What if they play black bishop and add double support to queen
I played something similar to this opening with a friend today. They came in with their queen/bishop/knight, and once those pieces were on my side of the board, I attacked. They took my rook, took my ability to castle, and they thought they had me on the run….then ten moves later I had their queen, their king was exposed, and their bishop/knight/rook on a1-c1 still hadn't moved while I had two knights, a bishop, and my queen eyeing their king.. It was amazing.
I want to start is just a phone I need for now?
Knights site back maneuvers is sick 😮
Love your work Igor! This is my favourite gambit it rocks!
What if: 3 Nc3 instead of Bc4?
Brilliant opening
Latvian Gambit isnt it
Sir I learn a lot from you thank you
But how can I continue attacking the white king if t d opponent doesn't defend instead he move his queen
Thank you for your amazing videos which do so much to help us improve playing a great game. You are indeed a grand master teacher.
where's the variation Qe2 after black played e4
What if at 8:37 instead of Qh5, Bb5 is played? Please update this variant
This looks like the Gambit I'd want to try whenever possible.
I kept getting confused mid game with rat formation. But this is pretty clear what the lures and counters are.
Thank you Coach🙏 please make video like this about vienna gambit,all lines 😁
I'm trying to learn chess. My brain hurts. I hope it gets easier.
Thnx a lot
I will try this in rapid n blitz chess tmt in India on March 25.
I am rated at 1100 and I just got to try this opening against a 2000. Well I got absolutely crushed! What the heck!?? Just kidding, it will take many games and many re-views of these videos to start memorizing it.
My favourite for blitz. It's really fun and spicy 🔥
I always play this gambit. I've watched you other video like 10 times from start to end.
Nobody want the sound of your mouth you talk too much
You answered all my previous questions, thank you.
I see nothing here, on 3:29 all white needs to do is push g pawn to 5, queen is free and black is in bad shape. I would take white anytime. Am I missing anything?
Excuse me gm can u analyze an average player below 1700 game and make a video on it
Your videos are fantastic – I just wish the courses weren't so expensive… Even after the free lesson discount ☹️
Excellent
Wow! Thanks Igor for soo nice new variation in the Roussau Gambit! 😊👍♟
can you show what to do in the line that you let them fork you but instead of blocking checkmate threat with pawn or castling, they protect the pawn with their queen.
Hey master Igor
I find out during one of my games that queen Gambit trap when black accepted it then play 3.b5 then 4.c6 we can't just took the black rook with Q.f3 because he will play N.c6 and after Q.xc6 he will play B.d7 and we can't grab the rook on a8 because black queen is protect it😭😭😭😭
Every time that I played with this Gambit I lost in the end😂😂😂
So I'm seeking an good opening for black without trap.can you make a video with some strategic opening for black without traps??
My mind is just full of traps that sometime I forget some move or the white doing some out of line moves.
Thank you Igor❤️❤️❤️
I love this gambit thanks for making more videos of it! keep up the good work!
I have played this gambit since the last video on this gambit, and it's been very useful.
Problem is my oppenent also watching your videos and eveytime i play this opening he replies with d4
Great job!!
Igor. love your enthusiasm, generosity and bad-ass gambit lines! You’re a highlight of the online chess community! Thank you!
Base on ur thumb nail
I think that is
Reversed vienna gambit
For black.
Sir which category does you select in the category option of video in yt studio
btw, i am glad that you've speak about the d4 reply
I am rated 2000 on lichess but i have no serious education on chess and i have the feeling that i am accumulate some bad habits and wrong language to learn
And do you make some private lesons live
I want to by myself every single word you said about chess. How can i
Best chest Grand Master ever. Hope to see you soon
For white, Nd4 is a Brilliant move
Excellent Gambit!
3:27 now white moved two times in a row. Game theory no longer matters.
You make this, thank you want to attack all the time unique
Have you ever thought about making a video on the ponziani counter gambit?
Wonderful!
I have beaten many higher ranked players based on this gambit you had in a previous video. it works. thanks!
After 5…d5, white plays Bb5 and win the game with more active pieces and black has no more traps… White continue with Qh5+ or attack center with c4 then Nc3.
