🔹 How to PUNISH Bg5 Pin on Your Knight? [Common Opening Mistake] - • How to PUNISH Bg5 Pin ...
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov will teach you how to deal with the annoying pins on your knights when your opponents play Bg4 or Bg5. This is one of the most common chess opening mistakes that amateurs make. One should know how to deal with or punish this pin.
Very often, chess players feel uncomfortable with this pin and they don't know how to deal with it. As a result, they play passively by putting their bishop behind the knight to unpin it, such as Be2 or Be7, which is the worst reaction to an opponent trying to pin your knight.
There are a lot more aggressive and better ways to deal with this annoying pin. You will learn 4 ways how to punish this Bg5/Bg4 pin on your knight. You will learn how to tactically punish it by checkmating your opponent's king or winning the bishop that pins, and also strategically punishing your opponent by damaging their pawn structures or exploiting their queenside.

sorry gi5439---------------
I have to say, great discussion of some extremely common situations I have largely been playing wrongly with the passive bishop over the years. Thank you.
I'm delighted to know it was helpful!
Me too!
Same here!! Great vid!
Basically the most beneficial chess content creator in youtube
I think you are not seeing other chanals
@@dileepmv7438 yeah
I recommend xklam64
You're not checking out other chess channels
@@fn_cxrsed2984 what
I love that you get straight to the point in the most simplistic way. Thank you!
🙏
I like this. I need to learn to be more aggressive. On the first example I normally plan pawn to H3 forcing a retreat or take of the knight. Great to add some more tactics to my toolbox. ty.
Thanks for the video, this situation happens frequently during my games. Glad to have a more agressive way to respond to this.
Indeed, it's extremelly common. But now you know how to take advantage of that 💪
This was one of the most useful chess videos I've seen on UA-cam. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post it. It really works. Best part is that it's perfect for our time as the Scandinavian is such a fad among players nowadays. (I personally never play it.)
Glad it was helpful!
I seem to get caught by these tactics pretty often. Sometimes I manage to win anyway but I have been on the losing side of them lots of times. Guess that’s just the way it goes when your a 500 ELO.
im 900 lose to it sometimes as well. especially if its way off the main lines. my main opening for white is queens london. my defense for black is caro kann and kings indian. keep on grinding mate!
@@remangelobasadre1430 Thanks for the encouragement, I will indeed.
All I can say this was an eye opener I hate when my knights get pinned by bishops he makes it look so smooth to get out of that
I'm 1000 happens to me aswell sometimes.
@@zimmiy2122 I hope to make to 1000 eventually but it’s going to take awhile. I don’t seem to have much talent for this game.
Always clear explanation and practical advice. Definitely the best chess teacher on the Internet.
I love these positional and strategic videos! I can never remember tactical traps, but strategic ideas are really helpful for me.
Great video! Sometimes h3 g4 looks dangerous to me, but you explained very well how I can use this to my advantage
What great tips! Thank you for sharing!
Usually they just take horsey
Bad
A bishop is a bit stronger than a knight. Such an exchange favors you, you'll obtain the positional advantage, and you don't have to worry about the pin anymore.
Yes because that knight is actually very dangerous at the beginning of the game as it can fork both queen and rook at the right position
And new players don't know how to deal with it so they choose to trade
Pretty dumb
@@sarat8124 A knight cant pin...?
@@sarat8124 Cant tell if ure serious or not with all the 800s in the comment section
Thank you very much, that's a very useful and interesting topic
Lovely! Wish your courses were a little more affordable! But for a casual player I think all the stuff you demo is really more than sufficient!
Thank you so much for the lesson
Great video. Thank you!
This tut is extremely helpful and well-prepared. Had to watch it again to grasp all the information in it. Thank you!
You're welcome!
I learn a lot with your videos. I'm grateful for your channel. One of these days i saw one of your free chess lessons and i won 8 games straight. Thank you for this channel.
You are the best in chess I've ever seen on UA-cam
Thank you for this
this is so extremely common in the 1200 range im hard stuck in. Thanks for this useful tips man!
You don't know how much I needed this... Thank you very much for this video!
I hope to watch more of your chess combinations. They are fantastic to watch.
thank you!
Incredible video - so much information in such a concise format. Plenty of positions to run through while studying and practicing - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@GMIgorSmirnov glad you grobbed it!
Thanks Igor!
excellent ideas
Great stuff, thank you.
At 8.02 you analyse black's response to e4 being either pxp or Bxp. If Nxp then Qxp winning a piece or ++
Really good practical video.

Id just push h pawn to force the bishop away
W youtuber
Change to Bg4 instead of Bg5
how do you move your pawns
I am always learning so much from Igor Smirnov, not just because he just shares information, but because he always explains clearly in a soothing way 👍 It's easy to catch
I'm happy to help 🙏
So far, I have been alright in playing Bg4 in Scandinavian. Two succesive wins using Scandi led my rating get to 1500 from 1400 low for the 1st time in a popular chess website.
thanks for the video
Very helpful!
I tried your every traps in game.....and it helps me lots.... thanks 🙏🙏🙏
💪
Very useful video thanks man.
VERY useful.
Good, thanks
Very helpful
This is very helpful I’ve bought a Gambit Tournament Chess Set to help my nephews Autistic stepson who hasn’t spoken for 3yrs I know that Chess is a good method in activating parts of the Brain to help certain neural areas hopefully teach them to think and speak
Great video. I find this kind of video much more useful for me, than most other chess videos I watch.
Glad to hear it!
At low levels the best thing to do is usually ignore it and recapture with the queen if they decide to take. If you allow further attacks against that knight or move the queen away, you'd face issues with this idea though.
Helpful!
Thanks!
Thanks for the great ideas! I have been playing this wrong getting frustrated for too long.
Really helpfull.. applied it right after the game and won the game pretty easily... it was very clear that what was to be done to gain advantage... there were no doubts whatsoever..
Thanks a lot..😁
Congratulations!
Thanks a lot. I always suffered with this. Now I can play without fear.
🙏
I definitely needed this one
I really like the content you are making. Something to take away for any players of Class levels, I feel.
Ne5 exposing your queen! I’m definitely going to try it. Thanks!
This help me a lot
Oh, I couldn't need this video more. Thanks! Looking forward to punishing those annoying pins!
Glad to help!
The last part works great with London system
Very good video!
Thank you
Awesome!
If I pinned your knight down, it means i want to capture it.
Great video. At 7:00 what if they move the knight out instead of the pawn so the queen protects the rook
Igor - thank you for the great videos - quick question, what happens at 3:33 mark if white pawn goes from H2 to H3 instead of H4? - please let me know your thoughts - Thank you once again.
where do I start watching your videos? I prefer your tactics over gotham but both are good in their own ways. I just like your more directness and aggression on the play.
2:00 I love that queen sacrifice CM. They will think they won the game and then BAM
Thank you Coach Smirnov
You're most welcome
Very cool video!
Gaah! It's so much to remember 😅 I like your content of different approaches 🤘
Inarguably the best chess channel in UA-cam !!
Amazing stuff 2000 lets go!
Maybe it’s because I’m not part of the target audience, but the moves that he suggests are obvious moves or at least common ideas that I already know. The supporting lines also depend too heavily on the opponent making a mistake. I think he should talk more about more general ideas which helps you in a maneuvering game that can be explained through the moves, rather than giving lines that can be avoided.
Perhaps you're a more advanced level player. I usually show the most common variations on beginner-intermediate level which applies to the majority of players.
Great video! Thank you. Your lessons look very appealing. I find I spend more time on defense than I do on offense- is this typical of novice players? At a high level like yourself, do you feel your victories are more offense or defense? I have much more fun when being aggressive, but I win more often when being defensive, unless playing a less skilled player. Is primarily playing defense a sign of a bad player? I sadly feel it might be. Lastly, is pattern chess boring to you? I find I play dumb openings sometimes just to break their patterns- which yields a more interesting game for me, but usually also leads to less victories. Have you ever chosen odd positions for fun over patterns for success? Perhaps at your level it's more about success than fun. Is success the only thing that brings satisfaction at your level since you've likely seen it all before?
Great lesson, great help. I need an explanation tho, on 3:31 (Attacking Bg5 pin before you castle) you only explain a pawn H4 response for white; but not pawn H3 to counter attack the forking Bishop. how would one proceed?
1:09 Or alternatively black plays e6 after Bc4 and the position is even and both sides play on. These are nice tactics that might catch 1200s and the occasional 1400 who isn’t paying attention, so I think that it’s key to know your opponent and their relative skill level, and while simple tactics like these are helpful to know, they generally don’t see actual play at more competitive levels.
This is a GM giving advice, just take it
Instead of playing Nf6, Black Plays Nc6 after White Plays Bc4. What will be the result?
Well said ❤❤❤🎉🎉
❤
You are great..
!"
brilliant
most times people with low elo take the knight just to mess up youre pawn structure and to capture knights becose they are the most hard to deal with if you are low elo.
Good stuff, man! I'm subscribed now. 😁 😎👍
Awesome, thank you!
My opponent or myself use this tactic a lot so this is very informative
👌
He omits some obvious defenses for several of this positions
Good sir,
0:40 in. So I tend to Rook Pawn to H2 here. Because if he takes my Knight I have the option of G Pawn capture or Queen Capture, and having the Queen open to 2 Diags can be something you don't want to face early. So if he pins the Knight, by all means... let's trade. Especially since, generally, late game Bishops carry more value... so if I can trade 3 Points for 3.25 Points... as long as I'm good without Knights, that's advantage me.
So now that my two options are given, which are probably horrible since I'm in that 800-900 ELO Range... let's see what this smart man has to teach me. :D
Excellent tutorial
I'm glad it was helpful.
Absolute savage video
This guy is joining my list of favorite chess UA-camrs, along with Eric Rosen, Levy Rozman, Nelson Lopez, and Hikaru Nakamura.
The best is B. Finegold. The truth hurts.
Can't wait
The best youtube chess channel thank you
🙏
Excellent explanation
Glad you liked it
Second one is right and simple and supere
I always just push a pawn to force the bishop to take a piece or go away fast, and people never seem to do one or the other. I feel more willing to trade a knight for a bishop so it works with me
Great info
Thank you!
Igor, do you have something on the London?
after ...g5 a good attempt to mcx it up is Nxg5 hxg5 then Bxg5 and the knight pin can be annoying,as well as the king being stuck in the centre. Black is forced to play ...Be6 then white plays h4.
3:33 White can also do Nxg5 followed by Nxf7 and fork the rook and the queen after taking two pawn king-side...
And give the queen for a rook?? Maybe white is NOT a WEAK BEGINNER!!!
1:48 oh no, my queen!
Looks good on your board. I played 20 games and didn’t get this response once lol
I accidentally understood that pushing the pawns before castling is actually a great idea.
Bro you're awesome
6:57 isn't c3 better than c4 here if we want Qb3 on the next move? What if black plays dxc4 preventing Qb3?
Is it still a mistake if the B on g5 is just used to exchange with the knight it is pinning, creating a double pawn?
This teacher is so underated. Good work!
Thank you! 😃
Very useful stuff. I usually play the passive White Be2 at 1:10 as well and haven't considered Bc4. Though what happens if Black plays e6 and continues the pin? Would 0-0 then make sense?
If you castle with black bishop in E6, you lose your C4 Bishop...
