Bishop's Opening Explained in 15 Minutes [Crash Course]

wow! -- I've just been hit by a bishop tornado... and been lifted into a higher ranking.

what if in Ursov's gambit our opponent plays D5

I wrote down every example you gave and my opponent played g6 on the 4th move. The next opponent played d5 on the 4th move. Wasn't sure the best way to respond in either case.

d4 is no different from gambit pawn.

truly miss your cat in the your older videos😓😓😓
do your cat is ok???

I’ve been playing a guy who always plays 2…BC5…..and then captures with the wrong piece on 3….exd4.

After the ensuing bishop sacrifice he moved his king rather then capture the bishop

He does this everytime so I’ve actually started trying a new opening against him cause it’s a little boring

Which is good! Learning a new opening.

We all know you just found out that people like the way you say BRSHUP!

Thanks for the great video. I've gone from 900 to 1450 rapid playing the Bishop's Opening, thanks to your videos. Nice to see more discussion of it in this video. I'll definitely be studying.

love u my kinggg

ponyyy

What if black plays Bc5 on move 2 playing a symmetrical game?

Wow, Thanks! This is next level stuff. I need to work on my openings for sure!

Now we need to know how to deal with the Bishop's Opening in 15 minutes 😅

my cousin discovered this opening accidentally and he told me about it yesterday, the timing of this post is crazy 💀

Another great video. Do any of your courses contain bishop's opening with exercises and drills?

My favorite opening is getting a crash course! Nice. This is a great addition to the existing Bishop's Opening playlist, which I have studied at least three times! You feature the highest quality content out there, for sure

But what if my opponent defends with a pawn instead of a knight?

i just played chess and all my opponents are playing the bishops opening. crazy

Now i know, what i should have played last week 😀

I just studied your Spanish opening and i instantly gained about 100 elo lol and that in a day. Loveya!

pawn to e-6 seems to completely shut down all these lines

Please make a instructive and useful video about how to DEFEAT 😊😊😊 THE ENGLISH OPENING for elo 1600-1700.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hey GM Igor smirnov I bought your ‘Master The Grunfeld Defence’ course I really went expert in this opening. Thank you for making amazing courses. I have also bought your other books and I found them really good. Please make some other courses on the opening English and Karo Kann I’ll Try To Buy Those Courses As Well. Thanks

Urusov Gambit

Even if you want to transpose into an Italian game using the move order e4, Bc4 takes opponents out of their comfort zone right away and they spend a good amount of time thinking on move 2. I've used this several times and by move 3 I sometimes have a 30+ seconds advantage, which can be crucial later on.

Great video as always! I'm curious how to play the bishops opening against uncommon defenses of black. It's the wild west out here in the 900 to 1000 elo range. Your videos have helped immensely though. Thanks Igor!

bc4 players when i play e6:
cool tho i like to bc4 f4 because kings gambit is reallyfun

In that sample game, black playing Bb4+ was an inaccuracy because it helped white develop their bishop and forced the black bishop to retreat.

Reviving one of the most rare opening that very useful for the beginners.

Crash course on catalan and reti opening too please

I know I am gonna rewatch this video in the future couple more times

The best follow-up after 2) ...Nf6 is 3) Qh5! Then, after 3)... Nxe4, 4) Qxf7 comes from out of nowhere! And look closely--IT'S CHECKMATE!

Please upload one more video for the Owen's Defense!
