🔹 How to PUNISH Bg5 Pin on Your Knight? [Common Opening Mistake] - • How to PUNISH Bg5 Pin ...
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov will teach you how to deal with the annoying pins on your knights when your opponents play Bg4 or Bg5. This is one of the most common chess opening mistakes that amateurs make. One should know how to deal with or punish this pin.
Very often, chess players feel uncomfortable with this pin and they don't know how to deal with it. As a result, they play passively by putting their bishop behind the knight to unpin it, such as Be2 or Be7, which is the worst reaction to an opponent trying to pin your knight.
There are a lot more aggressive and better ways to deal with this annoying pin. You will learn 4 ways how to punish this Bg5/Bg4 pin on your knight. You will learn how to tactically punish it by checkmating your opponent's king or winning the bishop that pins, and also strategically punishing your opponent by damaging their pawn structures or exploiting their queenside.

A bishop is a bit stronger than a knight. Such an exchange favors you, you'll obtain the positional advantage, and you don't have to worry about the pin anymore.

@sarat8124 Год назад

Yes because that knight is actually very dangerous at the beginning of the game as it can fork both queen and rook at the right position And new players don't know how to deal with it so they choose to trade Pretty dumb

@stevenboelke6661 Год назад

At low levels the best thing to do is usually ignore it and recapture with the queen if they decide to take. If you allow further attacks against that knight or move the queen away, you'd face issues with this idea though.

@gingeral253 Год назад

Maybe it’s because I’m not part of the target audience, but the moves that he suggests are obvious moves or at least common ideas that I already know. The supporting lines also depend too heavily on the opponent making a mistake. I think he should talk more about more general ideas which helps you in a maneuvering game that can be explained through the moves, rather than giving lines that can be avoided.

@GMIgorSmirnov Год назад

Perhaps you're a more advanced level player. I usually show the most common variations on beginner-intermediate level which applies to the majority of players.

@fernandoschmidt200 Год назад

He omits some obvious defenses for several of this positions

@KevinB65 Год назад

1:09 Or alternatively black plays e6 after Bc4 and the position is even and both sides play on. These are nice tactics that might catch 1200s and the occasional 1400 who isn’t paying attention, so I think that it’s key to know your opponent and their relative skill level, and while simple tactics like these are helpful to know, they generally don’t see actual play at more competitive levels.

@ddubsr5886 Год назад

Great video. At 7:00 what if they move the knight out instead of the pawn so the queen protects the rook

@J-Swan 2 месяца назад

Great video! Thank you. Your lessons look very appealing. I find I spend more time on defense than I do on offense- is this typical of novice players? At a high level like yourself, do you feel your victories are more offense or defense? I have much more fun when being aggressive, but I win more often when being defensive, unless playing a less skilled player. Is primarily playing defense a sign of a bad player? I sadly feel it might be. Lastly, is pattern chess boring to you? I find I play dumb openings sometimes just to break their patterns- which yields a more interesting game for me, but usually also leads to less victories. Have you ever chosen odd positions for fun over patterns for success? Perhaps at your level it's more about success than fun. Is success the only thing that brings satisfaction at your level since you've likely seen it all before?

I always just push a pawn to force the bishop to take a piece or go away fast, and people never seem to do one or the other. I feel more willing to trade a knight for a bishop so it works with me

@theclimbto1 Год назад

0:40 in. So I tend to Rook Pawn to H2 here. Because if he takes my Knight I have the option of G Pawn capture or Queen Capture, and having the Queen open to 2 Diags can be something you don't want to face early. So if he pins the Knight, by all means... let's trade. Especially since, generally, late game Bishops carry more value... so if I can trade 3 Points for 3.25 Points... as long as I'm good without Knights, that's advantage me. So now that my two options are given, which are probably horrible since I'm in that 800-900 ELO Range... let's see what this smart man has to teach me. :D

@clivethereddevil3178 Год назад

after ...g5 a good attempt to mcx it up is Nxg5 hxg5 then Bxg5 and the knight pin can be annoying,as well as the king being stuck in the centre. Black is forced to play ...Be6 then white plays h4.
