🔹 4 Quick Checkmates In The Bishop’s Opening - • 4 Quick Checkmates In ...
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you an interesting chess opening, the Bishop’s Opening, which happens after the following moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4. It is not a very popular opening line (compared to 2.Nf3 or 2.Nc3), nevertheless, it’s perfectly sound as you’re developing a piece and taking aim at the Black’s f7-pawn.
Additionally, by playing the Bishop’s Opening, you are dragging your opponent out of his/her opening preparation. Therefore, you can use this opening weapon to surprise your opponents. Most importantly, there are a lot of interesting aggressive and attacking lines that you can follow up with!

Not sure
i try it i got crashed in a very easy mode comPuter
What about when Black plays pawn to B5 to attack Bishop? That's always what computer does when I play. against.
No 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
1:05 - First variation (black bishop mirrors)
8:45 - Second variation (Queen's Knight)
13:55 - Third variation (King's Knight - most common response)
Thank you
I don't understand how there's only 3? I'm at minute 7.36 and I feel like I saw 3 different variations already bc he cleared the board 3 times. Or was that all still considered 1 variation. Also also is a variation also called a "line"
@@jlstudiopro2974 From what I understand, a variation is characterized by the opponent's first responding move after your opening. In this case, white's 1.e4 and 3.Bc5 characterizes the Bishop's Opening. So black's second move is what will define which variation is being played.
And for every move you make there will always be some corresponding sequences of moves that would be considered the "best" or more common replies/continuations. These sequences/continuations are called lines.
So you could say that there are many possible lines for each variation.
I hope I'm not saying bs here. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.
theres just so many ways to deal with different things which makes me forget everything i try to learn haha
Problem is you need to practice to memorise, but to practice you rely on your opponent making the right moves you want to practice for, and if they don't you play a whole game before you get another shot at it
You’ve described how I feel exactly
I hear you brother.
Yaaaaa me to
Great #sbchesz
I reached 1300 only by knowing the first 3 moves of this opening, and now I will master it completely with your help 😊
Notice that in one variation Qxd4 is wrong as black wins a tempo, but later this tempo isn't anything to worry about. It's wonderful that the rules-of-thumb change depending on what gives you the advantage.

Another thing with the bishop's opening, you can transpose to a reversed Petrov, therefore play also a reversed stafford gambit if you are familiar with Eric Rosen
That's one of the good ideas indeed!
Thank you! You are a great teacher, I have developed my understanding of chess from your videos, and thanks to you I´m not stuck anymore and chess is fun again :) May God be with you and your fellow countrymen in Ukraine, and may God bless you and bestowe peace upon you. Our hearts are crying
I’ve been running this opening for decades and have now picked up a few more tricks. Thank you!
I might give this bishop opening a serious try!

This is the most important video to watch. And probably the best I have watched online. Hats off. After all he is GM
Awesome video, just like all of them - my biggest problem is to remember everything 😂
Thank you! Loved this!!
Awesome, I have learn so much from your videos. You are the only one I care to follow bc of how you explain easy and in a calm manner. Kudos.
🙏
I've watched this video about ten times and just won my first game with this system in 22 moves. I really like it. Thank you very much.

Lmao gg
What if …e5 doesn’t happen right away?
Then you're in another opening
But you can later transpose to the Bishop's opening depending on your opponent's moves
Then God help us all
Awesome tutorial, thank you for the moves 👍👍👍
Simply a lovely chess opening Sir Igor! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊✌️
Thanks for all of your chess-lessons. With your help I managed to improve my Lichess-rating up to 2000. Sincerely GdN
I like your idea brother...i use that Bishop opening all the time but now i see the idea
Good luck implementing these ideas! :)
Great video! Thanks
Thank you so much!!! I love this!!!
What are the best ideas after the most popular reply 1 e4 e5 2 Bc4 Nc6 3 Nc3 Nf6 4 d3 Na5?
Hello GM Igor Smirnov - Thank you for the videos. Your teaching style is at the right pace and rhythm .Thanks for slowing down for others.
Glad you like them!
Thank you Igor. I used to play a lot just over 20 years ago. But life got in the way. I want to get back into the game. Funny how I used to know these lines and how I have forgotten them. Thank you for the refresher 😎👍
Welcome back!
I am a recreational chess player and a beginner, I mostly play to spend time with friends in a tough competition who will pay for a beer (several of them) when we play together in a local "war". 2 months ago I started playing on the internet and using these tips I got a few games from opponents who are rated much higher than me, and with stronger players I bothered them a lot in the opening..I remember it was said that Capablanca intentionally lost from fishermen and used such a trap in the attack on the title. It's good that we have You tube we don't have to go fishing

Thanks for sharing the story!
Nice,been using this opening for a while now,this will help thanks
Great job, as always.
Fantastic analyses! Thanks! 😀👍♟
just great! Thank you!
Thank you very much for an excellent explanation of the traps in the Bishop's opening
Glad it was helpful!
I normally bring out my bishop like this although I recognize that the bishop is more useful to me near the end game since they are fewer pieces on the board. I like having my bishops available for long diagonals rather than relying on my knights short hopping coverage of the board. It’s a compromise for me based on my opponent’s response . Interesting analysis. Thanks
Yeah, snipers are good for quick tactics but they're killer in an endgame. Especially if you have the pair 👍
I'm glad that you've found it helpful!
This looks interesting. I will try this. Thanks!
You are a brilliant teacher Sir.
Thank you Mr. Smirnov.
Great information!
Lovely analysis i enjoyed
Thank you for sharing great opening moves
Thank you. This was an incredible lesson. Please create more videos like this explaining other openings in the same way.
Excellent video, thanks
Thank you very much, I love this Opening/ your suggestion so much.
I'm glad you like it
Excelentt! Thank you so much! Instructional!
Watching ir for the third time in a matter pf teo weeks. I must say, it’s pretty substantial and worth it. Great job Smyslov
Glad you enjoyed it!
thx gm
Thanks man, these tactics work so well and are easy to learn.
I did try this Bishops- opening with a friend of mine. He started to play the sicilian defence after my e2-e4 anyway i won. Heres the coordinates: 1. e4 c5 2. Bc4 e6 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. O-O a6 5. d4 cxd4 6. Nxd4 Nxd4 7. Qxd4 b5 8.
Bd3 Bb7 9. Nd2 Qb8 10. Nf3 Qd6 11. Qe3 Qc5 12. Qf4 f5 13. Be3 Qd6 14. exf5 Nf6
15. fxe6 Qxf4 16. exd7+ Kd8 17. Bxf4 Bxf3 18. gxf3 Bc5 19. Rad1 Bd4 20. c3 Bxc3
21. bxc3 h5 22. Rfe1 b4 23. cxb4 a5 24. Bb5 axb4 25. Re8+ Nxe8 26. dxe8=Q# 1-0
That’s the Bowdler Attack, and it’s pretty bad for White. He must have blundered at some point. I too lost to the Bowdler Attack most recently, so it must be a very sharp, though dubious opening for white.
Love your content! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
This is good to know. Thank you
Thank you 👍
Very helpful
I like the way you teach us how to play chess. Very simple and easy to understand... Thanks brother
Thanks really tricky and helpful thanks for the video again
Fantastic explanation. Thanks for sharing.
great video igor!
Interesting👍 thanks
It's a really powerful opening indeed !
I tried it recently in a couple of rapid games for the first time and it worked.
I won both of them, even if I had to sacrifice some pieces.
Very interesting and helpful !
Thank you, Igor for this Video chess class !
Well done! Keep it up!
congrats in a good if not great video..once again very well explained...thank you very much so much....
Thank you
I get charged up after watching these videos and loose miserably while playing 🤣🤣
Lol
No way you can loose in chess. You can lose, however.
@@antoniomontana5778 wow best move
Me tpo 😂
😂😂😂
Nice to see someone who actualy knows what is he talking about
You are an excellent player and teacher, thank you, Igor!
Very cool. I learned chess from an app called Dr wolf. Gave me a little knowledge to basey game play around. Developing my bishop before knights is a common tactic I use.
I also figured my choices throw people off from the queens gambit or.kings gambit most people open with. I develop a triangle that locks a bishop as a defender but frees the other up along with the queen. A quick castle ....... if it doesn't seem dangerous and I'm fully developed and ready to start making.intelligent piece trades , taking outposts, "after I built my bishop a safe home base" then I use knights to confuse the opponent and catch them off guard. If I can get a rook , rook ,queen open file it's usually gme ending.. still learning. Only started playing.the day before christmas
I have also been challenging myself by purposely falling behind and playing catch up against online opponents. I sat a goal. Checkmate using rook king, or other things. Today was Rook practice
Just a wonderful, fresh new idea in the ancient game of chess! Thank you so much Mr. Smirnov!
Hello GM Igor Smirnov. Recently found your channel and I’m really enjoying all content, thanks sir for your enlightenment! Could you please share link to your other video referenced here, the one about how for white (or black) to properly defend against the bishop pins in general (or on his black g5 knight as in this review)? Thanks in advance as I just couldn’t locate after quick search, you have sooo many videos felt like finding “needle in the haystack” lol. Cheers!
Thank you for making this video and teaching the bishops opening my opponents were all shocked seeing my moves and started thinking in the first two moves
Edit- Won against many high rated opponents using the bishops opening
That Last variation is venomous...Can't wish that on my worst enemy
Awesome videos thanks
Best Chesschanel ever. Thx.
thnx for this
Good stuff!
Amazing breakdown
I have followed other instructors but I find yours the best. Thank you.
Great to hear!
Thank you so much for these video.. i'm on my 2nd week of learning chess and i can see there are improvement because sometimes i won the game..
Thanks very useful moves
Wow; I know I wouldn't last long against you Grandmaster! Thank you for posting.
Thanks for sharing these marvelous ideas in Chess to gain advantages and ultimately win games. I LIKE THEM!!!
Im new to chess and this is how i trained myself to open
A lot of interesting points I guess it took you awhile to learn all these helpful pointers it’s definitely an advantage to have this kind of knowledge than try to rely on own instincts Thanks
Wonderful video! Thank you for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks really enjoyed the video powerful move
Igor is hard to beat!!!...succes
Thanks!
I see this opening in every game and I learned how to counter it kinda well. Just castle queen side and push knight to pins and I’ve been winning lots of games that way. Btw I’m 1500 elo so pretty intermediate level
how long did you take to reach 1500 from ground up? like 6 months, 1 year, 2 years? Thanks for your reply..
@@humungous09 8 months for me to reach 1600
Great video! Just subscribed, I applied this opening, and earned me some wins :)
Thank you sir 😍
