I love the parts where you say "Its time for them to resign"

Its usually time for me to resign after move 3.

[@shawmavamukherjee9635]

Your teaching is incredible Igor sir. You go in-depth and also show many potential developments. Thanks a lot! I will try to apply this gambit in my next game.

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Thanks! Good luck with your game.

Just wanted to swing by and say your chess vids have become my favourite ones as of late. Keep up the great work and thanks for the brilliant content :)

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Glad you like them!

[@wilkinru]

I do love your videos. You need to keep focusing on ways for us to do well as black pieces. There is so much content going over white pieces.

e5xf4 is only played often below 2000 rating on Lichess. Higher than 2000 the probability drops to 7%.

this is what i play as white, it works pretty well at intermediate level, you either get a winning position out of the opening or completely equal, im 1600

[@cellowify]

Your tutorials are great, thanks for the content!

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Glad you like them!

[@RebelTemptations]

I love those teaching videos! Your explanations and understandings of chess are top-notch! I have a question regarding 13:05, when the queen gives a check on h4 why doesn't white play Kf3, pushing the queen away and stopping the pawn, instead of moving the king and losing his right to castle?

[@JakeLYT]

Because Qh4 is a check. Moving your knight to f3 doesn't block the check so it's an illegal move. You have to move the king.

[@Dan_Moller]

Knight doesn't block the check

[@omgitsthomas1]

Really appreciating these videos. Thank you Igor!

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Happy to hear that!

[@Dan_Moller]

Seems great, but more often than not, black brings out the black squared bishop and launches a huge crushing attack

[@williamclayton3164]

I noticed an attacking possibility for black besides retreating in the line 1e4 e5 2Nc3 Nf6 3f4 exf4 4 e5 Nd5!? 5 NxN Qh4ch 6Ke2 f3ch 7Nxf3 Qc4 ch 8Ke1 QxNc4 white has a good position but can’t castle, even material and Black can develop quickly and castle, blacks Queen might be ok on d5...

[@resvolver]

ur vids are really instructive and good thanks a lot!

[@ThomasHDBass]

Be careful to play it only against opponents that you don't expect to prepare for the game. A few weeks back I played as black against an opponent I expected to play the Vienna Gambit. I was prepared, he played exactly as suggested in this video, and after only 10 moves I was a pawn up and had a good position (3.d5 4.fe Nxe5 5. Qf3 Nc6 6. Nxe4 Nd4 7. Qc3 de 8. Ne2 Nc6 9. Ng3 Qd5 10. Bc4 Qxe5).

[@CR1M3OFFICIAL]

16:39 what if we take their pawn they they take back with the queen?

[@taiwoluke8625]

Thanks GM 🤜🤛

[@terrellharper5753]

When I've played this exact position before against the computer his queen side not comes down and creates the fork to take my bishop and put me in check shortly from there they attack the center and lock down all my pieces and is very willing to sacrifice valuable pieces to win

how to play if they accept the gambit and instead of returning with the horse they move queen to e7?

[@rubengaming1001]

What if they defend the pawn using the dark bishop?

[@SmithCS]

i wish you would have covered a couple different lines after e4 e5 Nc3 Nc6 Bc4 Bc5 Qg4

[@yalexyalex2782]

He's covered that in a different video.

[@Alkis05]

I think the vienna gambit is a fine opening for beginners, but gambit in the second part I don't think it is good advice. I think it is too dangerous and creates bad habits about leaving the king exposed. Progressing in chess is all about creating healthy habits and that one is not a good habit to practice. When building a repertoire you should balance between achieving advantageous position with positions that incentivize good behavior, because those are the ones that breed good instincts. I would recommend the paulsen variation (fianquetto de bishop on the king side) after 2...Nc6, which is much more solid, sound and effective than 3. f4 That's my 2 cents, but hey, I don't have much experience. Don't listen to me.

[@Dan_Moller]

I see that I get so easily crushed in this gambit. I'm almost giving up on it.

[@thekubist]

how do you get crushed?@@Dan_Moller

Why not black queen gives a check and wait for white to castle?

[@hiddencabbage559]

I like this gambit, but often they'll play Qe7 and pin the pawn.

[@hanafuda]

Alcohol is a depressant. But drinking beer always makes me smile, so I dunno

[@ZclockYT]

But black could castle queen's side when the white queen is threatening checkmate with white bishop

[@Bucket-f9z]

someone has still your video name Blood-Pack

[@dizman4366]

Hey Igor, I don't think you tell all the truth about both gambits. In fact, the recommended move by knight is forward, not back. And if you take, there's a deadly attack by the queen.

[@oscarkeene5867]

I checked this and whilst it wasn’t recommend by Stockfish, it’s almost playable. You can win the knight back with some queen checks but whilst u do white gets a strong centre and develops pieces whilst you just move your queen. Seems to be around +1.5-2 eval so I’d say not great really

[@dmitrymerzlyakov4155]

This is the case for Vienna, but in Russo white is +2 after giving up the knight

[@dmitrymerzlyakov4155]

Also, Stockfish is great, but in reality it's quite tricky to defend and many people will fail badly. So saying 'knight have to move back' and completely ignoring the line is wrong imho

[@oscarkeene5867]

@@dmitrymerzlyakov4155 I guess he could’ve talked on it but definitely seems dubious n would’ve made a longer video

[@addarash9859]

This is true for Rousseau gambit, but in the Vienna, moving the knight forward is simply losing the knight (+4 or so on stockfish). The queen attack needs some precise king moves but it's not that hard to learn where to go.

[@brentterry6990]

What about queen e7?

[@brentterry6990]

That was vauge. Queen e7 after you push the pawn up attacking the knight. It pins the pawn from taking night.

Black knight is forced to go back to his original square, team black have virtualy no move on the board and white have allready some elements on there their side.How is lichess engine can call this a 0,4 position!!Chess is a strange game.allmost humanly incompreansible

Dangerous but effective only if one gets those variations correctly. One false move and all is lost. 😆

[@TheUndulyNoted]

I’m my opinion if you win with cheap tricks you are a poor player. What’s the point in playing if you’re just gonna use traps?

[@adewilson132]

If your opponent was a good enough player they would be able to defend against such traps and not fall into it. How is it a cheap trick? Any strategy or tactic in chess that enables a winning edge is not cheap. That’s like saying a war general is a bad tactician because he set up an effective trap for the enemy. If I played this opening against a 2000 rated player I would get crushed regardless because he’s simply a much better player than me and would know how to best defend against it. Chess is all about outsmarting your opponent and using better strategy and tactics, there’s nothing cheap about that.

[@TheUndulyNoted]

@@adewilson132 It's a cheap trick because it can be used to win a game against someone who is in a general sense, better at chess than you. You know this as well as anyone so you're either commented because you have no life, or you really dont understand in which case you're an idiot.

So the black need to not play the chess

Sorry but It doesnt give a dominant and wining position at all ... they just have to put their beshop at g4 and the game is over....

Thanks a lot Igor! I like to play the Roausso Gambit as black so as You also said Vienna Gambit will suits me perfect! 😊👍♟
