I used to play the Albin a lot after getting frustrated by lots of QG games. The highlight was a win in 12 moves in a zone final. That was when I truly realised the potency of opening tricks.

I am going to watch this over and over and over.

although, this has been my main counter for the queen's gambit, I still learned lots of different variations and how to deal with them. Thank you!

Nelsons vids are so clear and fun. What I like also is how genuine and honest he is. He will let you know that he lost a game and was outplayed if thats what happened. One of my fav chess youtubers.

As a queen’s gambit player, i’ve been wondering what black was trying to achieve with this - I’ve always just played e3 as my instinctive response to this - then it’s pretty much always exd4 exd4 and it just opens up the e file, which is fine

Yeah I’ve been hit with it before too at around 1000 rating, but I think nobody ever remembers the lines because I instinctively play right into the trap previously but never have had it go the full distance.

Thank you for teaching. Few Chess players are capable.

Hey Nelson I really like your videos they are fun to watch. When I play chess I just play to have fun lol I don't mind about elo so much as just playing but I still like your videos keep it up.

11:46 some might think instead of perpetual check, with Nd6 (check) will force king to move and spoil the castling chances but this is bonus for white at this stage as rook can easily defend and also easy moving rook.

One thing I've noticed after watching a ton of these videos is that Nelson usually ends up with all three pawns on both sides of the kings in their original positions with a ton of action and development already having taken place. It's interesting how much can happen with only two pawns being moved.

I play this opening! I've only had one person fall into the Lasker Trap, but even when they don't, it gives me fun positions. One other interesting fact about the Albin Countergambit is that it has a very famous (albeit fictional) user: Vasily Borgov uses it in his final game against Beth Harmon in The Queen's Gambit. Of course, she doesn't fall for the tricks!!!

The bishop skewer is called the Lasker trap

After watching only a couple pf your videos and been watching many other famous chess you tubers like Agad, Gotham chess and ofc Hikaru, your channel is clearly one of the best

In your video at the minute 4.35, after black queen Qe4, I think white should play Qf3,BxB+, NxB, and black Q exchange or take back the pawn in e5. White winning tempo after black Q move several time. F column open for white and white will be better. I think

Thank you my friend always plays the queens gambit

My go to variation of the albin countergambit is the lasker trap. I've won in as little as 9 to 12 moves.

4:58 Not sure why that's a fine position for black. White does have a weak pawn in the center, but they're even on value and black is farther behind on development.

I’ve been playing the queens gambit as white for years, and I almost always get a better position than black when they play this. It’s very simple to learn how to play against this countergambit, and I win most the games. I started playing the albin countergambit a few years ago when I was 1200. I’m now 1800 and have played thousands of games in this time. Only 3 times has white fallen for the trap. It’s incredibly rare that it actually works, and when it doesn’t work it is very difficult to figure out what to do, and you will lose most games. As an 1800 rated queens gambit player, the most annoying openings for me are the Austrian variation and Budapest gambit. I would recommend these if you’re looking to annoy white.

I love this opening and wish more professional games used it. As black I prefer queen pawn openings so it's either the King's Indian Defense or this opening for me.

That's called Diemer Gambit, the great German Grandmaster Emil Joseph Diemer created it

I never accept a Queen's Gambit, maybe I did once or twice but I don't like to accept, because it's kind of what the opponent wants, isn't it? I also like to play really agressively so this suits me very well!

Why can't the white king go back to it's starting square, after we promoted to a knight on g2? (3:33). It would evade check, the knight is stuck anyways and the white queen stays protected. What am I not seeing here?

3.33 what about king a3 back to starting point?

Literally just won a game using that trap!!

What do you do when they just play 3. e3 ?

This is called the Lasker Trap

As a queen's gambit player, I'm happy if my opponents play the Albin (or any other unsound reply to "get me out of prep"). It never works.
