Just for people interested I've played this a ton for a long time and if you are playing 1800+ players you will be in trouble... For sub 1600 it gives great games though.

I am pretty new too chess this year but I have played 2000 games of chess so far and have studied lines like crazy and I am pretty good with the urusov and everytime I play this against really good guys they get me everytime.

The Unbeatable Urusov gambit

legends has it The urosov Gambit is unbeatable

..Your'e so right Kevin the Bc4 move is so powerful in Gambits, especially if you are prepared to sac it. Since visiting your Channel I now trawl the net for opening tricks and Gambits, i'm only a 1500 so they work most of the time. Great vid....."Keep on rolling them out,"

00:27 it's theoretically a draw so it's definitely sound. also it's much easier to play compared to kings gambit. edit: btw I suggest you add the main line with Qh4 (the "draw" I was talking about) the computer doesn't like it at first and says white is worse but then it changes it's mind and gives 0.0. however it's still really easy to play for white because there are way too many ways for black to go wrong and allow white to have a devastating attack because in most positions arising from the gambit all white really needs is an extra tempo. and even if black plays all the precise moves white will eventually be able to sac the rook for black's bishop, win a lot of pawns and open up the game which is technically a draw. If i remember correctly there was also another endgame where the only imbalance was that white had a better pawn structure but was missing the light squared bishop while black attained the bishop pair.

At 2:41, xd6 is a bad move. Bxg5 killing the knight and threatening the queen, leaving a imminent checkmate threat that is unavoidable. Unless if Qd7. THEN, at this rate, xd5 is a devastating move not because pawn structure is destroyed, but because white has the center of the map freely open to add towers into the attack with a castling while black's queen side castling is far from possible (at least 3 moves away) and King's side is being blocked by a bishop that is hard to take away. Prognosis: "and black... resigned" - Mato Jelic. P.S.: Be6 to block the check is a dumb idea for Qb5+ gives the pawn on b7(tested, any attempt to not losing the pawn can receive chaotic responses from white) and capturing the bishop after this pawn was taken would mean sacrificing the Rook, giving white material anyway while destroying black's queen side defense, as now after a bried bishop exchange .

Thanks Kevin from chess heaven.

the position at 0:33 is C24 Ponziani Gambit not the urosov as far as I know/ Urusov is 3.nf3 not d4

Thx for making me understand another great gambit line

This is why I play 2...Nc6 in reply to the Bishop's Opening. In my experience, after 2...Nc6, white plays 3.Nf3 over 50% of the time - probably closer to 80%. It then turns into a Two Knights Defense (my preferred line) or a Giuoco Piano. 1.e4 e5, 2.Bc4 Nc6, 3.Nf3 Nf6 (Two Knights) or 1.e4 e5, 2.Bc4 Nc6, 3.Nf3 Bc5 (Giuoco Piano). I checked the masters database on lichess - of the 1,075 games in which White plays 2.Bc4 and black responds with 2...Nc6, 48% of the time white plays 3.Nf3, 30% of the time white plays 3.Nc3 and 20% of the time white plays 3.d3. The other 2% are 3.f4, 3.c3, 3.Qh5 and 3.Qf3. This is master-level play. Again, in my experience, at the amateur/club level, white plays 3.Nf3 much more frequently than the masters do. My guess is this; as white, if a master wants to play a Giuoco Piano or to play against the Two Knights Defense, he is going to play 2.Nf3 and not 2.Bc4. This probably accounts for the lower rate at which masters reply to 2...Nc6 with 3.Nf3. But amateurs almost *always* play 3.Nf3. One thing is for sure, as black, if you play 2...Nc6, you won't have to worry about the Urusov Gambit.

Yes, you're back!

Kevin, you need to make a video on this line 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3. f4! I find some of the lines of this gambit very aggressive, It's called the Bishop's opening, Berlin, Greco Gambit, If you don't compete against Bishop's opening so much, you should have a look at this.

2:55 if Bxg5 then the reason why ... Qxg5 is bad is not because of Qxf7+ "things get very tricky" but much more prosaically because White just plays Qxg5...

thanks, mr. pon.

I do not understand (after seeing this video) why another channel would title this "The Unbeatable Urusov Gambit...." :/ Love your channel, best chess channel I've seen (much better than ichess imo; sometimes they do not seem to know what they are talking about, not that I am good at chess). I enjoy coffee chess with the Great Carlini too. lol

well... any gambit is unbeatable if you memorise enough lines for it...

it's interesting to see u promote the idea that white should short castle. It obviously works but some say the general idea is to castle on the queen side and center the rooks. u mentioned "overwhelming" and i think that was what u were referring to. It's almost disgusting if u can get the gambit to play out that way. And it seems to form the idea in your opponents mind that your Paul Morphy brought back to life again. Anyway great vid.thx

...after white plays e5 and black responds with Ng4 the other line that you missed is Bxf7+ if the opponent responds with Kxf7 then Ng5+ happens and white wins back his material with Qxg4 and black loses his right to castle after that white can continue with moves like 0-0 (with the trap if black takes the e5 pawn with a threat to the Q, Qh5+ wins him the N

Cause otherwise you would lose the knight, The Queen is there to protect it

Hello. At 1:42 What if black sacrifices his knight with Kxf2 right away?? White has to take with King to f2, to avoid losing Queen or Rook.... Then black plays Queen to h4, checking the white king. After White King moves or g3 is played, Queen can retake the lost material with Qxc4. We are now even in material + with the exeption of white King not being as safe safe as black. PLz explain anyone..am I missing something??

"The Knight's forced to moo"

0:00-8:17 is if knight takes. 8:17-17:26 is if pawn takes

Maybe I’ll give this a try. I usually play the scotch gambit, this should be a nice addition to the repertoire

When black plays Bc5 if you castle it looks like you are just giving away a knight

seems like it can go bad a lot of ways this opening and not enough compensation

Exactly. High risk low reward and honesty not that tricky.

At 2:55, if QxB, then you wouldn't move Qxf7+ as that would only equalize. Instead, you'd get a free queen (with 8. QxQ). :)

Is the Fischer series over?

I have a question regarding 3:17. Why doesn't he just take the knight and get another queen? then his opponent would choose either take the new queen or keep it and take the bishop, in both cases white will be up a knight and maybe a rook.

The strength of white's attack is to castle queenside in this gambit. Why was this not even covered?

Stockfish 14 plays 4. qxd4 instead of 4.Nf6 , maybe this Line is underestimated

What is best variation against 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3. d4 Nc6 Now what are the good lines for white cause I see this very often and unable to defend my self

Why not NxC6 at 13:01? If black captures with the B pawn white can fork his rook with check, and it doesn't look great for black if he moves his queen either

My very first move as black to stop the ursov gambit would be move the knight on kings side to in front of the rooks pawn king side for protection against the weakest square in the game

13:24 Doubled pawns also make files for rooks. This can make your queenside weaker.

Kevin please make more vids. Without you life would be more boring

i believe this is called the ponziani gambit

It is! -the urosov gambit is 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Bc4

At 2’37 why cant we as white take the free knight on g5? Queen cant take back because of the threat of mate. And the all first lines come after the knight is not taken so ...?

13:48 after black takes on b3 with his pawn, I would go f7 with my bishop causing check. If black takes on f7, I would check again with queen on b3 and then taking bishop on b4. This way king is prevented from castling and material will be equal.

@forvalhalla7754

This is most accurate, castling queen side after bg5. Then everything is pinned and all you need to do is find the right sacrifice for mate, especially if they castle. If they don't, it's even easier.

Real question, why would you play this if you can play the nakhmanson gambit.

That's a lot to remember

I hate the fact that after the opening you can't even use theory anymore and just have to use your iq...

a good way to avoid the Petroff and Ruy Lopez.

Wanted to make video on this, but it cant be explained any better than you did :)

2:37 why not kill knight placed at g5 square using bisgop at c1??? The black's queen is targetted and we can attack the pawn at f7 square

3:06 you can take pawn at f7 for checkmate.

What if after the bishop sacrifice f7 pawn pushes to e6 his pawn on d7 takes your queen can easily take theirs with out losing yours. Or his king can take the pawn on e6 and be more out in the open.

2:35 take the knight with black Bishop for free material as black needs to prevent checkmaye

The bishop is protecting the queen and its illegal to move king to squares that are checked

I would’ve taken pawn @ g3 with bishop personally on 05:40. Free pawn or a rook for me if he recaptures with defending pawn

why would the knight move to G5? dark side bishop on white could just take and then checkmate is unavoidable

What if the king does not take the bishop when you sack? You don't have these discovered attacks.
