The #1 Class On Cochrane Gambit

                 .SaiTama Studies Chess#1.

Hi, Everyone Prof.SaiTama here. Today i am going to discuss #1 What is an aggressive chess opening and Top Aggressive chess openings and the reason behind a chess opening to be named aggressive. So whenever someone mentions about a aggressive chess opening mainly casters during live streams or during 'Masters Game', They meant to say that 'when player1 want to attack player2 at once(immediately) and try to disturb the focus, composure and put player2 under great pressure at the very beginning of that game.

Usually aggressive opening among "grand masters don't show much respect" as said by Kasparov once. If You want to go for a video on beginning of how to think aggressive opening then surely this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jvotg3zplA). It is usually practiced normally among players during league games or beginning of tournaments to end game with style.

Now Then, we should move toward various types of aggressive opening and discuss them all:

1. Cochrane Gambit

It is a part of PETROV DEFENSE: BISHOP CHECK LINE. It is named after GM John Cochrane first in 1848 against an Indian master Mohishunder Bannerjee.

Starting of this Gambit occurs after Sacrificing a Knight and moving three. Lets discuss the first game:

Silence before the storm

here till now everything is looking like a natural King's Pawn game nothing special from any side until the move c4 comes after 3.n*e5 d6 4.n*f7 k*f7 and then boom!

Bishop Line Attack: Game Begins!

Now as i captioned Game Begins! 5.C4 Ke8 and now situation looks like:

It looks like a normal defense or move against white's c4 move.

One must think what's the fault in taking king back with (Ke8) move but after that move white's light square bishop become danger*100 for black as there is no defense and what'sw more?

Light square bishop can attack anytime at black's king.

Many analyzers says that rather than (Ke8) E6 would be a very nice move? It neutralizes the white's light squared bishop.

Next, 6.white short-castle, c5 and then 7.h3 was played and the view was like this:

Awkward Move From white side. isn't it?

Now Then, everyone must think about that h3 move played which must be taken concern because it is played from white side's (that sacrificed his knight during beginning).

As much i analysed and research, This move played by john brings the idea to prevent black from Ng4 or Bg4 which indirectly meant to relax black side for some time because this move gives the idea of not attacking within next few moments but developing white's pieces and waiting for perfect blunder spot from black side that is indeed a long-term approach

Now, lets get back to the game. Black plays his 7th move 'queenC7' . Then development of pieces while preventing any capture occurred from both side like 8. f4, Nc6 9. Nc3, a6

Hold On Guys, for another future prevention move or prophylactic move from white's side a4 and the view is like this:

Look at that a4 why?

Anyone can find the reason just by looking at the pic. Indeed it is played to stop black's queen from attacking at b5 position and developing his bishop to b7.

Black Counter-play 10. Qe7 11. Nd5, Qd8 The main problem here is Black pieces especially Queen is just trianguling herself out and remains with very less position:

Why Not Knight takes d5 was played when it was black's 11t move?

Actually The main problem is, It would be very dangerous for black side to provide white a open file (a lane without any pawn). still there are some chances for black if it takes at d5 and continues it can rescue its undeveloped pieces if white's light squared bishop is traded.

But For Now, let's stick to the game 12. d4, c*d4 13. e5, N*d5:

hehe! just look at it how amazing this position could be try yourself out.

Now, what actually happened in next move 14. B*d5, d*e5 15. B*c6, b*c6 16. Qh5, Kd7 17. f*e5, Kc7 18. Rf7, Kb8 19. e6, Bd6 20. Bg5, Qb6 21. a5, Qc5???

What's The Blunder??

Actually this position and the ways game could turn table from here exists but none occurs (we will discuss it how in another segment)

What was actually played next was 22. b4, Qe5 23. Bf4, Q*e6 24. Qc5, Q*f7 25. B*d6:

Game Ends In an Instant!

After this Player2 resigns and game ends with Cochrane, John (1) -- Mohishunder, B (0)

Taken place at Calcutta (presently:Kolkata)..

During last moves Blunders occured from both sides and made game a little bit offset or little bit less-rated or else Perfect! But Nothing could be promised to anyone who is playing on-board chess games because that on-board competitiveness of players lead to excitement of games and on the other hand, sometimes blunders occurs. Players cant be blamed
