Another great video lesson Igor! The winning continuation for white around 4.00, to my opinion, is - 1. Ne6+ -- Kd7 2. Bg5, which will end up winning the queen for two minor pieces. The king deadly exposed and it should be enough to win the game later.

I think it's equally likely to get into the Boden-Kiezeritsky Gambit out of a Russian Game/Petrov Defense. After 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6, Black might want to play a genuine Petrov, or, in the vast majority of cases, they want to play a Stafford Gambit. White can play the Italian against the Russian with 3. Bc4!?, gambit the e4 pawn, and play 4. Nc3 to get into the Boden-Kiezeritsky Gambit. If Black is primarily a Stafford Gambit player, Black may try to play the same most common move against the Stafford Gambit Accepted with the d6?? blunder. If Black is a mainline Petrov player, then the Boden-Kiezeritsky Gambit is going to be super sharp (unlike most Petrov Defenses) and take Black out of their comfort zone. If Black chickens out of taking the free pawn and plays 3. ...Nc6, this is now the Two Knights Defense of the Italian Game. White can already play 4. Ng5!, and you tell the Petrov player, "good luck defending the Fried Liver Attack". Completely different and super sharp repertoire.
This looks like an incredible amount of fun. Unfortunately, after 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.Nf3, Black can play 3...Nc6 and reach a normal Italian Two Knights, so we get "tricked" into playing the mainline anyway.
Even so...now you can play the fried liver Ng5! which at least gains a pawn (in Na5 line) or play an exciting king hunt game if they go Ke6 to expose their king (in Nxd5 line)
13:00 black doesn’t need to protect f7 here. Black can play Nc6. This is my main move (although I played it from a different move order) which is absolutely hated by stockfish but if you ever played Traxler before you’ll know white can die in a dozen different ways. Even more so in this variation where black don’t have the e pawn. Bxf7 which is relatively harmless in Traxler still leads to a lot of traps in this variation. Although I don’t recommend playing this if you’re playing 10 minutes game above 1900 elo.
Hey Igor. Very interesting but At 7:33 if the pawn doesnt take on E5 but istead they push the pawn to D6 then that blocks the attack on C4 and its a double attack on your knight and bishop. Any ideas?
Me watching igors video on repeat for an hour then going into a game to try it out and i start with black for 10 games in a row and forget everything i learned
Sir ur video helped me a lot. So sir please upload basic endgame videos. Such as queen vs rook checkmate, Rook enddings, Rook vs other minor piece checkmate, Queen vs other minor piece checkmate, Advance pawn endgame. Actually i tell you because, i understand Your videos better than others. Lots of love from Bangladesh ❤️🇧🇩
He shows it because it is incorrect, then shows a proper defense after. It isn't that unnatural a move since if they don't see Bc4, to them black is simply winning the knight.
BTW, I & engine both never liked Stafford Gambit and was about to skip this video But I think this line will win a loads of game to me online. No one is going to play chess like that & find so many weird correct moves 😂
I am a beginner trying to improve my game, and this is probably a rookie move both on mine and blacks part, but after moving bishop to c4 what is the best response if black moves pawn to b5 or d5. I know only a rookie would probably move that piece. Just wondering still.
Master i want to ask, To become a strong player, do we have to memorize a lot of opening moves? and whether we have to memorize every step after that until the endgame?
I realize the video is doing a reverse stafford gambit, but before that, wouldn't black just contest the center right away with d5? Y'know e4, e5, Bf4, d5
I promise I thought about those move on my own. Not sure if I’ll actually play it in game tho. d5 does look natural but the bishop move would definitely not be played in a blitz game. I probably won’t have much time left after reaching here and just took the bishop.
I fail to see the difference between the bishop's opening and the italian game, you are basically just choosing to develop the same in a different variation....

Lol I've been asking 4 this video
Puzzle: ne6+, ke7, bg5, pinning the queen.
Wow. That's insanity!
Haha, absolutely :D
Upon 7. Bxf7+, Black can reply 7... Ke7. White is still winning here, but the Ne6 maneuver is no longer possible.
“If someone tries all these moves, he could be a friend of Hans Niemann”
LMAOOOOOOOOO
😂😂😂 Epic
At 12:14
That sneaky joke about Hans was perfect😂
Hans is more butthurt than usual now.
Guys, stop before he sues you for $100 million
Another great video lesson Igor!
The winning continuation for white around 4.00, to my opinion, is -
1. Ne6+ -- Kd7
2. Bg5, which will end up winning the queen for two minor pieces. The king deadly exposed and it should be enough to win the game later.
Oh no, My Reverse Stafford!

Thank you GM Igor! Of all the openings , I too like the Bishop's opening the best.
Hi
Igor I appreciate your very informative videos, kindly discuss if black moves knight C6 instead of knight F6... Thank you very much.
🙏
I think it's equally likely to get into the Boden-Kiezeritsky Gambit out of a Russian Game/Petrov Defense.
After 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6, Black might want to play a genuine Petrov, or, in the vast majority of cases, they want to play a Stafford Gambit.
White can play the Italian against the Russian with 3. Bc4!?, gambit the e4 pawn, and play 4. Nc3 to get into the Boden-Kiezeritsky Gambit. If Black is primarily a Stafford Gambit player, Black may try to play the same most common move against the Stafford Gambit Accepted with the d6?? blunder. If Black is a mainline Petrov player, then the Boden-Kiezeritsky Gambit is going to be super sharp (unlike most Petrov Defenses) and take Black out of their comfort zone.
If Black chickens out of taking the free pawn and plays 3. ...Nc6, this is now the Two Knights Defense of the Italian Game. White can already play 4. Ng5!, and you tell the Petrov player, "good luck defending the Fried Liver Attack". Completely different and super sharp repertoire.
4:00 Ne6+ black plays Ke7 then Bg5 pinning the queen to the king
As a reckless soul myself I look forward to going for all-out attack 👍
This looks like an incredible amount of fun. Unfortunately, after 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.Nf3, Black can play 3...Nc6 and reach a normal Italian Two Knights, so we get "tricked" into playing the mainline anyway.
Even so...now you can play the fried liver Ng5! which at least gains a pawn (in Na5 line) or play an exciting king hunt game if they go Ke6 to expose their king (in Nxd5 line)
Even worse, black can play 4…Nc6 after 4. Nc3 which transposes to a bad line of the Italian for white
Hey Igor. Great content. But was wondering you didn't cover blacks pawn move d6 once the Stafford gambit for white realised...
and if someone plays all these moves against you, he must be a friend of Hans Niemann lmao
13:00 black doesn’t need to protect f7 here. Black can play Nc6. This is my main move (although I played it from a different move order) which is absolutely hated by stockfish but if you ever played Traxler before you’ll know white can die in a dozen different ways.

@1:00 stockfist 3200 played Nd6, instead capturing the Knight from c3
1. Ne6+ Ke7 2. Bg5 Pinning the Queen.
Great content igor! Thank you so much!! Could you please show us some cool lines of the kloosterboer gambit!?
Me watching igors video on repeat for an hour then going into a game to try it out and i start with black for 10 games in a row and forget everything i learned
Why do not sacrify the Knight before the castle at min 7:05 ? Thanks
Thanks Teacher you the best one!👍
Nc6 is what I personally play against the Bishop's opening, because most of my opponents follow that up by moving their queen out
Sir ur video helped me a lot.
So sir please upload basic endgame videos.
Such as queen vs rook checkmate,
Rook enddings,
Rook vs other minor piece checkmate,
Queen vs other minor piece checkmate,
Advance pawn endgame.
Actually i tell you because, i understand Your videos better than others.
Lots of love from Bangladesh ❤️🇧🇩
At 4:05 you can still win the queen with the knight check, cause then B-g5
A friend of Hans Niemann ... I literally spat my drink out lol
Deadly opening can’t wait to play this in blitz
Igor. You are a good chess tutor. Biafrachessprodigy of Lichess of 1000 rating is now 1500 and Beat 2000 Rated players. Thanks for your videos.
10:45 why putting the rook away?? the knight can`t take the rook because the queen can be attack after that
Where is the video when Black plays Nc6 ?! Can’t find it
At 10:51 why would they move the rook when after you take the white queen is hanging?
He shows it because it is incorrect, then shows a proper defense after. It isn't that unnatural a move since if they don't see Bc4, to them black is simply winning the knight.
What are the moves after 12:26
BTW, I & engine both never liked Stafford Gambit and was about to skip this video But I think this line will win a loads of game to me online. No one is going to play chess like that & find so many weird correct moves 😂
Since this bishops opening is also the scholars checkmate opening the response has to be nc6, surely. According to his previous videos anyway ?
Ne6+ ke7 bg5!
I am a beginner trying to improve my game, and this is probably a rookie move both on mine and blacks part, but after moving bishop to c4 what is the best response if black moves pawn to b5 or d5. I know only a rookie would probably move that piece. Just wondering still.
what to play if instead of 6...d6, black plays 6...kc6?
Master i want to ask, To become a strong player, do we have to memorize a lot of opening moves? and whether we have to memorize every step after that until the endgame?
Thanks for the lesson..👍👍.
I’d much rather play the Urusov gambit. It’s a lot more difficult to refute and just as aggressive.
friend of Hans Niemann 😂😂😂😂. This coming from a GM is hilarious 😂😂😂
tactical puzzle : Bishop to D6 leaving Knight to F7 possiblr follow up
I realize the video is doing a reverse stafford gambit, but before that, wouldn't black just contest the center right away with d5? Y'know e4, e5, Bf4, d5
Friend of Hans Neiman💀
💀
I promise I thought about those move on my own. Not sure if I’ll actually play it in game tho. d5 does look natural but the bishop move would definitely not be played in a blitz game. I probably won’t have much time left after reaching here and just took the bishop.
massive shade thrown lmao 😂
"Not quite my tempo"
Lawsuit on the way.😂😂😂
Ne6+ Ke7 Bg5 wins the queen
Friends of Hans Nieman 🤣
it looks like best opening ever
Not the best. In the f6 line, there’s Nc6 instead of d6, and after f4 black has f5 and a really nice position.
Sorry how does nc6 change the qh5 threat? If after f4, black p- f5, then nxp, pxn, q-h5 chk, again, mate coming.
@@Nill757 If Nxf5, then d5 is a zwischenzug and black is winning a piece.
Some reckless souls 😂😂😂
This is called the urusov gambit lol
Law sui
This is all great if only I didn't forget it all by the time I have written this comment lol.
❤❤❤
❤
Sorry Bishi=op to E7
Ne6 Ke7
Bg7 Qxe7
Nxe7 .....
The main advantage of the bishops opening is the flexibility. I just discovered 😊
Black lives matter😢
Not in chess 😂
first
I fail to see the difference between the bishop's opening and the italian game, you are basically just choosing to develop the same in a different variation....
