Owen defense for balck part 3
Excelente.!!! Gracias.!!!
Re8 pins the pawn??
Does it work at 2000 lvl?
Re8 maybe
Three candidate moves Re8 (as others have mentioned) but also Qe8 and Qe7. Not sure which is best.
The solution is simply Bxe5. If they take with the knight, you can capture the queen and if Queen takes E5 there is rook e8 and the queen can't move. The way for white to try to win a piece is to exchange queens but there is the in between move bishop takes C3. I can not see a way out. Thank you for the video I think I'll enjoy this line!🎉
1. … Bxe5, then if 2.Nxe5 Qxd4 wins. If 2.Qxe5 Re8 wins. And if 2.Qxd8 Bxc3+ wins a pawn.
Bright 🍬 🤩
Bishop takes pawn is an option but you can also pin the pawn 1st with the rook
you move the rook and pin the pawn to the king @11:00
I'm only 1200 ELO & my opponent's never play moves that obviously hang a piece, lose the queen or give an easy checkmate 😭
this will work only below 1400-1500! 😑
70%? So finally i can increase my elo!
Nice. Pretty sure I've fallen to this more than once.
Very good lesson as always but as many other opening its very hard to memorize and to apply concretely the line..depend on what the other player do and if you remember correctly the theory…in practice it's very often something orhers..But anyway nice lesson and suggestion as always…thank you
I love your teaching videos! So clear, memorable and helpful. thank you!
what if black takes your bishop with the b pawn instead of the d pawn?
Best move for black on the 5th move is 5……., Qd6?
puzzle queen e7 pinning the pawn and after castle bishop c5 counter attacking the queen and then save the knight
epic. great advice
for the puzzle: Black pawn c5?
1… Bxe5 2.Qxd8 Bxc3+ 3.bxc3 Rxd8
At 3:00, why can't white do this . 1 castle, 2. Pin the piece with the rook to win it back?
Wow! Thanks a lot Igor for showing me that I can play Ruy Lopez, which I earlier always have denied! 😊👍♟
Hi sir I'm from India. Can I get the membership certificate from your REMOTE CHESS ACADEMY.
What happens if black replies with a knight on e7 after bishop b5?
1) Bxe5 2) Qxe5 re8… Queen is pinned… That's why e5 is blunder
Could you make a video about how to attack someone who is doing nothing? Like if they already played their setup and are just shuffling their pieces back and forth, waiting to get a reaction from you.
Igor I watch your video always and it has improved my games alot. I would love to see your analysis on the king's Gambits game I always lose playing it thank you GM. IGOR
After e5 and Re8 probably Bf4 and afterwards after Ng4 for white O-O-O. So I think that e5 is possible.
Very good video again. You are practically the only GM /chess youtuber, besides the fellow from The chess for the Soul – in Russian language/ whom I am watching. Thanks for your work. I am more than 70 years old so I will not make the hollow to the Earth in the chess branch. I am greeting you.
OMG, 1 day ago. Just when I needed it the most! Gonna play this in the tournament tomorrow.
I need some advice how to play faster!
Doesn't Re8 really set up many winning possibilities for Black instead..?? Of course, if White then counters with Bf4, it's a completely new "exchange match" for Black to initiate…😮
As black, I'd play d5 first.
Whatever you accent is, I love it
POV: Realizing you have played one of this guy's students with Black
Its interesting but seems to work just at low level games. How can white mix things after 5.f6 or 5.Qd6?
after e5, bxe4, qxe5 and re8 simply pins the queen to the king and you lose your queen
sir I'm 800… Please help me out in complex endgames
Bxe5
what if at the beginning after Bishop takes knight. they retake with B7 pawn instead of the D pawn?
How Do I Become Ur Student?
