Demolition of the French Defense with 2. b3 !!!

Hello guys, welcome back to all chess labs. My name is Alex. Today I have for you another incredible and incredible game against the French

defense

, but before we get to that, if you are new here and want to learn about middlegame opening ideas. and game tactics, then consider subscribing to the channel, okay, let's jump to that, we have e4 e6 and b3 in the other game, I showed you how to crush it with g3 uh, this time I decided to play b3, the truth is that at that time . uh hikaru was playing a lot of b3 bishop b2 and crushing people so I wanted to copy the man and try it myself so my opponent went for d5 and I played bishop to b2 like in the first game I ignored the threat. here on my pawn on e4 I just wanted to develop I just wanted to get my pieces out so my opponent here went for d takes e4 and I played knight to c3 here my opponent went knight to f6 I was a little surprised Honestly, with this move my opponent on At that time he was a very famous pawn grabber, so I was hoping that he, instead of playing this knight on f6, would make this move f5 trying to keep the pawn on e4 for as long as possible, in which case I was going to hit it with the pawn to f3 with full development and a large compensation.

Instead, my opponent goes for the knight on f6. I continue with the queen to e2. He goes for the bishop to b4. I went ahead and castled and the bishop takes c3. I told you. he was a famous punk capturer and he is willing to keep this pawn at all costs, so he went ahead and gave me his very strong bishop with bishop takes on c3, to tell the truth any other move would have been better at this point . Already knew. I was going to win this game uh it was a very satisfying feeling he only moved six and I already knew I was going to crush this guy I kept going I captured the pawn now my rook is open I'm attacking his queen he needs to do something with her was the queen to e7 and here I had an unusually long thing, um, of course, she plans to castle soon.

Hopefully I was guessing at this point in the game and wanted to find a way to open the game. in my favor of course, so I came up with this g4 move. My idea was simple. I wanted to go h4 uh g5 maybe put my bishop on g2 uh take the pawn on e4 maybe bishop to d3 attacking on the h7 square if so. castling that way, these were all my ideas here, so here my opponent goes for the queen to c5, of course he is guarding the g5 square, so now I push, he was just going to take with check, so it's not good for me, but I went to h4 anyway trying to go to g5 on the next move and here my opponent goes with the pawn to e3.

Super interesting move that my opponent wants to make after I take here and I realize that I have to do it if I want to record how to take with the pawn if I take the queen, then he can exchange queens and he will be absolutely fine, so I do it. What you want to do with this move is leave the e4 square for your knight, so I took another little thing here and came up with a very good move from bishop to g2. I felt that by sacrificing this pawn I was going to get a great compensation now that my bishop controls the diagonal so I thought it was a very good move here, my opponent of course took on f2 and I went knight to f3 notice I have two pawns less but I'm fully developed my king is extremely safe behind this very nice pawn shield here I have a great attack on the king and honestly I have all my pieces are in play now if you look at White's position his king is still in the center.

I have this big attack, so he doesn't do it. I'm not sure what he's doing with his king and queen side pieces, they just look terrible and he doesn't look like he's going to castle that way if he wanted to do it soon, so here my opponent made this h5 move. I thought it was a good move, but at the same time I now knew that his king will be trapped in the center. forever pushing these pawns forward on the king's side that just meant to me that he wasn't going to go to the castle on the king's side and go to the queen he said well it will only be a few moves to tell you the truth so here I went for The Horse Takes f2.

My plan was simple. I wanted to eliminate the king's only defender, so after he took g4, I went ahead and captured with my knight on g4. He went for the knight b to d7, of course, if he goes for the knight he takes g4. after the queen takes g4, look at this lone king, I'm going to go with the pawn to c4, everything will connect on g7 and I have ideas of h5 h6, the whole rook can reach f5, it will be unpleasant, so here is my opponent, of course. It was for uh after the knight takes g4, it was for the knight b to d7 and I continue with c4 again opening my bishop, uh, especially hitting this pawn on g7, if this knight ever decides to move, it goes here for c6 and up to the Today I can't understand it. this move to save my life, my only guess is that he wanted to go for zombie five and maybe open up my kingside, but even if he makes that move, I still don't see the threat, I can stay, he takes and can.

I'm not even backing down, my bishop is touching the ceiling. I don't understand this move at all, but whatever I played it and here I went for the king to be one and I really love this chorus move. I wanted to play this move in many ways h5 In many variations I wanted to play this move but he always had this stupid queen on d5, hitting my king would pass and solve all his problems so now with this little king maneuver to be one , doesn't have that queen on g5. check, so I thought it was a very smart move, maybe it's not good, but I thought it was a smart move.

Here he goes with the queen to e7, brings the queen back and gives the king more protection from him. I'm going for h5, that was my plan all along with my king. to be one, so I continue with that and here he took g4 with a knight, a little trick I had prepared with h5 was that if he had chosen the knight he would take h5, instead I was going to play the knight. to e5 now hits his knight here with two pieces and only has the root protecting, so if I wanted to keep the piece I needed to go the queen to g5, notice how important my 2v1 king was and these were the films that were bothering me . queen to g5 pass solving all his problems imagine if my king was on b1 now he would just give me a check, I will move and maybe he can get away with some other move like maybe he doesn't castle but his position is still bad either. way but this move was bothering me uh here I could just go the knight takes d7 the bishop takes d7 and man this bishop f3 I felt very proud when I saw this in my calculations this knight is stuck he can't go back to f6 because I take the rook with check and then I take the other rook, this is just unpleasant and he goes with the pawn to d6 because well, my bishop is also attacking the rook on that diagonal, so very good geometry, he was going to win a piece in this position. so the knight takes h5 it wasn't really possible so he goes for after h5 he goes for the knight takes g4 I take with my queen and here my opponent goes for f6 in some situations I guess I understand that this move is blocking my bishop from attack the g7 square also prevents my queen from taking now because the queen is taking, but simply moving these pawns now will create many more weaknesses around the king and I took full advantage of that and played bishop to e4 here by changing my bishop. to another diagonal instead of this diagonal which doesn't really do anything, I mean it served this purpose there, I guess now I'm going to change my bishop to get another diagonal attacking the king, putting the king in check in many variations here my opponent it was a knight to f8 trying to prevent me from going to g6 with my bishop, but here I had a very beautiful ending, so go ahead, pause the video, try to find it for yourself, leave the comments below, let me know what you think about this one position.

Go ahead and try to solve it in two seconds, okay guys, so if you saw the bishop on g6 pass, I mean, I've been mentioning this move, so it should have been very easy for you, so congratulations, it was a very beautiful move, but is the next one. after the move that matters it goes the knight takes g6 just moves uh the queen takes g6 and here the king to f8 all the moves here lose if it aims for f7 then there is a very nasty root that fades and the king can't take because I take the queen and if the king reaches e7 I take the rook, the same game is over, so he goes to the king in this position and here I hit him with h6 and my opponent resigns in this position.

The reason for this is, for example, me. I'll give you a few lines so you understand why my opponent decided that you know, it's enough if he calls, the rook takes h6 here, I can follow him, the rook takes the pawn and then the bishop takes f6 when the queen moves. I'm going to hit him with the rook to check on d8, it will be game over, he will have to sacrifice his queen or it will be checkmate. Another important variation after h6 was to go for uh, the pawn takes on h6, but here again after the bishop takes on f6.

I'm hitting the lady. I'm hitting the tower. This tower will go to the eighth in case all this fails, which was not going to go to this other tower. Can you come here. This root can also reach file f. I mean this. The king is not happy, another variation after h6 was to maybe go to d8, but again after the pawn takes g7 there is nothing he can do if the rook takes and then the rook checks that the rook has to return and then the queen or the rook takes her checkmate and if the queen takes the same story I give a check here and yes the game will end in a few moves so yes very beautiful game I really liked it it's just another example of how bad the French

defense

is, you can win in so many. variations, so go ahead and try it.

I've already shown you how to win with g3. Now how to win with b3 by sacrificing the e4 pawn, which gives you a great compensation.
