    I Love this opening and won so many Games with it, but you have to be very careful as black, too

    Again a great video,i love so much all this trick videos for all yours videos teach to me differents way to push your attack into the next level and even again computer or higher players level,i find it give to me so many options if i can only survive to the more strong players,in the beginning moves, somes games i am able to turn this to victory but it is not always a walk in the park but always thoses games are really funny to play!!Like Tartakower said it is the player which not made the last error which win the game!I like play chess for this kind of games!Thank you!

    Great. This is the only way I will play the Italian

    After you push the pawn just QE2? These videos rely on hope chess

    I learned this gambit from your videos and I always play it with high success rate. This opening just bewilders the opponent.

    Igor
    What would be variation if white instead move knight to B8 move queen on D7 and can’t take knight because check?

    Can you do a video on the old max lange attack.

    Unfortunately after crushing everyone in my chess club with this they all learned to play d4.

    Playing this in 2/1 games all the time and so much fun, thanks Igor!!

    I highly recommend the other two videos about this gambit. I love this gambit, it helped me win so many games in beautiful ways

    Thank you very much. I really love to play the rousseau..

    You had me at turning the weak F7 pawn into "Beast Mode"! LOL

    Thank you for your very fun and informative videos!

    My memory is so bad i need to look this every morning lol

    And you surprise fried liver players 😈

    I just played 80 Bullet games in 2 sessions. Some of that happened.

    2nd trap: 4:52, what if after you move pawn to F4 to cut off the horse from the bishop, they move Qh5 putting you in check, what is the line for that?

    I thought I invented my own opening
    Turns out it already exists with a different name 😂

    I've been playing the Rousseau for years with great success. The other day I checkmated a 2000 rated player on move 11.

    if white takes exf5 then after e4 white can from what I have seen jump to like d4 and if black takes back then we have a devastating attack with the queen

    I always thought the Russo Gambit was capturing Crimea and discovering your enemy allowed it? 😅

    Brilliant counter opening sir… I request for more video, like other advance opening…godbless.

    I love Gambits, and this is certainly a good Gambit to learn, thanks for the video, very educational and entertaining.

    Greetings, Master Smirnov, thanks for your videos. In this video that you have just posted, you can check the English subtitles since they do not appear, your videos can always be read the English subtitles but not in this video, can you please enable the English subtitles? Thank you

    No matter how do your opponents respond with. All of them will be destroyed

    I actually play this gambit alot. However it's never bad to refresh your theory. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!

    11:42 If White plays Nxh8

    2:37 I didn’t understand why the only move was Q g6. What is the problem with Q f4? If White responds with g4, then it gets taken en passant, and blacks king side is now exposed?

    @9:20 they are more likely to move knight to take rook, because its also a check

    worth thinking through scenarios like this though

    Hi Igor ,thank for these contents.I have a a doubt about the second line After Bc5 if White plays Nc3.Thank you

    I definitely have to play this Rousseau Gambit and try this traps, so much fun! Cheers,

    What's the official name of this gambit? And is this a gambit or a proper opening line like Sicilian?
