First of all, let's make sure that you are not making these mistakes after 1.e4 as White, and secondly, you will learn how to punish your opponents when they make these opening errors.

These mistakes are extremely common in below 1600 rating level, but even higher rated chess players often make these mistakes and fall for these traps. These mistakes happen after the most common opening moves (in the Italian Game): 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6.

note that most of these moves are objectively equal in the eyes of the engine, however, human players really tend to blunder later on

Beautiful logical step-by-step decision tree demos, as always.

tried that King-side attack from Black several times before giving it up. They never go into the lines here. (But I have gotten some great ideas from this channel.)

[TheSeraphim]

wow…every video has such great information… And then I go and get confused and lose

Thank you

[chess_material]

You teach it as a tree diagram, it made me to understand easily.keep it up. Thanks for free tutorials. I am from india. Happy to see you.

[idoyahel]

Fantastic lesson. An eye opener. Thanks!

[walterbrownstone]

Flipping back and forth between black and white perspectives. Awesome.

[brettkruskie]

Interesting play. I've done it several times but never looked at the position that way. I wonder what a 100 depth would yield on this...

[davidpepin]

These videos are excellent. From a rookie, thank you!

[darrengilbert]

I'm completely new to chess. This video was very helpful in showing some of the options that black has available to play.

[andrewmays]

Love to watch your play while commenting on your "seemingly natural moves".😇

[linkten]

I like this episode, WAY better than opening tricks imo.

[stevesidare]

Very enlightening. I'd like to see these mistakes from the white perspective as well!

[adrianjensen]

Wish i could super love this video
Very much feel you hit the nail on the head with what most people are missing

[CristianJailanderOrozco]

I always do it because the machine told me to do it once and I remember the positions, but never understood the reason. Thanks this was clear and easy even to a low level like me.

[marcoantoniomoralesbeyugo]

Milllions of thanks for these lessons. They are really magnificent.

[kevinbunten]

Thanks for posting this video! I have fallen for a few of these. Never again!
