  Watching the first opening showed me how much of a beginner I really am… 😅

  Personally I don&apos;t like tricks and traps, &nbsp;I enjoy playing positional chess because it allows me to apply &nbsp;the chess principles you thought me in your courses. And that feeling of out playing your opponent positionally is just priceless. Nice one Igor, you&apos;re the best

  for Bishops opening, once knight has the queen/rook fork, once queen moves to h5, wouldn&apos;t pawn to g6 be smarter than castling? you don&apos;t give up the checkmate, and you force the queen to move, giving up the position, and even if a pawn trade occurs, queen is still in jeopardy of bring taken....

  TIL &quot;Icelandic Gambit&quot; is a thing. Is that when a kooky, avant-garde pop singer comes out from the chess board and sings &quot;Big Time Sensuality&quot;??

  Back to chess after a brief, 50 year layoff. &nbsp;These videos by GM Smirnov are invaluable. I may still be hopeless but a lot less hopeless than before watching them. Thank you!

  Opening No. 1 has been a really fun element to add to the repertoire as most players (at my modest level) are, as you suggest, completely unprepared for it. So thanks again for the inspiring work!

  I am a huge fan of the Rousseau gambit it&apos;s what my school teacher taught me when I was first getting into chess. I just find the position hard to play after d4. D3 is boring but fine especially since they try the fried liver attack which basically wins for white in a similar fashion as the bishops opening trap shown in the video
