[@HenriqueRocha]

I started learning chess recently because I was challenged by a friend. He always plays Scandinavian but doesn't retreat the quick and immediately checks the King. How should I react in this situation?

[@kaspachessofficial]

Just play normally. E.g. After e6+, you can simply block with the Bishop, develop the King's Knight and Castle short!

[@ramchander5694]

[@musicjinx7]

[@silascosta3184]

Very good!

[@gooddognigel9992]

Fischer smiled when his opponent played the Scandinavian, a defence he considered inferior.

[@alvarobastida1963]

Hi Kaspa! In the Tennison gambit, after the moves 1.e4 d5, 2.Nf3 dxe4, 3.Ng5 Nf6, you suggest the move 4.Nc6… waiting for 4.…Bf5. What can we answer if black moves 4.…Bg4? I think it is an answer that puts White in difficulties

[@PMA65537]

Board was hidden behind the subscribe notice.

[@kaspachessofficial]

But the analysis was also paused during that time. Anyways, I hope to do better next time 💟

[@viveksingh-xx1ku]

If at 13:40 instead of queen if black go for black knight to protect c7 pawn then please guide us what to do next

[@danilomanzano468]

Using the Scandinavian, what trap are you going use to win black.?

[@bggines_1260]

@13:39 what if black decides to check white with 5..Qe4+, what's the best reply here?

[@shanelawson5072]

e4d5 exd5Nf6 is NOT the Portuguese Gambit. It doesn't become so until White plays 3d4 & Black replies 3...Bg4.

[@kbhardwajradhekrishna]

Kaspa would you teach us complete najdorf sicilian variation?

[@kaspachessofficial]

[@romainrevel9301]

[@ressence1280]

2 minutes to take out a 2300+ player! Incredible!

[@noahz]

Interesting. In the Zuckertort Tennison gambit line, lichess db has no master games playing 6. d3. Which makes me think it's unsound. Probably fine for 2000> rapid players though!

[@davidbatchelder85]

Wow, I watched this many time's wow You are awesome

[@kaspachessofficial]

Thank you

[@Stefan-xh1hi]

Bruh, I hoped for a good line against the scandi and I get disappointed at move 2!?

[@erikthompson3264]

lmao a strong line in the scandinavian is disappointing to you, you must be an 800 elo noob

[@joenino3]

Badass video

[@existenceghost9701]

14:44 Why would King F7 taking the bishop be forced? King D8 is a move is it not?

[@frankmathewsajan9610]

Yes, but surprisingly most players take the bishop... this trap mostly works against 1000 below-ranked players...

[@shanastroskyphazer8172]

Leonet Gambit where have you been all my life ? haha Thanks great chess lesson. Do you have any weapon of choice against the French ! ?

[@bflo1000]

Unless Black knows this line, he's SOL.

[@timb8549]

I guess I'd normally be playing my bishop to f5 anyway to protect the pawn rather than Nc6, but good to know that there are also ways to play into traps. Black has a nice lead at that point, and white is just spending more of their evaporated advantage on knight moves. Must be people playing into this, I guess!

[@Learnjapanesefromsomeguy]

5:01 doing WHAT to the queen???

[@sewey75]

😂😂

[@789armstrong]

After 3.Ng5 e5! 4.Ne4 f5! and black has a strong initiative.

[@rustamdj979]

after e5 i would go Nf7 Kf7 and Qh5 check it's okay for the blitz game:))

[@789armstrong]

[@julietfostanesfostanes4073]

After poon f2 then black bishop c5 what to do?

[@hichamlteif2587]

Kaspa pls do another line when the queen goes to Qd6 rxs

[@hichamlteif2587]

Pls check my previous comment and advise. Thabks

[@duffmandje]

every sub 1200 I tried this against in blitz on chesscom countered me by not taking the pawn on d3 but pushing h6 first. the K has nowhere to go

[@kaspachessofficial]

The Knight has somewhere to go. I have a video on my channel where my opponent didn't take on d3 and the game went so easy. The whole purpose of a gambit is not really to make your opponent accept it but to be ahead in development and have many attacking chances in a very open position. If you want to learn serious (classical) chess, you may check out my short courses for beginners in the description and see which one would suit your needs.

[@lowellankrom4181]

How about e4 d5 Nf3 c6 Black still looks pretty good to me. By the way your chess videos on KZbin are GREAT! Thanks Lowell E.A.

[@jmnuqui470]

Sir how about 1.e4-d5 2.Nf3 dxe4 3.Ng5-h6?

[@realharami]

Just recapture the black center pawn with the knight for free

[@gjonfeinstein5878]

@@realharami White can settle for this slightly worse position after 4N: e4, e5 but if white is expecting a full bodied, attacking position, he's going to be pretty disappointed. I do like the 3Nc3 line in this gambit much more than any d3 ideas.

[@davidgeorge6253]

@4:19 my opponents never have taken on d3, they always play h6, and white is worse.

[@noedenisquentindodson2977]

I never won a single game with this gambit (they never play pawn to c6).

[@anikaitgupta3481]

i tried this opening vs Hikaru once and he destroyed me, since then I gave up on this.

[@shanastroskyphazer8172]

Hikaru is a specialist though right in the 99.9% percentile. Bad reasoning for giving up this fantastic opening idea.

[@noahz]

You're playing an unsound gambit vs a grandmaster. Interesting strategy...

[@elneneray6679]

U must be a great chess player.

[@michaels4255]

White players who don't like open games just don't play 1.e4. On the other hand, who doesn't love an open game when your opponent is playing into your hands? I had no idea the center counter game could be so tricky! I especially liked the way you could transpose into this opening from Reti's move. You could probably get a lot more chances to play this fun opening from 1Nf3 than from 1Ne4, including many chances against players who do not normally play the Scandinavian and are not familiar with the ensuing complications. Definitely worth my time!

Tal.. U mean he will react frm the grave!! 🤣

[@geethuvarghese9103]

By d way, Mich is my fav chess player.. Thx! ♥

[@zelandakhniteblade5436]

I wonder if "It's always advantageous for white if black doesn't take" caused general laughter amongst all of the French and Caro players that viewed this. The idea that 2. Nf3 prevents 2...d5 in either in a way that 2. d4 does not is one of the weirdest distortions I have seen in a chess video. Moving on, black's best scoring line after 3. Ng5 is 3...Bf5 and when you finally do show a Bf5 line, you somehow miss out that black's main line after 6. f3 is 6...Qd4, which leads to a position with fighting chances for both sides. Moving on to the Leonhardt Gambit, the main line after 6. Bc4 is 6...Nf6, taking the h5 square away. An example game (Pliukha-Markov 2020) continued 7. Nc3 c6; 8. Nc3 Bg4; 9. 0-0 e6; 10 Rb1 Qc7 with a position that is good for black. The proper title of your video would seem to be: "If black makes multiple terrible moves, white can win". Meanwhile, the sort of player that would actually enjoy the type of gambit position being suggested is precisely the type of player that will thrive in one of the main line Scandinavian systems. So the question becomes - why did they make a dubious sacrifice to avoid a position that suits their style of play?

[@anthonyanderson6463]

Winning against a 2300 was the proof for your eyeballs.

[@ruffianeo3418]

I think this is a scam. Stockfish 15 agrees: 1. e4 d5 (2. exd5 +0.9) 2. Nf3 (-1.3) and just mounting attackers on the black e4 pawn later on still gives black the better position. 2. ...dxe4 3. Ng5 Bf5 (-1.43) Of course, this youtuber could be some alien, who plays even better than stockfish... Please note, that the accent and the image also are an unlikely match.

8:15 is a blunder. Scandinavian expert won't play that move. Nc6 instead of pawn to c6 leads to a winning game for black. -2.3 Stockfish 14+ evaluation, a very big advantage for black.
