The BLUMENFELD Scotch that got me to 2100 ELO!!!

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

Hey Will i checked this out because we might be playing this gambit in our annual gambit tournament on the last evening before chrristmas. At 6:29 i thought Bxe6 pxe6 Nxc7+ Qxc7 Qxf8+ and then you get the rook on a8 with the queen and emerge an exchange up, your queen is then out of play and your forces are disorganised so it might b not be best but it is worth considering. Was glad the analysis supported my line. Thanks Will.

Good one I have 1600 rapid id like to play him but he will win probably 19 of 20 games

At 6:50 my thoughts: Knight takes C7 (fork rook and king) Queen takes knight C7 (removes defender of F8) Bishop takes bishop E6 Pawn takes bishop Queen F8 Check King D7 is forced Either Queen takes rook A8 or Queen G7 Check and takes Rook on H8 Any issue with this sequence? NOTE: obviously pawn doesn’t have to take bishop back, but then you win a pawn and bishop for a knight

Can you please make a opening study about the blume field, O'Sullivan and mengarini and other tricky gambits

[@willtaylorchess]

I'm planning on doing that after familiarising myself with the lichess study function as I'm still pretty new to the site but absolutely soon!

[@ryou8820]

@@willtaylorchess yep lichess study is one of the best perks and what's even better is you can import someone's study and improvise on it as well

Ive just had My First 100% Accuracy Game (by Tomy). The Blumenfeld feels proper seat of the pants but I love it. Shame most people at my rating don't go down the main line Scotch.
