Fun anecdote: Gotham already said that this used to be known as the "Ponziani-Steinitz gambit", after grandmaster Wilhelm Steinitz. Apparently, Paul Morphy was once asked if he knew Steinitz, and he replied: "yes, I know Steinitz. His gambit is bad".

[@hollowshiningami3080]

[@hongyuxue6513]

Traxler is trash

[@TheIcecreamtaco]

The difference is that the Traxxler refuted is losing for black when the bishop takes pawn. In this gambit, when the bishop takes the pawn, it is a completely equal yet tricky position for the uninitiated. Therefore black has the advantage by the simple fact that white probably can’t find the best moves after surviving the opening

[@SulixD]

increasing elo with traps is not really increasing elo... try to start playing normal position and the if you don't drop down you really increased elo

[@Edamori]

I mean, you "increased" your elo in the same way I "increase" my height by wearing the right kind of boots. The moment the shoes come off your height goes right back down. This is a one-trick gambit that will net you a worse position almost every single game past 1500, it's even worse than the Stafford. At least with the Stafford there's various avenues of compensation and many, many traps, even in the lines that are good for White. With this all I need to know is that I play Bxf7, shove my d pawn down your throat as far as it can reasonably go, kick your knight out and castle and you have no play. If you're below 1500 and just want to have fun, go ahead - it doesn't make you magically worse at the game or anything. Just know that you will hit a hard plateau at a certain point where the problem isn't your skill level - it's your opening prep.

@@thenuggon I'm looking at this position thinking wtf, just knight to a5, bishop goes to d5, black pawn to c6. Also it's not mentioned that after knight takes rook, knight is still stuck, so black will have doubled pawns and possibly bad pawn structure in two spots, but black will be a piece up. When the dust settles, this is horrible for white. I'm 1900s and I'd destroy white here if I was black.

Nb5 threatening the bishop and c2 and if bishop b3 you just take the pawn attacking the rook and if bishop take knight you just take the knight and if knight takes you take there rook and if they try to escort the knight after taking the rook you can do the same since bishop can't keep defending c2 square and knight

[@thorjelly]

I've been trying to figure that out too.. basically it's a pawn sacrifice for tempo. You can check the king with Bh3+. If the king moves to f2, you can develop your other bishop with Bc5+. If the king moves to to e1 or e2, you can move your knight to d4 and then c2 to capture the other rook, or just move your rook to g8 now that you've developed a few pieces.

Levy, I know that the tournament reviews are possible but I really enjoy watching you talk your way through a game like this. Doesn't have to be teaching us a game but maybe a speed run or something.

At 3:40 in the vid, after trading queens, you recommend pawn to d5, attacking the bishop. Why wouldn't the bishop simply take the pawn? Black still has a rook attacked and has one less (central) pawn ! Help me here, please !!

Apparently the computer likes attacking with D5 because it opens up your bishop to bh3+. For the cost of sacrificing a pawn you can harass their king, develop your bishop, and when you can't harass anymore then you can move your rook to safety. Momentum is king

Engine recommends Nb4 if they take pawn
