In the world of chess, openings can be a critical battleground. One common opening mistake that many players make can lead to quick and unexpected defeats. In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you a common chess opening mistake and show you how to capitalize on it as both Black and White.
It happens in one of the most common chess opening positions after the moves 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bc4, White intending to develop their pieces naturally. This is where the fun begins! Black can take advantage of White's setup with a simple yet powerful tactic: 4...Nxe4! This move temporarily sacrifices a knight but sets up a sneaky trap.

Lol! clearly you are on the Black side as white plays first!

@Zywl 10 ай бұрын

can you do a video explaining the traxler counterattack and what to do if white captures on f7 with the bishop instead of the knight?

@Dubanx 10 ай бұрын

Yup. I've had tons of fun pulling the center fork trick on inexperienced players. The number of 1500-2000 players who just freeze up, clearly not expecting the pawn fork is quite hilarious.

Can you cover a very tricky opening: 1.e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3.Nf3 Nxe4 4.Nc3 [For example after Nxc3 dxc3 the first and third most popular moves are blunders!]

Black can also pull off a very similar tactic against a Vienna Game with e4 e5 Nc3 Nf6 Bc4, the Stanley Variation. Black can play Nxe4, with the idea of Nxe4 d5, gaining the piece back. However, unlike all of the variations mentioned in this video, White can seriously complicate things with Qh5, and this is what is played at the top level, going into some of the craziest, most complicated variations in all of chess.

I'm amazed by this. I knew how to play chess since i was 10 but never really had anyone to teach me more than just how the pieces move. 10 years later I'm finally getting good.

There is a nice/ugly trap in the Bxf7 line: I quote from one of my books (teaching material for coaches, hence the Q&A and sidelines): Lushcott,V. - Fletcher,Alan Linnell New Zealand Champs (59th) (5) 29.12.1951 [Assorted Blunders] 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nc3 Nc6 This Opening has transposed from a Petroff after move 2 to a Four Knights. What would you play with White here? 4.Bc4? looks very logical, but is a mistake. Do you know which tactic leads to Black advantage? [ 4.Bb5 is the Spanish Four Knights, one of the main lines. ] [ 4.d4 leads to the Scottish Four Knights, which is also a main line. ] 4...Nxe4 5.Bxf7+ [ 5.Nxe4 d5 6.Bd3 dxe4 7.Bxe4 Bd6 is better, but still gives Black some advantage in Development. ] 5...Kxf7 6.Nxe4 d5 7.Neg5+ Kg8 [ 7...Ke8 is not as good, as the King should not stay in the middle of the board. ] 8.c3 e4 9.Nxe4 has White just lost a Knight? Yes, but Black can't win it by playing 9...dxe4?? [ Black had to pin the Knight first with 9...Qe7 (Qe8 also works) and after e. g. 10.0−0 dxe4 11.Qb3+ Qe6 ] as 10.Qb3+ is a Mate in 2.

This is the Italien Four Knights Game, not a mistake. For example: Tarrasch Lasker Berlin 1916

Hello igor, a great video from a great "grand master" like you. I do really enjoy every "tactic" you explain sonce "life is so good" as you say. Techincally speaking, the last 3 minutes of the video, your tactic seemed to be the famous "ruy-lopez" method... is it right?? Best regards & have a pleasant day.

I play the Evans gambit a lot and fall back to the Giuoco Piano, among others, if they don't go for it. The opening is frequently devastating and wicked aggressive. It also breaks a lot of the "rules". However that gives a strong reason for white to play Bc4 starting the Italian. Learning this does require avoiding the fork you're talking about if they twist things around enough. It would be an interesting video on alternative responses for black to avoid that kind of onslaught as most low level players lose to it.

@leagueaddict8357 10 ай бұрын

Instead of taking the knight in the center you can first sacrifice your bishop so that the opponent can't fork your knight and bishop.

Why does white not capture bishop at f3 with pawn from g2, ie not knight from g1?

@dsrree 10 ай бұрын

I often find myself in these positions but I always seem to attack with the wrong pieces. I need to get it drilled into my head that it's okay to sacrifice the queen if doing so puts me at an even stronger advantage like at 4:40
