Thank you! I was rated around 950 and I've been trying to learn the queen's gambit to catch my opponents by surprise. I am now around 1025 and my opponents have been defending like in 2:52. I knew there had to be a weaknesss in that defense. Thanks again!

[@martm216]

Very helpful video, clear and not long-winded. I liked to play the Queen's Gambit, but always quaked if my opponent took the pawn, because I only had a hazy idea as to how I was supposed to regain it! Thanks again.

[@Kestony]

Thanks Martin. I think that everyone doesn't like to play a gambit when they don't know how to win it back or how to get a compensation for it. I hope that you will check out my other videos as well!

[@emilwolff7049]

Absolutly the best opening chess video. Clear to the point and focused on the lines and not going in 1000 places

[@leeshepherd834]

I'm on the verge of breaking 700 and I've been doing this every game with moderate success.

[@mtekleel]

Lee Shepherd I'm 850 in rapid...most black players play either the Slav, semi-Slav or Baltic defence...but in blitz...where I'm about 600...QGA is often played...as white I play the QGA central...also I play QGA as black too...just for fun😅

2:04 Black responds with bishop to d7. Now what do I do?

[@troglodytefingers]

7:53 could someone please explain more about this trap?

[@Zertog3000]

exactly what I was looking for!

[@seeker4fun]

6:01: Ng5 The bishop on e6 is covered by the pawn on f7 If Bd7 is played and you allow Nxh7 then the bishop on f8 is also onder attack. From this point of view is Nf6 not a beter answer?

[@hgwells384]

Enjoy this video, I have used it more than once when a queen gambit was accepted. Just looked again, looking for best response to bh3 to protect g4 pawn in the beginning. Overall a very helpful video especially if you are new to this gambit.

[@Kestony]

Thanks hgwell384!

[@ericpluard819]

what should I do if black plays Bishop to E6 on the 6th move?

[@augustgreig9420]

At 6:06, my engine says this is better for black, even after Nxh7, it has a5 as -0.4

[@JayJay-bg5xv]

At 6:45 what if pawn plays h6 attacking the knight?

[@woudwilder8324]

The problem with playing E3 instead of E4 in my opinion is that you block the bishop more or less and also, it might be argued that you grab more space moving it towards e4, and at 2; 43; correct me if I am wrong, having the pawn on b5 is certainly good but you can not simply capture like is mentioned in the video because as well the horse, the bishop and the rook are guarding the pawn on a6. You can only profit from that if they make the mistake taking that pawn. But for the rest I find it very useful so far

[@Kestony]

Thanks for the question Woud. First of all e3 is played because it wins the pawn back without any risks and white wants to play e3-e4 after he castles and gets kngiht to f3 when black doesn't have any strong response to it anymore. Usually black would try to play for c7-c5 soon and then one of the changes in the structure could arise after black plays cxd4 and white takes back with e3xd4 - a classical isolani position for white with better chances. Immediate e4 runs into e5 from black where a lot of theory is needed to know for white - position can get very sharp. At the highest level all e3, e4 and Nf3 are considered to be main lines.

[@woudwilder8324]

@@Kestony Thank you for the clearing up my confusion . I have always been a intuitive player and just playing for fun with friends but since my son started playing at 12 and managed to get to candidate master in 5 years time I am starting to study the game a little bit more recently as well. We'll see where it goes...

Thank you sir!

[@max9677]

7:54 how should I checkmate?

[@Kestony]

Hello Max, thank you for your question. The position is winning for the following reasons: black's king is exposed, unsafe and in the open center; white is developed and can develop initiative against the black's king; black has no counter play because white's king is safe; white is more active. Engine evaluates the position as +5 for white

[@ultra-almanjabadabadu3412]

[@christhomas1144]

Excellent. Thank you for the video!

[@edwardgreen6401]

What if black plays bishop to d7 to defend the pawn on b5 ?

[@Kestony]

Thank you for your question Edward. You probably mean this line: 1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. e3 b5 4. a4 Bd7 5. axb5 Bxb5 where the easiest way for white to win back the pawn and have big advantage would to play 6.b3 and threaten to take on c4 where due to the pin black is unable to capture on b3. I really recommend watching my video on Queen's Gambit declined as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2Gad3-doL6nhMU I hope to see you around in my other videos! :)

[@MateiMircea100]

i don't understand why would black resign at 7:52

[@Kestony]

Hello Matei, thank you for your question. The position is winning for white due to the following reasons: black's king is exposed, unsafe and in the open center without the right to castle in completely open position; white has more developed pieces and can develop initiative against the black's king which is fatal and will result in black losing material soon; black has no counter because white's king is safe; white is much more active. Once you get to a certain level you understand that both you and your opponent know how hopeless black's position, and there is no point in torturing yourself anymore. However, if one does not understand why black is lost, it makes sense for him to continue the game and at low levels any outcome is possible

what happens if you defend B5 pawn by bishop D7,then again defending by b5 by c6 pawn,so there is double defending. and also c6 pawn

only works if ur opponent moves the way you move

[@niksig5449]

this one goes straight in the notebook

[@ophiolatreia93]

Is it advisable to get the pawn back straight away with the Queen?

[@Chris.M]

No you have much better things to do as white, but on lower level, or casual blitz it may work just fine.

[@hisokabeatbox6365]

I want to ask something.. so if in 5:26 white plays: pishop takes pawn on c4 .. after pishop takes pishop there is queen check on a4 and getting the pishop back.. isn't that a good move? "I'm new to this game guys, don't kill me" 😂

[@garry12777]

After 7:51 why does white resign?

[@floppydengu7949]

The position is just awful for black. He can never castle, his king is dislodged into the center of the board so there's mating opportunities, bishop can take the undeveloped knight for free, black's dark square bishop has to watch over B7 so long as the queen is standing where she is, and like in the other variations white still made more space for his undeveloped pieces than black did.

Nothing protects to the knight on c6. Normally that line will go something like 8) Qf3 Nc6 9) Qxc6+ Bd2 and then retreat your queen ( I suggest to e4).
