    Caution... in the 4...Bxd4 line, Kevin recommends 5.Ng5?! however this move simply does not cut it against strong players. After 5...Nh6 6.c3 (Kevin's suggestion) 6...Bb6 7.O-O O-O Stockfish evaluates this position as -1.00 meaning white has absolutely zero compensation for the pawn. Instead of 5.Ng5, the best move is 5.Nxd4 because at least now white has the (double!) bishop pair as comp. Which leads us to why most master level players play 4...exd4, as it does not surrender the bishop pair and instead can transpose into highly theoretical lines deriving from the Scotch Gambit.

    This seems to be the most obvious route though black is more than willing to give the bishop pair for a central pawn. I don't believe this line had any strong masters playing it regularly. 4. exd4 is more common because they know their max lange basics.

    My first gambit was the Stafford and I learned it thoroughly (although I didn't really need to memorise at all since it's so intuitive), and it won me many games. I'll be doing the same with this gambit, and overall I'm learning a ton of stuff about chess that looks fun. Didn't see this gambit yet but I bet it's fun! edit: just watched the video. I think this is a very beautiful gambit.

    The Italian opening is really instructive for developing players, but a bit too complex for beginners. It really demonstrates the complexities of such concepts as pins, discoveries, and gambits, probably more than any other opening. What is most fascinating about the Italian game for me, is that the game is utterly rewritten by the exchange sequence alone. There are many snakes in the grass !

    Yeah but what kind of beginner gets into GAMBITS before understanding the basics of the game? I didn't even know what gambits were when I was a beginner. If you don't know what pins, forks or discoveries are then you shouldn't be Gambiting as it's just going to be too difficult for you. Far more worthwhile just understanding the game and then coming back to Gambits, but this time, they're going to be more INTUITIVE and easier to UNDERSTAND, thus easier to LEARN.

    Love your videos . Most higher rated players get to the position at the 11 minute, which white proceeds to a normal game. AN ALTERNATIVE to this and the evans is an aggressive opening I like to spring on opponents. At move 4, white bishop takes f7, check. King captures. White knight takes pawn, check. Black knight captures. Queen to h5, check. If king moves, the knight falls.. If knight stops the queen check by going to g6, the bishop falls. White is down 1 point but black cannot castle, kingside is shattered. Black will be hard pressed to protect an exposed king AND develop his pieces. White is free to develop, castle either side and keep black on the defensive. All at the cost of 1point!! I think white is in an awesome position after seven moves. I have yet to have an opponent develop a coherent strategy, especially since they never played this opening. Try it! Comments?

    Good video, I like this gambit but most of these lines I didn't really play. At 11:25 there is a way better continuation, that's the one i mostly get into, instead of taking the pawn back, you take F7 with the bishop, check, after king takes, queen to d5 check (soonyou are getting a bishop back) if the king moves to the white square you check again on h5 before taking the dark bishop, they usually play g6, weakening even more the king side, after you take the bishop you can castle and return the queen to a safer position, you are not in a hurry to capture the pawn with the knight because the capture on b2 actually helps you even more, targeting the weak king side with your bishop, however if after a couple of moves they dont capture, it means they realized this and there is no point in keep waiting, and they can even play pawn to c2 just to annoy you

    They're just being deuschey. There's nothing wrong with Bxf7. Stockfish 10 calls it the strongest move in the position. It's good to dislocate their king. Black's pawn on c3 isn't a big threat. If it takes b2, good for your bishop. If it pushes c2, you just develop the knight and recapture it down the line. It could become a nuisance on c2 if the d-file is opened since your rook can't use d1. My own strategy is usually to hold back with my queen because I like to develop my pieces with tempo against the opponent's queen. I'm not a very strong player. That's two cents.

    I think it's because then you'd be losing a Knight and a Bishop which isn't exactly an optimal move. Also, opponent could just move their King and it would leave your Knight hanging. Easier to defend Bishop if it gets attacked and it's just better to protect aggressive pieces from a distance, or at least in this specific position. I could be wrong with any of these three sentences so feel free to correct me if anyone else ever reads this.

    Yes the 5)Ng5 line is not the normal move, but NxB. The commentary is sloppy, incomplete, and hence pretty useless, especially for beginners. It gives some general ideas. But not conclusive on what to do. Not impressed.
