In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov talks about one of his most favourite chess openings for White, which is the Bishop's Opening happening after 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4.
This opening comes with a lot of attacking ideas and deadly traps for White. Very often, Black's most natural-looking moves and the most played moves lose the game for them very badly.
In this video, you will learn some really cool traps and winning ideas for White after Black responds with 2...Nf6.

    I mean if they bring their other knight out, it's just two months defence in the Italian. And anything else you just take the centre with d4. Both these lines if they do anything other than what's suggested it's like plus 3 or 4 to white and if you need it up just analyse the game and learn from it

    Yes, after knight e5 black can't mimic anymore, but that doesn't mean it has to castle short next move - could also play the Busch-Gas-gambit and go out with the other knight, simply ignoring white's threat of infiltrating on f7 - there are still promising lines to treat that!

    Answer for puzzle: 1. Nd6+, Bxd6 or cxd6 2. Bg6 ✅ - 📌 pinning the Queen Reason for knight to d6 check is for the royal fork, forcing black to focus on the current threat of the knight threatening the king itself and the queen, while at the same time we are a step ahead, because the bishop resting on d3 is now free to go to g6 to pin the queen to the king. So by the time black finishes reacting to the immediate threat of the royal fork by taking the knight with the pawn on c7 or with the bishop resting on f8, it's too late to save black's queen, since our light-squared bishop can freely move to g6, and more or less, the game is over.

    (Nd6+, Bxd6, Bg6) pins and wins the queen. Note: If you are a beginner, watch out for the false refutation (Rg8!?) appearing to counter-pin the bishop to your queen. Check is your trump card here (Bxf7+) this forces the black to either step aside (to d8, e7, or f8, which loses immediately to (Qxg8) or play (Kxf7) which loses the tempo and allows (Qc4+) skewering the King to the rook. For more fun, (Kf8) is the only move which doesn't lose the rook immediately, but after (Bh6+) black is left deciding if he's going to give up the rook (and a LOT more) anyway with (Ke8 or Ke7) or try the better looking (Rg7)... which leads to a forced mate in 5 with: (Qg4) as the rook is pinned, double attacked, and black has NOTHING to defend it with. Their entire position is passive and crumbling. (h3) may attempt to distract you, but the threat is an illusion. (Qxg7+), (Ke8) forced, (Qg8+), (Ke7) forced, (Bf8+), (Kd8) forced, (Bxd6#) checkmate. Never forget the power of check.

    You start off with 1.e4 e5, 2.Bc4 Nf6, 3.Nf3 Bc5, 4.Nxe5 - black could now plays 4...Nc6, if white responds with 5.Nxc6, he's basically playing into a Stafford Gambit. If white plays either 5.Bxf7+ or 5.Nxf7, he's basically playing into a Traxler Counterattack. Basically, the game has become a variation of the Busch-Gass Gambit. Maybe I missed it, but it seems you never address 3...Nc6 which transposes from a Bishop's Opening to a Two Knights Defense.

    I’m a fairly new player, but when I watch the part about trapping the black queen, how is the queen trapped? Wouldn’t black just play knight Nf6 again? Then white exf6, then gxf6. Now you have a black pawn attacking the bishop and the queen is perfectly safe until there can be another attacker against the f6 square? Is there some combination I am missing?

    Just transpose into the Two Knights with 3...Nc6 if it's part of your repertoire after 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6. Or in the Boden-Kieseritsky line (which he refers to as a Stafford reversed) after 8.f5 of course not 8...g5?? but rather 8...Qg7 and Black retains his pawn advantage and has consolidated. ...g5 should only be played after 9.fxg6 hxg6 10.Qg4 Kd8 (protects the bishop on c8 and thus threatens ...d5) 11. Qg3 and NOW 11...g5. This GM is NOT doing amateurs any favors by showing them SHIT openings.

If you want to play a Bishops Opening gambit then play the Urusov which is way more principled. OTOH finding these errors makes good homework exercises for my students. 😉
