Nd5 attacking the Queen. If Queen takes bishop, Nc7 giving check and forking the Queen. 🤓🤪🙌🏼 thank you for your videos GM Igor! Very good and applicable 🙏🏼

You're such a great CHESS Teacher! I always learn something new everytime I watch your videos which eventually improve my ways of playing the game. A huge thanks for all of your content. Please continue to post more videos in future.

God bless you always and more power Sir Igor.

Just a request, can you feature the "COLORADO GAMBIT" on your next video? Thanks in advance.

Nice video of Scandinavia defence of both black and white

Nd5 is the best move, if Qxb5 then Nxc7 family fork. if Qa5 then b4 and the queen is trapped

[davidcovington]

"Indy Five" is my mnemonic.
This is the most evil chess video I have ever seen. Thank you!

[darrylkassle]

[sionchannel]

1. Nd5 Qxb5

[jmartinknoll]

0:28 Qa5
2:17 Qd8

[Martin_Neal]

15:18 Nd5, if Qxb5; then Nxc3 is a 3-way fork!!

[AnandSharma-ubvf]

Nd5 is the best move,
if Qxb5 then Nxc7 family fork,
if Qa5 then proceed with the initial plan Bxc6

[kipropkiplangat]

W. Nd5. If Black Queen goes back A5. White pawn B4 queen traped

[illegalmuseumxylopiment]

thanks for all it's great every time!! Can you one day make a video about the budapest gambit please!! ; )

[alexanderroberts]

In trap one… what do I do if after queen takes the gambit pawn, it goes to C5 instead of A5?

[aperson]

In the position with the draw by repetition couldnt you trade queens and then use the knight to fork

[ianleicester]

igor, have you any videos showing how to use a chess engine ? i have downloaded stockfish. but can just play a game on it ? nothing telling me the best moves etc ? hope you can reply love your channel, ian uk.

Knight to D5, letting the black queen with the option to take our white bishop, and then knight to C7 forking Queen and King.
