  I really like to hear GM Igor whenever he says “It’s time for your opponent to resign.” It boosts my confidence as a novice. 😂

  I was reading the Magnus Carlson stuff at the start and thought &quot;this looks faked&quot;

  Love his Gambit. I&apos;ve been playing it for quite some time. The variations with the early queen look interesting.

  As a Vienna player these lines were very easy to understand… in fact I’m surprised it all still works down a tempo. Cool stuff!

  Two great trappy openings from Igor that are worth learning are the Rousseau Gambit and the Portsmouth Gambit!
