18:30 I may be late, but I think Rxe6. If the black kinv doesn't take back, that's a free bishop. If he does, Nc7 double check at least get that rook back, might have checkmate potential.
No need to take the rook on a8. The knight guards the d5 & e6 squares and frees the white bishop for further attacks. A check mate is soon to follow after relentless attack 😃
As black D6 followed by c5 I win 55% of my games with black … 51 percent win with white 4% stalemate …. I need to learn how to be consistent with white
At 13:49 you say that Black cannot do anything against c3#, but actually can play Nd5, and postpone the "end", these are the suggestions of Stockfish, this ending is amazing (both players play the best moves, if Black does not play like this, the checkmate comes sooner): … Nd5, c3+ Nxc3, bxc3+ Ke3, 0-0 Nd4, Rfe1+ Ne2+, Kf1 Qxg5, Rxe2+ Kxf4, Kg1 Kd5, d4+ Kf5, Rf1+ Qf4, g4# So White sacrificed the queen in move 9, and then after this "chase", in move 24, after 15 moves without a queen (!) White can finally checkmate Black, it's one of the fanciest end of a match. :) However, I think no human can calculate that, only an AI can do this. :)
Sir, at the time 4.30, when black takes the promoted queen, white can mate by playing knight c 7 check. It is not just a piece more, it's a mate in one ! 4:30
Sir, at the time 4-30, when black takes the promoted queen, white can mate by knight c 7 check. White is not just a piece more, it's a mate in one move.
On your first example. My comp game does that to me for the opening pawns, (I am black). Then I attack the queen with my knight like you did, and the queen moves to G5. The I bring out my 2nd knight to attack it, and the queen moves to f4, and I move my queen pawn to D3 to attack the queen with my parked bishop. The the queen retreats to d6, me half way developed,---and it kicks my butt.
18:30 If king takes, then Rxb7 ? Then rook takes the bishop, knight takes the queen... Or maybe knight takes knight, if king takes knight then Qf3+, if pawn takes knight then Bxf6+ protected by the rook then king have to go to f6 or g6 then Qf3+ or Qg4+ Now, what if rook takes the knight on f7 ???
22:00 instead of Queen taking it possible to play Bishop to B4 letting white go C7 then move the king and if white take the Rock thats a mate with Bishop to D2. THOU thats very ez to stop with instead of Knight to C7 just blocking the Bishop with a pawn would give you big troubles. a GM would probably see that easily but still
What about Rook to B7? From there, there is an interesting check with Re7, covered by the Knight, that has to be taken by the Queen...that is then captured by the Knight.
@@maxhoden0303 I recently got a 750 who played this and i lost against him lol, I also hate early queen moves and so punishing the Scandinavian would be a great achievement since I know how to defend against the wayward and scholar's mate

In the black King''s Walk, are we sure that black will lose no matter what? Using the Knight to cover the square where the B3 pawn would deliver check mate is not a viable option ?
@@naethandavis4123 No,king can go to e3, after all trades,black is better,so after Nd5, Kf2 first, and c3 checkmate can't be prevented even Nd5 sacrifices itself in c3.
It is really you. Exactly like you sound on your original lessons. I decided to check this out because a lot of internet chess players chose this against 1.e4.
Sir, at 11-40 no need to sacrifice the queen, as no chance of mate. At 12-34 white has better take B x Q. No need to give a check by knight E 4. Because knight E 5 is already under threat by the king. If black takes B by rook, White can take Knight by Knight. Black rook will be in danger by knight. So, black takes knight. Now white can take Black's Bishop. If black takes Bishop by knight, White's Bishop and Knight are in danger. Save the knight by pawn. Now black can't take Bishop by knight because then knight into knight.. check and white gets the rook. Black's Bishop on D 1 is still not safe.
Because if the b.pawn(b7) takes w.pawn(c6) then the bishop will just eat the b.pawn and call for check. there is only 1 move black can do to protect the king and that is to use its queen as shield. after the bishop takes the queen, king must move to d8 because it cannot eat the bishop because of the horse.
They are all great lines. Very instructive. Your channel is simple, instructive and effective. I had a chance to play a game the very next time after watching your video in the Gioco-Piano where black plays Nf6 instead of Bc5. And after white plays Ng5, Nxe5. Eventually trapped the white Q and wound up a whole Q ahead. These are simple, crushing lines you show. Thanks again. The very next game I played. That was strange.
These traps are so amazing till I fail everyday to expert level computer chess but I continue to sturdy them because I first began playing chess in oknawa Japan in 1971 ,my teacher who knew these traps would beat me unmercifully and now in 2023, I can't believe I have actually found these secrets.Well I consider them to be secret because I simply haven't discovered them in all these eventhough I have beatened all my opponents except one, the teacher,a Marine by the last name Berg from California.Thank you and all the others for sharing these valuable secrets with me and payday I intend to purchase a chess library 🤣
Love the second trap in the video! But what if 8. Queen c5? Yes we can take the fork to king and take the rook, then we lose the bishop and have a useless knight in the enemy corner.

18:20 Rxe6 Kxe6 and now Nc7 double check!
Option 1: Ke5 Bf4+ Kxf4 Ne6+ royal fork winning the queen.
Option 2: Kf5 Qf3+ Kg6 Qg3+ Kf5 (Kh5 Qg5#) Qg5+ Ke4 Qf4#.
i was searching for traps as black, but the only thing this video showed me how white gets ideas on how to trap me :-(
lol
Well, it can also give you ideas for how to avoid those traps.
😂😂😂
It means that Scandinavian defense is giving benefits to white
As black D6 followed by c5 I win 55% of my games with black … 51 percent win with white 4% stalemate …. I need to learn how to be consistent with white
Thanks GM Smirnov !!!!
At 13:49
you say that Black cannot do anything against c3#,
but actually can play Nd5, and postpone the "end",
these are the suggestions of Stockfish, this ending is amazing
(both players play the best moves, if Black does not play like this, the checkmate comes sooner):
… Nd5, c3+ Nxc3, bxc3+ Ke3, 0-0 Nd4, Rfe1+ Ne2+,
Kf1 Qxg5, Rxe2+ Kxf4, Kg1 Kd5, d4+ Kf5, Rf1+ Qf4, g4#
So White sacrificed the queen in move 9,
and then after this "chase", in move 24,
after 15 moves without a queen (!) White can finally checkmate Black,
it's one of the fanciest end of a match. :)
However, I think no human can calculate that, only an AI can do this. :)
exactly what i thought. also Na4 would avoid the checkmate
Thanks for sharing this chess traps tactics
We are glad you liked it
6:04 what if black just castles?
You can take twice - winning a pawn, damaging Black's pawn structure and king's saftey and black is hopeless
I have seriously been addicted to your channel
I am binge watching videos like anything
Great work 🙏❤
Love from 🇮🇳
Awesome! Thank you!
you are one of the best at teaching , explaining difficult aspects in a clear view.
3:42 what if I bring my bishop in a4??
Thank you! Excellent content
There is this line as well that wins a Queen 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5 4.b4 Qxb4 5.Nb5 Qa5 6.Bc4 c6 7.Bxf7+ Kxf7 8.Qh5 g6 9.Nd6+ exd6 10.Qxa5
I am loving your opening traps series, this is great!
28:01 on the last trap. Why black doesn't push pawn d4 to d5? Many of these traps rely on the opponent playing the worst possible move.
Sir, at the time 4.30, when black takes the promoted queen, white can mate by playing knight c 7 check. It is not just a piece more, it's a mate in one ! 4:30

Think at 24:06 it's important to point out what happens after d5 immediately ...b5 is a tricky move to find.
I learned a lot. Thank you.

Free bishop
The last trap is insane sick!!
Excellent video great insight to the possibilities offered by the Scandinavian
6:41 why it would be a end game bcs black can escape that check and potentialy capture knight? Can someone explain?
100,000. !!!! Pat yourself on the back. !!! Not us. !!!! Congratulations!!!! 😁👍💕
What an excellent video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
How about @14:04, Na4, followed by Bb4, to counter c3.
Or even QxBg5 instead of Na4.
Wouldn't Black get out on top materially at the end.
i have the same question (QxBg5), could any one answer?
thank you so much for that first trap!
By far the most common response i get is Qe5 check. Not mentioned here unless i missed it.
Fantastic Opening tactics .
Pls make a vidd on how to defend reti opening......;!!!!
At 7:05 black can play Qc5 or Qd4 to escape. Then what would you do?
Thanks for this very nice vidéo! Can you tell me what happen for last trap if white doesn't play A3 but directly D5?
Bf5
Please translate in telugu
22:00 instead of Queen taking it possible to play Bishop to B4 letting white go C7 then move the king and if white take the Rock thats a mate with Bishop to D2.
THOU thats very ez to stop with instead of Knight to C7 just blocking the Bishop with a pawn would give you big troubles. a GM would probably see that easily but still
in nakamura's game i think Rock take on E6 and from there the king have to take and then u can chase the king with checks until its mate
You may also continue by double-checking the king by Kc7, and hence winning the rook back, i.e. you're up a bishop
What about Rook to B7? From there, there is an interesting check with Re7, covered by the Knight, that has to be taken by the Queen...that is then captured by the Knight.
I love your channel, thank you.
Fantastic material
Outstanding sir. Thank you
wish I got the Scandinavian more often, these look fun.
Every time I go e4 I ALWAYS get the Scandinavian that is why I am watching this video

Im a scandinavian opening user
@@thatnhoxiu You will not punish the scandinavian since it is a solid opening but you can trick your oponents

God Bless u GM Igor, im fr. D' Philippines.
At 14:51, why not Black Na4 to prevent mate?
It's mate no matter what after c3 Nxc3 bxc3 mate because the white night protects the pawn
very good work...keep up :)
Thanks a lot 😊
Hey GM, I just wanted to say thank you so much, I get so annoyed by getting pushed around by this and your videos have been soooo helpful 🙏🏼🙏🏼

No, because you deliver the check anywais Knight captures you recapture the pawn and king cant capture because your Knight also defends the pawn
20:11 B-a5 wins B's queen for two minor pieces which is not as good as winning a whole rook but hey, won queen!
Thanks Igor for sharing great traps. for some reason, can not download the PGN of these traps from the blog-post URL link
Thanks for pointing it out. We will check out the problem and correct the link in our description.

1:c3+
Nxc3
2:bxc3#

....Qxg5 Ke2. if ...Qh5 ch Bxh5, followed by unstoppable Pc3

How can I get Igor Smirnov old course for free?
Show the traps to beat stockfish 10
Can u please analyze if white plays d5 directly instead if A3 ataquing the knight? It's one of the last traps where the white queen gets trapped.
New fan here... 😀🥰
Perfect
Can you post the simborskie attack
How did knight to c7 win the game at 7:11 if there are ways for the king to still move out of its way.
It's winning the black queen and that's a big advantage

Knight B5 can give a check and game over
4:46 checkmate with nc7#
Man you’re a beast
24:06just push the pawn
I wondered about that too. Can black then play Bf5, and if white takes the knight with his d pawn, black plays Nc2+, followed by Qd4#?
Sorry, I meant Qd3#.
After black played bf5, white should play Na3
Looks good. We need Igor to reply!
24.06
What if white plays Pawn to d5 instead of pawn a3
Sir very good trap please write mathematically written please sir
Rxe6 exposing the bishop indirectly to the king
Excellent video🌹👌👌👌👌👌🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳👌
Love the second trap in the video! But what if 8. Queen c5? Yes we can take the fork to king and take the rook, then we lose the bishop and have a useless knight in the enemy corner.
It could be useful in the endgame
I don't know if I can remember all the traps. But it helps to see how to think.
Today i am having a tournament with gm/im and just trying to learn some traps
Great job! Love it!!
Thx I will use this to win
I would rather give a check on e6 after knight c3. Please cover this variation as well
24:28 (Qd1 and white wins )!
