I recently had exactly same game as that your first game in OTB tournament, fried liver is so satisfying when it all plays out wel
I see the Englund gambit somewhat often. I just brushed up on the 4 Bf4 line because it's a little better than Nc3 which I was playing.
One of your best videos. Love it. ❤
Now I know what to be on the lookout for for the next several months…everyone is going to be trying these gambits on me…SMH…
Pro tip update your password!
i just got that knight checkmate with the blackburne-shilling – first try! Thanks Levy
Gotham, why are you telling your huge audience about Blackburn Shilling!!?? Shhh…. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve collected on it. Surprisingly very common to pull off when opponents are in the 900-1100 range.
The clap at the beginning of your videos is quite useless and a little bit pretentious. You are one of the best chess "recaptors", so please do not forget that less is more… 😉
Haven't I suffered enough?
Didn't even show the fun stafford line. Instead of moving the light bishop they move the dark bishop to pin your knight to your queen and then you very adamantly sacrifice your queen and move the pinned knight. If they take the queen you get a forced checkmate with the bishops.
Oh, There's a funny line…
bro i only play the ponziani with white dont spoil it
New eyeglasses? Nice.
Where is the traxler ;(
I was one of the unsuspecting noob on the first day of the year 2022.
And here we go fellow low ELO. A shallow sea of traps awaits
Love it how you pronounce Belgrade, greetings from Serbia 🙂
omg i got a 91.1 in a game when i did one of them hhahahahahahahahhahaah
It's another queen sac with white peace. 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bc4 d6 4 Nc3 Bg4 5 h3 Bh5 and here is our brilliant move
6 N×e5!! if B×d8
7 B×f7+ Ke7 and in move 8 Nd5#
Is that amazing???
Would you have a PGN of the moves available for fun?
Thank you for showing us!!
black king bravely defending reminds me of zelinsky
gotham: talks about 5 traps for black
me: where is traxleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer
also: wait i thinks a bit too complicated to not have one video for itself
I've actually won against an FM with the Englund (I'm 1700). It's true that it was a bullet, but those people don't study "trash openings" and don't expect them so you can catch them because they will blitz the moves without thinking. And there are much more tricks thaan that line in the video, so you can win easily if the oponent doesn't know the opening and plays fast.
Love your hair, man
i haven’t watched since his last tournament. Anything big i miss?
Bruh comparing harden to kobe is insane. James Harden is a clown who thinks he can just stop playing hard to get out of a situation. Harden will never win a chip
Hey Levy, I've been enjoying your content ever since the Queen's Gambit launched on Netflix. The main roadblock that is preventing me from playing more chess is that I get severe anxiety whenever I want to start a random game of chess. Playing against people I know is no problem and when I get invited it's not that bad, but whenever I want to start a random game of chess I just completely freeze. I've been able to play 5 random games in about a year (1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses) and that's it. I'd love to be able to overcome this fear, so if you have any advice on how to start or if you're familiar with this problem, I'd love to hear it!
what if, in the albin the rook doesn't take the knight and the king moves back to e1?
Many years ago I won a game with the Englund exactly as you showed and I delivered the mate with the Queen. It was not bliz or bullet, but a serious game against a good opponent.
My problem with these traps is that once I learn these patterns I then start playing like shit. Every move I do I do it in anticipation of a player blundering and then they mostly just destroy me. So I try to use these traps more as a guide on how to pin or exploit in certain positions, play normal chess and maybe exploit some of these later in game, if the opportunity arises. My average ELO has raised considerably after doing this. But, I may as well be completely wrong about this, after all I'm only about 1500ELO (not fide).
Kobe is definitely the Knight
You should have been Lenin’s successor, not Stalin.
People keep trying these kind of traps online and it's annoying because as soon as I don't fall for their simple trap they literally have no idea how to play basic chess.
nice
Top job.
New Sub! New here 🙂
It would have been good if u have added the ponziani steinitz gambit….
Thank you Levy, I've seen less people playing the Englund against me recently, now it's going to gain popularity again :>
Fun fact: the grandmaster who fell for the English trap was Sergey Karjakin
I think Levy played the Albin Counter and won in 9 moves in one of his latest Win at Chess vids. It was quite nice. Its visually so nice to see the black on d4 shredding open the middle.
2 times i tried playing ponziani trap where you said that c3 stops bishop c5 and both times my opponent played bishop c5 🤣
Good to see you back
first opening always makes me roll my eyes when I see it lol
25:27 but what if white push d5, I lose atleast one piece right?
Please make a ponziani opening video!
i've played like 10 games and none of the opponents played into the trap…why do they have to ruin the fun
Now it's a great time to lose 100 rating points after trying these.
37:51 😳
I would appreciate if you re record your misspoken parts. You are being too lazy to just keep recording afterwards
