In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov will walk you through his favorite chess opening for White after 1.e4—the Bishop's Opening. This opening arises after 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4, a move far less common than the mainstream 2.Nf3, which typically leads to the Italian Game, the Ruy Lopez, the Scotch Game, and others.

Despite its rarity, the Bishop's Opening is both solid and aggressive, catching your opponents off guard right on the second move. It offers plenty of tricks and traps along the way.

In this lesson, you'll discover everything you need to know about the Bishop's Opening: from the basic opening moves and White’s main ideas to common attacking plans and sneaky traps.

You’ll also learn how to counter Black's two primary responses to the Bishop's Opening—2...Nf6 and 2...Nc6—with aggressive gambits.

These include the Ponziani-Urusov Gambit (arising after 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.d4) and the Vienna Hybrid (with 5.f4), which is an improved version of the King's Gambit.
