Because of this video, KG is my favorite opening (but bishop's gambit :P). I've gotten so much better now from when I started playing and I just took this moment to say thanks for teaching me so many things about chess that I didn't know were even in the game (like pins, en passant, openings, etc.).

Queen for a Rook and a Bishop is not that terrible of a trade as it seems, but it is Queen + Pawn for a Rook and a Bishop, which is bad. Nice trap

Yeah my fav opening as well. d7-d6 is Fischers defense. It is definitely a little harder for white but usually you can develop as normal with moves like d2-d4 and Nc3 and Bc4 and white should still be fine. I personally like having the semi open F-File for my rook. I use this to just apply tons of pressure on the black king.

Yes the next video I am planning on making for openings is the Falkbeer Counter opening which is declining the King's Gambit and is my favorite line to counter the KG.

Love your channel man, it is very well done and motivates me to get back into this.

What if after you bring your pawn to H4 he plays Bishop E7? Now if you take he takes back with bishop and if you take his bishop he takes your Knight with Queen and you are in a precarious position to get checked on G3 by his Queen.

it has a very own feel to it, i love that about a opening

At 3:28, instead of g5 my opponent played Bd6 also defending the pawn. It is really hard to learn anything from these types of videos because there are so many lines to think about. I find that only 1/10 times will I get an opening as shown in these videos

Love your videos and your passion.

Just watching this video has boosted my rating about 100. But I was playing a friend, amd I got knight to g5 and black opened up his bishop, and ruined my queen attack. What is the best thing to do then?

Yeah it does weaken your king side. Black's king side is weakened as well. You can always castle queen side if you like but really the kings gambit is a wild and dynamic opening that usually results in seeing who can checkmate their opponent the fastest. It is not for the faint of heart.

After Bc4 and Qh4+ why not block with g3? Also, at 6:37 after Bc4+ and d5, why not take with the bishop? If queen recaptures, then Exg5 and the Queen is gone. Same with taking with the pawn since the bishop is defending but I think the Bishop capture is better since it’s check.

Great video. Just getting started. Diggin it

I like the kings gambit. In little amateur tournaments I was often succesful with the kings gambit, so for a while it became my favorite opening.

Thank you very much. I would consider myself an average player. This was very easy to follow and well explained thank you.

I'll get into the habit of playing this opening as much as possible with the aim of sacking pieces for initiative. Good chess is strategic, yes, but there's nothing like irrefutable aggression lol. Excellent video!

Question: At 2:47, after knight to f3, what if black plays bishop to e7? This applies added pressure to the h4 square, and next turn, black can move his bishop to h4, and if white takes with his knight, black can simply retake with his queen and put white in the same pickle that was discussed earlier.

+Joey Jergens Ty-Farma Looking at it again, the only move I see for white that can stop the attack is g3, but then after black plays xg3 and white plays xg3, black is more easily able to maintain his advantage in material, and white's king side is weakened. So idk. Still seems like a really strong move for black that should have been discussed in the video.

@ne0romantic

That's the Cunningham Defense. You play Bc4 and if Black goes for the check you respond Kf1. This position is about equal, maybe slightly better for White as Black has wasted moves and brought the Bishop to a bad sqaure just to prevent castling. It's detestably not worth it and the "Modern" Cunningham is Be7 followed by Nf6 with no silly Bishop check. Kf1 is not quite forced; you can play the Bertin Gambit but it's not sound (though it's miles more sound than the garbage line suggested in this video) with g3 followed by o-o and White has a lot of compensation for the pawns... it's a fun line, but in general if you don't like having your King on f1, don't play the King's Gambit.

After 10 years.. you sound like you dont age

Thanks for your illustration of the Kings Gambit opening. I've been playing with this opening ever since I came across it. Before this opening I wasn't a fan of Gambits because attempting to use gambits leaves pieces in scattered should the opponent properly defend against the opening. And regrouping could be very timely. But this gambit has surely been a favorite for me and regrouping has been fairly good and my success rate with the opening has been high.

such a beautiful game! thanks for the post!

Hey, Kevin. I just used the King's gambit in a team match game. I have never really studied openings and such until recently. Thanks in large part to you and subscribing to your site, that is changing. We just got to Kxf7...Qxg4. This game is over now. Seven moves... What a devastating opening! Thanks gobs for posting your videos and sharing with us your knowledge of the game. We all appreciate it very much. Kevin

@ne0romantic

If white is going to play the junk line suggested in this video Black wins easily by taking everything and playing Bd6 eg. 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.h4 g4 5.Ng5 h6 6.Nxf7 Kxf7 7.Qxg4 Nf6(Qf6 is also strong) 8.Qxf4 Bd6 of course White can do better. 5. Ne5 and White is still in the game. The most important tip for either color would be to actually buy a book or if you do take chess advice from youtube to find an account of a titled player or at least a strong player and/or check the analysis yourself. It's amazing how many people seem to be believing this video.

3:52 after pawn to h4 my opponent played bishop to e7. What would you do then?

@Rajneesh Kumar "Hi If @ 7:23 mins... Black Plays Qf6... .. ??..." if Qf6 then d4 looks useful. Qf6 also takes away Black's immediate threat of ..d5 or d6 as the B on c8 is undefended. So if then Black plays Nc6 to defend c8 with the rook then W has e5, Black Q has to move and then W has a lot of options such as Bc4+ or Qxf4+..

Just tried this, after PH4 he played BE7 ..... I was lost after that. Just about won but it was close.

"Keeng's gambit"

Yeah if re responds with d5 in that situation then you need to just take that piece with exd5. playing d2 to d4 would be a mistake. If black recaptures with his queen you can develop your knight on c3 with tempo, driving the queen away.

You're an excellent teacher, thanks!

The logic of these opening videos is to understand what your early game options are, how they play out and the best possible counters to your play. If your opponent doesn't respond logically to your move instead of worrying about what you saw in the video think about what you were trying to accomplish with the opening in the first place. Does my opening help me control the middle? Is it trying to set up a certain trap or defense? Is it going to allow me to castle naturally? When you have these goals in mind and your opponent plays sub-optimally it just makes your job easier to accomplish these goals.

Yeah that's what Fischer used to play. You have a few different options. You can develop Bc4, putting pressure on the f7 square, bring pawn to d4, attacking the f4 pawn or develop knight to c3. I personally play knight to c3.

I've started to play the king's gambit for fun to improve my attacking skills. My opponents almost always try to chase my knight and make like 7 pawn moves right out of the opening so it's good training for me

TL;dr, what to do if Black doesn't move up with the second pawn like you describe? Can somebody help me? How does this work out if Black does not move the pawn up to G5 because he/she feels that F4 is not under direct attack? Couple times I tried this, instead of pawn to G5 they pawn to D6. Then moving your corner whitey up won't work because Blacks bishop will move to G4.
