Very enriching.
Thanks nerd.
Great
👋
Great content for anybody who enjoys chess.
have you ever heard of the diemer-duhm gambit (a variant of the BDG ). I played in a few correspondence thematic tournaments in the 90s.
10:57 I think the more precise move here is Nf3. The reasoning being the d5 knight is unstable and black owes white a tempo to move it later on anyway. Nf3 is more flexible and white keeps e4 in reserve hanging it over black's head.
Rich content. Thanks Igor, a lot. 🌹🌹🙏🏻
Excellent explanation! Thank you very much!
Would you do a video on traps in the symmetrical English? If there are any common ones, anyway…
Wonderful 👍
Thank you so much for make all videos about tips, It really helped me once again, thank you very much sir! 🔥👏👍💪🙏🏼
Been playing the queens gambit for quite some time now so it's good to be able to know how to punish some early mistakes.
Best explanation of why people play 1.d4 I've seen. Queens Gambit lesson was great too.
I think it would be easier for the student if you teach the "standard" play straight through first, then go backward step-by-stop looking at mistake/variations. To teach the variations right off the second move, and then teach less played things first…. I finished the whole video and am more confused than before.

At 11:05, 4. Nf3 is a bit more precise than 4. e4. Nf3 is a hedge against the e5 pawn break. Once the knight retreats to f6, Black is set up to play e5, then exchange queens, and play Ng4 if white takes e5. It's a little nuance that I keep in mind in that position and similar ones.
I started following ur videos as a 700 rated player and currently am at 1400 u have really helped me
i still cant bring myself to make the mirror pawn move at start…i used to do it as a child to not insult elderly
Could you add Payoneer to the affiliates.
Because of your channel I'm up to 1103 from being 850ish a few months ago, great analysis and diagnosis of lines we might come across
I play the Albin Countergambit, maybe a video on that would be good if you know some ideas about it

Everything Igor says makes perfect sense. I just hope I can remember maybe 15% of it.
Thanks so much for the sharing of your knowledge
GM Smirnov is a born chess teacher, i think he is very much underestimated !
8:44 I had exactly this trap set up against an opponent after I've seen this video, but I was a little disappointed, that my opponent did not loose the rooke. Actually he just lost a knight by sacrificing it an c6, queen takes check, then bishop d7. Now the rooke is defended by the queen and my queen is attacked. There is nothing I can do but too retreat. Or am I missing something? Great channel.
Hi Igor. Thank you! This video is fantastic.
Love the videos!! I follow your ideas..I love attacking!
Very interesting
What if black brings out c4 d4
You really helped me improving playing chess. Thank you,I love ur channel
Great video. Lots of detail, which i like.
at 7:25: black counters with knight c6 – blocking the chess and covering the bishop. White counters with a3 ? Fine… bishop pulls back and prepares attack on f2.
Queen to a4 is by no means the silver bullet you claim it is ….
Sir Can you uploud some videos about Queen's Gambit ???
I love beth harmon 😍
As an E4 guy, this video sheds so much light and encouragement in playing D4.
I love when a poker coach says you win the bishop and pretty much win the game right away. Trust me I’m always in a situation where I’m +5+8 and figure out how to lose the game lol.
Your lessons are so good. I already have a playlist of your videos. And I also subscribed 🙂
Btw, Are you a coach?
What if blacks pawn on b6 gets defended by bishop d7? I have had that happen two times in a row now, and thanks for great content Igor!
black bishop d7, do the same moves you trade pawns bishon takes then bishop goes back to c6, protecting the bishop with the knight and not only defending the rook, but counter attacking the queen and not forgetting he took that pawn i sacrificed a few seconds ago. What do i do in this situation?
I can’t for the life of me remember the decline moves
4 minutes in and I understand way more than I have in the the last month! You are an amazing teacher! Thank you so much.
what if
1)d4 – kf6???
Why e3 instead of e4 when the gambit is accepted
so basically four minutes of rubbish talk, thank goodness there was a speed up button
That trap for black is so cool!
Don't talk too much!
