Yeah his Englund Hartlaub video (1. ... e5!, dxe5? 2. d6!! exd6?? 3. Bxd6!!!) has netted me a nearly 59%W/33%L rate with black looking at my lichess stats in that set of moves. It's an absolutely mad opening.

Igor thank you for your hard work. You’re my favorite coach. Please make a video on the Benoni

Imma tell you guys. Old Benoni with immediate c5 is better because you don't need to learn trompowsky or anti-londons yet you still have the same traps. You can have pleasant position OR go to the benko gambit OR blumenfeld countergambit

After D4 C5 d5 what do you play?

@jedrekpobocki7534

Ай бұрын

@@jorglueke8458 Well you can play flexible with Nf6 or just get into main line old benoni with d6. After Nf6 the best move is c4 so you can go b5 and if they decline with Nc3 you can go with e6. That's Blumenfeld. Generally they all share almost the same setup. Fianchetto your bishop, castle kingside, knights to f6 and d7, go e6 one moment and in old benoni just go for b5 break. If they play Nc3 instead of c4 you play old benoni

a2-a4 is the Benko killer, creating a dangerous passed pawn and preserving Nc3 or Be2 to b5 options.

great video Igor! Its a fun gambit to play against 1. d4. 15:20: "All of a sudden black rushed into this hasty attack on the kingside". Hasty isn't the word you want. Generally hasty means too early or poorly prepared which isn't the case here.

1:56 they always play Nc3, so continuation is axb5

15:55 Re2 is the best move according to SF. In fact, the only move to not lose. Give back the material to escape death.

@11:15 after Qxa2 (that only takes back the pawn) Ra1 forces to trade the queen for 2 rooks and " white is down " is not so easy. I play gambits when it gives an advance in developement. Here it's not the case.

I really like your lesson Igor...👍🙏

I also can't see how can you recover, because after Ra1, Qxb3; QxQ, RxQ; RxR with check and you are down a rook. Can anybody explain what I'm not seeing?

Igor you’re my fav

I was going to say that this is the Benko gambit, but then you mention it.

But what do you do when they won’t capture the (second) gambit pawn on b5?

White has a few good systems against the Benko. You don’t see many super GMs lay it at classical time controls. I am guessing that it doesn’t have the highest win rate when you strip out weak players.

Benko for the win! Og opening

Please video about how to analyse in chess

Amaizing strategy, I think I try similare moves!

It's a beautiful game

@11:18 Ra1 forces the Q for 2 Rooks trade no? ...Qxb3? Looks like a blunder there

Igor, get the bags

“Highest win rate opening” I’m about to bring down the average 50%

Minute 5.50 would the ba6 to c4 not better in stead of wasted move on black knight wasting moves

Amazing!!! My friend will cry when I use it against him.😂

If white play b6 then black is cramped with his c8 bishop. Shirov had a game on video on you tube showing how to play white without accepting the gambit

@euclideszoto997

Ай бұрын

That's the reason why the Benko is hardly played anymore. B6 just destroys the Benko's nature of the defense.

Stockfish always hates gambits 🗿

I really, actually, truly believed in good faith that Magnus Carlsen would explain ANYTHING in this video. I was all in for some awkward stuttering but I was disappointed badly. As a Gotham subscriber I can't really explain or justify why I still believe in thumbnails tho

White's idea is usually to trade light-squared bishops, play a4, b3, and Nb5, and blockade Black's open file while vacating pieces from the long diagonal. After neutralizing Black's pressure, they can strive for the e5 break.
