A Beginner Lesson In The Staunton Gambit

[@shanequigley2767]

Surely you sack your queen instead of the bishop for the qh5 mate for style points 😅

[@DavidEmerling79]

In the line where black plays an early g6: 1.d4 f5 2.e4 fxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 g6 5.h4 Bg7? 6.h5 Nxh5? 7.Rxh5 gxh5 You have recommended 8.Qxh5+. That is a good move and the engine evaluates that as +2.77, but it is the engine's #3 choice. The #1 move (according to the engine) is 8.Bc4 at +6.48. Big difference! The #2 move is 8.Nd5 at +2.96. I love this 5.h4 idea, however! I've never seen it before and I have been playing the Staunton Gambit for several years. I don't know how this is the first I've ever heard of it. Does it have a name? I'm glad I ran across your channel. I actually do not get many opportunities to play that Staunton Gambit as I rarely encounter the Dutch Defense. In 90% of the games, I see 1...d5 or 1...Nf6. Some players try 1...e6 (hoping for a French Defense transposition) or 1...c6 (hoping for a Caro-Kann Transposition). In fact, I see 1...d6 and 1...g6 in response to 1.d4 much more frequently than I ever see 1...f5. I wish more players played the Dutch Defense because I would really like to play the Staunton Gambit.

If you ever face the duras gambit after 1. e4, you can transpose into this with 2. d4

[@yosefcohen483]

Interesting point! I love transpositions!

[@AkamiChannel]

Oh, nice!

[@luxembourgvideoproductions]

I play duras,please not into staunton.

[@animantus]

What a timing! I've just started learning this gambit today.

[@Izzmailov]

Very helpful guide to the staunton gambit! Thank you :)

[@nicolaspacettiterra4043]

d4 f5 e4 d6 is an actual opening though, the Balogh Defense

[@siraf1234]

And its trash

[@azriSAMnnn]

best d4 guide yt

[@anthonygross1963]

Against the nc6 lines, qe2 is a better alternative than qd4 that scores better overall.

[@agustinvolpe1920]

The Staunton is a killer! I win almost every game with it

[@JuanRodriguez-im6ul]

"1:39 You have a checkmate, so, that's pretty awesome". You should do game analysis like Agadmator. Intentionally or not, you would be equally funny

[@borisandalfie]

I really really really really really really like your videos

[@Alex-zy5td]

that was some thorough analysis here! though at some point between 9:00 and 10:00 you said it was winning for white if black took the pawn, but it's not that obvious at my level. i'm not complaining, it's just that it'd be a lot cooler and sorta more consistent if you put those little details in the video!

[@AkamiChannel]

She explains it just after

[@onix5523]

26:50 Anna became Alexandra botez

[@dominikmarton2370]

I thought 2000+ knew pieces can move backwards but I guess not

[@yejunyeo2918]

Yes!!! The d4 guide!!!

[@gm2407]

@10:08 instead of d5 what about h6? Borh sides then have ruined king sides and if trading occurs there are no rooks on that side.

[@danielbures3711]

just take the knight with the bishop and then capture h takes g and he cant take back because he would loose the rook and the position seems kinda nice

[@monowhitemagemtg9627]

Any chance you can put the PGN in the description?

[@janeygenraam7923]

really, really, really nice!

[@Ikimasho_official]

[@Miter_everyCorner-uk6on]

Hi.. Anna😏 you look lovely as always❤️

[@gplejeune]

You are a great teacher but I wish you would talk slower. If you need to make up the time you could have less repetition.
