The Vienna Gambit · Ideas, Patterns, Traps and all Variations

The Vienna Gambit is is a great alternative to mainline e4 e5 openings. It can lead to very quick disasters for either side if misplayed, and it usually leads to less known positions.

Watch the introductory video to the Vienna Game: • The Vienna Game: Ideas...
In the Vienna Gambit, white delays the development of the f3 knight in order to free up the f-pawn and have the possibility of launching a quick kingside attack. Similarily to the King's Gambit, white offers a pawn, but, since black already has a knight on f6, the Vienna Gambit cannot be accepted!

Add Miodrag Perunovic to that listen

[@hxlize4913]

this is actually the most in depth tutorial of early game vienna mainlines. i play vienna but usually 3. e3 variant so whenever they fall for the gambit i get lost in the traps

[@eltiohitmalo4240]

I really like that you teach traps on opening like this, sometimes opponens would mess up and its nice to know traps to punish common mistakes, and also be able to prevent the same traps, my favorite video is on the scandinavian defense and the lionheart gambit is a really strong tool if you dont know the traps at play

[@TheChessNutPrince]

VIENNA TIME LETS GOOOOOOO

[@AbhiDussa]

Can you make a detailed video on center attack 1e4 e5. 2Nf3 Nc6. 3Bc4 Bc5. 4c3 Nf6. 5d4 exd4. e5

[@henryeberman6342]

He has one it’s under his Italian playlist

[@andreapinelli1106]

Nocciole 👌

[@user-fo7qd9pj9w]

Hay, Stejpan can I play The Catalan Opening at 1200 rating.

[@henryeberman6342]

You can but I’m not sure it’s worth it at your rating. You’ll either spend too much time spending on studying openings or you will lose your c4 pawn without compensation. IMO a Catalan set up without d4 or c4 might be better. Similar to the English with g3, which hanging pawns has some content on I believe or the kings Indian attack.

[@abubua8781]

Hi Stephan! thank you for the Vienna series! One question: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHzIhKyNpNp2hsUsi=7jLnjkQiVJsPVvAw&t=811 At 13:30 how can the Black Queen take the Black Knight on e4?

[@bhartiprasad2903]

Finally

[@HangingPawns]

Sorry for the wait!

[@hectorgray8542]

The Qf3 line is great until intermediate level but sadly Nc6 Qh4+ basically kills the opening. It's forced and thus easy to memorize since its only one variation. Last time I analyzed the ending Black was scoring better, and whenever I played it it didn't really feel nice, so practically I don't trust it that much either. I'm wondering what other people that have played this often think.

[@marknieuweboer8099]

I never have played it but indeed suspect that Black has a somewhat easier game in that endgame. It's not so easy to do something useful with that knight. Yeah, it goes to d4 - but then what?

[@henryeberman6342]

I don’t mind playing an endgame but the f5 line is what annoys me. I don’t get the strong center

[@Axalon900]

Fastest click in the west

[@Soroosh-ey2lh]

Max lunge defense next? 🥲
