🔹 TRICKY Chess Opening for Black Against 1.d4 [Unstoppable Attack] –
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you a simple, universal, and aggressive chess opening for Black which you can play against virtually any first move of White. It happens after the first moves 1.e4 Nc6 2.d4 e5 3.d5 Ne7, which is known as the Kennedy, Linksspringer Variation from the Nimzowitsch Defense.
Although it may seem like White has a good position because of the strong central pawns, it is Black who gets to create a quick and devastating attack on the kingside. In fact, in the most played variation White loses in just 7 moves!

Im a 1900 player and been addicted to this as my main opening for over a decade with decent results and extremely fun games. black always gets to attack first. I play the atrocious Nh6 tho
helpful video

Happy birthday appreciation

Best wishes maestro. Thank you for all the helpful videos. It makes playing a lot more enjoyable 🎉
Thank you GM Smirnov!! I'd like to teach my students chess.
Happy birthday
Love your videos .
fantastic
happy birthday
I've played this opening quite a lot, and have had great success (relative to my rating of course) when my opponent plays ball. Where I struggle is having an adequate response to white's 1d4, 2Nf3 London System. I normally play 2d5 and move into a Chigorin-type defence. I also struggle with 1e4 Nc6 2Nf3. I don't want to play 2..e5 and other responses haven't been particularly successful. I normally move into a Pirc-type position. Any ideas/suggestions?
I'm late to the birthday Igor! Happy Birthday – thank you for all the lessons mate!
2:58 White could just go F3 and force the knight to retreat or be captured. I don't understand why anyone would castle at that point. I'm also really surprised to hear that advancing the white pawn to D5 is the most common next move in that early moment… you're just giving chase to a superior piece it makes no sense.
What is this called?
What is the opening called?
Igor, I love your videos, but as I become a better player I unfortunately find that the move order/set ups that you teach rely on unrealistically bad or naive play from your opponent- for example in this video black has two knights on G6 and F6 respectively- and yet white plays Knight E2? I cannot believe that Knight E2 is the most common response to a very obvious knight threat- perhaps for a 500 rated player but anyone over an Elo of 800 is gonna play A3 and stop the F6 knight from threatening A2.
Happy belated birthday!
Doesnt work
how do i beat the 250 bot.
I love you Igor Smirnov
What is the opening called?
Doesn't work absolute shit I tried it and if someone attacks ur Bishop whole thing don't work
What’s this opening called?
Nice, i will try this against english opening
Igor is quite adept at explicating valuable opening ideas that don't require reams of memorization. In many cases, just becoming aware of, and then remembering, the basic tactical theme that runs through the variations is enough to be able to play the opening competently. But be careful about playing with fire! In these days where ten-year-old kids are being trained by grandmasters, that 1200 player you think you're going to beat quickly with an opening trap may have gained 500-800 points in playing strength since the last tournament he/she was rated for.
Thank you sir for your videos. Happy Birthday. ❤️❤️
Best chess teacher !
Subscribing your channel immediately after watching this video
white d4 pawn will attack the b6 knight and if b6 knight goes to e5 then white will move pawn to f4 to attack the knight on e5
1:06 ayooo u almost did that…
Why is the most common move knight e2, could you explain what happens if they instead go kh3
Mi get a lotta 1d4. I play knight c6 but I run into the mikanes opening. How to deal with this?
Is this variation called somethinf yet if not lets call it smormov defense
This opening got me to not be afraid of 1. d4 anymore! Thank you so much!
Happy birthday after 3 months 👍
