My favorite opening during state level competitions (till 1990). There were no engines & I had to go through books. I hardly lost any game in this opening. So players used to go for Sicilian or other passive openings. But in this video I really watched a thorough research! Thanks.
@8:45 you are suggesting that move Bd3. I've had great success with it. Like you said if h6 they have no compensation for the pawn. Nd5 b3 will open the line for the bishop. After you castle you will gett a chance to go after the d4 square.
In addition, can you ask, regarding the start of Italy, if the black side dispatches his queen too early (there are several cases of the black queen dispatching too early), how will the white side deal with it? Can you issue a technical explanation video on the white side punishing the black side for dispatching the queen too early? Thanks!
@@Volclus very nice, cheers. i know it isn't a big deal to most people, but to some of us it makes or breaks watching experience. if you want to go hardcore on it, i recommend using Izotope Ozone plugin, it will have all in one presets that smooth out voice overs. you just drop it on to the audio track before exporting, choose a preset and you're done
After Bh3 white has Qf3 defending, Then my phone actually suggests best moves to be Qxg3, Qxg3, Bxg3 (black sacrifices bishop), but it's not human way If instead, black play Be3 (back to defend Knight (which is now attacked by queen), and checkmate then: White can play Bc6 (forking both rook and knight) After e4, Qxe4, Rb8, d3 the game goes on with ±3 advantage, notice how black queen has to stay on 5th rank to protect knight, we have g4 ideas distracting her If instead Rb8, then white just takes Knight Please note that I was using engine on low power, so suggested moves may not be the best
AT 10:06, white has virtually zero development, whilst white has many pieces developed. Yet you say the opposite. Why not state the truth about the positions?
Yes, in the moment there's not much development. Thing is, we are still better since we're up a pawn, and I show how we will develop our pieces. Think of it like playing against a gambit. In the moment, we have less development and our position is a bit difficult, but we are up a pawn and we will end up developing our pieces and consolidating the advantage as the game goes on.
@@Volclus after pawn d4. Black plays c6 to support his knight and white plays d4 attacking the black e5 pawn in front of the black king. Question is what if black dznt take the d4 pawn but plays pawn b5 to attack the bishop.
The traxler should not be underestimated. It is very poisonous even at 2000 level. You'll spend a lot of time finding engine moves and white ends up drawing if he's lucky 😂. It should be losing in theory though 💀
Fried Liver is super idiotic unless opponent is new to chess, Return of favor using Bishop to F2 is nightmare for black at any level. And you escape out by saying not qualified to discuss complications.
@@Volclus Counter attacks are pretty bad to defend. Most ppl (novices) playing Fried liver are happy with rook and never go beyond that. It is an attack on king is what they forget. Ppl who dont learn basics of positional play will never succeed in chess. Gambits are not substitutes to quick win. I doubt these tactics will work beyond a 600 rating successfully. And scholars mate too, only a novice will fall victim. It can result in a bad counter attack too. It will be interesting to see how many watched the video, played an attack and won / lost.
Dude. I show in the video to not capture on f7 with the knight because it is bad. That is why I suggest to instead take with the bishop, and then after I show some more ideas, white is just a pawn up and black has little compensation.
@@Volclus I am not a dude and not interested arguing. If you would like to quote perhaps you should study Carlsen Vs Wesley So 2021 game where Wesley with white performed a fried liver and Carlsen with black decides to use pawn d5 which is unusual as gms usually bring bishop to stage a violent counter attack. It was carlsen, he could do anything he wants and still win. Black won and usually in fried liver it is easy for black to win since development is inhibited for white.
@buddy, pawn d5 is the main line. What you mean “uncommon.” The traxler counterattack is objectively dubious for black and beatable with prep, which Grandmasters have. This is why it only works in casual play. Homies just salty cuz hes losing to fried liver shenanigans
