Sacrifice your integrity to crush his soul .. hell yea baby! If you can’t take the hits, don’t step into the ring. 😀

The King's Gambit is a great club weapon against weaker opponents, but there's a REASON it is so seldom seen at the higher levels of play. White will enjoy some space and attacking chances in the beginning but it is defensible by Black. White's attack has to be as precise as Black's defense. The burden is not completely on Black. If there is so much as a pause in White's attack, it can turn south very quickly and White will soon be regretting all the material he gave up. As Black, I often accept the King's Gambit and I'm surprised to see that many White players do not know the opening as well as they should - especially when the gambit is accepted. It's almost as if they're surprised that the gambit has been accepted since they're mostly used to playing the King's Gambit Declined.

The Kings Gambit doesn't score the best itself but the Muzio variation actually scores solidly even in the few gm games it's played in but you're much more likely to see 3.d6 than you will g5 at that level

Agreed. It's a flashy gambit, but if black is able to defend himself and survive it's game over for white. White has to be very smart to win.

@@mopbrothers not really, in most lines White just ends up with a better position not a crushing attack. But the position is better due to central control and the ability to attack, not because of a positional crush. What David says is right though, you cannot play the kings gambit without learning a huge amount of theory, because there are many different lines and you really need to know the right move orders for white or you can lose very quickly. You have to be very precise. The only opening I can think of where you need to be more precise is the Latvian gambit, which is the KG in reverse, and requires near perfect play to stay alive against stockfish.

I just saw this video for the 1st time today and I tried it on a guy that typically beats me like a drum. I can tell by his reactions he was confused by my gambit moves and he was very quickly in huge trouble after he took my knight. It wasn't long before I was typing GG 😃

Thank you for your great videos I have played my friends including the one that had taught me how to play chess. Using your videos I had won 10 out of last 13 games. Usually it was around 50-50. Putting the kings gambit into my overall play and focused positions have made it easy for me to come off with a strong attack and allow me to apply lots of pressure against my opponents.Thank you very much for not only the opening, But the theory that is behind them. Makes it easy to decide what to do against an uncommon move and stay focused on the main goal of exploiting area to gain control!Thanks again and subbed! *Best I have found on youtube!

I swear the more things I find on the King’s Gambit the more I’m falling in love with it...

I use to play the Muzio, but it's easier said than done that's for sure. The opportunity for it also rarely presents itself. There is actually an amazing game played by naka here on youtube where he plays the Muzio gambit and wins. It's one of the few games I've seen that I'll never forget.

I laughed so hard at commentary :D It's like sacrificing in this opening is your personaly hobby :D

don't play the carokann cave man which can sac a rook in about 7 moves or play leela chess which sacrifices pieces just to get them out of the way AND can beat stocklfish in almost every game

Hello Kevin... thanks for the videos.... please keep them coming.. you are doing a very good job... I really like all your videos... you take the time to show the moves properly without rushing... I like it..

@Shadowboost playing Nc3 is an important move as it allows to connect the rooks, and after black takes bishop and white captures back with his queen and Bg7, white can then play 15. Rxf6 Bxf6 16. Rf1.

This is the best explanation for kings gambit, I have seen so far.Thanks-a-lot.

I'm practising the King's Gambit heavily and I really enjoyed this line and the explanations. Nice work, I'll give it a try!

There is no way I'm playing this gambit against a stronger player

MVL played it against Nakamura, twice. Won 1, lost 1. Lost one was played yesterday, MVL was in comfortable position but finally lost due to mistakes. Still 1-1.

@mrengler1 yes white still has a great attack. After Bg7, white can now play 15. Rxf6 Bxf6 16. Rf1. Black is not only going to lose the bishop on f6 but he has none of his pieces that can help in the assault from white. Easy win for white.

@Comosiem only been like 10 days, but yes still alive and making more videos :)

"It's just going to be GG..." Hahaha, love it.

@Penguinator44 I haven't seen this much but I would recommend just playing d4 and solidify the center of the board. The bishop on d6 will really hurt his development of his queen side pieces while white will start to overwhelm the board with his pieces.

this. was. excellent. - best chess channel on KZread, hands down.

Thanks a lot! Well done explain with good English and clear words! Now I am leaning toward this opening King Gambit. :)

EXCELLENT KEVIN!! NO ONE GETS BORED WITH THIS WILD GAMBIT!!

Just played this, and the first game it was accepted I won. Thanks for the video!

15:09 "Obviously Knight can't come here or the King will be GG"

I love the King's Gmabit! I'm a mainly 1.d4 player, I love positional chess, my only opening in my repertoire that starts 1.e4 is the KG - I've never played the muzio/double muzio but I'm deffo gonna try this out online before playing it in my club games or tournaments!! Wickid vid!! :)

Instructive and entertaining video. I've already watched it more than once and expect to revisit.

Think you very much

Chris....WHAT'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!

"The knight can't really come here to d5, thats gonna be gg". lol

10:42 After Bxf4 Houdini suggests Nf6 and gives black a decent edge.(around 1.6 pawns) Also after this, according to the engine the best move is Be5 and after the queen trades I don't find it difficult to play the position with black.

WOW THIS IS A COOL OPENING I'LL CHECK IT OUT ON MY OPPONENTS

Thanks Kevin, Actually yours is the name I hate most. My gf's bf's name ~.~ But nice to hear familiar voice amongst chaos of Kingcrusher s and chess.com s. Kudos to Bobby fischer, people tend to stay away from Kings gambit, as he religiously busted it out of business. So, many people are unaware of the damage this line can inflict. Nice work, its appreciated.

In the last scenario when black moves a knight after bishop C4, bishop should takes on F7 check. The king has to take bishop. Then queen takes pawn on F4 check. No matter where the king goes it's checkmate. Best move for black is an awkward move, knight to H6, protecting F7.

I'm going to use this now, and I recommend all of you too as well because nobody knows about it right now.

10:37 i recommend pawn g4, your opponent will choose en passant, and you win their queen, with real easy mates on the board

@Fenchai23 then you can move pawn to d4, to let bishop open for attack or possibly, move pawn to e5

Thanks 👍

The stunt opening!

This is my ALL-TIME favourite opening--it is the opening that will keep me coming back and playing chess, no matter what! Peter Millican, one of the best correspondence gurus, had written a treatise on the Double Muzio Gambit which is now unavailable. Luckily, though, I have it, and it includes reams and reams of analysis, finally coming to the correct conclusion that White is pressing for a win in all lines. Steinitz's 9. ...Qf5?! isn't so strong after 10. Bxf4! (and not 10. g4?!) ...TRY IT!

Paul Murphy is the master of this gambit.

I wish I had better memory, I find it so hard to remember openings when I play. So many different variations of every opening, makes me dizzy

Every time I apply this or the Kings Gambit .. they’re moving the opposite side .. and I still end up losing ..

0:29 black queen should move h5 checking king instead of taking the pawn

just want to thank you for doing God's work...it put the sprint in my moves, the pepper in peoples pants and it's a strategy I'm lighting my current games over... instead of dawdling through games like a headless chicken...:-)

I was in a chess competition the other day. In the games I won, I used a similar opening. I just got my bishop to a2 [after the first few moves] and got my queen to f7. My opponents didn't see that one coming!

I played king's gambit a lot when I first learned chess,not because it's a sound opening but it had a tendency to throw my opponent off balance.If black wants to save his pawn advantage he loses a lot of tempo.

@concept015 yes you can because you have doubled up the file with the rook and queen and if the queen takes the bishop then your queen takes the queen and black can't do anything about it.

I just beat my computer at Hard lvl after three days straight of watching your videos without clicking ctrl+z, thnx man :D

12:32 I think I found a good reply to this: instead of nonsensical Nc6, Black can just go c6, then d6, planning Be6, Ne7 with d5 and castling queenside

I know that. But it seems pretty easy to defend. after ...Kxf7, Bc4# Ke8, Qxg4 Qf6,and black seems okay while having an extra piece.

Good review. thanks

lol sorry mixed up check with the checkmate sign, but yeah, I agree. Thanks.

@Penguinator44 I'm thinking d4. I mean it adds another attacker on the pawn and gets ready for the e5 push to get the bishop out of there anyway.

Great video, Kevin! I think I've found my new line.

In general, King's gambit works great for me online.

Like KG will check out this variation looks interesting to me.....enjoyed the vid

i wish more of my opponents would play this -.-

love this guy

watch the 2010 world blitz championship in the related section it shows a good way to defend this as black. Black lost but its still a good video to watch if your interested in this line of play at all as Kevin didn't show some of the opening moves that black did.

After white knight B1-C3, black queen captures knight, white bishop E3-D4 (split attacking the knight and queen), black queen can retreat C3-C6 (partially protecting the black knight while eyeing down on the G2 pawn) ... if bishop takes knight, no problem ~ slide the rook H8-G6 ... if queen takes knight, queen takes queen and there's not enough stuff on the board left over to mate the black's king ~ black has more pieces advantage ...

This is awesome.

Actually, never mind ~ there's a mate in three with bishop takes knight after black queen C3-C6 ...

@Shadowboost yeah, i was really confused with Nc3 first. maybe the connecting of the rooks is really important for this attack?

I do this every time in tournaments .. 40% of them fall for it

that's opening is real deal

15:13 on replay

@boswell255 in kevin's vid on the king's gambit, that knight gets sac'd on black's f7 pawn to draw the king out

I used to play a strong club player with a rating of around 1300 who learned to play whilst in jail and I won about two games in five.I hit him with the King gambit and he was slow off the mark and I slaughtered him.The next occasion he brought in a book about 50mm thick just on the King gambit and I never used it again against him.

at 9:03, a better move would be... Bd4 with a double attack and a better position

@v1das007

9 жыл бұрын

I believe it's a mistake in the video. If white develops the knight, queen takes, white bishop attacks the black queen, but the queen can go to c6 and defend black knight easily. So not only it would be a better move to fork with bishop immediately, it's the only move really, otherwise the chance is lost.

@dispatch1347

9 жыл бұрын

***** I was wondering about Bd4 when I watched the video as well, Stockfish agrees that it's the best move, and Black is forced to give up the queen, Qxb4 just to avoid mate. Evaluation of +9 after Bb4. However Nc3 is also fine, black is just losing after Qxb2.

I find it hilarious how the video uploader/narrator can say that Black is going to be "down in material" at around the 9:56 mark. Sure Black is likely going to lose it's Queen, but at that point it has already taken 3 of White's pieces, and can take White's remaining minor piece (the Bishop on d4) as well prior to giving up it's Queen. And while White may be ahead on development and has Black's King out in the open for the time being, Black will still have 6 pieces whereas White will only be left with it's Queen and 2 Rooks. So unless White can continue to relentlessly pursue the Black King and in the process capture more pieces, Black can definitely recover from this position.

@BmaRayCyrus Vienna game, gambit variation. But in a different move order. :-)

9:06 Why bring the knight to c3, why not immediately go to d4 with the bishop, seems stronger to me than unneccessary (?) giving away the knight.

@mopbrothers I never said he would lose his queen. All it does is let white move g3 without a loss in tempo.

@FromMuToYou yeah, but that doesn't mean the black will lose his queen.

14:43 What if black plays Nh6 rather than Nf6? This looks better to me because the knight is defending the f7 pawn but it can't be captured by the queen because the dark square bishop is defending it? If the white queen captures the f4 pawn Black can play Qe7 adding a third defender to the f7 pawn and I can't see white having a insurmountable advantage, Black can aim to castle queenside.

Great video, I like the way You elaborate the moves...The only problem is that NO ONE I face at chess board plays that badly...I ve tried this at least 20 times and not a single opponent followed the suicide moves You suggested, after first 5 moves....like someone already mentioned here, this is only good in bullet/blitz games.

Yes it is unsound. But very difficult for black player to find the correct move. I remember i game played by GM Shirov playing wiyth white pieces and ceussind the black using muzio gambit. U can search it under the title 'Shirov magic'

boy if you could master this, you would beat so many people.

Nice video. ..

After Bc5+, can you play d4, giving up a pawn in order to activate your dark-squared bishop? I'm guessing so considering how much material is being given up. If anyone is looking for a game where the Muzio Gambit is played, Shirov vs. Lapinski in 1990 is a fantastic miniature to watch.

I wouldn't recommend it. Black takes the pawn with check, thus gaining a tempo as well as eyeing the b2 square. Personally I'd stick with Kh1.

This is a fun opening to play in online blitz.

@thechesswebsite This amazing game is a stalemate on 10 moves! 1. c4,h5, 2. H4,A5, 3. Qa4,Ra6, 4. Qxa5,Rah6, 5. Qxc7,f6, 6. Qxd7+,Kf7 7. Qxb7,Qd3, 8. Qb8,Qh7, 9. Qxc8,Kg6, 10. Qe6

whats the name of the opening were you play e4, e5 Nc3, Nc6 than f4, xf4 but thanks for the video, i like your opening best :) and Kings gambit is verry fun to use in fast games

@FromMuToYou I didnt say you said that. I'm saying Kevin was wrong about black being forced to lose his queen.

What happens at 11:39 if instead of moving the black bishop to C5 and attacking the King you moved the bishop to D6 to protect the F4 pawn?

The f7 square has a counterpart to it though. The f2 where the white king is defending that pawn. Is that square also a weak spot for white or does the fact that white moves first make it less of a disadvantage?

I tried against free chess app at level 8. Not sure what is the best move against Bh6. I won, but not really satisfied with my game. Any pointers to play Muzio Gambit better? 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. Bc4 g4 5. O-O gxf3 6. Qxf3 Bh6 7. d4 Nc6 8. Qh5 Qf6 9. Nc3 Qxd4+ 10. Kh1 Qxc4 11. Bxf4 Bxf4 12. Rxf4 d6 13. Ra1f1 Ne5 14. Nd5 Kd8 15. Qg5+ Kd7 16. Qg7 Ng6 17. Rxf7+ Ng8e7 18. Nxe7 Ne5 19. Nd5+ Nxf7 20. Rxf7+

5:30 what should white to if black bishop c5, white king h8, and black queen takes the pawn?

Ok this doesn't work, I played this against a computer rated 1630, and after king castles, their are several moves which stop this Gambit. 1. Black moves it's pawn to e5 2. Black moves it's pawn b5 3. Black moves it's knight to c6 There are moves after White castles King side, but any of these moves I mentioned stops this Gambit dead. If you are playing someone lower ranked it may work, but..... Trust me, I ran over three different complete games and it didn't work. I've beaten someone with this before, but it's honestly a shitty position.

If the dark squared bishop comes down to c5 early on I would have proffered playing d4, sacrificing the pawn & then moving the king to h1 if he takes since that would allow my dark squared bishop to move.

what chess program do u use for ur videos?,.not that i want to make vids too, i just like de way it shows u which pieces it attacks ect ,.thanks :)

I love you Kevin!!

You make too much noice for a chess game.

10:00 lets say black plays Qxd4, white recaptures Qxd4 and then a development move from black probably Bg7 or Be7 to defend f6, what will white do now? i mean white got the queen and all but lost all his minor pieces, was it rly worth it? and the attack is pretty much over due to f7 been defended by 2 pieces, what will white do now? (and sry if this is a silly question, the answer might be obvious, but im a beginner ;) )

Yeah, it is totally worth it. after 14.Qxd4 blacks position is lost. If 14...Be7 or 14...Bg7 then 15.Rxf6!! Bxf6 16.Rf1 and there is no way to put a second defender to protect the pinned bishop and white has a winning attack. Black either gets mated or gives back more material then he has won.

At first glance it looks bad, but whites queen will eventually take back blacks minor pieces, and if you didn't notice, whites King and pawns can begin to March forward prime immense pressure on black, while his queen and rooks can harass the king with checks.

at 15:00, after black plays d5 and white takes with exd5, why not play Bf7, thereby defending the knight with both queen and bishop. if white decided to sacrifice for example the bishop, the king can just take it with no repercusions. white would be forced to develop further and then black can develop some kind of counterplay. at least from my perspective, but i am a beginner in chess :-)

@baconsogood454

i'm looking at 9:55 where you say white is materially ahead after black's queen falls. white traded all 4 minor pieces to win that queen. after Qxd4+, Qxd4, Bg7, Rf2, Rf8, Rf1, does white still have an attack?

Thx for the vid mate. Any thoughts on next moves if at 6:54 white queen declines taking the D4 pawn and goes Qf5? Cheers.

Is there a move for black in the beginning that can come strong in position after he took white's knight and pawn?
