    In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you a universal and aggressive chess opening system for Black that works against any first move by White. It's the move 1...Nc6, commonly known as the Nimzowitsch Defense.
    Since it is universal, it can be played against any of White's first moves: 1.e4, 1.d4, 1.Nf3, or 1.c4. This opening system is particularly tricky, often resulting in Black gaining a winning position within just 10 moves in many common variations.
    Moreover, it proves especially effective against the London System. If White isn't careful, they may fall right into the trap, leading to checkmate in only 7 moves!

      1... Nc6 is the opposite of aggressive.
      It allows 2. e4 and blocks the c7 pawn which is meant to be sacrificed in order to play e5, or is meant to take on d4 to isolate the d4 pawn and open the file for the c8 rook.

  • @smithyq6335
    @smithyq6335 4 місяці тому +12

    This is a very good system, especially if White doesn't know it. In most lines on lichess, Black scores much better than White. HOWEVER, in lines where White pushes an early h4 (either 1.e4 Nc6 2.d4 e5 3.d5 Ne7 4.Nf3 Ng6 5.h4! or 1.d4 Nc6 2.c4 e5 3.d5 Ne7 4.Nf3 [or Nc3] Ng6 5.h4!) White scores better AND the computer gives a very comfortable advantage. This h-pawn push is quite thematic against Knights on g6/g3. These are not the most popular lines, but you are rolling the dice and/or need to do some homework in these Harry Attack lines if you want to play them in non-blitz games. (You also need to know how to play the Scotch after 3.Nf3!?, though GM Smirnov has some videos on that so not a big deal.)

    Many teachers will pose an idea and say, “then your opponent will go here” but that example is only one of four valid moves and the other three collapse the trap!
    You illustrated the theory beautifully. I’m excited to try this.

    What's the response to 1 d4 Nc6 2 d5? As a d4 player myself, that's what I do when I see Nc6 on move 1 (which I rarely see). Even for system openings, you have to adapt to your opponent's play.

    I see one move from White that could prevent the whole system : what if after 1. d4 ... Nc6, white immediately pushes d5 to chase the Knight ? You didn't get a chance to push e5 yet, so the Knight doesn't have the e7 square to retreat. What would you recommend in that case ?

    I'm really intrigued by the universal possibilities of this opening, but at least one hole I think you have here is in covering d4 - Nc3 - d5. This seems like it can get pretty tricky. The knight is pretty much forced to e5, and pawn to e5 doesn't work anymore.

    Noone I've played moves the knight. Never do they do that move. I wish this video was not "they move something" show the moves they actually do.

    This opening against Knight to c3 is a problem for me...this is my repertoire..what's the best way to use this opening against Nc3 and f4...h4 is also a problem by the way...@GmKrikor

    No one does this move. It's always knight and then bishop
