White knight can take

I always find when I dabble in this that my kings rook is just too out of the game, I end up losing and go back to the Knights gambit

I call this “Immortal Gambit” 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Bc4 Qh4+ 4. Kf1 b5 5. Bxb5 Nf6 6. Nf3

I play this gambit variation in Blitz and Rapid game. Its really working!!!

Many People are talking about why there is no bishop sacrifice, there is actually one say 0:28 Bc5 d4 Bc6 Nf3 Qg4 Then BF4+ if the king captures then Ne5+ forks the king and queen and it is all winning for white

10 years later at last. The kings gambit series is complete

Thank you. Great instruction.

Wow your voice has not change much in 10 years

if nothing else... it bypasses the dreaded fisher defense, but even in the king's knight gambit, 3...Be7 leads to loss of castling too. I like Nf3 because it's what I've always played and I hate having to learn new theory.

*2:43** It can get PENETRATED.*

Excellent video. 🙂 I'd really like to play against the OP. 😊

Love your video :-) thek king's gambit is my favourite opening

I like attacking with pawns so far they’re not bad like double pawns

From Trinidad 🇹🇹

9:51 oh I like this. I think a lot of players will just take the white pawn on e4...

Kevin, I know you're a big football fan as well as chess-- who you got in the super bowl next season? I got the Eagles vs Ravens.

Kevin! You're a KGA fan ... you should check out the 3-Pawn (aka Bertin's) Gambit. I'd love to see you do a video on that one!

Very nice description, if you don't mind can I know what is the chess software you are using for this lesson? thank you.

Glad to see you're back! Still seeing the word 'really' used a lot and it undermines your presentation. Instead of 'really tries to control the center' perhaps just saying white securing, dominating, or invading the center is sufficient. Love your instructional videos and I would love to see more in depth videos just like this one!

4. Kf8 Qe7 is quite playable.

I see a problem with one answer u didn't cover in beginning when white develops knight attacking queen. What if black pins knight offering trading queen now black up pawn and casting in two move. White now has knight on bad h file down pawn, castling not big deal cuz queens off board but isn't black winning from here?

What is your lichess nickname? I want to follow you. Anybody know his nickname?

Well, so how to respond to bishops gambit with black correctly?

@paulgoogol2652

Good question. I played this a lot with white and it is very easy to play but much harder to defend with black. Stockfish brought up Qh4+ then Qf6 with messy, impossible to play positions for black. So after googling I found a suggestion to counter e4 e5 f4 with an early d5 and so on. It should take the easy positions away.

@@philbertdesanex9710 you can look for videos on falkbeer counter gambit. e4 e5 f4 d5 exd5 exf4 is interesting as it transposes to the modern (abbazia) variation with quite even play. Still a little double edged but probably avoids white preparation or makes it less relevant because the game is much easier to play for black.

Question, what if black decided to be aggressive and play bishop to d7 to block the check from your bishop at b5 rather than playing knight to c6? Would you take or retreat your bishop back to another square. Reference @ 14:17

black can trade bishops if he wants. i would continue with bxf4 and the position is still good

Can you make a video about the Catalan opening or the apocalypse atack?

I can't find anything about a denied bishops gambit :/ you just push the bishop pawn?

At 5:55 you say that if the pawn on e5 Is captured you can recapture with the knight, but that would leave the queen unprotected, so black would capture it and check you at the same time. Is that correct?

@createlobo

4 жыл бұрын

No the other knight's protecting the queen.

what about Qh4 Kf1 bc5 after bishop gambit?

Sneaky good attack

why can't we do g3 for the pond on1:53?

Do against early bg4?

What’s the website that you use?

If the queen comes to h4, why can't you play g3 instead of moving the king? The queen can't capture for obvious reasons, and if the pawn captures, Nf3 forces the queen to move. After that, you can capture the pawn on g3. If the queen captures on e4 after Nf3, Qe2 would block the check and threaten the queen. I'm probably just missing something obvious.

Preston Thompson he was talking about different lines in the Fischer defence to the knights gambit. He didn’t address the bishops gambit at all. The point of D6 is to stop Spassky line of ne5 after g5. It has no point when white doesn’t play nf3. He was also wrong about d6 in the nights gambit, but that’s a diff topic

I realize that he didn’t talk about the Bishop’s Gambit specifically but the context of his article was focused on the general gambit. Also, Fischer was arrogant enough that he was willing to play the King’s Gambit even though he deemed it inferior. Stockfish actually likes Black’s chances better after the Bishop’s Gambit as opposed to what Fischer analyzed simply due to the Qh4+ response. D6 there isn’t terrible but not playing Qh4+ would be dubious.
