Thanks for the video Igor. I’m a big fan and a subscriber, and somewhat of a student, is it possible you can make a video of the Vienna against most variations
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. My chess game was stuck because I wasn’t learning and because of you and your videos I find myself learning and improving. You are an excellent teacher and I wish you all the success.

for the Ponziani-Urusov Gambit, what happens after the queen makes that threat? The rook is defended, and the king can still move a pawn to make an escape if necessary. I mean, it's a bad position for black, but I'm not that good, so the tables could still get turned on me there
Well I must say I'm now an 1860 blitz on lichess and 1900 on classic well ur videos are much better than buying a book im not financial owk now but when I'm oek I wanto pay for ur classes 🎉
Hi Igor. You show informative techniques, I always enjoy your tutoring. One little thing, could you please position your microphone a little closer to yourself. I have checked my volume controls and they are ok. Sometimes the audio is too low when narrators talk, but at other times some narrators are too loud, so maybe the microphone is at a wrong distance? Thank you, regards, Tibor.
Why resign so early? I’ve seen many opponents make blunders as well as made blunders myself when the game should have been in hand. Make your opponents play it out
Can anybody point to me the video in which he explains the middle fork trick with the pawn? I saw it once and have been playing it but forgot the lines. Just need to watch it again, thanks
I have tried these Bishop openings against at least 30 different level opponents and have never come across one that plays the key moves thats needed as shown in these tactics. Sometimes they may do the first two or occasionally three moves but never the rest that enables me to complete any of these 5 openings. Are the levels of the opponents that make the moves you show under 800 rating. Because no opponent over 1200 rating plays the suggested moves.
I finally got someone to fall completely for the first one-He resigned after QG8! He must have known BH6 was coming-I reviewed the game and found i scored 100! in accuracy! LOL
All i wanna know is how to play with stupid players who are playing not good moves and turns out to become really good moves because it is actually so bad that turns out to be great
