I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your amazing masterclass. Because of your teachings, I was able to draw with an IM, and that’s such a huge milestone for me! Your content has inspired me so much, and I’m currently at 1600, with my eyes set on 2000. Your guidance has given me the hope and confidence to keep going. I can’t express enough how much it means to me. Keep doing what you’re doing - you’re making a real difference! Thank you again!
I'm rated close to 1400. Played black in trap 10 yesterday against slightly better opponent and won. I neutralized the pin with the bishop on d7 first instead of taking the pawn.
I'm a beginner but at the end of Trap 4 when black covers with the pawn, I don't see how white wins. The video shows the white pawn e5 appearing to move to d6 and the black pawn on d5 disappearing which would open the channel from the Queen to the King for checkmate, but I don't see how that happens.
Thank you very much sir for the video. I feel very happy whenever I see you video. You are the greatest coach in the world. Thanks to God I am lucky enough to have a coach like you
The Ponziani is refuted with 4. d5 which gives Black the advantage. White soon faces an unpleasant choice to allow dxe4 or to allow Black to activate their queen, since Bd3 is absolutely stupid. If Qe2, Black can simply play normally and be better, since the d-pawn cannot be captured.

13:19 "Horse-Power" GM Igor, U do great work.
I really wanted to join your master class but I cannot afford. 😢
I swear every time I try Igor suggestions, it's like my opponents know and never play the lines he said.
I have been playing quite awhile, but never heard of the Ponziani. Learn something new every day. 😎

That's incredible! Congratulations on your draw against an IM.
The worst part of the video is many other players also watched this video😅
Competition is the challenge(we don't want push-overs).
honestly just play d5 instead of any of the other lines.
In the bishops opening vianna hybrid what if the opponent castles long?
thanks i'll be sure to play this opening in my next game

I love chess strategy counting on opponents errors
15:18 Excuse me... What if Black Qe7 offering exchange? Black has better position for end game...
Woah! This is too good. Thanks for all you do
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thx
3:33 they can just take your bishop instead of recapturing your knight

@@GMIgorSmirnov Funny, "good things come to those who bait".
I think we should make a "new" chess where the king is already castled or at least not in the center. No army would approach with their king exposed
Chess 960. .or Freestyle Chess. You should give it a try ; Magnus feels it is the future of our game 🎯...
1:54 What if King goes to g6
The Ponziani is refuted with 4. d5 which gives Black the advantage. White soon faces an unpleasant choice to allow dxe4 or to allow Black to activate their queen, since Bd3 is absolutely stupid. If Qe2, Black can simply play normally and be better, since the d-pawn cannot be captured.
While Qa4 is OK, Black does not have to walk into the trap and can just play a solid reply.
I came under 1 minute and yes I am a bot
