In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you the best chess opening for Black against 1.e4. It is from the Portuguese variation of the Scandinavian Defense, which happens after the following moves: 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Nf6 3.d4 Bg4.
The variation that he shows is very aggressive and it’s even played by the world champion Magnus Carlsen in online chess.

This is the Portuguese Gambit
What is the plan if white plays c4 instead of d4?
Merci .
I've gone on a 3 month journey playing this opening with black as often as possible. The big thing is the C4 pawn, if that's not played the game is very different, but still a very potent opening and helps develop black pieces quickly
as a 400 player it helps so much
What happens if they don’t take pawn instead push

Horrible opening
At 7:10 I'd go 11. …Nd3+ 12. Kf1 Nf2 (forking the queen and the rook)
what's next if white captures the pawn on e7 and checks king??
Hey Igor I follow regularly your videos and it helps a lot on my chess games thank you…
But I loss to stock fish when his second move was bishop to e2…
I like how people who read others comments and then steal there comment and try to make it there own.
Yeah my dad or grandpa taught me and I beat him. He was so proud. How many of yall gonna steal that comment
0:52
Nowboodi play this.
What if white does not take the black pawn in the second move, and move the king's pawn to e5? In that way, white could move d4 to support e5!
What if white decides to protect pawn with bishop 🤔
Before knight f6 for black, what am i supossed to do if they play knight c3?
After pawn f3 and bishop f5 bishop B5 check puts black in a bad spot
Basically everyone I get matched with responds to f6 with c3
the french defense is the best black opening against 1.e4
what is the line if white plays knight to f3 after black plays knight f6?
0:57 what about knoght f3
After trading the Q's on D4, white can castle queen side. Also, white did not have to move Q to block the N pin, he can go to C1. Am I missing something here?
Thanks for this. I saw this video about 2 weeks ago and have tried this every time I play black. It doesn't always work out as planned but I finally have a black opening now I enjoy and give white a hard time
I mean, you should at least share the best response from white so people know what they potentially get into. after 4. f3 Bf5 comes 5. g4 Bg6 and only then 6.c4 which the computer gives a +1.4 advantage to white for obvious reasons
After 2. …Nf6 white just goes 3.Bb5+ and has a healthy advantage out of the opening.
this literally never happens, no one doubles up pawns like that
Nice video. There are two moves that I think are good for white. 3.Bb5 and 3.Be2 instead of 3.d4. Maybe you can make a video on these.
You just earned a subscriber
In position at 7:10, I believe 11… Bg3 is prob the best continuation for Black. One computer gives another as 11… Nd3+ 12. Kf1 Nf2 13. Qd2 Nxh1 14. g4 Bd7 15. b4 Bf2 16. Nh3 h6 17. Nxf2 Nxf2 18. Be3 Nh3 and Black should win having a defendable position and being a rook up.
Can you explain why white would move the second pawn to e4 in the beginning
kn f3 must be for defence queen
Why would someone move pawn on D2 to D4? It's not helping the pawn in front of it. For the most times that I have played this line, opponent did not even move the pawn blocking the attack on king by bishop
What about Nf3 after Bf4? How to defend that?
Is this recommended for 24h game?
I think at 0:15 white would play something like pawn c4 or knight c3 to protect the pawn instead of leaving it hanging
But what if white plays pawn to G4 to attack your rook at the beginning instead of white playing pawn to D4 ?
Im super low level player and my opponents keep playing pawn to d5 instead of capturing and idk what the best counter is
min 7:10 …..Ph6, Bxf6, QxF6, after Quenn or Rook in protection on B2, Nd3…….
As a 1300 it worked against a 1700 one out of one times, and thus gets my quality certificate
I learn from my teacher in middle schoo
After F3 he continues with next pawn to G4 what is the bishop line?
great explanation, must try it now tho…:)
