In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you a powerful counter-technique that can shut down both early queen attacks and the Bishop's Opening with a single refutation.
These two opening tricks are commonly encountered, even at higher rating levels, making it crucial for you to have a solid defense. With this refutation, you'll be well-prepared to face these aggressive tricks and secure a winning position.
The Bishop's Opening occurs after the opening moves 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4. In modern days, most chess players hide their intent of early queen attack or Scholar's Mate by first playing Bc4 and only then bring out their queen (either to h5 or to f3 on the next move), and this gives them more flexibility.
GM Smirnov suggests that you play 2...c6, which is the most straightforward way to refute their move 2.Bc4, aiming to play 3...d5, push the White's bishop away, grab the center, and get a positional advantage.
At this point, White has 3 options:
3.Qh5 - going for the early queen attack or Scholar's Mate
3.Qf3 - similar idea of attacking the f7-pawn
3.Nf3 - continuing the Bishop's opening and attacking the e5-pawn
And you will learn how to counter each one of them!
By mastering these strategies to counter both early queen attacks and the Bishop's Opening, you equip yourself with effective defenses against aggressive opening attempts.
Whether it's deflecting the early queen attack or capitalizing on the weaknesses in the Bishop's Opening, you'll be well-prepared to secure a winning position and outmaneuver your opponents.

Thank you Igor. I am around 600 elo and I have been studying counter attacks from your previous videos on early queen attacks. This one helps though especially because most try to use this backwards scholar's mate to get a great position after kf3. I was confused for so long on what to play after that move and now I know. Thank you.
I love your teaching style
So relatable and you make things easy to understand
You've improved my game massively
Thank You
I run into this early bishop move so often and haven't learned, until now, how to defend properly !! Now... i have some ammunition to fight back with ! Thanks, GM BossMan for the several excellent examples.
Thank you Igor. Great analysis as always

What is better than get a good trick? Getting 2 good tricks 👍
Thanks Igor, dealing with the early queen moves are annoying. Can you make a repertoire about the trompowsky attack and whether I should play it or not. Great vid as always
It is possible to give some hint and tricks for the sicilienne grivas,somes young great master like play this opening for black,thank you for your answer.I play this and got some good games thank you for your help.
when the video comes when you are in trouble with early queen attacks :)
Interesting suggestion c6 - given that in the companion video How to meet the Bishop's Opening [traps included] you recommend Nc6. So we use our time machine to find our if W is going for Q attack or more traditional and choose accordingly? Neither video contemplates that W will not pay ball. Or is it e.g. c6 against 1000 ELO or less (more likely to go for Q walks) otherwise Nc6 ?
6:20 from what I've seen Bb3 is the only serious move for White, but for Black yeah, exd5 would be nice to see.
I like knight to c6. If the white queen goes to the h file and possibly getting the e5 pawn. But I will try this opening.
GM Igor, I have a question for you.
I notice that most of these gambits and traps work by freeing up space by sacrificing pawns. Here is my question. In general, which pawns would you say are safer to sacrifice than others? If I would choose between a kings pawn or queens pawn, which one do I want to save? I hope my question makes sense, just looking for an in general kind of answer??
You are awesome! I watch several of your videos every day and see constant improvement in my games. Thank you!
The classic way to counter 2. c6 is to strike with 3. d4 and you can recapture with the queen because black doesn't have Nc6 as the classic punish
l still like 2.....Nf6 It launches an immediate counter attack and keeps the queen out of h5.
is this sound against Bishop's opening? 1) e4 e5 2) Bc4 Qg5.
The only thing I wonder is what it Bxf7+ on move 2? That is something I have seen a lot with this opening too. Kxf7 is a mire of problems after Qf3+.
For a +2000 player there are NO real problems after Bxe7 on second move.
This video isn't aimed at a 2000+ player though...
No ordinary player thinks like we GMs do😂
What is your IQ?
1. e4
Anybody wanna test me?
I like the end with just the Bishop opening. Me thinks turn it into a cow. 🤣
Nah at 2:25 mark they would've just checked the king and traded queen there but then their king wouldn't have been able to castle after the exchanges
When you learn theory but opponent plays somthing else😢
No one talks about playing e6 when playing a Sicilian… big sad
First Comment! Weeeeee!!
Are those supposed to be boxing gloves in your thumbail? If so, please, dear igor, never enter a boxing ring and stay with chess. If you would fight the way you would ''wear'' those gloves you would be up for a quick matening attack to your chin :P
Thanks Igor for exactly what I was looking for as black! 😊👍♟
