I was 1100 in a an Open Tournament, played this and beat an FM, IM and GM to win. I was banned, investigated, and locked in a dungeon for 11 years because it was considered witchcraft. This opening is very dangerous.

FM James Schuyler wrote a book “The Dark Knight System” Everyman Chess which covers this defense beautifully.

That was a really good video with all the traps, and since the opening is uncommon you can catch people off guard

i definitly wanna see a video of this system with white love the videos igor!

Thank you sir, I love your videos. And yes we would love to see the variation with white pieces :)

I tried your opening right after watching this video and guess what happned I won by checkmate. And I sacrificed THE ROOOOK. Thank you for this video GM.

Awesome content, thank you very much. Your enthusiasm is contagious

It's very imbalance and very aggressive system at the same time. This is gold

Just discovered this channel - fantastic stuff, exactly what I was after, love it!

I really LOVE your video's !! Great work!

This is a very good system, especially if White doesn't know it. In most lines on lichess, Black scores much better than White. HOWEVER, in lines where White pushes an early h4 (either 1.e4 Nc6 2.d4 e5 3.d5 Ne7 4.Nf3 Ng6 5.h4! or 1.d4 Nc6 2.c4 e5 3.d5 Ne7 4.Nf3 [or Nc3] Ng6 5.h4!) White scores better AND the computer gives a very comfortable advantage. This h-pawn push is quite thematic against Knights on g6/g3. These are not the most popular lines, but you are rolling the dice and/or need to do some homework in these Harry Attack lines if you want to play them in non-blitz games. (You also need to know how to play the Scotch after 3.Nf3!?, though GM Smirnov has some videos on that so not a big deal.)

I’ve subbed! Looking forward to watch the versions while playing white!

Thank you!

Wow this is awesome breakdown of this opening! Cants wait for the upcoming video with White!

These videos are so amazing for a new player like me. Thanks so much! Your explanations help me understand the reasoning behind moves.

Wow! I love hope thorough you describe the variations! Many teachers will pose an idea and say, “then your opponent will go here” but that example is only one of four valid moves and the other three collapse the trap! You illustrated the theory beautifully. I’m excited to try this.

Great content! Thanks a lot! Do you just take the d4-pawn after 1.e4 Nc6, 2. d4 e5 3.Nf3?

Gracias.!!!
