    I think what I took away from this video is that castling isn't forced! So many people castle in fear of an inevitable attack, when really you can delay castling as white and play these super quick and effective attacking lines! Thanks for the tips Igor!

    Another line to consider is not 12...Nxb4 which clearly loses as shown, but 12...Bxc4. This avoids the loss of a piece, but white is still better after 13.Nxc6...bxc6 14.Qc2...Be6 (14...Bb5?? 15.a4 and now black does lose a piece) 15.Qxc6+...Bd7 16.Qc3.

      I recall a video where Bg5 was a mistake by White, but it was a little different. White had already castled and so Black was able to attack by advancing the kingside pawns.

  • @sayafkhan748
    @sayafkhan748 Před rokem

    All of that is pretty logical except for one point when you push d5 and fork the Be6 and Nc6, can’t the knight just attack your Bc4? I mean yeah you can take the Bishop and the give a check with that pawn but you only win a pawn and an open king.
