Locock Gambit

[@walterpalmer2749]

The more I play the less I know.

[@iamthere135]

It's the dunning Kruger effect

[@suhailnkhan2055]

Scott Mulligan I think it is the opposite of DK Effect.The person who knows little thinks he knows a lot but those who know a good deal don't become complacent.

@@suhailnkhan2055 but this person, the more he plays he is becoming more and more at a stage of realisation that he knows less and less. It's the stage of the graph where confidence of person drops due to increased knowledge, due to now having an understanding of how little he knows

[@suhailnkhan2055]

@@iamthere135 I don't think one can infer anything about the confidence level of the person from the comment he has made.He could just be modest and perhaps in awe of the fact that the deeper one digs into the game,the lesser one seems to be knowing.

Locock Gambit is popularly countered among pros by the Hicock Defense.

[@rmendeljacobs2832]

I don't know man, I like to experiment with the BalSak defense.

[@propertycoach1992]

hahahaha

[@TwentySeventhLetter]

I've seen some pretty impressive Hicock defenses, most notably would probably be the Ligma variation, but that's not to discount the excitement that can be found in the Sugma variation (I usually play the latter just because I'm more familiar with it)

[@temxasremd]

​@@TwentySeventhLetter I've gotta get around to learning the sugma variation, too many times I've fallen victim to lack of knowledge in the locock gambit: declined hicock sugma variation

[@benjaminwells5972]

3:12 mark after Qxc8 black has Bb4+ after white deals with the check black can capture the queen on c8 with the rook on h8.

[@chandankumar-ir3cz]

Hi Kevin i was going through this video today . The main idea of playing d6 is black wants to pin the knight. Once d6 is played after that black plays BG4.i am not able to find any strong continuation for white after this move .please check if i m missing anything whenever u get time.

I’ve been trying to play on Gameknot but find my chess abilities have waned over the past many years. I try to play against the computer and lose miserably every time, even when I switch sides in the middle of the game I think I’ve only won once. Bottom line, I suck but I do have fun making myself miserable losing game after game. 😜

[@natribut9911]

3:11 white would lose the queen after bb4

[@andrewday4231]

Yes, but white will be up a piece and a pawn and the white king is exposed so it's completely winning for white

they can take on e5 as after queen takes on d8 they can do a check on the king with the dark square bishop and open up a discovered attack on whites queen

For me, I'd prefer to follow up with bishop checking the King before taking the knight.

[@deewagz7751]

I like pinning down the queen with Knights while the bishops chase the king around the castle,

[@sunitadwivedi7825]

Kevin at 4:07 why cant we go for queen g4 then f5 is mate in 2 and if he blocks we his queen we can simply capture with our bishop

[@KralleZ7]

There will be no mate in 2. The bishop will block the check. That line isn't good for white because of the unsafe queen position and because of the hanging pawn from white. He has to push or defend the pawn and still watching out for his queen safety. White will be overloaded with the hanging pawn, saving the queen and not losing on tempo.

Pretty good

You don't need to say pan everytime. The name of the square will suffice. For example e4.. everyone knows that means the pawn and not the queen. There's no need to say pawn in most situations such as taking. You dont say pawn takes on e5 you say d takes on e5
