At 58 years old I'm just starting my journey with chess. So much to learn. I already knew the basics, the names of the pieces, how they moved etc... But from there I was/am lost. It's addictive though, and every time I win a game it makes me want to play more. Even when I lose, I learn. Thanks for making these videos so I can continue to learn how to play better chess.
3rd trap is called the Elephant Trap. 4th trap Qa5 is the Cambridge Springs Variation. The 5th trap is Lasker's Trap. There are some other traps a little later in the game around moves 10-14 in the queens Gambit but mostly it's just a safe opening that gives you good endings and king safety.

HI. At your question at about the 6:12 mark, why can't the king castle instead of moving the pawn? While it would box in the king, it shifts the balance of the board.
Questions are a burden too others answers a prison for ones self........The Prisoner tv series . Best ever, second is Danger Man which is who No6 is despite McGoogan's denials. Episode called ' checkmate ' as well...........
This guy can show you a lot of perspective on lanes and forks.. piece development.. But the choices will always offer big questions.. Use professional perspective.
This is a super helpful video thank you so much. I am wanting to impose my queens gambit knowledge and this has helped. Are there any common traps for Rudy Lopez? I like to play that as white but it seems to often end up with a very positional game, just positioning and taking a long time before any exciting options become available.
This video really helped me. I just wanted to mention that for the first trap, I think there’s a way out of losing the rook as black. After Qf3, black can sacrifice the knight to save the rook. After Qxc6+, black plays Bd7.

In minute 1:50 you get a knight, not a rook. After the move queen to f3 the opponent plays knight to c6. Queen captures for check and then black moves his bishop to d7 - defending the king and at the same time defending the rook with his queen.
Yes, my sentiments exactly! The "Knight to c6 move" is a vacating sacrifice. Which allows a "discovered protection" for the Rook, when the Bishop comes to d7. Better to lose 3 points instead of 5.
The first trap given in this video comes up very often in regular games and especially in blitz games. I always play the Queen's Gambit as white and I have become knowledgeable in the traps in this opening.

9:23 ‘Standard Queen’s Gambit Moves’ White normally won’t play Bd3 when playing the queen’s gambit, it just wastes a turn when the pawn takes, bishop takes.
2:06 well.. i might be wrong, but i think there is something you can do. Queen to C7. If white captures the rook, move knight to c6 and the queen should be unable to go anywhere.
13:36 I think in order to grab queen, black should check with bishop before promoting the pawn. What if the King go back to e1 when knight check? You can't grab queen.
if white plays Ke1 you can do Qh4+. If pawn blocks, then Qe4+ is a double attack on the king and rook. If king moves, then it has to be Kd2 to avoid the skewer with the bishop, at which point your knight is safe because of a threatened fork on d4. So at this point you're a full piece up with lots more development, it's completely winning
I was doing a training program in Lucas Chess and it went over the Queens Gambit, really happy I played it because it's become my favorite opening by far. I tried starting with the English but I just don't really enjoy the middle-games that come from it.
What I hate to learn chess opening are 1. I dunno what to do in mid game (with new opening) 2. I dunno how they counter my opening 3. I dunno if there are traps This video is one of the most useful chess opening explanation (about what to do, what others might do, and what the traps are) Nice video! Ps. I hope you also make a video like this abt other openings
in trap no.4 the knight can go to e5 and if knight trades and queen takes the pawn it is checkmade by white. I analyzed it and trap 4 first trap wont work but am i mistaken?
@0:45 why would the White Pawn go from e2-e3 instead of controlling the center by going from e2-4 OR bringing out the White Queen from d-1-a4 to put the Black King in Check & then take the unprotected Black Pawn at d-5 ?
Playing the computer I kept getting killed when gambit accepted, K to c3 then black plays pawn to e5 would love the best play for white. 12 unsuccessful attempts to counter this move. Love the videos
The first trap there is an error. If the queen goes to f3 to threaten the rook, black can play knight to c6. If the queen takes knight black can move bishop to d7 and then the rook is safe. So he actually can stop the rook from being taken
I'm very interested in your style of play or play I live in Reno since 85 I had AI had a rating of 1800 and I bought just recently a chess game grandmaster chess were the pieces moved themselves that I was dying to get I can't wait to play it but where I'm living right now I can't I don't want to get into that but I don't want nobody messing with this game in any case I do plan on getting back into the game join a club Get back into the chess federation and hopefully start playing some tournaments even though I'm 76 years old I can still play the game I thought my kids should play the game Life is a chess game all you gotta know is the rules and make your best move More than happy to join your organization thank you Michael.
On 4:32 white bishop takes pawn on f7 and you say that's the end of black. Could you tell me why is the black king obligated to take the bishop and then lose the queen?
I'm fairly new to chess so maybe I am missing something, but in the first trap you say black cannot save his rook. But with ...Nc6 2. Qxc6+ Bd7, you can't take the rook cause black queen would just recapture. What am I not seeing?
The last trap is risky. At 12:10, I think that dxe3 is a mistake because there is Qa4+. Whatever black response is, white will be up with a pawn, or worse, a bishop. This is how i see it. 1.Qa4+, Nc6 2.Bxb4, exf2+ 3.Kxf2 or, 1.Qa4+, Bd7 2.Qxb4, exd2+ 3.Nxd2 or, 1.Qa4+, c6 2.Qxb4, exd2+ 3.Nxd2 or, Worse response: 1.Qa4+, Qd7 2.Qxd7+, Bxd7 3.Bxb4, exf2+ 4.Kxf2

That last trap is absolutely savage
But in that too, the king can go to adjacent black square of queen instead of taking knight, then queen is saved
@@pattabiramans No, it can't - the black Queen prevents that.
The last trap couldn't the opponent choose to castle?
Man I'd cry if I someone did that to me.
Haha yeah

How we can protect king in Chess detailing 6 years old boy very cleverly
Trap 1 - Save rook by blocking with knight.
Just curious. At 3:34, why wouldn't the black bishop just take the white queen at A4 instead of backing up?
@@miuzik8op908 does this loose knight?
@@darksyde3000 watch again from 3:00 (the example does not have the bishop there prior to the queen)
That exchange for a Knight was epic! Blew my mind. Nice one!
I just love this lesson! I haven't played the Queen's gambit (both sides) for a long time! I look at it this time with 'new eyes'! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
I like GM Smirnov's annotation style! Very clear, friendly and non-boasting.
Best video, simple and fruitful.

DID YOU FORGET TO TURN OFF ALL CAPS?
Thanks for sharing this traps because i really love the d4 opening
In minute 1:50 you get a knight, not a rook.
After the move queen to f3 the opponent plays knight to c6.
Queen captures for check and then black moves his bishop to d7 - defending the king and at the same time defending the rook with his queen.
Yes, my sentiments exactly! The "Knight to c6 move" is a vacating sacrifice. Which allows a "discovered protection" for the Rook, when the Bishop comes to d7. Better to lose 3 points instead of 5.
yea i was coming to comments for the same reason
and also defending the pawn on b5...
Or black plays bishop b7, Q×b7 and then K d7 saving Rook. But the essence is you are a whole piece up.!!
Please read Nd7 instead of Kd7
Can you please make a similar video on the King's gambit? Thanks!
Awesome video! Thanks.
The traps are what make these openings cool. I just finished a game and my opponent fell right into them. Great job Igor!
The first trap given in this video comes up very often in regular games and especially in blitz games. I always play the Queen's Gambit as white and I have become knowledgeable in the traps in this opening.
Can't you save the rook by playing knight C6 then bishop D7?
@@viktorhultcrantz8625 yes, idk why he didn't mention that in the video. But you still win the knight so you're still winning
Bedankt heren! Heb jullie gemist vorige week!

At minute 5:24. Can you not save the queen (or at least do a queen's exchange) by sacrificing your knight with a move from D7 to C4?
Wow. Awesome! I can't wait to use these tips. THANK YOU!
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing tricks. Thank you
Nice way of explaining it. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Very helpful and instructive video. Feeling excited to employ 'em in the game.
Great to hear!
Quite interesting!! Good job
Glad you think so!
Thank you. Did really enjoyed that.
Glad you enjoyed it
I knew the first one and the last one. I learned the last one as the Lasker Trap, very beautiful trap
when i play the queens gambit , my opponent doesnt do these stuff
Just the way your learning queens gambit, there are various ways to destroy it....
Μ2
yup exactly.
there was a lyrics block on you'r board it doesn't clear to watch on video
Super videos. Nice teaching style. Thanks
thank you very much for your valuable tips.
Such an informative video!! Thank you!
Clearly explained, thanks mate
Great video. The second to laat k e where Bishop was taken fo free waa epic.
Thanks for the great vids. Always fun and informative. What happens if Bb7 when Qf3. At least it saves the rook. Or is that another disaster.
Thanks for the video. Can't wait to try it out
Hope you have success with it
Thank you this was very helpful
At 2:06 if you move the bishop to B7 then after he captures it could you not move the knight to D7 to save the rook?
Yes
Brilliant video
Wow! Really helpful stuff. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

2:06 well.. i might be wrong, but i think there is something you can do. Queen to C7. If white captures the rook, move knight to c6 and the queen should be unable to go anywhere.
Yes, but white can get the queen out. Ra6 for example.
do you have any courses for adults just learning?
Ty so much for this!
Great video. Very good instructions.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Look forward to trying these out 😃
RCA: "Alright and then you take the piece to win the game"
Me: manages to blunder a piece and then the game a couple of moves later
Hey dude, have a nice day , I'm just wondering how king's gambit works can you do some traps of it. Thanks. Anyway your video was nice.,
Lol no reply for almost a year.
Very cool review, thank you!!
What if black goes bishop e6 to defend the pawn on the first trap?
13:36 I think in order to grab queen, black should check with bishop before promoting the pawn. What if the King go back to e1 when knight check? You can't grab queen.
I’m going to play this opening all day & try it out. Thanks 👍
Great video, thank you!
Do you offer coaching to beginners?
Wonderful video lesson! Keep up the good work!! But, I have a question. What if White plays 8.Ke1 in the last trap here?
I was wondering the same thing.
Black would play Qh4 check then Qe4 probably winning the rook
I had the same questoon. Looks like the promotion to the knight was wrong move. Bb5 instead
if white plays Ke1 you can do Qh4+. If pawn blocks, then Qe4+ is a double attack on the king and rook. If king moves, then it has to be Kd2 to avoid the skewer with the bishop, at which point your knight is safe because of a threatened fork on d4. So at this point you're a full piece up with lots more development, it's completely winning
At 6:20 I would just play pawn e6 to block the white bishop coming to F7 and follow up my attack with pawn B5
i really like the last one. thank you
You're welcome 😊

12:22 what if the pawn on tge left captures the trap pawn?
subbed great stuff
Thank you for this
but what do you do when you play E4 as white and black plays knigt to c6?
I keep watch your video thanks again
I love the video and would like to cover some opening traps with kings pawn openings for white. Keep it up!
in trap no.4 the knight can go to e5 and if knight trades and queen takes the pawn it is checkmade by white. I analyzed it and trap 4 first trap wont work but am i mistaken?
In 4:41, what if black king move to d8? Is that a move to save the queen?
Please post more variations in queens gambit traps Igor Sir.
Thank you so much
@0:45 why would the White Pawn go from e2-e3 instead of controlling the center by going from e2-4 OR bringing out the White Queen from d-1-a4 to put the Black King in Check & then take the unprotected Black Pawn at d-5 ?
If there are any traps or instructive games regarding to the Catalan Opening, it would be great and much appreciated.
Thank you😁
What if black just takes on A4? You mentioned black defending the B5 pawn with A6 or C6. But what if they just take?.
I gotta watch this one a couple of more times
Now I know why I've lost so many games. Thanks for posting. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!

1:50
The black side can block the attack with Nc6.
Then Queen captures and Bd7.
The Black side is a piece down but its better than losing a rook.
@Pniel Gaming Bd7
Genius moves. !!!! Luved this. ! TY. 😁✌
Glad you enjoyed it
Very good. Great video thanks
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Queens gambit is the best opening for learning the basics of the game. It is deep and branched enough for experienced players too.
Your videos are great! Well done!
Thank you very much!

3.Kxf2 or,
1.Qa4+, Bd7
2.Qxb4, exd2+
3.Nxd2 or,
1.Qa4+, c6
2.Qxb4, exd2+
3.Nxd2 or,
Worse response:
1.Qa4+, Qd7
2.Qxd7+, Bxd7
3.Bxb4, exf2+
4.Kxf2
Thanks
Excellent.
12:13 instead of white bishop takes black bishop, white should take the pawns by pawns. In that case black bishop will have to retreat on next move
Amazing bro!! Nice video
After white Bxf7, black play Kd8. And then how to continue?
