this is the structure of the Yousuf Cobra Attack
Yousuf Cobra Attack
Sort:
but yousuf cobra attack sounds more like gangster
if you want to go the hard way you play the yousuf attack, if you just a regular you play the london system
but anyway i still havent really understood whats so special about the london but maybe i should give it a try
The idea of the london is to give up all first move advantage and try to win a equal position by outplaying your opponent.
Interesting creation!
...but how exactly would that work if black was to fianchetto his dark squared bishop and push pawns to d5 and c5 instead of playing passively like the diagram?
or
What would you do if black went for a queen's indian or even a dutch setup instead of playing so passively like the diagram?
its similar to the london but i think f3 g4 is a very interesting idea.
I have the feeling the bc3 qd3 was done a little early, maybe bc2 then go ahead with some stuff like h4 and see i they commit to a certain pawn structure before playing it.

Well it is only theory. like in stonewall or colle, what if they play Bf5?
or if they played d6 e5? it is theory, and a structure of attack!
This setup with white if only achievable if you play both colours yourself. A sane black player will not allow this setup.

well...
he can't really stop f3, g4 etc. and the queen bishop force cannot be stopped without c5, which can be dealt with by b3! as in the zukertort system
This is an utterly stupid attacking pattern. Black should have absolutely no trouble against this, provided he isn't a total patzer.
Here you played for Black two very questionable moves (Nc6 and Bd7), and still- Black is certainly not worse.
Indeed, black wouldn't play Nc6 in a pawn structure where he wants c5 or e5.
At high school level, it would be a killer. There is no understanding of d4 and I have seen the black setup like 100 times this year. In a USCF tournament, white would most likely get in trouble.
yousuf, you got totally cussed up by an IM.
just admit it, your attack is no use

it could work in a blitz/bullet.
alekhine played b4(in simuls)! that worked out!
This is a system that I invented. It is very aggresive, and is only theory!
