Igor, I remember that a couple of years ago, you've made a 3-part detailed analysis of Smirnov gambit. Love it! I think even Naroditsky encountered it in his speedrun series recently :)
Thanks for all your opening lessons. Every opening I play, I learned how to do it from your videos. The tricks and tips you provide are high enough level to work most of the time against even 1600 rated players, and I can get winning positions, so thanks
It's great that you like to solve puzzles. We have more puzzle videos coming. About your question becoming a grandmaster, It is very hard to tell. It depends on your effort and how effect your training method is.
Immediately after black took the white rook you should've check the king then grab the pawn from e7 eventually leading to a mate (without the need for castelling)or if black blocking with his bishop - simply take it with the pawn... I don't know- if the king moves aside is it mate but if blocking with his bishop he can still handle the situation I can see...
Your videos are so educational I always have trouble playing against C5 I think all gambits are to let your opponent waste moves that he or she could have used to develop
But no mention at all of what to do after 4 ... d5, or 3 .. Nxb4. And my impression was that 2 ... d6 was at least as common a response as 2... Nc6. So it doesn't seem a great opening trap to recommend if it relies on opponents playing ball.

Dislike your videos? Never.

Thanks for your videos!

Very nice concept sir
good video. precise and on point
Oh this was a good one man thanks👍👍 one of those ones I am going to watch many times over.
Nice video
Cool video. That is why i have my routine when playing the sicillian. C5 e6. Prefending errors.
Could you do more chess puzzles? I love trying to solve them!
Also how long does it take to become a grandmaster?
It's great that you like to solve puzzles. We have more puzzle videos coming.
About your question becoming a grandmaster, It is very hard to tell. It depends on your effort and how effect your training method is.
6:05 how easy is to win this position? You still have an attack, but it's still a little material disadvantage (R, B and N for Q)
Thanks again GM Smirnov . But what happens after white Bc6 and black replies Qxd6 instead of Qxa1 ? Can white still win effortlessly ?
What if black takes the pawn on d6 with bishop instead of the rook. ?
Immediately after black took the white rook you should've check the king then grab the pawn from e7 eventually leading to a mate (without the need for castelling)or if black blocking with his bishop - simply take it with the pawn... I don't know- if the king moves aside is it mate but if blocking with his bishop he can still handle the situation I can see...
I tried your Scandinavian idea last night and of course, he left book on the third move, but I was careful and still won.
Thanks Mr. Smirnov, but it was not said the possibillity to take pawn b4 by the knight.
Then you go c3 Nc6 and d4, following the same ideas
@@Kutford Thank you for your suggestion.
What is wrong with taking the pawn on B4 with the knight?
Hey man. I don't mind the clickbait titles honestly. The content is what I'm here for and it never disappoints.
1: why not just grab the pawn with the knight?
2: why not move knight to h4 when attacked?
Your videos are so educational I always have trouble playing against C5 I think all gambits are to let your opponent waste moves that he or she could have used to develop
Thanks Igor, I´ve learned a lot from your videos. And btw, you already got my like and sub after that nice performance at 0:15 :) Cheers man
But no mention at all of what to do after 4 ... d5, or 3 .. Nxb4. And my impression was that 2 ... d6 was at least as common a response as 2... Nc6. So it doesn't seem a great opening trap to recommend if it relies on opponents playing ball.
I don't think I have ever played a game where my opponent used the Sicilian gambit.
It's funny seeing the game flip over
Моля те по казвай как да печелим със черните фигури
"Black is preparing for the next game" lol!
but why not Nxb4?
what if he takes 4b pawn with knight???
2...Nc6 is not the most common response.
isn,t this wing gambit?
ah that bs again, not gonna get those kiddos above 1500 with that.
This is taboo. People will take the pawn with the knight on move 3 and be perfectly fine.
c3 Nc6 d4 and it works the same as if bxc4
Thanks a lot Igor for this great trap agains Sicilian! 😊👍♟
😊
