Win in 5 Moves with the NORFOLK GAMBIT

[@christophnz]

Fajarowicz Gambit with an extra tempo for White. Bonsdorff variation to be precise. There was a bit of a theoretical discussion in the early 2000's, See Kaissiber 16 and later ones for example.

[@iansimpson27]

Agreed, I'd just been thinking the same thing.

[@plywoodcarjohnson5412]

Kieslowski-Ding variation also comes to mind.

Great video as always! But I ought to point out that 2. ... c5 is not in fact the only way to play a Norfolk gambit! I'm not talking about some move order changes, but rather a whole new gambit! The guy who made this gambit popular, Claude F. Bloodgood, actually wrote a book on "The Norfolk Gambits" (plural!). In the book he does cover that e4 Ne5 line, but he also promotes a different line: 1. b3 d5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Bb2 c5 4. e4! Nxe4 5. Bb5+. This other only has 1000 games in the Lichess database, compared to 17'000 games for the covered in this video. Here is a fun line from the book which shows what kind of compensation you'd get as white (the engine has a clear opinion on this, though it's not as easy as that): 1. b3 d5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Bb2 c5 4. e4 Nxe4 5. Bb5+ Bd7 6. Bxd7+ Qxd7 7. Ne5 Qf5 8. Qe2 e6 9. Qb5+ Nc6

A man with a rare talent! Making it fun and interesting to study and experiment. Thx Joe!

[@pizzacuber6]

Hey, Im very proud seeing this video, the guy from twich 😃

[@toodle361]

Great video Jonathan

[@alancoe1002]

Learned this one from Claude Bloodgood 's little book. Fun.

[@michaelclark1330]

Learned this trap from the Fajarowicz Gambit with black. The side that falls into it should just exchange the queen for the Ra1. Schrantz continually points out that we’re “just winning a queen”, but fails to mention that black gets a center pawn, bishop on the long diag, and a rook! Black should be theoretically better after some developing move, Nc4 Qa1 and Qa1.

[@treasonouspigeonpeckers957]

Very interesting even thoug I suck with the Nimzo-Larsen

[@worldofchessandvariants]

Didn't know that a reversed Budapest gambit has a name. Thanks for the video. 👍🏽

[@sanatnazblock]

Can you do a video on the soller and the von popiel gambit

[@misterunknown8923]

If you want von popiel, lookup William Graif. He played that a lot and made quite a few videos about it.

[@mercuryatamolos3687]

He already did a video on the von popiel a few months ago

[@sebastionlucas7477]

Kasper chess did this Norfolk gambit about 5days ago bless

[@davebrowne8042]

Norfolking way!! It's brilliant. I admit it's crude, but I couldn't resist.😃😃

[@MSJ606]

Just FYI - Norfolk is a county in England / city in US - the 'folk' is pronounced to rhyme with 'look' so like nor-fook or nor-fuk, not the normal way you'd say folk.

[@caideushex5204]

I learn more from Jonathan than I do any other online instructors, even Eric Rosen who I also follow.

[@EverythinGAnythinG-is5hn]

Very very powerful gambit

[@Ebobster]

This is like a Budapest Gambit in reverse

[@mukatemukate]

Bishop e6 is the refutation, saves the question

[@notep4583]

A pawn a bishop and a rook for a queen. I mean yes you have a better position but not really more material.

[@kevinmarchand4196]

Fajoriwitz gambit with an extra tempo

[@jaironunez7196]

That is a reverse Fajarowicz Gambit

[@christobobbo5575]

First trap is almost exactly the same as one you showed in the Budapest gambit I think

[@mikhailkropotov5271]

Is "winning an entire queen" an accurate assessment? I mean Black would have a pawn, a rook and a bishop for compensation.

[@ФиннПарнишка-л1м]

Lost like 7-8 games in a row up a queen from this position idk why

[@Vacheresseb]

This kind of thing works exactly 1% of the time

[@ramilparedes9930]

Opposite of Budapest Gambit

[@houseofleaves126]

What is this typical Nimzo Larsen Defence nonsense? If they play Nf6 on move 2, you resign

[@literally.anything___97]

uhh what.. why would you resign? just play e3 Bb2 and whites literally fine..

[@Lampyboi]

@@literally.anything___97 uhh what.. why would you play on? simply resign

[@AcmJury]

@@phillipark-tamati8840 bro just resign.... you have too

[@charlesgaskell5899]

[@thinboxdictator6720]

2.c4 is just better

[@TheAtheist22]

Fischer was right. Computers have destroyed chess.

Day 50 of asking for a video on my funny English lines

Man, you talk too much, very long and fast, it seems like you're late getting to work... two minutes was too much🤐😮

How do you use those emotes?

[@Kanna_Akizuki]
