  You have been my favorite content creator for years now. I run a chess club in Connecticut and I will be on TV next month teaching chess. The episode has already been recorded and I gave you a shoutout! Igor Nation! <br><br>Anyway, you got me hooked on the Bishop&apos;s Opening, and after studying and playing chess for many years, I finally just competed in my first USCF tournament. I tied for first place in the 1500 and under section with a final score of 4-1! In my last game, vs. a 1485, I played the Bishop&apos;s Opening as White and finished my game in just 12 moves! &nbsp;Happy birthday, and thank you for not just teaching traps, but for helping your subscribers to learn tactical motifs and develop positional understandings as well. You can find the PGN of my Bishop&apos;s Opening tournament game from last weekend below 😁<br><br>1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. d3 Bc5 5. f4 d6 6. Nf3 Ng4 7. Ng5 O-O 8. f5 h6 9. Qxg4 hxg5 10. Bxg5 Qe8 11. Bh6 g6 12. Qxg6+ 1-0

  HAPPY BIRTHDAY IGOR!!! You&apos;re one of the main reasons why I went from 100-1302 in almost a year! Some of it self taught so it was really 1000-1302 but still made me feel like I was a 100 elo player. Again HAPPY BIRTHDAY and thank you for helping everyone!!!🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁
