Скачать или смотреть The Queen's Attack: Kingside Defence - Slingshot Chess Opening Clinic

After studying the Queen's attack (clearly the most challenging opening choice for white) deeply with assistance from the latest engines, our team have found that the risky looking Kingside Defence gives black lots of opportunities to trap white's queen among black's kingside pieces. This allows black to strike back with a timely queen capture and can then proceed to do their own Queen's Attack, but with white now unable to employ this defence!

If White tries to escape on move 4 rather than attempt to smash through black's bishop, black sometimes has time to launch a counterattack on white's exposed king which I can cover in a future video.

Note: I want to emphasise the importance to get the correct shot on move 2 as black. For this defence to work properly, you need to have your queen touching the front left side of the e7 pawn as seen in the video. The current way to line up the shot consistently is to overlap the left side of the second aiming circle with the left side of the top circle of the pawn (more easily seen in the video).
