DESTROY 1.d4 with the Chigorin Defense

The Chigorin Defense is an incredibly underrated and underused defense. The Chigorin Defense occurs after 1. d4 d5 2. c4 Nc6. Often bringing the knight out before the c pawn is developed is bad, but in the Chigorin Defense, you can break this principle. The point is, in the Chigorin Defense setup, the knight is very powerful, putting pressure on d4 and preparing e5. Also, in the Chigorin Defense, all your pieces develop smoothly and easily, and it is often the case that white is struggling to equalize. There is also some fun traps that exist in this Chigorin Defense, and other tactical ideas which I present in this video. 💜 Subscribe for more ➤ https://rb.gy/cq6pvj Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 0:16 General Ideas 2:54 3.cxd5 6:24 3.Nf3/Nc3 9:40 3.e3
