I just did my 1st "Oh no, my queen" checkmate in Stafford. It feels so dirty tho... i love it, thank you Eric

I only saw the second game live and was just astonished. Nice to see the back story with it now, thanks :-)

When Rosen sacs a piece, he also sacs the peace

This is an awesome line!! It gives me the answer about my problem from the system of White which d3 and c3 pawn pushes! So wild and aggressive👍 Thanks a lot for this great ideas.....

that was really cool to see all the prep you put into just the stafford alone

When you are 20 moves in and it is still theory...

Wow. Is this video free? So many crazy lines in the Stafford Gambit!

I have seen all your Stafford gambit videos and I am a huge fan. I do have one question. What is a good line for black if white plays pawn H3 after you move your bishop out.. preventing your knight to G4? Just curious how you would play that line, would love to see a short video! Thank you! Love your content.

Hey Eric I live in saint Louis, hopefully after this COVID goes away we’ll bump into each other at a tournament

At 11:00 when you played Be6, for some reason I was looking at Rh1 to sac, white takes with g rook, pawn g2 discovered check with queen, Qd2, then pawn takes rook on h1 to trade and be up a queen.

@dylanstevenson7488

problem is when black plays g2 your queen is attacked by the now white rook on h1. If you take the rook before playing g2, king escapes to d2 and your attack has vanished.
