[@maelstrom57]

lol I remember watching this channel when I started playing chess 5 years ago. I would play the openings shown in these videos hoping my opponents would fall into a trap but it _rarely, rarely_ happened. Thing is, when you're a beginner your opponents don't know any theory and they seldom play the moves you want for the trap to occur. When you get better, your opponents already know the trap or they're good enough to spot it before it's too late.

It's pretty common that my opponents decline the e4 pawn, I'd say two out of three. So If you are planning to practice Blackmar-Diemer, you should definately look at the sidelines too. Caro-Kann advanced (1. d4 d5, 2. e4, c6, 3. e5) is one of your best options to continue :)

[@willpower2018]

I am a novice chess player and I would like to thank you for your videos. I play chess via an app and I could not get a handle on the game for a long time. Then I watched your video on your ten favorite chess openings and I was introduced to the Fried liver attack which has opened up the game of chess for me tremendously. This trap is interesting and I think it will be yet another tool in my arsenal. Thanks again.

[@JoseARosas-wl1fx]

I love playing this gambit with white! Honestly it usually leads to great positions for me (I’m at 1750 at bullet chess). However the most common move I usually see that can lead to an easy win, is after Queen takes on f3, black will sometimes play bishop g4. And then from there I just take on b7 with the queen. Usually black will usually play Knight it d7 or c6, then knight to c5 is just winning for white at that point

[@dustinolson5731]

Coa ur ennemie is an amateur

[@deepdive1338]

@@MrNoodles34 or they don't fall for traps. Traps on work on amateurs. For example I don't know all the traps in the fried liver attack and the ones I do I don't know too extensively but common sense tells me if my opponent allows the fried liver, white should always better if they play the best moves so I know if my opponent plays it either a) he's a moron b) he's going for a trap and I just know to look for it like if I just don't take on f7 after d5 exd5 Na5, then I'm just up a pawn for the whole game or if he plays bxf3 I just don't take back, it's common sense. In this opening for example, instead of being greedy, black just doesn't take d4 and just develops his pieces and is comfortably a pawn up with better pawn structure, how can that be bad for black? All in all any decent players knows that you should always develop your pieces first, and if you are up 1 pawn, you don't need to risk the game by grabbing a 2nd pawn

[@Spudst3r]

Played this at a tournament 1600-level. Had success with it at blitz games, but definitely not at a tournament. Once your opponent puts their Queen on g5 to avoid the trap, you get some nice attacking play but none of it is sound enough to really dent black's defense. Once black develops, you've basically just given up two pawns and complete centre control of the pawns for nothing. I spent the rest of the game in an epic struggle to win pawns back to make it even for the endgame.

[@marsharupe8112]

3:39 "Keep in mind at the same time we are attacking his queen" ??? How are we attacking his queen?

[@burntwafflese6388]

He can move the knight to check the king, and in doing so he allows his queen to attack the opponents queen

[@theminuteman6211]

a discovered attack is where a piece "blocking" the attack of another one of your pieces is moved. Because the piece moved in this case also places check, this means that the discovered attack lets white pick up the black queen.

[@antibullyingcrabcrab8281]

I think it is because of the bishop at f1

[@oblivionfps6058]

He meant king

[@dannybaldivia2731]

Yeah he messed up a lot on this video

[@NOMVrewq]

@doomedenigma2 at your 9th move with the white queen checking at c6, black doesnt necessarily have to play Kd8, black can use his remaining knight to block the check right? sry i dont know how to use the proper notation like you did to show the steps. :P

[@dhawalkhera8753]

Hey, Nice demonstration, but I want to point on one specific move after 5:46. Why Can't Black's bishop Capture the Rook straight after the Check(before moving his queen back to c5), This would further disrupt his(white's) game and no longer black would be prone on the d file by the rook..rest of the game will be taken care smoothly.

[@lodrbyroni]

Watched this video...used the trap...he defended different then usual. instead of knight to E4 he went bishop to F5, so i said screw it and continued the trap anyways..he never used the queen to take the pawn thought so my D4 pawn made it all the way to F7 forcing his king out and it still worked beautifully

[@VedantKarandikarrox]

at 3:40 how is white attacking the queen

[@jasonchen542]

U said that when I was half way done

[@Michael-nn9dr]

Because if he takes the horse the bishop can take the queen.

[@dvysku]

5:29 Here, 1. Nxc7+ Nxc7 2. Bb5+ Nxb5 3. Qxb5+ simply forces a mate. Obviously far better than simply taking a knight.

[@kadieanavales2942]

But.. that's just losing for white though. After 3. Qxb5+, you get Bd7 with a tempo on the queen. Can't take it because it's protected by the knight, so the white queen has to move. At that point, g2 and e3 will be hanging, and of course you choose to defend the bishop. So after 4.Qb3 protecting the bishop, you have Qxg2 winning a pawn. White couldn't play something like 4.Rd4, because you get Qxe3+ and if 5.Kb2, there's Qe1+ 6.Rd1 Qxd1#. If 5.Kd1, then Qxd4+ and blacks completely winning. Therefore, white is forced to protect bishop with 4.Qb3, then after Qxg2 with tempo on the rook, you have to lose the knight too or else you lose the rook. The knight has no where to go and after Queen takes knight and it's completely winning for black. e6 to Be7 is coming and you can't stop black from castling without sacrificing anything and after castle, white would be in a huge disadvantage tempo-wise and piece-wise

[@JukeboxJoeB]

Just from my own personal experience, I think alot of the basic traps actually don't work on people who are total beginners, because there moves often don't follow any logical pattern and are often somewhat random and pointless. Alot of the traps depend on you making specific moves but they also depend on the opponent making one of the 2 or 3 most sensible moves. A beginner will often do things that make no sense and are unpredictable, but if often ends up "accidentally" messing up what you were trying to do. Any thoughts?

[@nafishy]

Yup true

[@Spudst3r]

I still feel like a good player could develop with a tight defensive positional game that could negate the development advantages and lead to black eventually leading with two pawns into the end game. Once the queens trade this seems like a pretty hard opening to get right and White is forced to be super ultra aggressive at the end of the opening or it will get squeezed out in the end by the pawn disadvantage.

[@edmondhuet1459]

I tried this trap, and it worked 1/3, which was still awesome though because I love this trap. The two times I couldn't use it, was when my opponent, as i move knight to B5, moves his knight to D7, blocking the D file from my rook. What do I do in this case ?

[@leoscott8487]

Qxb7 is the best option, although if you get your queen out of the way, you can play Nxc7, and win the rook on a8.

[@T1Oracle]

The thing I love most about these videos is when I do them against the computer and lose because it doesn't do any of the things you said it would do.

[@piggy8761]

Computers dont fall into traps

[@charlesthompson5241]

if black already wins 1 pawn...which is enough to claim a strong static advantage....i dont understand why it makes any sense for him to play qxd5

[@hdcloud9352]

Just remember, when you play people that aren't good enough to fall into your gambit/trap, more often then not they actually put themself in equal or worst position, you just have to find the answer. Those positions come from grandmasters thinking about the best possible moves to play after you play your move. Most moves that fall out the lines if not studied before hands are usually just as bad.

[@MrNitrodude50]

When I played, this trap has never worked. When I push bishop to e3, my opponent did q d6. Other opponents never move their bishop to g4.

[@8divyaanshdaga67]

MrNitrodude50 then u should castle , the queen will automatically go to other square

[@basamfuad7054]

dev daga I believe you can’t castle if an opponents piece is checking a spot between the king and the rook. Which in his case the queen would be checking the d1 square between his rook and king, so he can’t castle.

[@mangeshpawar9188]

@@basamfuad7054 So how to beat opponent in this situation? In my case when I played bishop to e3 opponent played queen to d7.

[@basamfuad7054]

Mangesh Pawar you can play Bishop F1 to D3. Now you can castle and they most likely will move one of their pawns. You can then move ur bishop on d3 back or to e2 giving more control over the center. Now you’re attacking his queen with the rook. Most likely they will move the queen out of the way or even try to attack ur queen but at that point everything is setup.

[@scarletevans4474]

I was thinking for some time why Black can't just take the Rook with a Bishop at 5:46 (Bgxd2), but as doing it in my head, I kept forgetting that after capturing the Rook, the Bishop will no longer be defending d7 square, so I kept including him (along with the f6 Knight) into defenders, thus missing the mate sequences :D Great video, thank you! I learned something new again :-)

[@VoraXYZ]

Brilliant! I'm going to try this out on my friends. Still, assuming that the queen doesn't move to b4 (1:20) and instead moves back to somewhere in the d file, then what? That way, you won't be able to castle. It's quite a gamble, though it's very effective if they fall for the trap. Anyone?

[@davidlayman865]

You don't have to castle to get the room on the d-file. You can try simply moving the rook next to the king, attacking the queen.

[@VoraXYZ]

Oh, never thought of that. Thanks very much! :)

[@VoraXYZ]

Nooo... damn it, they after taking the first pawn, they usually never proceed to taking the second pawn, so this trap can't work.

[@VoraXYZ]

***** I will try. I'm already practicing against human players. This trap usually never works out. Thanks anyway!

@@VoraXYZ it dosn't mater if he dont fall for it than you take his, than you have a much more opened game than he does plus he can't contest your pawn he because your knight defend it so you are even but whit more options

[@Spudst3r]

That said, I think I will definitely be using the Blackmar Gambit (and hopefully the Halosar trap) when I start with 1. e4 and black pulls 1... d5. I respond to that with my Queens pawn (2. d5) already, so this opening adds on to that nicely. - Looks great for speed chess, lots of open play! - Seems great for getting new players into the skill of playing an open game without a queen, in particular handling bishop/knight play. Against a good player I'd be hesitant to play this though.

7:21 What if the black bishop move to g4 first before the queen

[@burrito267]

+wanderlust White queen can take on b7, can he not?

[@Gypscrew]

I had to bring that part up because if the Queen takes the knight right above it, now your queen is trapped or if you take his queen and put him in check, he will move his (c7) pawn to (c6). you couldn't take his bishop with your queen since his knight will take your Queen o.O chances are in this case Queen will ALWAYS take the knight on (b5). unless of course you want to take out both Queens . lol

[@argonaaut]

Cute trap, but I'm not convinced. After 7...Qxf3, Nxf3 Black just plays 8...c6. This prevents incursion by the White queen's knight. If Black plays too ambitiously then maybe you can use your superior development to attack weak points in the position, but instead black can just "turtle up" and play e6 Be7 0-0 etc. Once Black's position is secure, he can advance either the e or c pawn and open the position up. With no central pawns, White can't pressure the Black pieces or use pawn levers to create holes in the Black position. The only weaknesses in Black's position are the central and queenside dark squares, but you can't really coordinate to attack them effectively. Even in an optimal position you might land a knight on d6 or something, but this hardly worth 2 pawns.

[@amandablaise2112]

[@micahnightwolf]

Love the traps. You have really made me a better chess player. Now I'm into studying chess computers and the algorithms they use. Unfortunately, since there are no chess clubs nearby, I spend all my time playing vs the computer. The only thing about that is chess computers are materialistic, meaning if they see an opportunity to go for a kill, they will nearly always do it. Gambits nearly always work, for instance. And outposts sometimes get blown up, even if it costs the computer a minor piece. It really depends on the algorithms used by the chess engine, but a good many of them will be materialistic.

[@thatPSNguy99]

You should play online so that you can play against people who use actual principles to play.

[@micahnightwolf]

I do, sometimes. Only thing I don't like about playing chess online is sometimes real life gets in the way, and I or my opponent has to go "AFK" long enough to time out. I prefer real chess face to face when I'm playing against someone. Either that or with a computer set on moderately high difficulty so I can practice these techniques without losing spectacularly.

Knight to c3, double attack on the knight AND a discovered attack on the black knight at a6!! No matter what black does he loses a piece . Depending on blacks move, bishop to b5 is devastating. This seems like a more direct win.

After Nxf7+ Nxf7 Rxd8+ Kxd8 White can now take black's queen (the first check was also a discovered attack, as mentioned at a different point in the video)

[@dontcarejeezwtf]

no, because then black's queen would immediately be captured by either the b2 pawn or light bishop, depending which move you're talking about

Assuming we are playing white, At 3:13 will it be more smarter for white to play Nd5 instead of Nb5, because the following scenarios might happen : Note * means takes. BLACK WHITE Bg4 Nd5 B * f3 Nc7#(check mate). Alternatively : BLACK WHITE Bg4 Nd5 N * d5 Q * d5 (both queen and rook lined up on d5). Mate should happen in the next move in favour of white.

What iff bishop takes on rook at 5:45?

[@choipnugget]

@monongahelian Analysis w/Houdini suggests Rd1, attacking the queen. Then black should block with Nb8-d7. Followed by 8. Qg3 e6 9. Nh3 Can someone explain why that would be the best move for white? I thought develop light-squared bishop to e2, but after 9. ...Bd6, 10. Qxg7 Rg8 11. Qh6 and Rxg2 is allowed. But why develop to h3 and not f3? Analysis shows that the next few moves play out the same. Wouldn't f3 ultimately be a more active square?

Thats a nasty trap! Thanks for the upload, will add this to the arsenal!

[@drutgat2]

Thanks very much for this. I love it aesthetically, even if I end up losing with it.

Every time i watch a video like this I start a game, get 2 moves in then forget wtf I'm supposed to do next.

[@JohntheJigglyuser]

mannn, I remember going through all the thought processes that he was describing. I didn't fall for the mate in 1 but i ended up losing the game because of that brutal attack! And I thought my skewer was genius!

[@Spudst3r]

Great blitz opening and for amateur levels... but I played this in a tournament, and I can conclude that the Ryder gambit version of the Blackmar-Diemar Gambit is flawed. Once black plays out of it correctly to the position in 9:38, black can eventually develop safely and then exploit his double pawn majority. I found myself struggling very very hard to regain even one pawn once black could develop, and I only just squeaked through a win. There were no major blunders either.

I'll use this at a big chess tournament I have next week. It sound like an awesome trap
