GM Igor you supply my favorite content! The reason? You're tapping into the heads of mid-level players (1500-1800). You're not afraid to explain your moves/strategy/thought process to your audience with a sense of true education.
Love these videos. I also like the courses I bought. The style is really different, trying to get people to understand how the game works. Keep it up Igor
I can 'only' win the queen, in the puzzle. Can't find a checkmate. You're still the best Igor, I really wish you'd to a speedrun, showing us different openings & tactics during games. No-one explains tactics, tricks & traps better than you, your speedrun would gain millions of likes. I'll check out your lesson sale & hope for a bargain! Love.
One tip on the Knight Attack Opening ( Ng4), if you're White, in a more lengthy, equal variation, protect your C2 square that can potentially result in a fork of Whites King and Rook.
Great video. Can you cover the world championship btw gukesh and ding. It would be great to hear from a GM, the moves and strategies done by the players in the game.
It was an interesting video, although the computer does not accept some victims, it seems wrong, of course, we humans make mistakes, but we are looking for strong traps that end in winning, not losing.
I have played the queen out in front of the King after the King captures the knight. Most opponents won't capture the queen with their queen, but instead take the knight with the bishop. Then I interpose my bishop between the king and the attacking bishop. If they take the bishop, I take back with the King still guarding the queen. I will lose another minor piece but not the game necessarily. What about this?

You just showed how to break down a castle king with no problem. This can be used in so many different ways. Thanks for this
Thanks. It has been a while since I have looked at the Italian. Your video was a good review for me.

Rxe6 - fxe6 - f7 - no matter where the king moves you take the queen. If they dont take on e6 you are up a piece
you ment f7 right?
@@dmantoyes I'm sure he meant f7
sorry I'm not that good at chess, but what happens if the king is moved to d7 in response to Rxe6?
You take the queen
@@streamcookiesxcreamYou are a bishop up.
Either retreat the rook before you lose it.
Or continue to attack eg queen to give a check.
Wow, this is a really good video. I can't remember it all in one viewing, but it's nice to just see an overview. will watch again for sure.
You are literally my online coach with these videos since 2022.
Wish I could get your guidance now(Not your courses).
🙂
I can 'only' win the queen, in the puzzle.
Can't find a checkmate.
You're still the best Igor, I really wish you'd to a speedrun, showing us different openings & tactics during games.

Italian game is my favorite opening, thanks a lot!
BEST FREE NICE CHESS TACTICS AND TRAPS !!!
Great video. Can you cover the world championship btw gukesh and ding. It would be great to hear from a GM, the moves and strategies done by the players in the game.
Just on time! My teacher suggested me studying the Italian!
Bro 😂😂😂😂😂
Your way explaining very simple but very effective I really like it
Thanks for a new precious lesson👏👌👌👌
The best one about the Italian game
Please do this for the london
any chance you could do a version for Queens Gambit? Igor 🙏
6:33 Probably Rxe6+, they have to take with the f pawn, then white to f7 mate & bishop threatens queen
Haa. Italian. Was waiting for this one
21:59 most humiliating line for single like me
How do you feel about the Evans gambit?
Igor plz cover and analyze the critical moves
16:19 Ng4 instead of d6
Please do lesson caro kann also.
Mr Igor I wanted to ask some things that is it mithun Chakraborty really famous in Russia? Like the person in disco dancer song. Is it true ?
A fried Liver / Traxler from both perspectives would be cool. Sure, they're a ton of them out there already but it's just good fun, playful chess. :)
Love ur vids
Big like even before watching !!!
11:45 h4
Can you please make a video about Evans Gambit. You have only one video that you have made yourself❤
Rock and roll baby!
Please do this for the Ruy Lopez
Please igor make video on sicilian difense main line for white😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Make one for najdorf
2:47
Hey igor i analized my games and i found out that when my opponents make a positional mistake i cant make use of it
It was an interesting video, although the computer does not accept some victims, it seems wrong, of course, we humans make mistakes, but we are looking for strong traps that end in winning, not losing.
"plain game" is the most natural translation in English of the Italian "giuoco piano"
Tks

Awesome!
Puzzle of the Day:
Sacrifice the Roooooooooooooooook!
I have played the queen out in front of the King after the King captures the knight. Most opponents won't capture the queen with their queen, but instead take the knight with the bishop. Then I interpose my bishop between the king and the attacking bishop. If they take the bishop, I take back with the King still guarding the queen. I will lose another minor piece but not the game necessarily. What about this?
what if e6 instead of e5?
Yes: probably "gioco piano" meant "easy game" (not "slow game").
Keep it up
So if black doesn’t open with the pawn and knight, yet I still move my pawn bishop and rook this isn’t considered the Italian game?
14:46 what if they take rook
Qh5
"Igor Smirnov" - there literally couldn't be a more Russian name! (Maybe Mikhail Kalashnikov)
What if black plays night to f6?
I also keep loosing to that
Rxe6+
at 5:43 En passant is forced. (it's a meme guys)
Man I'm really struggling to find a solid weapon against the sicilian that isnt some gambit line
Try the prins variation gm igor has uploaded it already it has a simple setup no theory
@@Monish-z3t I'll check it out thanks
🎉
Love the videos but it's a lot of information to retain.
goodluck
opening for black
Rook into bishop
Chess is a nice game. Sad that most chess players not worse air they inhale. Why descent people almost never play this game?
Mostly because of ligma
weak. rarely have anyone follow these traps
First :)
