Black's best reply, which is not considered in this video, is
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. a3 d5 5. exd5 Nxd5

[@Barbutt]

Crafty scores 5.exd as -0.26… after 5 mins calculating scores 5. Bb5 -0.12
👍

[@Black-Jf]

He was just correcting the amateurs move of black because many players of black in this variation always play that move, maybe he want to change it or to find another variations of it as black..

Your command of English idioms is superb, sir, nearly at the level of your chess! Thank you for such clear examples of superior chess, even as you promote your livelihood.

[@thestratilosopher42]

Thanks for the fun content! Would you be willing to do one on what you find to be the most persistent line of transitional traps? Meaning, if they decline, there's a chain of other traps to follow up or transition the position to viable lines or other trap positions?

[@DavidMcAsey-px4mo]

привіт Igor, thank you for the excellent videos! Would you consider doing a rating climb video/series?

[@tgrbell]

I second this enthusiastically

[@vivekdahiya9297]

That pawn avalanche reminds me the movie 300 when spartans force the enemies off the cliff.

[@Nayadaur11]

Great tactics Wow🔥🔥😍😍

[@luvanalexander7246]

as black, after the knigh check, ill play c6 for that dark square diagonal for the queen to check the king, and opponents have blundered mat a few times

[@bangkok_as_is]

used similar tactics, just won against a 1,250 rating opponent, feels so good, first timer here, thanks for the video

[@lougaru2445]

Of course .. you can bait them into the fork trick! Why can't I think of this

What about 4...d5!? Perhaps a second video?

[@Black-Jf]

He was just focusing on the weak moves of black so that many players will turn their ways of playing by using the 4... d5 or find another variation of 4...Bc5, he was just helping the weak opening..

[@volatiledawn5888]

What to do if they Bb4 right after your second knight?

[@Black-Jf]

Thanks Igor, it's my opening..

i like your videos on chess a lot, but you can avoid using the word 'evil' while explaining the game.

[@labestianegra6373]

That's an evil comment.
