Stafford Gambit is a pretty common idea that derives from the fishing pole trap. So everyone else can research that idea too
Not watching gotham because i will use his ideas, but so i know how to counter them since these are gonna get very popular now:D good content still
Levy, I love your content. Keep up the good work. I wouldn't mind shorter videos from time to time.
Yeah that Harden reference is too soon for me as a Nets fan
I loved this video, but where was the Budapest? That’s a great long-term gambit that always promises you some kind of an initiative.
Thanks for giving the 900s hope to beat me :))
Why are the chess pieces looking funny 😡 this is not okay with me
Well now I'm salty that both you and Eric Rosen have put the ponziani goodies out in the open.
Looks like I have to actually get good at chess now, since everybody will avoid this for the next few months
Thanks, Gotham. As always your instructional content rocks!
27:10 Englund Gambit hmmm
That Fried Liver trap was one of my favourite openings to play in blitz, of course you had to tell everyone about it 😂
21:10 if they take your rook its checkmate if we take their rook.
For the caro kann 5/6 move checkmate, what happens if black doesn’t move that knight and just takes with queen or moves king to avoid check
Levy: idk why i said move 7
a couple minutes later
Levy: alright let’s go to move 8
Levy is going to get free content after he made this video, cuz he can just make a counterattack video to every single one of these traps. (Execpt the early queen attack and f.liver cuz he alr has it)

Things to book up against for the next few weeks when everyone watches this. Free elo.
At 14'37 the "2700 GM" is a certain karjakin btw
20:15 i can't believe I just played a game like this
I landed the two nights Caro Kann trap in an official match, I hope the guy didn’t quit chess, because he finished with 1h25 on the clock
3:00 Surely after Qxh8 there must be some way to trap the queen? Nf6 perhaps?
Levy bring back the sub battles! But… I Love your channel regardless.
Can't wait to go play some chess after this video and have all my opponents trying to trap me
Thanks for this stuff budy
Traps – chess for instant gratification!! Important lesson here for all of us 800 or less…never play e4 with white. (shout out to Levy Rozman!) And learn the Caro Kann trap – like everyone 800 or less who plays the Caro, I too have been caught. Entertaining stuff – thanks for the hard work!

hi
Traxler 🙁
Great now I'm getting my Karo Cann gambitted in bullet chess for the next few months
I get a mate with a trap in the englund gambit: soller gambit in 6 turns or englund gambit declined in 5 turns with d4 e5,dxe5 f6,exf6 knight takes f6, bishop g5 bishop c5, knight f3 knight e4 , then the bishop takes your queen on d8 and you go bishop takes f2 mate. Its a classic oh no my queen moment . Ive had that mate work on people rated 1400-1500 Lots of times.
What life breaks Gotham fixes it 🖤
I have never in my life considered playing the horsie there @5:06
wtf is this trash
10:13 its basically a woodenshield
Gotham is the most probable reason people play these cheeZzzzy lines in low rated blitz. AND That's the reason I have memorized 23 forced move Traxler + some other selfmade counterattacks to avoid all these trash lines.
Eric Rosen aproves
Nice levy! I’m around 750 and thanks to this video I will be playing guys who remembered a couple of moves from this video and then start screwing up. I’ll reach 800 in the next couple weeks.

Insert controversial opinion in hopes to get pinned
After watching first 2 traps it is interesting to see how these traps are for very different levels. The first trap is for 500 players and the second one is for 1200 players. There is no way that a 1200 falls into the first trap and there is no way a 500 player plays logical enough moves so that he falls for the seocond trap.
There is a fun trap you can play with the Blackmar-Diemer. It goes like this:
1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. f3 exf3 5. Qxf3 Qxd4 6. Be3 Qb4 7. O-O-O Bg4 8. Nb5
If black plays Bxf3 then Nxc7#, if Na6 then Qxb7 which forks the rook and the knight
5 moves : there is also the petrov smothered check when the black knight goes back to f6 after taking the pawn but that only leads to a queen loss for black.
Gotham with the NBA knowledge, does anyone know which team Levy supports
Thanks levy
ngl, some of these tricks feel cheap/you've already done lot of content on. don't mind promoting your paid content but as a long time gotham viewer I've seen these before and I was hoping for some new ones.
its like you're using filler just to increase the video length…
Apparently, for the last 30 years, whenever somebody asks my mom to play chess (i.e. my brother and me), she agrees on the condition that if she wins, she never has to play that person again. Then, she busts out the Scholar's Mate and drops the mic. I don't even think she knows for sure how the pieces move, but she doesn't have to, she just knows those four moves lol
I can't believe levy did a vid for stopping early queen attack and then recommending it in this vid
Is this his gambits course for free?
awesome video can't wait to lose elo 😀
People don't even fall for this in 300 rated bullet
