Dear GM Your explanation of the opening was very clear. I also often use that aggressive opening, but often can't judge my opponent's missteps, so I can't necessarily punish him with the right moves. I realized the opponent's step was not quite right after two steps had passed so the position remained balanced. If you don't mind, I'd like to know more details about the opening of Caro Cann,. Is it good for white? Thank you a lot. Best regards. Irawan
hi Igor, what I like in your videos is that all those positions happen in my real online blitz and bullet games quite regularly. I mean, there are other guys teaching traps in openings, but their tricks happen very rarely because you cannot force your opponent to do several initial moves

Hi! I enjoy watching your videos! I’m a blind chess player! Is there a way you could be more descriptive when talking about the moves you are playing? I was just wondering because it would make it easier for me to follow the video.
I thought the normal line for black, was indeed to take on c3 with the bishop, but to play Qf6 after. No mention of this standard idea, in John Emms book. Otherwise a very good video. Thxs. 👍
Amazing!!! I keep on watching all your videos. i hope you make petroff damiano gambit for black, so many traps too, but not so many video materials made so far.
4...d5. 13...Kf8. 16...Qc6. The trap after 16...Nd2? has been known since Ribli-Imre, HUN 1968. When I used to play this gambit I preferred the move order 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 dxc3 (d5) 4.Nxc3 Nc6 5.Nf3.
Wow, I tried it out on a higher rated person and this worked despite they pinned my queen knight on the 5th move. It was a hard battle and they fought to end on defend, and succumbed to all my attacks. I'll have to try it on the 2k players next. Do you have a recommendation for a black's opening dominance like this? I never was one for sacking pieces for gain of momentum. I'm going to have to change that point of view. Thanks for this awesome tip!
Igor, there is one giant flaw to your preparation to defeat Magnus. Since he undoubtedly gets all his opening preparation from watching your videos, he will see this one and prepare a response.
Hi Igor, what do you recommend if black doesn’t accept white’s second pawn sacrifice and instead moves pawn to d6 before whit’s opening foundation for this gambit has been established?
I love your videos but in 2:35 black can actully go to f3 with his knight and check white and it could ruin white pawn structure, after that bishop to d6 to prevent the fork, so I think it is better for black than white
Sir your videos are great it helps me to gain 2000 ratings in lichess but how I can gain 2000 to 2300. Can you make a video on what have to do after getting 2000 ratings and how to improve more. And a opening video on Catalan. And Thanks for sharing these cool videos.
Hi Igor it's Pam Huett again. I hope you and your family are doing well. I just have one thing to tell you about what a lot of people play against me as soon as my knight goes to f3 and bishop to c4. I get hit with h6 so I was wondering how someone should deal with it.
Sure the people want to avoid the fried liver attack. But in those cases you often can go Ne5 instead of Ng5. best idea is to play d4. 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 h6 4. d4
Are there transpositions into this gambit from the bishop's opening? I don't really see a clear way to try it On a side note, stuff like this is why I don't play e5 on move 1, at least in fast time controls. It's really easy to lose playing normal moves, and if you make it out usually you're up, like, one pawn. That's it. And only if you didn't have to give it back, to say nothing of having to give it back with interest.
Maybe it's because I'm so new to the game... but I have so much trouble seeing pins in game... when I watch these videos I sometimes have to pause and ask why not just take the queen with the pawn, then I see the pin. But I can't see the well enough to set them up. I've been doing a lot of puzzles on Lichess... I'm confused about what the want in half of them. Any recommendations on improving in this area?
Just do more puzzles. On the pin front, most of the time, the pin is caused by a Bishop attacking a piece. Always check that there's nothing of higher value behind the piece being attacked. Also, NEVER line up your king & Queen on the same diagonal & beware doing the same with your queen & a Rook 👍
It cannot be said that Gambit is used in Russia For example, look at the 2021 World Chess Championship Nepo had 4 starts on Lopez out of 6 games (68 percent).
Magnus Carlsen could hope white over reaches at the end after 1)Qxg7 Nd2 2) QxR ch Kd7 3)RxNch? kc7 whites attack is out and he must give up his Queen to stop mate on e1
Yeah learn the various Gambits like opponents are always fools and you will be the next GM in waiting. Learning chess is to learn the art of defense and offense.
