I got my first chessbook from my grandfather, a book printed in the 1940s. It was of course out of date but I started reading it out of curiosity and Kings gambit was the first opening covered. The strategy and stories about the opening really got me interested in chess and to this day 20 years later my love and nostalgia for the kings gambit is still very strong!

"But now it's a little bit different" is my dark horse for agad's best line used during various videos. "Do you maybe want a free pawn?" is also highly underrated.

[@Josh_Fredman]

Kosteniuk has a good attitude about it. It's really frustrating to get shut out, but it's an honor to be able to play so many of the world's best players and it will improve your own game. And you get to choose which of those two things you focus on.

[@GJAkuo]

[@dmsalomon]

I feel bad for Alexandra. I suspect that nepo was making a point with this opening choice.

[@sub.consciousnz1312]

I mean, as brutal as it is, because she is the only woman in the field, she is also simply the weakest player in the field by quite a wide margin, so playing a very sharp opening against her makes sense.

Nepo is a brilliant and exciting player and a very worthy opponent to play Carlsen but even months later I still don't understand how he played so bad.

[@chessenjoyer9657]

Under pressure anyone would crack. His team supposedly pressured him to win so he took some risks he shouldn't have. If he played like he always did the matches will all be draws and they would end up in a tie breaker Armageddon where both Carlsen and Nepo have a chance to win

[@SmilingIbis]

The 136 mover seemed to drain the energy out of him.

[@robertphillips2769]

I've been playing the King's Gambit for decades. Rusty, dusty, "maybe a little dubious" but it gets played by the top players at least sometimes. I think it is a lot better than its general reputation and not just due to attacking chances.

[@s.ananthkarthikeyan4560]

11:35 Pipi Pupu lmaooooo 🤣🤣🤣

[@davidmitchell3881]

If you play the Kings gambit, you should know the Wagenbach variation. It's very odd but it has claimed a few masters scalps. It goes 1 e4 e5 2 f4 e x f4 3 Nf3 (or similar) h5. This line produces some very odd positions for the K gambit. It is not uncommon for both sides to end up casting queen side. Its very hard work for black but if black makes it out of the opening black is ususlly on top.

[@JoeDidIt]

i also wanna thank pipi pupu

[@robw9986]

Now I have to find out how Morphy played the Falkbeer.

[@giriiyer3968]

I have seen a lot of people play the KG from anderssen to fischer. But no no one played it like Morphy. He usually played it when he gave queen side rook or knight odds or in blind fold simuls. Not always. But the end was usually spectacular. One particular game was against budzinsky who played the KG against Morphy

[@thecaptainindia9790]

Happy to see nepo again

[@ryan_edmond]

dang you hate to see it she basically walked right into nepos prep, then left his prep, then transposed right back into his kings gambit course

[@troytheriot8679]

White could actually give the Queen after knight takes the rook on on f8 because you still have the bishop pair and black now has back rank issues that paralyzed there position

[@abhaychaturvdi]

Good Luck castling to the white king - Agadmator
