"It all fell apart" | Nakhmanson Gambit Blitz Game

[@SureRox]

Once you master every engine move with this gambit you will be unstopable

[@allanmarks2150]

SureRox - I am curious to know how many lines of play a player would need to master, to actually master every engine move for this gambit. 100, 300? I would think mastering 100 lines of play would be challenging but doable. And 300 lines of play would be too many lines of play to try to master.

[@milankotevski1663]

Actually, no.After ..Nxc3, bxc3, ..d5 Black is just a pawn up, and White is the one fighting for a draw.

[@Mekmassimochannel]

I stay on the opinion this gsmbit should be renamed the Schrantz Gambit

[@doondoon859]

How about this: Nakhmanson Gambit, popularized by Schrantz? If Jon keeps doing it so much, it might even make a case saying so on the Wikipedia page, and Jon will make legit chess history.

[@michaelgoldberg4000]

Those losing videos are much appreciated, especially with the analysis at the end! Let us learn more from your mistakes, love the channel!

[@kasurusak5168]

I subscribe for nakhmanson gambit.

[@timevans7096]

Find someone who looks at you the way Jon looks at Nc3 dxc3

[@danishrrs619]

This is a sad day....Nakhmanson was supposed to be the beacon of hope in this god forsaken world

[@megamancookie]

Dont worry we still have Jerome.

[@computo2000]

Don't worry brother we still have the Jerome edit: it looks like I was a couple of seconds too slow

[@RayFowler]

It wasn't refuted... there were winning moves to be found.

[@jaylenlenear8492]

that moment your guessing all his moves correctly but then remember this video is about a game he loss and now your sad. I think I would have took the draw by repetition after calculating for a bit tho so I still feel happy :)

[@JohnLewis-old]

Thanks for sharing a video of when it doesn't work. Obviously with gambits people are reluctant to share defeats, but you are a true scholar. Thank you.

[@raphaelhudson]

This is actually why gambit lines are better in rapid or even classical than blitz for most players. When I play something like the Latvian or some lines of the King's Gambit get a good position and usually have a chance to win, but accurate dynamic play takes more calculation than making sensible development moves. One wrong move and you lose.

[@simplehealthyliving4681]

Exactly.

[@choojunwyng8028]

Lost due to having too many juicy moves to pick from? I think that may the Nakhmanson's only weakness... too many options!!

[@ivanaldal]

Really enjoying this Nakhmanson lines and games! Loads of fun and learning.. thanks!

[@ayodub]

Crazy that in this gambit that it's +3 in the position you get and there's still the feeling that "there must be something better"

[@justpassing5324]

I love your enthusiasm! Your videos are always fun to watch.

[@kanuganu]

right !

[@meathead919]

You got schrantz'ed.

[@CJ58694]

Schrantz Gambit once again. Was a good stream today! Lots of people and lots of Nakhmansons. Thanks for putting these on KZbin

[@maintaintogrow]

Can't retreat when you play gambits.

[@snookslayer4559]

To hell with Nakhmanson. That's the Scharntz Gambit !!!

[@marcofrey2903]

Knight blocks is actually one of the hardest lines. After rook to g8, the engine gives Queen to d6 with bishop f5 to follow. It's not obvious what the benefit is, but I find that pragmatically, it invites mistakes as there's no obvious good move for black (no one's going to find the subtle g4 to get their rook out) so they're likely to take on b2, which is a huge blunder as it gives white the initiative , given that it already has such a strong hold on the position with attacking pieces so close to the king.

[@brettjones327]

Great follow up to your prior video, enjoyed it.

[@JAndrioli]

Jon your channel is going to explode dude! awesome content :-) keep going

[@GrabnarMyers]

I can't stop watching him play this Gambit wtf

[@pankajnegi2397]

Petition to rename this Gambit as the Scranthz Gambit

[@kyt6087]

Recently found your channel and I love your videos

[@samcatsam]

I have a hunch says the Nakhmanson works only under certain arrangements of the constellations. --it's astrologically contingent. light a candle at least.

[@souravmitra8668]

Hi Jonathan, the other day I tried the Nakhmanson Gambit in Chess.com & I was successful. Thanks mate. 1. e4 e5 , 2. Nf3 Nc6, 3. Bc4 Nf6, 4. 0-0 Nxe4, 5. d4 exd4, 6. Nc3 dxc3, 7. Bxf7+ Kxf7, 8. Qd5+ Ke8, 9. Re1 Ne7, 10. Qxe4 cxb2, 11. Bxb2 d5, 12. Qf4 Bf5, 13. Qxf5 Qd7, 14. Qh5+ Kd8, 15. Rad1 Qb5, 16. Ng5 Qxb2, 17. Nf7+ Kc8, 18. Qg4+ Kb8, 19. Rxd5 Nxd5, 20.Re8# CHECKMATE

[@TheSludgeMan]

The schrantzmanson gambit strikes again

[@wisepilgrim343]

Shocking, must be a glitch in the matrix, the nakhmanson gambit never loses !

[@Matti_Mu]

This is what the Jerome wants to be

[@albertbatfinder5240]

The future of chess is safe. Nakhmanson gambit was looking too strong, too fast.

[@shinjinator100]

I want you to play the Jerome one day :D

[@brandonclintonjones4844]

What do I play if after castling black plays 5 Bc5 defending the pawn? This seems to entirely prevent the gambit leaving white with a much worse position

[@flungsheep3029]

You sound like a cross between jerry from ChessNetwork and GM Jan Gustafsson

[@akawojo]

Indeed!!

[@CitizenLUL]

Man, replace his head with the Kappa face when he plays the Nakhmanson.

[@leemarani7723]

Please anaysize when oppent does Qf7

[@grousetheghoul2754]

You can't even set it up unless black moves both knights out in the first 4 moves.

[@xdomsetv9757]

yes i actually dont know what to do if they move their knight in front of there king

[@kkkk-ks7ke]

Can you look at 6. Nc3 Nd6? I'm a scotch gambit player and I tried to play the Nakhmanson in 1500 elo Lichess rapid game. My opponent played this move which is recommended by the lichess engine! I looked at it in analysis board and it looks like white is simply worse after this.

[@norbertwiesner569]

This is the problem with this gambit, if black doesn't play 6... dxc3, but 6... Nd6 (or 6... Nxc3) the attack doesn't work. After 6. Nc3 Nd6 white could play something like 7. Qe2+ Be7 8. Nd5 Nxc4 9. Qxc4 O-O 10. Nxd4 Nxd4 11. Qxd4, but with a pawn down this is not what you went for with this gambit. Since everybody knows about this gambit, then it will not be a sharp weapon anymore.

[@insanedb]

I have lost more than one

[@the_eighteen]

6k subs in 3 months? wow good job bro

[@ediw2246]

Hi Jonathan. Please do some videos about scandinavian defence portuguese variatio, when you wil have some time. It is very interesting way to fight again e4.

[@aprendaescaleta]

NOOOOO THE NAKHMANSON FELL!! blup blup

[@therbeeo5364]

Went down in flames! 😂😂

[@jpworowski]

The GJ_Chess KZbin channel says that 6 .... Nd6 refutes the Nakhmanson. What do you think?

[@jaggedben]

That would be the Nakhmanson Gambit Declined. A different opening. ;-)

[@drewbeedoobeedooooooo4821]

Was bishop h6 better than f6?

[@suryanshverma1799]

What if he took the knight with the knight........?? rather than the pawn......? I have a doubt..? 🤔🤔

[@smurugan1549]

Love ur videos....From INDIA what is ur FIDE rating sir?

10. Bg5 Qd6 11. Qxe4+ Be7 12. Rad1 and you take the bishop 10 ... Qf7 11. Qxe4 Be7 12. b4 with b5 coming

[@GrabnarMyers]

2:24 here I would move took to E3 in order to move c pawn to c3 and queen E2

[@josephoyek6574]

*HELLA TIGHT*

[@evollove934]

move 24 BxB,RxB, then Qxh and pressures knight and threatens g pawn and check...Rf7, Qxg and pins rook

[@swapnilkadam9348]

Why u offer the knight.....instead offer pawn and capture it with the knight.....saves a piece

[@suokkos]

You lose a tempo which is important in aggressive attacks (plus they are more likely to decline the gambit).

[@adibgbs3136]

amazinng !! but u just took too much time to think and that guy thinks and played so fast can you please make a video on how to stream like that? the Green Screen and all that stuff Thank you and Good chess

Why is it called a nakhmanson gambit?

[@aricboettcher]

Named after Mr. Gambit

[@allanmarks2150]

Does talking while playing help or hurt your chances of winning?

[@jaggedben]

Personally I think it helps. (Also being able to draw arrows on the screen while playing probably helps too. :-D)

[@allanmarks2150]

@@jaggedben - Thank you. Interesting. Do you draw arrows when you play online, or do you know of players who draw arrows when playing online? I have no idea how to draw arrows. Is drawing arrows a feature of online chess sites, or is there some software program that Johnathan has on his computer, that allows him to draw arrows. Maybe I should try the experiment of drawing arrows when playing online.

that's right. 19. Rxe7+ was the way to go

who is Nakhmanson btw ?
