Is it possible to make a complete course just on the Qe2 Ruy Lopez? I am looking at taking it seriously, so looking for courses on that, the two knights attack on the French at a level that would be respected, and the side lines, but those two are most important. I was also wondering if you can do individual positional concepts listed in your GM positional understanding course. It has a list of ideas for positional concepts, but there isn't any book or more importantly any video courses on them expanding on the individual subjects. Thanks for any answer.

Sir, you're a great teacher. You dont just simply tell the moves. You also tell the reasons , logics and visions behind them. You're a great GM. Would love to see your rating goes up even more and you compete in big tournaments. Respect.

yeah theres another channel that gives all the theory but no explanation which is a trade off

I appreciate your going over the main lines in Ruy Lopez, and in proving them with the computer's analysis. But, especially, the optimism! Makes chess fun even if I lose, in trying these cool new moves out. Don't worry about anyone commenting that these are not All Possible moves! How silly to expect that.

Nice video 👍

Interesting 👍

A few days ago, I used the trap in this video at Lichess and I won! Really helpful! Thank you for this great video! :D

really good as i always end up taking the knight when i play the ruy. i like doubling up pawns then attacking them later

the cat sleeping is so cute

Very upstandind moves

I'm a Chess player from the Philippines. Ruy Lopez is my first opening I learned and used to play during my highschool days 💖

Amazing share

Thank you Igor,could you make a Video about the sicilian ? What thé plan for black,ans so?

You covered the Morphy Defense and the Berlin Defense, but I just as often encounter the Steinitz Defense or the Delayed Steinitz Defense.

It's good to learn ideas,attacking plans

Nice 👍

If this is not the best tutorial video, then I don't know what is! Thank you!

Hi Igor. Vey helpful video. Applied it when playing. Most of my opponents - after black retreats with knight to f6 and I play Sxe5 - play Be7. Can you show in a video how to beat this?

@majanielsen2480

Yeah this is where i’m getting hung up as well

I like this debut

Love the video friend, quick question. Why not Qe2 at 4:25?

Could you please make more detailed videos on kings gambit variations. Your previous kings gambit videos doesn’t cover many potential moves from black

This is badass

I won't remember a thing but damn I had so much fun watching this

The anastasia check mate is brilliant😈😈👏

Absolutely fantastic variation to take black out of book and comfort zone!

That animation for kicking the knight at 1:47 cracked me up so much

How about the drawing line or the ruy with bc5 instead of be7 ( I think it’s called the moller)( I think I saw a knight checkmate with it once)

11:41 if black plays bishop h4 then how are you delivering a checkmate? Eventually you will still end up in a winning position cause you get a queen and a bishop for a rook after all the trades are done right? Is there something I can't see?

5:05 He sacrifices.... THE QUEEN!!!!!!

thank u grandmaster igor my eyes can believe what i am seeing. chess is not for the timid that for show.

At 0:24 how do you continue if black moves knight to D4?

Super traps

Hello Igor. I'm a relative beginner, only been playing online for a year or so, and my rating has been between 950-1050 most of the time. I was just making it up as I go along, trying to learn from my mistakes, and watching what others did. I happened to watch a few of your videos over the weekend, and I watched your free masterclass last night, which I found to be interesting and easy to grasp the main concepts, so I do recommend that video to anyone. I played a few games after watching the video, and was much more attacking in my play, a bit more creative too, I could feel my thought process was different, that I had a strategy of sorts. So, I thank you for the free masterclass, and I am sure that my rating will edge upwards now, but more importantly, I will be enjoying the games more, because (as you say) attacking is always great fun. One other thing, down at this rating level, people don't play that many standard moves, and especially they appear to defend with pawns a lot, which can frustrate my efforts. Best wishes to you, and thanks again. (Oh, please check my own website, with some handy tips for the next decade....2malachi dot com, especially the proclamation).

I don't know english very well, but your videos are really good and helpfull for me. Pozdrawiam 😊

I like this trap..

@4.31 Can anyone please explain.... How can he castle when bishop is there.

4:08 after Re1 back, the engine does not think White is still winning (+1.2 instead of +4.0 with d4)

Honestly, they way you explained got me from 500 to 800 in 2 weeks. I mean, I improvise if I see a blunder. Thank you! Any good videos for black?

What to do when they develop the king side knight on their first move attacking your center pawn before you can get into a castled position?

if you want to lose your games, listen to this guy!!

Igor Smirnov da god

why on berlin defense, black defend with bishop e2? what if black defended with e2, our rook cannot take the knight e5, and it seems to be more optimal, how do we deal with that?

If black can force the Ruy Lopez b6 bishop back w a7 and b7 pawn advances to b3 diagonal, can the game then be considered the Italian game, and then black can use, say, the Rousseau Gambit defense p-f5?

13:40 what do you do if white takes the knight on c6

I think I just hit the 10.000 like - wtf! Well deserved and thanks for the lessons!

I’m new to chess but at min 11:42 looks like move 13 you say it’s checkmate no matter what black player does. what if black moves bishop to h4. I can only get a draw to occur. Thx love your videos.

@kowskizury

Жыл бұрын

Yeah I guess you're right but then you take with rook and the black queen has to take back. Then white takes the queen and its no longer checkmate but you're up a queen

What's the name of that app

Evens Gambit!!!!

this is the first time I've ever seen the Anastasia's mate and wow, I think I've found my favorite checkmating pattern

what if black move pawn a6 at the very beginning ?

Bro just wise!!

wow

Yeah, Ruy Lopez is kinda tricky and that's why it's my favorite opening, even against high level bots. Just a mistake from black can easily get destroyed pawn's structure and it leads to advantages to white

Thank you, Grandmaster Igor. Now, I will crush my opponents with Ruy Lopez, along with other methods that I still don't remember, as you don't suggest remembering. What to do, we are all mere mortals, not a GM.

Very well explained. I try to follow them but my opponent wants to eat everything whatever it finds in the way.😬

What if at 11:42 bh4? And if Rook takes there is f6 and there won't be any mate. (I now I am late with this comment, because the video was posted a year ago)
