In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you the top 3 most common chess opening mistakes after 1.e4. These mistakes were made in over 4 million games, so you definitely need to know how to punish them.
These mistakes happen in the most common opening moves in amateur and club level players, which are 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6, arriving at the Two Knights Defense. The errors made by most players happen in this variation, and the Fried Liver Attack where White plays 4.Ng5, and also in the Italian Variation of the Four Knights Game which happens after White plays 4.Nc3.

Hello Sir, Make endgame strategy and videos.
Love your videos but are you ill? You sound like you've got a rough cold go easy on yourself brother
Amaizing strategy!
Thanks a lot Igor for another so Great Chessvideo! 😊♟
what about if white realizes pawn fork is coming and sacs his bihsop with check, that happens often, who is better then. material is even.
Nice video 👍
It is very fascinating. You play exactly same moves to all 3 white approaching.
At 4:06, why would Black capture the knight with its queen first? If Black captures with its Bishop, it gets an extra piece.
Thank you, I have been playing for almost a month, I’m at 1600 max rating puzzles and training myself more.
Thank you.
Brother, message me, I have a good idea for a simple logo for you. Free idea, of course!!
🙂
Tanks master
Lmao, so is the Italian Game just an outdated opening for White in the hyper-modern era? Looking along the lines of the Philidor with how many counters presented 😂😂
I got scared when you mentioned the fried liver attack,but its actually just when you play some line
Thank you Igor, can you believe that some people say that you are a fake, i continually argue with them that they don't know what they are talking about, but it still hurts what they say!.I think you are a born Chess teacher, your explanation are top notch from my point of view!
Your videos are captivating and bring nice ideas, but only in case opponent is cooperating. I tried multiple of your opening weird lines in blitz which you said are surprisingly sound and quickly got into troubles, as in real play almost no opponent played anticipated moves. Great example is Nf3 d5 e4 line. I played maybe 20 games with it and got into lines you explain just maybe twice. Here in this i also see multiple holes, where perfectly natural moves by opponent lead to troublesome position for black.
in 2nd mistake after black Nxe4 if white Bxf7 bthen it wil be bed for black
Hi. Im happy to see the new video 🙂
👍👍
After RF8 N CAN GIVE D3+ and maybe here game can Finnish… with Q×F8#
I would love to see a video on pawn endgame, I'm making so many opposition mistakes and losing a drawn position. (1400 player)
Sir can you name me this application i want these chess peices plz teell repaly
4… Nxe4 for the Fried Liver Attack? Isn't that a suicide move??
IIgor, where is your Cat? We whant to see it in behind
At 9:32 if opposition play the pawn at g3 towards our queen then….
That moment when you realize your enemy is also watching this😆
Telegram pls
very nice very nice
I subscribed to this great channel, and also bought a course from your website. But I have to tell you that even though materials and courses on your website are excellent but the biggest disadvantage and drawback on your website is speed, it is so slow to respond almost impossible to watch the course I bought via streaming (edited : I mean especially when I use my tablet/Ipad almost impossible to do so) so I have to download them and watch them on laptop/pc
I do hope that you can significantly increases your website performance
RESOLVED : now there’s no trouble watching streaming courses that I bought from your website, apparently my problems was due to “SSL or security something like that”, is it because of your courses videos using vimeo? I really don’t know, but my problems completely solved after I use VPN, i have no trouble at all
Its strange but when you say the word ' RESPOND' I swear you sound exactly like how Gary Kasporov says it. Its uncanny!!!!
You can't believe that but it realy worked out like the magic
Up
what if White pushes pawn to d3 on 01:57 ? should I retreat the Knight at Nc5 and then Ne6 to protect the Fried Liver attack?
Thank you for the explanation on how to counter the fried liver. Those attacks used to really freak me out until I learned about Queen H4
What if after fried lever attack, bishop takes the pawn and not knight?
Very helpful
If rather than castling after the the black queen comes to h4 white moves the queen to f3 it looks totally winning to me.
Finally this hated position, Its so insanely boring! I am surely gonna study out myself of this cheme
Good to know! I play the Italian myself and avoid the risks of Ng5 using d3, but once in a while I like to mix stuff up
The only line of interest here is the first one with 4.0-0?, instead after 4.Nc3 after he wastes time on something suboptimal he admits 4….Nxd4 5.Nxd4 d5 6.Bd3 is perfectly playable, and after 4.Ng5 Nxe4 is trash
Common:2 rocks legendary:queen corner
Sir on position white is winning by checking knight to e5.
I don't see how Ng5 (Fried liver Attack) is a mistake (or a top 3 error) after watching this video. Did I miss something?
I looked at 4 … Nxe4 for Black in response to the Fried Liver Attack, thinking it was an error for White in this video trying the Fried liver Attack in the first place, hoping this was a Bust to the Fried Liver, because of the developing double attacking move of d5! – but, the 4 … Nxe4 move seems like an incorrect recommendation, after White's correct response leading to a better position for White instead of a defense for Black, because of the mentioned line: 5. Bxf7+ (not Nxe4, not Nxf7) Ke7 6. d3 Nf6 7. Bb3 d5, which according to Stockfish Analysis is a +2.0 position for White.
I'm a 1300 rated online player. This video makes it looks so easy playing chess.
After queen h4…..they don't castle, rather they play the move g3….attacking yo queen…..then what do you do next in that situation?
At 5:00 he says N-c3 is a mistake because Black can play Nxe4. What if White plays Bxf7+? Kxf7 (losing castling) and White plays Nxe4.
Chess is hard
I've been following your videos for a long time and I must say they are fantastic. I think that sooner or later I'll have to pay back by buying one of your chess courses😁
