Hi Chesswebsite! At …
Hi Chesswebsite! At 7:11 I’m wondering how white would play after black bxf2+ and then Qf6+? Is this a good scenario? I hope that you answer. I really like your videos. Thanks

Kevin, perhaps you could analyse the variation:
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. d4 exd4
4. Nxd4 Qf6
This is actually the variation I prefer most from Black, since it gives me the flexibility of taking with the Q if 5. Nxc6 (not messing up my Q-side pawn structure; although the doubled c pawns could give Black some potential central control). Later on, moves like Bc5 and Nge7 could come for Black.

At 2.02 black can take back the white queen with Knight instead with King & maintain its luxury of castling in future ….so I guess this will not work
please advice

What if the white …
What if the white plays Kxc3 taking the black’s bishop & threatening black’s queen at 5.09…. how do you all rate this move !!

7:08 you mean… …
7:08 you mean… then black can move his queen threatening mate and knight.
The correct response from my point of view here would be: Bishop to e3, developing another piece and defending the threatened Knight… AND if black decides to develop his other knight, he will lose a bishop.
Best move for black in this position would be Queen to f6.
Hope that helps ^^

at 7:93 when white eats the knight black should play Qf6 threatening with a mate and then eat the knight with queen..dxc6 is wrong

First learn opening …
First learn opening princple, after that, Learn something easy like the bird opening or Queen’s Gambit. Something along those lines, but LEARN the basic princples of chess, because your enemy wouldn’t always play that way you want him to, and you need to know basics so you don’t hang yourself.

white can play f4 and force the queen to move and then white can play Nxc7 and fork the rook, good question though.

5:07 bxc4, Kd8. Why black don’t simply place it’s queen to e5 to defend the c7 pawn, put pressure on the White’s Knight and to be able to castle?
Great vid, thanks
