HUNGARIAN OPENING- BIRATI CHESS ACADEMY-9836614608

HUNGARIAN OPENING- Birati chess Academy-9836614608

The Hungarian Opening is a semi-unusual chess opening which begins with the move 1. g3

Compared to white’s four “main” opening moves (1. e4, 1. d4, 1. c4, and 1. Nf3), the Hungarian Opening lags far behind in popularity. That said, this opening is fully viable – even some professional-level chess games have featured the Hungarian Opening!

By playing g3 on move one, white indicates his intention to fianchetto the light-squared bishop. Black has several reasonable responses, including 1…c5, 1…e5, 1…d5, 1…Nf6, and 1…g6.

This is the real downside of the Hungarian Opening – black’s options aren’t limited at all! Black will be free to develop in almost any way he pleases.

There are very few “original” setups that are unique to the Hungarian Opening. The game will almost always “tranpose” to a setup that is better associated with another first move from white!

For example, after 1. g3 d5 2. Nf3 c5 3. Bg2 Nc6 4. 0-0 e5 5. d3:

Englund Gambit Trap- Birati Chess Academy

 Englund Gambit Trap- Birati Chess Academy

Englund Gambit Trap

This trap starts out with the Englund Gambit which is 1. d4 e5. This is not a recommended opening for black but something that you might see if you start with d4 and very important to understand how to move forward.

The Englund Gambit Trap is an ambitious attempt by black to lure white into making rational, but dangerous moves. Black will give up the e pawn early on and then bring out his queen for a quick attack on the queen side of the board. The critical move comes after black takes with 5…Qxb2.

1. d4 e5
2. dxe5 Nc6
3. Nf3 Qe7
4. Bf4 Qb4+
5. Bd2 Qxb2

In this spot white may be tempted to play Bc3 and attack the queen but the better move is to play Nc3.

Alekhine Defense: How to Play as White and Black

Alekhine Defense: How to Play as White and Black 

Alekhine’s Defense Fundamentals

We enter Alekhine’s Defense after the opening moves 1.e4 Nf6.

There is no advantage for White in avoiding 2.e5. Of all the main alternatives 2.Nc3 is White’s best choice with a possible transposition to the Vienna Game after 2…e5 or the Alekhine’s Defense Scandinavian Variation after 2…d5.

Ponziani Opening - Birati Chess Academy

Ponziani Opening - Birati Chess Academy 

It is one of the oldest chess openings, having been discussed in the literature by 1497.

1. e4 e5

2. Nf3 Nc6

3. c3

It is one of the oldest chess openings, having been discussed in the literature by 1497.

Ponziani's countergambit 3...f5!? was successfully played in the grandmaster game Hikaru Nakamura–Julio Becerra Rivero, US Championship 2007.

The Ponziani is a strong opening to use at club play and a suprise weapon to use at master level. If played correctly black can create a sharp opening with attacking chances for both sides. However black must tread carefully, playing naturally can lead to a variety of devastating traps.

Today, it is usually known by the name of Domenico Lorenzo Ponziani, whose main contribution to the opening was his introduction, in 1769

The Richter–Veresov Attack - Birati Chess Academy

The Richter–Veresov Attack (or Veresov Opening) is a chess opening that begins with the moves:

1. d4 d5

2. Nc3 Nf6

3. Bg5

It is also often reached by transposition, for example 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d5 3.Bg5 (the most common move order), 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 d5 3.Nc3, or 1.Nc3 Nf6 2.d4 d5 3.Bg5.

The opening was named after the German International Master Kurt Richter and later the Soviet master Gavriil Veresov, who played it frequently for over a quarter of a century.

Along with the Trompowsky Attack, Colle System, London System, and Torre Attack, the Richter–Veresov Attack is one of the more common branches of the Queen's Pawn Game. The more popular Ruy Lopez opening looks like a Richter–Veresov Attack mirrored on the queenside, but the dynamics of play are quite different.

Top 5 Types of Forks Every Chess Player Must Know - Birati Chess Academy

Top 5 Types of Forks Every Chess Player Must Know

1. Knight Chess Fork

Knight is a truly unique piece due to its ability to jump over other pieces. It is impossible to stop the knight’s check, without capturing the knight or moving the king itself. That feature makes the knight a perfect forking piece. Take a look on the example below, where the black knight forks white’s king and bishop. This type of fork is especially forcing due to the check by a knight. The king has to move and the bishop is lost.

You may feel that knight forks are easy to find, but it’s not always the case. Take a look at the example below. There is no immediate fork, but it can be constructed. Let me show you how to think in cases like that.

Notice how white knight attacks the f6-pawn which can be captured with a check. Also notice that it is being defended by the black’s knight, which in turn is protected by the bishop and threatened by the white’s rook. Now imaging that instead of the knight there is a bishop on e7.

Then you can capture the f6-pawn with a knight, forking the king and bishop and winning it. Do you see a way to achieve that? Exactly, you need to play 1.Rxd7 and after Bxd7 2. Nxf6+ and 3. Nxd7 winning the bishop.

White to move and win

2. Rook Chess Fork

Rook is not only can be used to control the ranks and files but also to fork opponent’s pieces. In the example below black’s rook is forking white’s king and knight resulting in capturing of the minor piece and winning the game.

3. Queen Chess Fork

Queen is the most powerful piece, since it combines powers of both the rook and the bishop. That makes it a very good attacker. In the example below black’s queen forks three of the white’s pieces at the same time ultimately winning the game.

In order to be proficient at finding tactics such as forks, smothered mates, checkmates, pins, and skewers you need to solve problems on daily bases. If you are aiming for a serious progress, consistency is the key. Sure you may skip a day or two here and there, but the point is to work on tactics at least for 20 minutes a day everyday.

Once you’re doing that, you should throw positional training, endgames training, and attacking training into the equation and the success is almost guaranteed for you! Things can be a little confusing though, but don’t worry we tried to make learning chess as easy as possible, by creating a step-by-step, day-by-day training program that will help to take your chess to the next level.

4. Pawn Chess Fork

Even though the pawn is the least valuable unit, it can surely deliver a fork. In the example below, the pawn is forking white’s bishop and knight, drawing the game.

5. Bishop Chess Fork

Bishop is a great long range piece, and it can fork pieces located on the same diagonal. In the example below the bishop forks white’s king and rook.

Let’s take a look at the example from real game. We notice that the black’s bishop is interposing the attack on the rook and king via d5 square. It is protected by both the queen and the knight. Is there way to get rid of both defender in one move? Here it is: 1. Qxe7! Qex7 2. Bxd5+ Kf8 3. Bxa8 and white is winning after he exchanges his queen for 2 minor pieces and a rook.

White to move and win

Extra: King Chess Fork

Yes, the king is also an attacking piece and can deliver a fork winning a piece, if someone does not know how to checkmate with a knight and bishop correctly.
