Trompowsky Attack against 2...e6 (Classical Defense)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- The Trompowsky Attack is a sharp opening which most often produces interesting and imbalanced positions. But. Black can choose to play 2...e6, in a very classical fashion, defending his knight, preventing Bxf6, and giving white the chance to seize the initiative by expanding with e4.

The Trompowsky Attack is an uncommon opening compared to the main line QG and Catalan positions. It's offbeat, creates unique imbalanced positions, and seldom leads to equal drawish positions. It is therefore logical to conclude that it's a fighting opening which white chooses in order to put black on the back foot and to gain a psychological edge.
Most Nf6 players dislike it or hate facing it. It disables them from playing their normal systems and it steers the game into, for them, often unknown territory.
The idea behind the Trompowsky is simple: trade bishop for knight and double black's f pawns. That is a pseudo threat, and black may choose to prevent or allow it. That choice will determine the nature of the position. Black has 6 main choices. Each will be covered in detail in a separate video.
The Classical Defense in the Trompowsky starts after 1. d4 Nf6 2. Bg5 e6
With this move black avoids the capture on f6, making sure his structure is not compromised, defending the knight with the queen. But. There is a big downside to playing like this. It's very passive, and it gives white the option to play e4 without any consequences.
That is why the positions after 2...e6 will most often be advantageous for white from a practical perspective. White will have more space and an easier time maneuvering his pieces and attacking.

Very thorough explanations 👍
Hello chess vibes
Great content! I know many people find the Trompowsky annoying 👍
excellent work on your videos mate. greatly appreciated!
5.c3 already feels very nice. White's moves are so obvious and easy to play.
Ah! I am so quick, Glad to see you upload.👍
Looking forward to the Torre Attack series ;D
17:40 yeah, qd2 is what I’ve played and reviewed in the past. I welcome qb4 :-)
Once again a very helpful and passionate video! Thank you so much, very good to improof!
No streaming in these times?
You're the best!!!!
Black should play 1. d4 Nf6 2. Bg5 e6 3. e4 h6 4. Bxf6 Qxf6 5. Nc3 Bb4 6. Qd2 d5, not 6...d6. You get an improved version of a good McCutcheon line, put it on your engine and play through the moves. You'll get a better version of this line from the McCutcheon:
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Bb4
5. e5 h6 6. Bh4 g5 7. Bg3 Ne4 8. Ne2 c5
9. a3 Nxc3 10. Nxc3 Bxc3+ 11. bxc3 Qa5 12. Qd2
I agree, maybe Stjepan you have often too faith that players will follow the main line!
Is it possible to play 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 e6 3.c4 transposing to the Orthodox Defense of the Queen's Gambit, avoiding the French Defense?
That would transpose to 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6, where 3. Bg5 is probably inaccurate move. However, Ivanchuk have played it recently, I think.
I'm playing this on a daily chess match; how is my trompowsky going so far? I'm planning to Fianchetto my light square bishop soon. 1. d4 Nf6 2. Bg5 e6 3. e4 Be7 4. Nd2 h6 5. Bxf6 Bxf6 6. e5 Bg5 7. Ngf3
GG ... A follow up of your fantastic d4 serie on the CATALAN could be the e4 King's Indian Attack (KIA) & the c4 English-Botvinik syst :pray:
.... Soon, series about the Jobava-London ? :pray:
