Any recommendations for gambits for black that I can learn? Other than the Stafford of course

[@arratay1487]

The Omega-Isis gambit. It happens in the Nf3 Dutch when you play 2…e5. It’s completely unknown and a gambit, although I don’t think that there are a ton of good traps in the opening.

[@itsjustme2651]

englund gambit

[@hector9586]

I know I will get hate for this but gambits where you get your pieces out quickly lose their meaning when your opponent starts off with the first move, so you won't find any gambits that you like. You'll find that your lead in development doesn't mean anything when White easily trades everything off and is a pawn up in a dry position you have to try not to lose. Any gambit with black can be easily refuted, that being said, playing gambits with white is much more fun and makes more sense. If you want something aggressive as black, for e4 try the sicilian, while with d4 you can try the dutch.

[@danieldrago1419]

I’m so angry that I actually believed you blundered a queen

[@tilt_ps]

whenever eric rosen gives you a stafford gambit, you better be willing to not give down going heavy on your goals. His voice will scare you and blow your bishops back inside their rooks, and that’ll just be how below his achievements would be going because of his own judgment on provisional sacrifices based on the current standpoint. That will always be from because going up is messing with eric and your dying wishes going to lie right here with you.

[@stvia]

Wtf did the last player think when he took the queen? I mean he took his time to think and he couldn't see the obvious follow up Erik had? I mean a 1600 should be able to see a simple mate in 2.. (like really the most obvious moves to consider) especially if his opponent sacrifices his queen and makes you think why

[@Martykun36]

they thought it was a mouseslip? maybe

[@nephandi2316]

You wouldn't believe how with peaks at 1650 Blitz and 1800 Rapid I can still encounter these kind of very quick games... And even fall into it sometimes. It just happens, and you rightly feel like a piece of trash after that ^^'

[@Insanity-vv9nn]

I am 1400 rated and went against a 1600, he sacrificed a Knight to open my king pawns and mate me, but he made one blunder, later on I knew he could mate me Quickly so I sacrificed a rook to place my pawn on the middle of the board since I already had 1 there and I thought "he cant stop 2 advanced pawns" so after some exchanges I had king and bishop vs his Queen, but my pawn was already at e7 so I won, I was so proud😁 never did that play before

[@mouwersor]

This is rapid, not classical

[@spacerocks9740]

Classical bro with 10 sec increment,🙄

[@JimmyBoosterCrate]

It's considered Rapid IRL, but in lichess 20+10 is considered Classical. That's because online games are typically just for fun and not that serious, they're also marketed towards people glued to their screens (A.K.A. short attention span) thus faster-paced.

[@Glendragon]

lichess calls this classical, everything is more rapid on the internet because nobody has time to play hour long games with randos that can waste time out of spite.

[@owenallenaz]

Sufficiently skilled chess players are indiscernable from black magic. I'm struggling to get out of 1100 wondering my opponents never play this poorly. Answer: Because I don't play this well.

[@lecobra418]

Do puzzles on a daily basis. Take your time to solve them correctly. Play slow time format and try to respect opening principles, avoid playing gambits and try instead to learn a solid yet simple opening (Ruy lopez or Italian) and a solid defense not overly complicated (Sicilian/Caro-Kahn/French...). Develop quickly, protect your pieces and pawns, control the center, try to "calculate" a bit and try to guess after each move what your opponent is up to, try not to overlook his moves because you're in tunnel vision masterminding your perfect mating sequence but not seeing the pending mate in one your opponent has. With a bit of practice you'll reach 1400 pretty quickly. I can assure you on every chess website the 1000>1200 rating range is muddy waters, most of the players are in this range, there are a lot of smurfers, sandbaggers, straight up cheaters and generally speaking simply more players. if you're consistent enough you will reach a less troubled area around 1300.
