@NickkRagz Because then black does Bd7, then his queen is protecting his rook and his bishop is attacking white's queen, you also weaken your original attack.
yes but what`s the continuation for white if 6)...e6 actually it looks to me that if black doesn`t do that it`s going to a purty sophisticated endgame...
@rainbowburger Of course you're right ! I calculated quickly and without checking, so when i saw a winning move i didn't look further, forgetting the chess motto ( from Fischer i think) "when u find a good move, look for a better one"
That said my move is completely winning, even though not mating like Qa3
d5 would lead to a checkmate or a queen loss. after ...d5. Nf6+ Ke7 forced. Then white would have Qa3+. Black could only react with c5 which is useless and only prolongs the game. ....Qd6 forced and Qxd6#
@Brahninja because then white checks with Nf6 and when the king moves to e7 then the knight can take on d5. If black takes with the pawn then white plays bishop g5 and blacks down his queen.
@Brahninja d5 loses to Nf6 check, if the Black king moves to e7 then the follow-up move would be Queen to a3 with a check, Black can move his pawn to c5 to block the check but then all White would do is to capture the pawn and what follows is a CHECKMATE :)
Why not answer white's Pe6 with Pf5 to protect the knight on g4? I think this would have been a lot stronger for black than fxe6.
For that matter, taking a half-move back... Instead of white's Pe6, how about exd6? (If black takes back with queen he loses it. If black takes back with pawn, white can respond with Qd2+.)
It is better for white in all lines after g6, but I would suggest 8...d5 and not moving the knight. You will have a worse pawn structure, and probably lose a pawn (for black), but in exchange, you will have the bishop pair. After exf6 and dxc4, then Qe2. What do you think?
@SweatersDotCom because after Qx5 you get the ...Bd7! attacking the queen and defending the rook. You simply lose a tempo by taking. And as you have seen at every point in the game yhere is a far better move;)
@SweatersDotCom the black will just block the queen by bishop at d7 and that really does nothing in attacking you're just going to go back to your position and that's a waste just a waste of move
actually I consulted fritz and it said that its better to play Bg5 to threaten the queen instead of g4 since if you play g4 he could simply push up his d pawn to threaten ur white bishop
Im glad he says Fianchetto properly, in italian the ch gives an english K sound. The world comes from "Fianco" meaning Flank. mAYbe 95% of all chess players who are not italian and of all levels say the world wrong with an english ch sound witch would be a c before e in italian. Ive even seen them spell Fianchetto wrong in chessmaster 10th edition for the same ignorant reason. Shocking among world class chess players to spend so much time on a subject and still err on it's terminology.
@Friendly011982 No, what's shocking is that you give two shits how anyone pronounces fianchetto. Much less post a paragraph on youtube, complimenting someone you've never met, on saying it properly, whilst "educating" us on the etymology of fianchetto. We are ever so grateful to you for relieving us of this ignorance, now we can all be grandmasters because we know the proper pronunciation of feanCHeto.
What a prudish, aspergers havin', pretentious ass you are.
on 2 minutes :) i wold it diferent...if i wold be black...very atacking ..actualy a 3rd option bishop D6 move to D5 so he cant atack yet the F7 that easy he wold defently move bishp or we change later on
@europeanbamf not realy, cause he can simply play Bd7 and make the queen go back. You'd win a pawn with that move, but loose a tempo and that would be enough for black to build up a defense and even tough he'd be down a pawn he'd have better chances than else.
What do you do at 3:20 , if I play d5 as black instead of moving Nh5. Because, ..8. e5 d5, 9. dxf6 dxc4 Problem seems to be solved Because for loose pawn c4 it can easily be protected from Bh6. Since, white doesn't have white bishop and only 1 knight it will be easy to protect the loose pawns.
At 1:03 what should we do if he moves g6 instead of Nc6? I tried to pull this trap online and I got thrown off when he decided to move his pawn instead
@europeanbamf If he moves g6 before he moved Nc6, its simple this trap wont work. THIS TRAP ONLY WORKS IF YOU REACH AN EXACT POSITION AS 2:16. Because g6 before Nc6 is actually an opening called Dragon variation of sicilian. Which is a stronger counter attack for white.
@ikhwansofian Now I see it. The best move for white imo would be then to move the knight to f6 where he can put the king in check. This will buy some time for the bishop's retreat.
its a good trap, but i dont have time to memorise it since i know i will very rarely (if ever) get into the exact position required to do this trap :(
actually at 3:51 white would have a problem if he push the white pawn on e6 cos the black f7 pawn can just capture it and if white bishop responds then the black bishop could just capture it meantime defending the g4 knight... :)
i mean at 1:11 why would he thought of any threat for his f7(black) since, i dont see anything offense for it..the queen cannot move to h5 for check since the horse can eat it..and at 3:49 if i were the black i would start eating the white bishop with the pawn so my pawn will be protected with my black bishop while protecting my horse....6:26 he can aslo put forward his pawn(d6-d5) putting pressure for the white horse and bishop.so theres actually lots of danger on hithis but helpfull too...
when attacking the f7 black pawn, you mentioned that there are two pawns that black can move to block the white bishop. But what about black move Be6? Or maybe except his f file would be open......
The black king is sufficient to defend the f7 pawn if only the bishop is defending against it. There is not much else white can attack with the knight defending h5 and blocking a queen attack from in front. Black does not need to compromise his position at 1:57. You said "there's not much black can do." Well there's everything. Like Jrobi said "There isn't much of a need to defend against the fried liver"
Thank you so much mate, I recently developed a great interest for chess and these vids are really helping me out. Thanks to you and to everyone else that makes these tutorials!!!
It' the Sozin Variation. The Fischer Variation is when black plays 5..a6.variation with 6...g6 isn't an issue. The line after 6...g6 7. Nc6 bc 8. e5 now you give 8..Nh5 and 8..Ng4 not the best moves and your analysis is flawed (sorry but it' the truth) in the 8...Ng4 9. e6 not 9...Be6?? but 9...f5 10. Qd4 Nf6 11. 0-0 Bg7 +/= on 8...Nh5 in the 9..e6 line 10.g4 Ng7 11. Ne4 not 11. Qa5+? 11. Qb6 is best. After 8. e5 blacks best is Nd7 9. ed ed 10. 0-0 +/=. Just thought I'd let u know Nice vid
hey, what if I sacrifice my knight instead of putting my knight on g7 and I push a pawn instead and threaten your bishop on c4. Wouldn't we just start trading piecies?Or would this be a dumb move?
@PraveenAtheray It isnt a wise move by white to play that because black can respond by playing Bd7. White's queen cannot take the rook because black's queen would be then able to defend it.
@kmart1303 dxe5, Bg5 Be7, Nf6+ Bxf6, Bxf6. If black goes with Qa5+ to stall and try to save the knight, then c3 0-0, b4 Qb6/c7, Bxe5 with mate threat in Qf6 later on. If black DOESN'T castle after Qa5+ c3, he either loses knight or Qxc6+ Kf8, Qxa8 pinning Bc8 which can't be defended. dxe5, Bg5 Qc7 or Qb6, Nf6+ Ke7/Kd8, Nd5+ Kd7/e8, NxQ. dxe5, Bg5 Qa5+, c3 Be7, Bxe7 Kxe7 Qf6+. If Kf8, Ng5 Qc7, Bxe6 with mate threat. If black takes back with bishop, Nxe6+ wins either queen or both rooks.
@infiniteV115 dxe5, Bg5 Be7, Rd1 Bd7, Nd6+ either lose queen or get mated. dxe5 Bg5 f6 Nxf6+, black loses queen. dxe5, Bg5 Qa5+, c3 Bb7, Bh6 gets rid of the pesky little knight defending e6 from being taken and opening up the king to even more violent rape. dxe5, Bg5 Qa5+, c3 Bb7 seems to be black's best bet, but with Bh6, black's only notable choices are 0-0-0 (unlikely) and Rd1, which followed by Nf6+ Ke7 Bg5, white can either win rook or pawn and trade knight for bishop.
@infiniteV115 All in all, black has very few options with dxe5, because of this trap. There's just so much pressure, black is going to have a LOT of trouble.
The reason is because yes, although it a free pawn, white has such a dynamic positon, taking just a pawn would, yes gain white material, but in the long run white is much better off if he keeps attacking.
Great question, early on in a game, the two weaknesses on the board are f2 and f7 as they are only defended by the kings and are very vulnerable, esp if there are multiple attacks on the square. The light square bishop attacks the f7 pawn of black and vice versa for the dark square bishop for black. Later on in the game the significance of bishops is determined by pawn structure but in early game that's why.
Can't black equalize if he plays d5 after e4?

You mention that the black bishop is more important early on for black. Why is this?

Great question, early on in a game, the two weaknesses on the board are f2 and f7 as they are only defended by the kings and are very vulnerable, esp if there are multiple attacks on the square. The light square bishop attacks the f7 pawn of black and vice versa for the dark square bishop for black. Later on in the game the significance of bishops is determined by pawn structure but in early game that's why.
