Puzzle solution is Bd3 Queen is trapped. If it moves away, there is mate in 1 on h7. They can grab the rook but you will still win the queen in the next few moves.
► Chapters 00:00 Schliemann Defense Against the Ruy Lopez Opening 00:29 3...f5 is more aggressive than you think! 01:47 1) If White plays 4.exf5 (mistake by White) 03:33 White loses in just 7 moves! 05:03 2) If White plays 4.Bxc6 and 5.Nxe5 07:28 3) If White plays 4.d3 09:25 Black's plan of kingside attack 10:44 Puzzle of the day: Can you find the winning move?
I think there is Qxh1 after that in which after the king moves, black can take the rook on a1, sacrifice the queen, and get two rooks for a queen. After bishop takes, then black can play Bg7 right?
@@GreatestClips00 You said that there is Qxh1+ then the king moves to d2 or e2, black then can take the rook on a1; however, white does not have to take the queen on a1. White can simply move the bishop to h7 for mate.
@@GreatestClips00 That one doesn't really change much. Qxh1+ is just prolonging the inevitable. The queen can't protect the h7 square from there to protect against checkmate. So "the best" defense for black is to give up the queen for the bishop. But that should still be winning.
Hello Igor. I would love for you to make a video going over a weapon against the Sicilian defense after 1.e4 C5 2.Nf3 e6. Love your videos keep it up! 👍
The simplest way is 3.c3 to avoid the trendy variations. You can transfer the opening to the Alapin or Delayed Alapin Sicilian, to the Advanced French or the Tarrasch French, possibly to the Kings Indian Attack depending on your favourite opening method.
Not completely losing the queen. You take the h rook with check then move the f pawn to temporarily save the game. Your queen will be taken by the other rook though but still playable if blitz or something. Since all other black pieces are underdeveloped it will most likely still lose the game.
@@abysswatcher4907 The queen being taken by the other rook is completely losing the queen. There are other scenarios but unless white blunders black will either lose their queen or get checkmated.
@@tykemorris Sorry if I worded poorly, but my interpretation of losing a piece is it is being taken by something else and you can't reclaim it. This is a forced exchange between queen and a minor piece (rook or bishop) and it's important to note the material difference before deciding. For example, exchanging a queen with a rook and bishop might not be losing in many scenarios and such an exchange could even be advantageous. If your definition of losing a piece is making an unwilling but necessary exchange, then of course I agree with you. I'm merely pointing out other ways for black to desperately save the game.
@@abysswatcher4907 You're good. Actually I was thinking later about what you said and wondered if by "losing completely" you meant losing without any compensation. I think we are all 3 meaning the same thing.
Loved this video Igor! I'll definitely try this against the Ruy Lopez as I dislike the slow, manoeuvring and positional structures it normaly ends up in.
Great vidéo !!! Despite it's already my favourite opening against the Ruy lopez, in only 11 minutes it teached me 2 cases letting Qh5 happen (as a trap) and then Kd8 (when it's not anoying) instead of playing the profilactic move Nf6 (that can loose some innitiative). Very usefull. I hope (and bet) that it's not the last video about Schliemann Gambit ;-)
Bd3. Threaten Queen and Bh2# after Qxh1+ play Kd2 to prevent Rxe3+ which may allow black to draw or simplify. Black cannot save his queen and prevent mate from Bh2# in one move, therefore winning material.
I think the solution is Qc3, if Qxh1 then Kd2 and black can't defend against Qh8# or they're gonna lose their queen, anyway, thank you so much for this video GM Igor !
Qc3 doesn't work because Qxh1 would not be black's response. Black would go Re5 blocking mate. It would allow white to save a rook, but white loses all positional advantages and remains disadvantaged by piece count. The better move by white is Bd3 threatening mate.
@@user-sw4kd5rj1c Line I posted (Tartakower variation with 5...Nf6, a textbook move) is what Stockfish says is best for black, since 5...d5 is a mistake and not recommended. After Knights are exchanged, 6. Nxf6 Qxf6 7.0-0 Be2 8.Re1 0-0 and black is just fine.
In the Rousseau gambit accepted, after you advance your pawn, white can play Knight d4, and its a killer if you take it because of Qh5+ (plus bishop). So I never take that knight. Is this the same with the Schliemann defense? Will I be doomed if I take the knight of the apocalypse?
Very Nice 🎉 would be very glad if you made a continuation of this video about the remaining moves after f5: Nc3,d4, O-O. In little bit higher rating they allready correspong to 30% of the games.
Well, Igor, what about my question about russo gambit. What if attacked white knight doesnt escape to the 1 line but go to d4 immidietely. if you take with your knight, white moves the queen and attacs your king and its all over.
I have always found the Schliemann to be very interesting & dynamic. Top players seem to prefer being safe by choosing 4.d3, otherwise if 4. Nc3?!, the position can get very wild if black plays 4..Nd4! (instead of fxe). It might appear that white has a great attack, and can chase the black king to the queenside, but black can still survive, as in this amazing draw: e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 f5! Nc3?! Nd4! exf5 c6 Nxd4 exd4 Qh5 ch Ke7 0-0 dxc3 dxc3 Nf6 Re1 ch Kd6 Bf4 ch Kc5 Be3 ch Kd6 Bf4 1/2-1/2 I would be very interested if you could post an updated video on the Schliemann that analyzes 4. Nc3 Nd4! and what white's best continuation is.
The puzzle answer is Bd3! Black would thought you are dumb and tkae our rook on h1 with check, but we will just play Kd2 and all the sudden, we are threatening Bh7# and Rxh1 at the same time, so black is defenseless.
There is bd3, qxh1+, kd2 and there is no more check for black and check mate looks unstoppable at h7. Also the queen is attacked by the a1 rook. Thought about qc3 too, but black has re5 to start with I guess to close down the diagonal
Bd3 Qxh1+ Kd2 Be7 Rxh1 would be my guess edit actually Qc3 is probably an even better finish as after Be7 black can no longer close the diagonal with their rook
However I would play Bg7 for Black rather than Be7, so that if Qc3 Black still has Re5. White still has Q+P for R+N and the initiative, probably h4 next.
Since white has no knight's, the best response would be to tell black to take his knight back off the board and do a legal move. If it were possible, it would be a terrible move resulting in Qxh1 loss of a rook and a check. Black would then have multiple options with no fear of mate or loss of the queen.
Sir, can you make a video that covers, How to completely play the Owen's Defense Some players play Bd3, Qe2 and play Nd2 and not Nc3 Its difficult when it is played
I love this opening. But I wonder when white takes our knight with the bishop, would it be better to take back with the d pawn instead of the b pawn? I'm thinking the open file in front of the queen keeps white's knight from jumping to d4.
Bd3 wins the queen after black trades it for a rook, and then comes back to d4 to prevent checkmate. Then white wins the queen, but there's no more forced checkmate after white moves Bfg7. But if black can't see those tactics, it's game over for black.
Knight G4 is not bad for white, lose the knight yes... but in next move check and strong attack comming to black king... i played this versus engine (one cheater player invictus 1500 elo) and i lose to amazing checkmatevin this variation
Would you not rather trade a rook for a queen rather than a bishop? Or are you more concerned about thwarting the checkmate threat? There are ways to avoid checkmate but the queen is doomed.
