In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov teaches you the "A/B Method" to avoid blunders in chess. It was found by one of the students of the Remote Chess Academy (RCA), by summarizing Igor's anti-blunder techniques. That's his way to memorize this principle so that he can remember and implement this in his practical games.
Watch the video lesson and learn how to avoid making blunders (or make less blunders) in your chess games. This video also has practical examples including the two blunders Capablanca made in the same game.

Thanks. This is exactly the video that I needed to improve. I watched a lot of videos on how to improve to 1000 elos or videos destined towards low elo in general but this is surelt the most useful that I've seen. Avoiding blunders is the first step to make some progress when you're a n00b in chess imo

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement ! These videos are helpful to me !😁
A good lesson. Thanks Igor 👍
After 6...Bg4 white can play 7.Bxf7+ Kxf7 8.Nxe5+ then if 8...dxe5 then 9. Qxd8. If 8. Ke8 then 9. Nxg4 and white is winning. If 8...Ke7 then 9. Bg5+ Nf6 10. Nxg4. So 6...Bg4 is a blunder! (+1 to Herr Spaten for seeing the flaw in my original variation)
And what if qxg5 after 8.ng5+?
@@herrspaten1796 Then white"s Bishop on c1 captures the black Queen.
@@00bikeboy and blacks bishop captures whites quenn
@@herrspaten1796 ! Yes, you're right! My variation is incorrect, instead of 8. Ng5+ it should be 8. Nxe5+!
@@00bikeboy yes
this really helped me thanks!!
On longer time games when it is your turn you should identify all moves you can make and all moves your opponent can make in their current position. Once you have decided on a move make sure that there is nothing new your opponent can do before playing the move. Your brain will usually spot combinations you already know once you are paying attention. Keep doing this consideration when it is your opponent's turn as this will be mean you are more alert to the candidate moves for both sides.
Once practiced in familiar positions this should become a faster pattern recognition. If it helps start naming the patterns for easier recall. The more you play an opening and endgame the easier it should become.
i've learn this attack for a week... good lesson
Will you ever cover psychology in chess? (ex: Karpov-Davies)
Watched three vids and already huge fan of this channel! Молодец!! I'm a bit curious about the cat tho, how does he always land on the same spot lol
Excellent method. Slow down the response and think more deeply with the A/B Method
The other night while playing chess my opponent played Qd6 and together with knight on f6 got mated. This was because following Igors advice to always to look at attacking moves I played ...Ne4 with the aim of trading knights. So I believe if you have the time you should ALWAYS first look at his attacking moves first see if you have a defence. But before playing it see if you have a better move. In my game I had ...Kf7 which saves the game. In another game my opponent played...
Qc8 attacking my rook on a6 so played Ra7 which was a mistake because he had a bishop on d7 attacking my pawn on h3 which was protected by a pawn on g2. A better move was to play Rxf6! and if he recaptured I mate with Qxf6+! What both games show me is making a chess move is a two part process, in the first game there is no better move than...Kf7 but in the second game even though Ra7 won I needed to look for a better move. The A/B system is that two part process,even if your not under attack you still need to check to see if your move isn't a mistake.
thanks
Chessmaster 10 has 2 useful blunder reduction training methods. One is avoid mate exercise. Two is find safe square with 1 piece and the opponent has given only 1 safe square.
thanks for advice!!
What is chess master 10? An app?
@@loc7909 An old chess program for windows.
@@fabianojesus8418 Yeah I googled it, looks very old school. Is the blunder reduction tool really that useful? And is there a free version do you know?
@@loc7909 I think there is no free version because worked in old windows version (maybe windows xp).. @Tankotee maybe has more informations about the real utilility about avoid mate exercise. I didnt find any task like this in lichess nor ct art.
Simple is always better.
Nicely put.
I am a beginner and have enjoyed your work and your lessons very much. Thank you for the insight and experience you've given.
Great to hear!
My dad would disagree he says I am average,dumb and I definitely don't rock. What motivational videos~ gurus have you been watching GM SMIRNOV !!!
is anybody here after trying to big brain their opponent and then blundering their queen 2 seconds later?
Solution to the quiz: After 6. ... Bg4, 7. Nxe5! dxe5 (obviously if 7. ... Bxd1?? then the Legal-like 8. Bxf7ch Ke7 9. Bg5 mate), 8. Qxg4, and White has regained the gambit pawn, has the bishop pair, and gained a huge lead in development. The doubled c-pawns might be an issue if Black somehow survives to the endgame, but that ain't likely to happen.
Edited to add: Duh, I'd missed 8. Bxf7ch picking up the queen. Oh well...
Thanks. Bg4 looked natural. I guessed that it was a blunder due to the question, but I couldn't calculate far enough to see why. Your explanation helped me to understand why it was a blunder.
The problem is that "blunder check" doesn't help in these situations for me. Kxe4 Bxd1 and we win a queen and go home happy. Idk how to fix this. Anyways though thanks for the solution. You did help.
I mostly watch all your videos to watch the kitty in the background
Bg6 is a blunder because White will play :
7...Bxf7+, Kxf7 8...Kxe5, dxf5 9...Qxd8 or 7...Bxf7+, Kxf7 8...Kxe5, Ke8 9...Kxg4
No, as Nxe5 is winning for White.
- If Black takes the Queen, Bxf7+ Ke7 Bg5 and Black is mated.
- If Black takes the Knight instead they lose the Queen with Bxf7.
All these tactics work due to Bxf7 so maybe Be6 but that also looks bad due to Bxe6 fxe6 Qh5+.
So to conclude Bg4 is a blunder. I think the simple Be7 trying to castle is best.
I knew the first part, but didn't realize the second till you pointed it out. I just thought White played 8. Qxg4 (which, to be fair, still gives White a pretty solid advantage).
11:15 shouldn't maybe
Reason is white can ruin black positionally by fried liver attack. Gaining some material in exchange of queen(comparatively lower than queen) . And tactics flow from a superior position.
How is your cat ALWAYS in the background lol
Got greedy, had my position go to -8 to +#2. As a 1700 I should be embarassed.
Black can't play Bg4, because of Bxf7+ Kxf7, then Ng5+, black can't take the queen because it is check and when black moves the king anywhere, then the next move is Qxg4/Qxg4+
Can't white play Nxe4 as if dxe4 Black's queen is lost and if not captured the bishop and night are still attacking f pawn
ANSWER TO PUZZLE:
Bg4 is a fine move.
If someone wonders what if bxf7+ followed by ng5, the black queen would sacrifice herself and black would pick up the white queen on the next move, leaving black up 2 pieces.
If nxe5 immediately, taking his queen is a terrible move because of Bxf7+ followed by bg5#. To refute this line, simply play dxe5, qxg4, and argue that his doubled pawns and lack of central pawns is worth the knight vs bishop (white didn't win a pawn in this line, it's still 7 v 7).
Its not a fine move, it loses a pawn...
Comp says +7.0 for white after Nxe5. Black cant take back with pawn because black will loose queen with Bxf7+ .. if black takes the bishop then Qxd8.. if Ke7 then Bg5+... and black is forced to take on f7 and looses the queen in same way.
And if black try to take the queen on d1.. then Bxf7 and Bg5 is mate.
After looking into the last pusle beeing a bit confused about the 2 diferent variations suggested in chat here i took a look with comp. I found out that both work:
computer realy likes Nxe5 best.
one variation if black tires to take queen leads to mate:
7.Nxe5 Bxd1 8.Bxf7+ Ke7 9.Bg5#
If instead black tries to take knight with the pawn; black looses the queen in 2 possible ways.. one go like this:
7.Nxe5 dxe5 8.Bxf7+ Ke7 9.Bg5+ Kxf7 10.Qxd8
(please note that if after 8.Bxf7, black tires Kxf7 (to take the bishop with king) black looses the queen to Qxd8).
After Nxe5 the comp says the best move for black is to go back with bishop to e6.. but the folowwing best moves leads to lost pawn and black also has to give up a rook or a knight... so its not looking good for black in this variation. but of this is if white find all the good moves:
7.Nxe5 Be6 8.Bxe6 fxe6 9.Qh5+ g6 10.Nxg6 hxg6 11.Qxh8 Nd7
But when i thinking my self i thougt the variation was to hit at f7 with bishop emidiately.. and that also win for white.. so both answers is right. tho in this variation black looses only a pawn and the caste right.. computer still say +6 (related to the +7.1 if we take on e5 with knight first):
7.Bxf7+ Kxf7 8.Nxe5+ Ke8 9.Nxg4
10:32 Black has good defense. Black can play be6 and the attack is defended no?
Yes looks defended but black looses the f pawn and looks wounderable.. white can choose what piece to capture with first.. and exhanges one officer with either a knight forking queen and bishop or hits with knight forst and can keep a strong bishop in diagonal of choise. White not winning but should be clearly better.
Infact i check with comp now and black is ok if withe just exhange pieces.. will be down a pawn but comp says +1 to white. However... after Be6, white should play Bxe6.. and after fxe6... white has Qf3! And this is +6.0.. white threatens mate on f7 and the pawn on b7... and it looks like black is in serious trouble.. with best play black has to give up an exhange on the rook on a8.. with best play that is.
@@niravapurv4578 That makes sence thx for your answer
1:56 actually Ng5!! works because after Qxg5 D4!! and en passant becomes forced, wining the queen in the process
Is en passant forced?
En passant is not a forced move you don't have to play it I don't know why you think it is but black will just not play en passant and is up a piece
nope queen just takes g2
@@markrozin559 but en passant is forced or your pipi gets bricked
Bishop gets pushed back by pawns
Making blunders is the only way to stop making blunders IMO
no i dont think Bg4 is a blunder after Nxe5 u take the queen then Nf7 but then u go Be2 if Bxe2 u take the knight and will get in a winning position if they take your queen u take rook then if they take our bishop u take knight if they flee knight u take the unprotected bishop
Afterbg4 white plays nxe5 and after qxd1 we play bxf7 ke7 bg5#
I guess you mean Bxd1 and not Qxd1, anyways that variation is not so simple as white dont have to strike at d1.. but i look with comp and both nxe5 and Bxf7 directly is winning for white.
Anyways i find that if black dont take the queen on d1 but instead take the night on e5.. he loose the queen... his best move is to go back with bishop to e6... and black looses multiple pawns and even an exhange.
6...Bg4?? 7. Bxf7+! Kxf7 8. Nxe5+ and the Bg4 is lost by force as 8...dxe5 hangs the Qd8.
No , because after 6.Bg4 , then White will play 7. Bxf7+ Kxf7 8. Nxe5+ Ke8 9. Nxg4
Bishop e7 stops Ng5
Black cannot play Bg4 because Nxe5 threatens ...Bxd1 ; Bxf7ch Ke7; Bg5mate
Now that I see the solution… What about the course?
Thanks for your interest in our course. Stay tuned. We will release the course soon.
09:50 Nxe5 wins.
Im on 16 lose streak because of blunder
I'm with you man.
Can your cat play chess?
Meaw!

I am not awesome, I do not rock, and I am dumber than a brick.
Been playing chess on and off 30+ years and I never see blunders until after making them.
No
This only works for classical and maybe rapid, but not for blitz.
I am quite shure good /experienced blitz players do this by auto.. ofc can speend much time. But by every move to see what oponent is attacking is how you avoid blunders. Keeping your pieces in sound and not to loose positions is also important.. but i think in blitz it has to come more as and inbuilt automatic.
This also works on blitz.
if bg4. b*f7 k*f7 ng5+ win the Bishop back with an extra pawn
