the answer to the puzzle at the end is Qh5 for anyone wondering. The reason is that the king will be forced to move to d8 and when it does, you can play ba5 pinning the queen to the king and winning it, and the queen cannot capture because the queen on h5 will take black queen that just took the bishop. if black tries to play g6 to misplace the queen so that it wouldn't protect a5, you can simply play bxg6 forcing the king to move anyway, then play ba5 again and win the queen
Another great video thanks Vlad. There's also this variation (much more rarer) White to open: Nf3, d5, e4, dxe4, Ng5, Qd5, d3, exd3, Bxd3, Qxg2 (falling for the trap) Be4 (1-0)
Puzzle solution: Qh5+, If opponent plays Kd8 you play Ba5 (protected by the Queen) and you win opponents queen. If they block the check with the pawn, you take if with your light squared bishop, forcing Kd8 where you play Ba5 again and win opponents queen.
In trap 1 I rarely see h6, most opponents seem to develop their knight, which usually prevents the attack. I love these strats but so rarely do they line up.
I’ve been watching so many chess video lately from other RUclipsrs to improve my game, and I’m very glad that I found yours. I don’t need to watch or search for anything else. There’s lot more to grasp from your lessons. Thanks for making these helpful videos.
Trap3 doesn't give you massive advantage with so many pieces being sacrificed. I mean getting the Queen itself gives you only +2. If they don't take the knight, you end up giving them +1. The way you present it, it's a winner. However, in my opinion, you shouldn't get too excited about it, even if it works
Clearly, 1. Qh5+ ... and 2. Ba5 (pinning Black's Q against the K/d8) wins. If Black tries 1 ... g6, then Bg6+! (but NOT Qg6? - losing control of a5) completes the trap.
Qh5 check, if g6 then Bxg6 check, Kd8 is forced, Ba5 pinning the Queen to the trapped King taking the queen on the next move. if they play Kd8 immediately than you skip ahead to Ba5 pinning the queen. either way Bxb6 winning the Queen for a Bishop.
0:25 White knight 2:30Black king 4:36 Black (white queen) 5:50 white queen 8:43 white king (black cicilian) 10:16 white knight (black queen) 11:46 black queen (white Queen) 13:37 black king (white queen) 15:51 black Knight (white queen)
Thanks Igor, this one is quite repeatable. The new word for crushing (for me) is disgusting, trap #1 is thoroughly disgusting and a keeper. I'm loving this channel, looking forward to taking your opening and middle game courses soon.
That’s so slick I hope I get a chance to pull that move off I know I have to watch a couple of your videos several times to absorb all the tips you give got to get that Queen 🤩
I did save this video to check it out again it’s worthwhile I love those bishops moves forcing king out to be able to get the Queen of course you make it seem easy but it’s fun watching if only I’m able to pull it off in a game
Flaw spotted 13:10 After moving the pawn out of whites way and promoting to a knight, the white king can now retreat back to its original square instead of taking it with rook, completely mooting the attack and freeing his queen. As opposed to promoting to queen where he cannot do this since he cant afford to leave the new queen uncaptured
2:32 last game I did first few steps exactly as your opponnent here and guy who played against me seemed like he watched this video. Luckily for me I watched it too and evaded check mate by moving one pawn and creating space for king to move away from check. He blundered and lost queen and i won
Do a video with Chess Titans Level 4. I want to see what you do when it decides not to cooperate & all these fancy tactics begin to fall apart! How do you still win without playing hope chess, just hoping to win?
These traps work in small percentage of real world games, unless you know what the opponent's going to do next. Would love to have more diversified variations.
puzzle= move queen to h5 to give check then the king moves to d8 then move black square bishop to A5 then the queen is traped now the game is end then you can win by capturing the queen
thanks so much for this video, i tried it once on a 1100 to see how it would work, and i won the queen an entirely different way! he resigned after 13 moves
5:34 I actually discovered this trap by accident one day when I was playing chess, I pre moved the knight and that actually happend, I sat there a minute then I found the bishop sacrifice and did this trap.
And what if 4... Bg4 ? 5. Qd2 Pxd3 then resume the main line 6. Bxd3 Pe6 7. Nf7 Kxf7 resume 8. Bg6+? Pxg6 9. QxQ Bb4+ threatening black queen unless sacrifice with 10. Qd2. And black has developed three minor pieces (both bishops, one kingside knight) to our queen only. What's the counter to 4....Bg4?
In trap #2, the Italian game. I’ve played the black opening moves(...Qg5) then it was Bf7+ and completely fouled up the rest of the game. Is there a queen trap continuation that I’m not finding if Bishop takes f7 over the knight?
11:25 and if he blocks your queen exit with bishop what do we do? we take bishop and get eaten by a knight? so we just traded queens (im not trying to be smart, i got into chess few days ago and im trying to learn)
Y'know with the first trick there, the Tension gambit, believe it or not, of all the times I tried it, I've never had anyone defend the pawn with the knight f6. My opponents always first move the h pawn first (h6) or they simply don't accept the gambit at all. I think I'm going to quit doing the Tension gambit, since nobody I've been playing is moving there knight. I guess I will do the other 9 openings.
put the check with Queen & then black king moves. Now bring Dark square Bishop to grab queen; which is pinned to king. Our bishop has support of queen.
On trap 7 at 13:15, when the pawn is promoted to a knight, wouldn't most players notice the attack on the king and queen with the bishop and simply return the king to its home square? It would then be hard to save the new knight.
Maybe, but the next move can win a rook cuz when you check with your queen the opponent should protect the king with the pawn (you get the rook), if the king move forward (you get the queen), if the king move to the front of the queen ( you can protect the knight or likely made more chance to winning the game)
promoting the pawn to a queen would make more sense. It's more brutish but leaves your opponent with no counterplay (2 queens vs 1 or no queen vs 1 queen)
I have a friend that I play who always wants to play black and usually opens with his pawn to e6 or d6 sometimes b6 then brings out the queen almost immediately and starts attacking me. Can you post a video on how to play agianst that.
If you are still wondering, there's a line where after Bf5, Nc3, Nf6, Qe2, Qd4,Qb5+(also attacking the bishop and the pawn at b7), Bd7,Qxb7, here you are about to win a rook, if the opponent go Bc6, you can go Qc8#. Now if after Qb5+, the opponent blocks with Qd7, Qxb7 still threatens to win a rook but after Qc6, you can't mate on c8 anymore because it is covered by the bishop, instead you can go Bb5, pinning the queen and the king.
Your ideas are entertaining but there's something wrong with your stats. I've never seen someone making moves the way you assume they should, which makes it impractical
I came up with a cool Scandinavian trap first go e4 enemy goes d5 you go d3 opponent takes your d3 pawn. Then you take that d3 pawn.then your opponent goes nf6 attack your pawn but then you go bishop to c4 then knight takes your e4 pawn but then you unleash the devastating bf7. Hope you can win games with this!

@@KenFullman I covered this line in my explanation I don't know why you decided to point this out after I already did
This is the kind of vision I strive to achieve
Another great video thanks Vlad. There's also this variation (much more rarer) White to open: Nf3, d5, e4, dxe4, Ng5, Qd5, d3, exd3, Bxd3, Qxg2 (falling for the trap) Be4 (1-0)
Thank you for the valuable add-on!
20:16 Qh5, (g6, Bxg6,) Kd8, Ba5 pinning the Black Queen
Yes, it's another Q trap.
Puzzle solution: Qh5+, If opponent plays Kd8 you play Ba5 (protected by the Queen) and you win opponents queen. If they block the check with the pawn, you take if with your light squared bishop, forcing Kd8 where you play Ba5 again and win opponents queen.

Glad to hear it!
The puzzle answer is Qh5+.After Kd8, you play Ba5 to pinning the queen to the king and we achieved our goal, winning a queen.
It can simply be avoided by pushing the pawn and attacking the queen
@@ronnie_17 but then you take it with Bg6+ so that's not an option for black
@@ronnie_17 light squared bishop takes the pawn
You've won the queen. But white bishop to g6 is checkmate.
no Qxa5
I love these trappy openings, always leads to interesting games for me. Rarely do they work but people take weird lines and the positions are wild
wow! I have found it... Q check, B check and the black Q is trapped. Amazing stuff on this channel for my lvl. Buhaha on the liches. BIG THX
Solution to the Puzzle: Qh5+ Kd8 Ba5! and if g6 then Bxg6+ Kd8 Ba5
correct
Cool man i totally understand
Ur reply is so high level shit 😊
I wish i could give you a thousand likes. This is simply amazing. You're the best chess teacher out there!
Wow, thanks!

Thank you so much Igor. You are the clearest, friendliest and smartest chess tutor on RUclips.
imo the evaluation in trap 8 is relatively equal (a knight, bishop + rook for a queen is fair and the whole black’s queen side is wide open)
Clearly, 1. Qh5+ ... and 2. Ba5 (pinning Black's Q against the K/d8) wins. If Black tries 1 ... g6, then Bg6+! (but NOT Qg6? - losing control of a5) completes the trap.
Qh5 check, if g6 then Bxg6 check, Kd8 is forced, Ba5 pinning the Queen to the trapped King taking the queen on the next move. if they play Kd8 immediately than you skip ahead to Ba5 pinning the queen. either way Bxb6 winning the Queen for a Bishop.
Puzzle: Qh5+ Kd8, Ba5 forking black queen and king

Sir, please upload for

Really good video. Amazing tricks. Everyone needs to watch again and again these fantastic traps.
I love the comment he makes at @18:05 I learn so much watching this man!

1)Qh5+
2)Kd8
3)Ba5
Great video! It helps me a lot
Thanks a lot you post all this for free
You're the real GOAT. I really admire you pal❤
1) 4 INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC MISSILES LAUNCHED 2) If blocking with the king was legal

Thanks, now i know all of the traps so i can counter it

I think my smartphone has already watched this video as it falls for none of these traps!
😂
white: Queen>H5
Black:King>D1
white:Bishop(D2)>A5
Black:Queen takes Bishop on A5
White: Queen takes Black Queen on A5
Really all opening are very good lot of thanks.
In #8 you do trap the queen, but the price is high and your queenside is demolished. I would definitely fight on.
Very good tactics video.
Excellent. Very amusing presentation as well. Thanks 🙂.
Glad you enjoyed it!
puzzle= move queen to h5 to give check then the king moves to d8 then move black square bishop to A5 then the queen is traped now the game is end then you can win by capturing the queen
Well done!
I have really learned something
U r a good class teacher❤
thanks so much for this video, i tried it once on a 1100 to see how it would work, and i won the queen an entirely different way! he resigned after 13 moves
Fantastic!
Also nice vid that’s what inspired my idea
I'm glad it was helpful!
Hi Igor, I am not sure if you are aware that 5 months ago Stockfish copied this video entirely on his youtube chanel, with no mention about source!
Queen d5 check then king moves side way then pinning the queen by dark squared bishup
5:34 I actually discovered this trap by accident one day when I was playing chess, I pre moved the knight and that actually happend, I sat there a minute then I found the bishop sacrifice and did this trap.
got it 1:Qh5+ if g6 Bxg6 then Kd8 then 2:Ba5 wins the Queen
Thank you brother 🙏🙏
Interesting demonstration
1.Qh5+,kd8
2.Ba5
Solution to puzzle: Qh5 ch. If ... Kd8, Ba5 pins the queen, and if ... g6, Bxg6 ch Kd8 Ba5 with the same result.
1:30 yeah, I usually try to avoid letting my opponent keep their knight near that fork
And what if 4... Bg4 ? 5. Qd2 Pxd3 then resume the main line 6. Bxd3 Pe6 7. Nf7 Kxf7 resume 8. Bg6+? Pxg6 9. QxQ Bb4+ threatening black queen unless sacrifice with 10. Qd2. And black has developed three minor pieces (both bishops, one kingside knight) to our queen only. What's the counter to 4....Bg4?
In trap #2, the Italian game. I’ve played the black opening moves(...Qg5) then it was Bf7+ and completely fouled up the rest of the game. Is there a queen trap continuation that I’m not finding if Bishop takes f7 over the knight?
Following
Thats amazing bro..
11:25 and if he blocks your queen exit with bishop what do we do? we take bishop and get eaten by a knight? so we just traded queens (im not trying to be smart, i got into chess few days ago and im trying to learn)
In the last method instead of moving the queen 19:38 , black can up his pawn to a6
Thanks man.
Very much interesting and motivational
Glad you think so!
gracias máquina!
Qh5+, g6, Bxg6+, Kd8, Ba5!
Dude these are freaking amazing🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:07 after d3, what do you do if black plays h6?
Y'know with the first trick there, the Tension gambit, believe it or not, of all the times I tried it, I've never had anyone defend the pawn with the knight f6. My opponents always first move the h pawn first (h6) or they simply don't accept the gambit at all. I think I'm going to quit doing the Tension gambit, since nobody I've been playing is moving there knight. I guess I will do the other 9 openings.
The best! :) Thanks! :)
Wow! Im an amateur 1200
And I can't stop smiling while watching this video!!!
Thanks again! Keep it up.
I'm glad you liked it!
In that position, try white to move (c2xd3)
Most of the trap are from Bxf2+ or Bxf7+! Super cool
Indeed, this tactics can be used in various openings, which is great for us! 🔥
I just used the trap#2. He didn’t fully fall for it, but I still took his rook. Won the game, but dude gave me hell till the very end.
Excellent technique love it 💖
😊
In trap 7 i think its better to promote to queen coz if knight gives check king can just go back to e1
Qh5+,g6,bxg6+,kd8 forced,ba5 winning the queen
You r the best youtuber of chess
put the check with Queen & then black king moves. Now bring Dark square Bishop to grab queen; which is pinned to king. Our bishop has support of queen.
Wowwww I'm always enjoying watching your videos I'm always excited to try them out❤️

8. Ke1 Qh4+ 9. g3 Qe4+ 10. Be2 Qxh1
Nets you at least a rook, in most cases.
promoting the pawn to a queen would make more sense. It's more brutish but leaves your opponent with no counterplay (2 queens vs 1 or no queen vs 1 queen)
JK he can trade queens
Please can you record a video on how to beat the Ruy Lopez?
Here you are: ruclips.net/video/_3aYyDUi0Uc/видео.html
Thank you!
is the trap 1 called the intercontinetal ballistic missile gambit
Knight and bishop, exchange with a queen, is it good?
I honestly find it terrifying how many ways you can destroy your opponent so fast in chess, anyone else feel that way?
I have a friend that I play who always wants to play black and usually opens with his pawn to e6 or d6 sometimes b6 then brings out the queen almost immediately and starts attacking me. Can you post a video on how to play agianst that.
Qh5 then Ba5 you will end up winning a queen in the next move.
True
Some fun strategies here! Question about the Tennison Gambit: at 0:55 what if instead of 3 ...Nf6, black plays Bf5?
If you are still wondering, there's a line where after Bf5, Nc3, Nf6, Qe2, Qd4,Qb5+(also attacking the bishop and the pawn at b7), Bd7,Qxb7, here you are about to win a rook, if the opponent go Bc6, you can go Qc8#.
Now if after Qb5+, the opponent blocks with Qd7, Qxb7 still threatens to win a rook but after Qc6, you can't mate on c8 anymore because it is covered by the bishop, instead you can go Bb5, pinning the queen and the king.
Good video👊
All this is absolutely brilliant...but I find it's having the nerve to actually undertake the moves !!
I've used the first trick so mamy times. It always worked.
👍
Your ideas are entertaining but there's something wrong with your stats. I've never seen someone making moves the way you assume they should, which makes it impractical
I use a Lichess database which should be reliable. Of course, it's hard to predict the moves of your opponent in a particular game though.
Hey, could you make a video where to cover best lines for both in North or Danish Gambit?
This one could be helpful: ruclips.net/video/jIZ8GzOzb1U/видео.html
8:22 how should i continue with white ? Thanks guys
I came up with a cool Scandinavian trap first go e4 enemy goes d5 you go d3 opponent takes your d3 pawn. Then you take that d3 pawn.then your opponent goes nf6 attack your pawn but then you go bishop to c4 then knight takes your e4 pawn but then you unleash the devastating bf7. Hope you can win games with this!
If you want to win even more material and if the king stays in the same place go Qd5 which forks the knight
It’s also kind of a risk because they could trade queens then take the pawn but sacrifices must be made
very nice video all traps in one video...check 07:10 time stamp looks incorrect!
