How to beat the French?
Hey Igor! Don't worry about the length of this video--it is a POEM!! I want to watch it a few more times! Please keep it available!!
Please bring more such crash courses on scandanavian defense and London system too
Yeah London is so annoying to play that I play Englund gambit just to avoid it
@@bigmonkey6801 u could also play the symmetrical london
@@bigmonkey6801 try the dutch. It will confuse most London players 👍🙂
@@bigmonkey6801 yeah, I hate d4 players
@@Zywl me too
I'd watch a 8 hour video no problem, longer the better. You're the best.
GM Igor just condensed 350 years of chess theory into just 23 minutes and 14 seconds! Pure genius!
You are the best!!! More of these long and very clear videos explaining popular openings!!
These are the videos so many of us need. Just what to do in these normal situations. Thanks for the clear analysis!
Thank you for this lesson, which I found to be particularly valuable. To have a thorough and well thought thru crash course on an opening, both as white (your other crash course on the Italian) or as black, I feel gives me with a much more solid and well rounded foundation in understanding it, especially since the Italian opening is unknown to me. Really appreciate your taking the time to put this together!
Thank you so much. It's always a treat when you post a new video.
It was funny when you were trying to find a move for White and couldn't - that means Black was really hurting him.
This is very nice one. So many games go these directions. Only bit missing here is evans gambit, which is almost death sentence for unprepared black player. Covering that would be very nice as well 🙂
Add some more course, thank you
Wow, just wow! What an extraordinary game! Thanks Igor, and keep up the great work! 😊
I appreciate your research and your demeanor in your presentations. You are a fine teacher and not just a game commentator.

Do you know why?
Because you've got talent, since you're born.
That's all folks🎉😊😂❤
Igor, you are the best chess teacher on RUclips!
very instructiv, clear and interessting! Thank you from Germany
I have had a lot of success with the g5 and g4 pawn push after h3. But I have never seen the other idea with Ng4 and f5, that looks very interesting and dangerous!
Thanks a lot, Igor. I've learnt a lot from you
Brilliant Igor love these videos so helpful thank you👌👌👌

This is my favourite attack side
I love fried liver attack as black, that leads to super sharp tactical Positions.
Best teacher on chess
Thanks from Texas!
This is my favorite video of yours
thank you ...
Great! I am always struggling with black. Hopefully I will do better from now on.
Love you sir ,with your crash course my opening concept has now clear vision , thanks GM Igor Smirnov sir 🎉❤ It's always interesting and fantastic to go through your videos.

Thank you so much for this video😄
😊
You are doing great job which is teaching, your videos really inspire me to be best in chess, Thank you 🙏
Glad to hear that
dude people may say they dont like the long videos. but if you ever make a long one, i would love it. More info the better
It seems most people play Knight g5 before pawn c3. Would like to see a video on that.
thanks i never learnt italian
I love the Italian game. As black. As soon as the bishop moves, Rousseau gambit every time.
Right, but here he “recommends” 3… bishop instead instead of Rousseau.
@@Nill757 but Rousseau
I appreciate you a lot, but I also want to ask you do do you explanations a little bit slower
Another great Video !! How about Ruy Lopez for Black?? 😁 Thanks GM SMirnov!
Great explanations, keep it up!
Thanks!
Thank you GM Igor for the great chess teachings :)...👏👏👏
Glad you like them!
@@GMIgorSmirnov Spasibo Ogromnoe just the way you do what you do and it has been always a pleasure to learn from you the wonders of chess. Many blessings!
Italian game is the most common opening. Yet it still one of the most trickiest opening. Sometimes you can literally sacrifice the pawns for an attacking
What about Nd2? (Instead Nf3 in the first example)
One thing missing in this analysis comes after:
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 Bc5
4. c3 Nf6
5. d4 exd4
6.cxd4 Bb4+
7. Nc3 Nxe4
8. O-O
This position is at 4:23 in the video. Instead of playing Nxc3, Black can also play Bxc3. 9. bxc3 no longer creates the same danger for Black that 8. ... Nxc3 created.
After 8. ... Bxc3 9. bxc3, Black wins 53% of the time, compared to 42% for White. (Had Black played Nxc3, 0. bxc3 results in a 63% win rate for White, compared with only 35% for Black.) The best moves from that point for both players are:
8. ... Bxc3
9. d5 (This works better for White than bxc3, and he will get the piece back. Black cannot defend both the Knight and the bishop.)
... Bf6
10. Re1 (Now, Black cannot defend the knight on e5. The best he can do is to save the other knight.)
... Ne7 (Saving the queen's knight and relieving the pin on e5. White must now take the knight before it slips away.)
11. Rxe5 d6 (Preparing to deploy the light-square bishop)
White controls more space at this point, but Stockfish shows Black with the edge with the extra pawn. IMHO, it is much easier to play this sequence if you haven't got all the right moves memorized.
I'm only long castling when playing Italian now.
All your variations are based on a black bishop move to c5... I play italian very very often, not to say all times, and less that 10% opponents play the bishop. To prevent attack of white knight to g5, they will preferably push their pawn to h7 or f7
Brother it says in the title "for black", you shouldnt use this vídeo if you want to find info about the italian game from whites perspective
I protect king losing castle rights by putting my queen on e7. Because sometimes that white bishop flys in on their next move and takes pawn, checks king. Anyone else use your queen on e7?
He mentions moving the Bishop from c4 to b3 so it has a retreat square in case the knight attacks it. Wouldn't be better first to move the a pawn up so that the bishop can retreat to a2 and still attack the critical f7 square without retreating into being useless?
On minute 9:49 there is a blunder in analyses. After queen b5 black loses the knight and probably the game.
How to counter other gambit tries from white (Mainly the evans gambit but also more dubious ones like the Jerome)
11:01 Bg5 pinning the knight is actually computer best move, and defending with h6 is not the best move, why is it like that on stockfish
Just curious to ask you please prepare more plans for black in various attacking plans. Generally when we learn chess we used to concentrate on white attacks black defends..but more we want to know the vice versa. I hope you understand my point. Thank you
Hey! thanks for the comment. I agree. We have made some videos about aggressive openings for Black as well. Here is an example.
ruclips.net/video/i3SZlCXYjkg/видео.html
Hardest opening tonpkay agaisnt for black imo one move out of theory and you get a big disadvantage
(17:37) I absolutely love the move Bish-knight to d-2
What do you do when they play D5 after you play E4?
Who also does not like that crowded board in the italian game?
“…bc5. I recommend that you play”
What happened to. 3…pf5, Rosseau gambit defense for black, agains this opening, recommended for amateurs because white can fall into so many traps?
Now I'm confused whether I should actually play this as black or go along with Rousseau😅
GM Smirnov undoubtedly understands the amateur mind far better than most authors, and this video is a shining example. Unfortunately, calling it "all you need to know" in the Nc3 variation when it only covers White castling (9.0-0!?) and not covering the critical Moller attack (9.d5!) is suspect. True, most beginners don't know about this, but there are many videos covering various traps. Some day they will face it and will feel tricked when the recommended antidote of ...d5 is not possible. A stark omission. The Evans and the Max Lange are not considered part of the Italian proper but are close cousins and would need some prep before anyone can really be confident playing against 3.Bc4. Perhaps ideas to consider in future videos, Igor?
On minute 9:48, what if Qb5+ instead of Qa4+??
I pove ur videos the opening name for beginners
1:10 Bc5. What if white takes e5, Nxe5, d4?
Rousseau Gambit forever vs Italian.
On the end game, yes, a single Knight will defeat a single Bishop in my experience.
What if he simply retreats the queen back to b3 in the Bd2 line, its simply a draw
Maybe you should rename your video to "Italian game, Giuoco Pianissimo, with a6" I just checked lichess and that's a real name of the opening.
What if Bb4 check is defended with Nd2 instead of Nc3
3:13 u didnt cover the e5 variation after exd4
Handsome man
How about Qb5 +,& trapping knight at 9.46 time.
I have been staring at this position for so long, can find a good solution
Please help
Found it, just push the c pawn. The queen defends the knight on a
*What if they go 4. Nc3?*
This is the only chess Channel i watch.
Any 2020 Warzone vets does this guy remind you of IcemanIssac?
I play the Italians (I am 1500-1600 in bullet) my highest winning % of ANY opening is the Jerome gambit. 71% win rate
Unless you know the defense to the line you will likely misplay it.
That is absolutely absurd.
@@ethansmusic9898 Meaning? If they play the copycat Italian and you play Bxf7+ in a 1min game it completely throws the opponent off AND they can no longer castle. It isnt the easiest opening the play against if u dont know to move your king forward.
Its like playing against the Kings Gambit without knowing the basic defenses
9:57 what if Queen back to b3?
just knight back and repition = draw?
Bishop to to e5 maybe?
There are another 928389 lines I found for white to do, i want to die
ti pa zo
Igor, how do you earn money if all your videos are for free?..
This is literally all players 1100 -1400 on Lichess ever wanna play. So annoying
Just don't respond with e5!
Thanks a lot Igor for soo nice information in the Italian opening! 😊👍♟
