Chess Openings: Fireworks in the French! Aggressive Wing Gambit Part 1

[@Ducksaregreat]

What I love about the Wing Gambit is that it’s actually very positional for white WHILE leaving room for tactics and attacks. You move their pawn from c4 for more stake in the center. Because their c pawn is no longer there, you have full control over the center and black will never be able to break through. Your queen and bishop form a very nice battery on the kingside, so castling kingside is dangerous for black. Castling queenside for them is just suicidal. It’s also not as well known as the mainlines, making it a great surprise weapon. Even better, Stockfish rates the position after cxb4 as equal. A lot of unknown or tricky gambits are immediately losing, but this one isn’t. Idk if you can tell, but I like the French Wing Gambit :)

Your lectures are great and useful even for coaches who are working with beginners! Thank you Miodrag😊

[@chukspeter4044]

At 18:16 you can trade bishop, give a check on a5 and win the night. Ba3 is a blunder by black

[@nathangrabias8045]

Wow! Your videos are great! The only good, detailed guide on the WIng Gambit that I can find out there! Thanks for that.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks! I appreciate your comment :) Check out other videos!

[@clementgalopin9789]

I like your work. I like the way you are clear in your explanations as well as in your diction. Thank you very much master Perunovic.

[@omkarparab7702]

I think these gambits are useful to unsettle players in bullet & blitz formats. This is exactly the kind of analysis I was looking for on the Wing Gambit. You made it interesting and informative. Thanks!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thank you Omkar :)

[@carbone144]

18:15 WTF b6? instead of BxB and then Qa4+ ????

[@rosihananwar8022]

"Thank you so much for this video...".

[@pschneider1968]

I am very excited and happy about your fantastic opening lecture series!

[@kfrysiras]

Mio thank you! Some comments, Stockfish checked. At 18:14, 6...Bc8-a6 is not possible: 7. Bxa6 Nxa6 8. Qa4+. At 19:10, 10.bxc5 is not good, as after 10...bxc5 11.a4 cxd4 12. cxd4 Nc6 the game is equal. Best is 10. dxc5! bxc5 11. Nbd2 Nc6 12. Nb3 with much better position. At 19:45, 7.Bd3 is answered with 7...Nc6 8. b5 Na5 9. Be4 Bb7 or 8. 0-0 Bb7 and Black can always answer cxd4 with ...cxb4! getting the upper hand. White has to play immidiately 7. cxd4! cxd4 and only now 8. Bd3 getting a small plus.

I know it's been 3 years but I wanted to thank big Mio for these wing gambit videos. I am developing a repertoire for faster time control tournaments like g10 or G30.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks Danny! I am thinking of reuploading some of these videos!

[@francoischevalier2151]

Lively presentation!!

[@kuldhirsingh]

What if black play 2...d4 after 2.nf3? Going directly after d4 with 3.c3 can allow black to support d4 pawn with 3...c5. How you evaluate this position?

[@benantony5904]

One more great work sir..thanks !! You are the cutest butcher i ever found...keep smiling

[@a191265]

Your lectures are awesome and helpful!!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Wajid Shaikh Thanks! I want all of you to have good results with these lines!

[@a191265]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial sure will do it from now onwards. Anyway can I request something, I need your lecture on smith morra gambit from white side. Thanks a lot in advance.

[@Chess-ks8lk]

Although I prefer positional chess I still find your videos very useful. Not surprised u have "produced" so many strong players.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thank you 😊

[@johnrainmcmanus6319]

Love this gambit, but 11:08 looks like black can play Bxb5 and win the pawn, no?

[@sskanwar4135]

Wing gambit is good for beginners

[@Chess-ks8lk]

Very good video.

[@ricj441]

A question though: why shouldn't the Greek gift sac work in the variation shown at 16:00?

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Ramón Jessurun after Bh7 Kh7 Ng5 Kg6/Kh6

[@andrewleliveld3537]

After quite a bit of analysis, I believe that it stills works but the attack is just slightly less strong. Having the extra knight developed on c6 makes it a bit easier for black to defend. I still favour the Greek gift sac in that variation.

[@ricj441]

Better than some other online chess lessons out there!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Ramón Jessurun Thanks a lot! Keep watching 😉

[@robertaupton3221]

at 11:11 after Nbd2 by white why can't black simply take on b5 with his bishop threatening the rook?

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

He may take on b5 Roberta, but after Re1, Nf3 Rb1 white has very promising attacking chances and great compensation for the given material!

[@mohamedmaqsudmohammed6445]

After i watch Wing Gambit here.. I can defeat any player play french against me. And im very happy when i see him replay with e6😂😂

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

💪😉

[@marcomori6312]

thx for the vid, i love how you showed the boring lines first, very unclickbite

[@oliverf2924]

8:26 4. ... c4

[@raphaelhudson]

Me too! I hate playing against the french, it is by far my worst statistics opening from white. Going to try this. Wouldn't go well against more tactical french players like simon williams.
