  Thank you, I finally won against a Wayward Queen attack today. I think it&apos;s such a greedy opening trying to capitalize on an inexperienced player and deserves to be punished. I didn&apos;t remember the whole &nbsp;sequence you showed, but I remembered a few of the knight positions and ended up winning messily later thanks to them.

  Thank you so much. My friend has already know to play Wayward Queen correctly, but I don&apos;t think he would know this surprising line.

  Igor is hands down the best chess instructor in YouTube. &nbsp;He gives excellent advice which I have used to my advantage and my opponents detriment many times.

  Just had two games in a row facing this. I lost the first game but forced the kid to surrender the second game. I’m not sure how I did it but I know I slowed down and that allowed me to defend. Not as good as this video does but good enough to force him to blunder his queen and then resign.
