Another great video thanks Vlad. There's also this variation (much more rarer) White to open: Nf3, d5, e4, dxe4, Ng5, Qd5, d3, exd3, Bxd3, Qxg2 (falling for the trap) Be4 (1-0)
the answer to the puzzle at the end is Qh5 for anyone wondering. The reason is that the king will be forced to move to d8 and when it does, you can play ba5 pinning the queen to the king and winning it, and the queen cannot capture because the queen on h5 will take black queen that just took the bishop. if black tries to play g6 to misplace the queen so that it wouldn't protect a5, you can simply play bxg6 forcing the king to move anyway, then play ba5 again and win the queen
I’ve been watching so many chess video lately from other UA-camrs to improve my game, and I’m very glad that I found yours. I don’t need to watch or search for anything else. There’s lot more to grasp from your lessons. Thanks for making these helpful videos.
In trap 1 I rarely see h6, most opponents seem to develop their knight, which usually prevents the attack. I love these strats but so rarely do they line up.
Puzzle solution: Qh5+, If opponent plays Kd8 you play Ba5 (protected by the Queen) and you win opponents queen. If they block the check with the pawn, you take if with your light squared bishop, forcing Kd8 where you play Ba5 again and win opponents queen.
I did save this video to check it out again it’s worthwhile I love those bishops moves forcing king out to be able to get the Queen of course you make it seem easy but it’s fun watching if only I’m able to pull it off in a game
That’s so slick I hope I get a chance to pull that move off I know I have to watch a couple of your videos several times to absorb all the tips you give got to get that Queen 🤩
0:25 White knight 2:30Black king 4:36 Black (white queen) 5:50 white queen 8:43 white king (black cicilian) 10:16 white knight (black queen) 11:46 black queen (white Queen) 13:37 black king (white queen) 15:51 black Knight (white queen)
Hi.I am a fan of your videos and I am a 800 rated Blitz player. On the first trap, here I must say that most players do not fall for it as the play 5.Nc6 in all of the games I playedc (and played a lot of them). 1.Nf3 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Ng5 Nf6 4.d3 dxe3 5.Bxd3 Nc6!! protecting the Queen and developing a piece
If you are still wondering, there's a line where after Bf5, Nc3, Nf6, Qe2, Qd4,Qb5+(also attacking the bishop and the pawn at b7), Bd7,Qxb7, here you are about to win a rook, if the opponent go Bc6, you can go Qc8#. Now if after Qb5+, the opponent blocks with Qd7, Qxb7 still threatens to win a rook but after Qc6, you can't mate on c8 anymore because it is covered by the bishop, instead you can go Bb5, pinning the queen and the king.
2:32 last game I did first few steps exactly as your opponnent here and guy who played against me seemed like he watched this video. Luckily for me I watched it too and evaded check mate by moving one pawn and creating space for king to move away from check. He blundered and lost queen and i won
11:25 and if he blocks your queen exit with bishop what do we do? we take bishop and get eaten by a knight? so we just traded queens (im not trying to be smart, i got into chess few days ago and im trying to learn)
Thanks Igor, this one is quite repeatable. The new word for crushing (for me) is disgusting, trap #1 is thoroughly disgusting and a keeper. I'm loving this channel, looking forward to taking your opening and middle game courses soon.
Do a video with Chess Titans Level 4. I want to see what you do when it decides not to cooperate & all these fancy tactics begin to fall apart! How do you still win without playing hope chess, just hoping to win?
In trap #2, the Italian game. I’ve played the black opening moves(...Qg5) then it was Bf7+ and completely fouled up the rest of the game. Is there a queen trap continuation that I’m not finding if Bishop takes f7 over the knight?
Flaw spotted 13:10 After moving the pawn out of whites way and promoting to a knight, the white king can now retreat back to its original square instead of taking it with rook, completely mooting the attack and freeing his queen. As opposed to promoting to queen where he cannot do this since he cant afford to leave the new queen uncaptured
Trap3 doesn't give you massive advantage with so many pieces being sacrificed. I mean getting the Queen itself gives you only +2. If they don't take the knight, you end up giving them +1. The way you present it, it's a winner. However, in my opinion, you shouldn't get too excited about it, even if it works
5:34 I actually discovered this trap by accident one day when I was playing chess, I pre moved the knight and that actually happend, I sat there a minute then I found the bishop sacrifice and did this trap.
Qh5 check, if g6 then Bxg6 check, Kd8 is forced, Ba5 pinning the Queen to the trapped King taking the queen on the next move. if they play Kd8 immediately than you skip ahead to Ba5 pinning the queen. either way Bxb6 winning the Queen for a Bishop.
I have a friend that I play who always wants to play black and usually opens with his pawn to e6 or d6 sometimes b6 then brings out the queen almost immediately and starts attacking me. Can you post a video on how to play agianst that.
thanks so much for this video, i tried it once on a 1100 to see how it would work, and i won the queen an entirely different way! he resigned after 13 moves
In trap 7, around the 13:06 mark, why can’t I throw in a check with white bishop first and save my pawn for later? Wouldn’t I win the queen regardless? Or was this move to win one extra knight?
On trap 7 at 13:15, when the pawn is promoted to a knight, wouldn't most players notice the attack on the king and queen with the bishop and simply return the king to its home square? It would then be hard to save the new knight.
promoting the pawn to a queen would make more sense. It's more brutish but leaves your opponent with no counterplay (2 queens vs 1 or no queen vs 1 queen)

Wow, thanks!

same here
This is the kind of vision I strive to achieve

The reason is that the king will be forced to move to d8 and when it does, you can play ba5 pinning the queen to the king and winning it, and the queen cannot capture because the queen on h5 will take black queen that just took the bishop. if black tries to play g6 to misplace the queen so that it wouldn't protect a5, you can simply play bxg6 forcing the king to move anyway, then play ba5 again and win the queen
@@KenFullman I covered this line in my explanation I don't know why you decided to point this out after I already did
I love these trappy openings, always leads to interesting games for me. Rarely do they work but people take weird lines and the positions are wild
I’ve been watching so many chess video lately from other UA-camrs to improve my game, and I’m very glad that I found yours.

Thank you, Igor! So practical and helpful, as always.🙏🏻 You are the clearest, friendliest and smartest chess tutor on UA-cam.

Always love these gambit videos. Also watched a ton of your Scotch Gambit/Bishops opening videos!
Puzzle solution: Qh5+, If opponent plays Kd8 you play Ba5 (protected by the Queen) and you win opponents queen. If they block the check with the pawn, you take if with your light squared bishop, forcing Kd8 where you play Ba5 again and win opponents queen.
Really good video. Amazing tricks. Everyone needs to watch again and again these fantastic traps.
This is a great video! Thanks!
I love the comment he makes at @18:05 I learn so much watching this man!
wow! I have found it... Q check, B check and the black Q is trapped. Amazing stuff on this channel for my lvl. Buhaha on the liches. BIG THX
Great video! It helps me a lot

Thanks a lot you post all this for free
I love your opening videos and traps. Can you make a video on how to play against the Taimanov Sicilian as white? Thank you so much
Very good tactics video.
0:25 White knight
2:30Black king
4:36 Black (white queen)
5:50 white queen
8:43 white king (black cicilian)
10:16 white knight (black queen)
11:46 black queen (white Queen)
13:37 black king (white queen)
15:51 black Knight (white queen)
The puzzle answer is Qh5+.After Kd8, you play Ba5 to pinning the queen to the king and we achieved our goal, winning a queen.
It can simply be avoided by pushing the pawn and attacking the queen
@@ronnie_17 but then you take it with Bg6+ so that's not an option for black
@@ronnie_17 light squared bishop takes the pawn
You've won the queen. But white bishop to g6 is checkmate.
no Qxa5
Thank you brother 🙏🙏
Excellent. Very amusing presentation as well. Thanks 🙂.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really all opening are very good lot of thanks.
You're the real GOAT. I really admire you pal❤

1.Nf3 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Ng5 Nf6 4.d3 dxe3 5.Bxd3 Nc6!! protecting the Queen and developing a piece
Certainly not everyone will fall for the trap. On that level, being a pawn down with some piece activity isn't too bad anyway.
love your videos. you are a great teacher
Also nice vid that’s what inspired my idea
I'm glad it was helpful!
I have really learned something
U r a good class teacher❤
gracias máquina!
Excellent technique love it 💖
😊
Some fun strategies here! Question about the Tennison Gambit: at 0:55 what if instead of 3 ...Nf6, black plays Bf5?
If you are still wondering, there's a line where after Bf5, Nc3, Nf6, Qe2, Qd4,Qb5+(also attacking the bishop and the pawn at b7), Bd7,Qxb7, here you are about to win a rook, if the opponent go Bc6, you can go Qc8#.
Now if after Qb5+, the opponent blocks with Qd7, Qxb7 still threatens to win a rook but after Qc6, you can't mate on c8 anymore because it is covered by the bishop, instead you can go Bb5, pinning the queen and the king.
The best! :) Thanks! :)

Wowwww I'm always enjoying watching your videos I'm always excited to try them out❤️
Thanks Igor for these very helpful tips on how to win fast in chess. I LOVE THESE TIPS!!!
Glad you like them!
imo the evaluation in trap 8 is relatively equal (a knight, bishop + rook for a queen is fair and the whole black’s queen side is wide open)
Good video👊
1:07 after d3, what do you do if black plays h6?
11:25 and if he blocks your queen exit with bishop what do we do? we take bishop and get eaten by a knight? so we just traded queens (im not trying to be smart, i got into chess few days ago and im trying to learn)
Thanks man.

Solution to the Puzzle: Qh5+ Kd8 Ba5! and if g6 then Bxg6+ Kd8 Ba5
correct
Cool man i totally understand
Ur reply is so high level shit 😊
In trap #2, the Italian game. I’ve played the black opening moves(...Qg5) then it was Bf7+ and completely fouled up the rest of the game. Is there a queen trap continuation that I’m not finding if Bishop takes f7 over the knight?
Following
Nice topic
Very much interesting and motivational
Glad you think so!
1. Qh5+, Kd8 2. Ba5, pinning the queen to the King
Puzzle: Qh5+ Kd8, Ba5 forking black queen and king
8:22 how should i continue with white ? Thanks guys
Flaw spotted 13:10
After moving the pawn out of whites way and promoting to a knight, the white king can now retreat back to its original square instead of taking it with rook, completely mooting the attack and freeing his queen. As opposed to promoting to queen where he cannot do this since he cant afford to leave the new queen uncaptured

5:34 I actually discovered this trap by accident one day when I was playing chess, I pre moved the knight and that actually happend, I sat there a minute then I found the bishop sacrifice and did this trap.
amazing
I love ur videos!
Nice video 👍
Qh5+ Kd8 ( g6 Bxg6+ )Ba5 , pinning the queen either way !
is the trap 1 called the intercontinetal ballistic missile gambit
Great lessons!
Thanks! 😃
Queen d5 check then king moves side way then pinning the queen by dark squared bishup
Hey, could you make a video where to cover best lines for both in North or Danish Gambit?
This one could be helpful: ua-cam.com/video/jIZ8GzOzb1U/v-deo.html
very nice video all traps in one video...check 07:10 time stamp looks incorrect!
1:30 yeah, I usually try to avoid letting my opponent keep their knight near that fork
Knight and bishop, exchange with a queen, is it good?
Qh5 check, if g6 then Bxg6 check, Kd8 is forced, Ba5 pinning the Queen to the trapped King taking the queen on the next move. if they play Kd8 immediately than you skip ahead to Ba5 pinning the queen. either way Bxb6 winning the Queen for a Bishop.
great video..
Glad you enjoyed it
At 19:36 what’s wrong with castles for black?
I have a friend that I play who always wants to play black and usually opens with his pawn to e6 or d6 sometimes b6 then brings out the queen almost immediately and starts attacking me. Can you post a video on how to play agianst that.
thanks so much for this video, i tried it once on a 1100 to see how it would work, and i won the queen an entirely different way! he resigned after 13 moves
Fantastic!
What if after fxg8N+,black plays Ke1?
In the last method instead of moving the queen 19:38 , black can up his pawn to a6
1)Qh5+
2)Kd8
3)Ba5
Qh5 then Ba5 you will end up winning a queen in the next move.
True
in second trap what if the white captures om Nd5 instead of e5
In trap 7, around the 13:06 mark, why can’t I throw in a check with white bishop first and save my pawn for later? Wouldn’t I win the queen regardless? Or was this move to win one extra knight?
I think Nf3 blocks it and now your bishop sacrificed for nothing and you lose the pawn
I use the first trap when people play the caro kann against me. I think it's called the Breyer variation.
Wow! Im an amateur 1200
And I can't stop smiling while watching this video!!!
Thanks again! Keep it up.
I'm glad you liked it!
Qh5+, g6, Bxg6+, Kd8, Ba5!
Please can you record a video on how to beat the Ruy Lopez?
Here you are: ua-cam.com/video/_3aYyDUi0Uc/v-deo.html
Thank you!
1.Qh5+,kd8
2.Ba5
Best video ever
got it 1:Qh5+ if g6 Bxg6 then Kd8 then 2:Ba5 wins the Queen
Wow😮
BEST CHESSS TRAPS EVER.🤩
I've used the first trick so mamy times. It always worked.
👍
On trap 7 at 13:15, when the pawn is promoted to a knight, wouldn't most players notice the attack on the king and queen with the bishop and simply return the king to its home square? It would then be hard to save the new knight.
8. Ke1 Qh4+ 9. g3 Qe4+ 10. Be2 Qxh1
Nets you at least a rook, in most cases.
promoting the pawn to a queen would make more sense. It's more brutish but leaves your opponent with no counterplay (2 queens vs 1 or no queen vs 1 queen)
JK he can trade queens
