The excitement alone is worth it. Then the chess starts to make sense. You, sir, are a genius!

Would you play this gambit / in which situations? Also, need name recommendations!

I’m sticking to the Schliemann. White players run into trouble very readily against it.

I have a name that no one expects.... THE SPANISH INQUISITION

I was wondering if this gambit actually had a name. I went to the Lichess opening database and played 3...d5. Lichess calls this the Spanish Counter Gambit which, I think, is a bit of a misnomer since you can only have a *counter* gambit if white is playing a gambit himself - and the Ruy Lopez is certainly not a gambit. It should probably be called the Spanish Counter Attack, just as the Traxler is called a counter attack as the Italian is also not a gambit. The Albin Counter Gambit is used against the Queen's Gambit. The Falkbeer Counter Gambit is used against the King's Gambit. Counter gambits are used against gambits. Counter gambits remind me of a line from the movie Crocodile Dundee. He is being mugged by a knife-wielding hoodlum. Unfazed, Nick pulls out a much bigger knife. "That's not a knife (he shows his much bigger knife). That's a knife." The hoodlum runs away. That's how counter gambits should be played. "That's not a gambit. *THIS* is a gambit!"

after 4. exd5 a6, I find most opponents simply trade bishop for knight, by take the pinned knight with the pawn. This lets them "win" the pawn on e4 after 5. dxc6 axb5, 6. Nxe4... I've looked at this with the fish but you can't really trust the engine when analysing these kinds of gambit positions, as it will always recommend the best line against perfect defence rather than playing for best winning chances vs a flawed human defender. I'll be honest, I can't find a good response to this line so I'd be interested to get your recommendation.

William I like your style. *****

Always lovely to see your insane gambits!!!

How about the Matador gambit?

how about the drunk pawns gambit

Just discovered your videos and having a great time, keep it up! does this counter gambit have a name yet? It is like the Blackburne shilling gambit, only in spanish.

Dude thank you lm getting so tired of getting crushed in the Schlieman

The Bullfighter is a fitting name for this

What do you play against the Scotch? That is the only system I do not really care for when it comes to playing 1...e5

what about the kevitz gambit??

Crazy and fun stuff as usual. 😂 Thanks William

@2:27 "... and Nxe5 is actually probably not even a good move..." Stockfish 14 move depth 40: "Nxe5." 😁

26:22 Be3?

Countergambit really just means gambit played by black not a counter to a gambit, for example the Calabrese counter gambit.

That 0.5% probably was a mouse error and meant to play d6 🤣(btw En Passant is mandatory for French players)

Accelerated Marshal? :)

Maybe name it after a famous Spanish person? The Picasso Gambit? The El Cid?

I'd call it the spanish flu

Spanish middle gambit

What's the price of a Speed over a there? Seems like it's good stuff ! Sniff sniff. Keep up the good work me man yo! ;)
