[@treasonouspigeonpeckers957]

I haven't played the Wagon Gambit but I did win with that really bad English Gambit you told me not to play.

[@HighlyCruciferous]

This is awesome ! A pity Black didnt get a better result, though. The Ra4 ressource is really stylish, it crops up in several other lines as well. The variations you show, in particular the Queen sac are truly brilliant, no matter if they are computer generated. Another idea that I"ve had some fun with in the past is ...Ra5 rather than ...Qe7 to support the recapture on e5 in a different manner. Usually not the objectively best line, but obviously that's not the point of the gambit.

[@eirikeiken]

Just wanted to say that I love your content man. Dubious gamits is what brings me the most joy in chess by far and your videos are the holy grail when it comes to this. Your caro kann trap in particular has netted me a bunch of wins. :D

[@toodle361]

Great analysis Jonathan. Keep up the good work

[@theuseraccountname]

Really nice gambit, thanks for sharing! Lots of tactics at play here.

[@caideushex5204]

I learn more about Chess from Jonathan than I do any other online Chess Wizard and without the attitude and ego. Thank you!!

[@bladmorane7613]

GREAT STUFF , DONE VERY GOOD VIDEO !!!!!!

[@robertehrenworth3310]

Brilliant tactics & fun stuff!

[@ramilparedes9930]

Very helpful

[@pkopium4631]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="524">8:44</a> a force check mate after wrxd2, Qb1 check nice game

[@Backtomonarchy]

good point but white can answer that with Qb1+, Ne1, QxRa1... white wins easily.... but Qb1+, R7d1, and Queen has to retreat...

[@lingling89308]

only checkmate if white takes the queen. white doesnt need to take the queen.

[@jacksonb4050]

Please make a full video featuring everything for the wagon gambit

[@AndreasFroehliPoker]

Looks like a fun gambit!

[@jedinxf7]

every time. I think you've exhausted the possibilities of this opening you show an absolutely absurd variation. if only I had the cojones to play it and compliant opponents lol

[@jacksonb4050]

Hey man I have 2 gambits that are named in the chess database that nobody had ever played! There not complicated! If you could do a video on one of these that would be great! Van geet Düsseldorf gambit: Nc3 c5 b4 Kings fianchetto opening Lasker simul special vankuijic gambit: g3 h5 nf3 h4

[@danielsmerdel8214]

That's quite the impressive name for a gambit - referring to the second of course

[@ganrimmonim]

Going to try this.

[@bababooeu7539]

I didn't play the Wagon gambit before, but I have one interesting gambit. After 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 a6 3. Nc3 b5 4. cxb5 axb5 5. Nxb5 you can play 5. c5. It's not as dubious as the Wagon gambit and it has an interesting idea. If they take 6. dxc5 you can play 6. Qa5+ forking the king and the knight. The only way to save them is to go to c3 which then you will play Ne4 and pressure the knight. I suggest you look into it

[@HighlyCruciferous]

That's actually quite intriguing ! My first thought at reading this was that White should be able to acheive some particularly favourable form of Benko but on closer inspection this doesn't seem possible. So yes, definitely worth looking into !

[@HighlyCruciferous]

Now all you need are some insane variations like the Queen sac line presented in this video...

[@jaybingham3711]

Understandable...but being the proximate cause of a 1000% impact...and at the highest levels!?Much cooler and spectacular than 50k subs...or even 100k. Big kudos to you! Very impressive.

[@willmorrisusa]

The Super GM must've been pissed that he couldn't figure it out in the opening.

[@georgewashington895]

There is gambit called the maddigan gambit that is very similar to the wagon and the Budapest. You should defiently make a video on it

[@tolkienfan1972]

That's awesome! Is it even possible to explore a position without "tangents"?

[@chemicalexposure8537]

WE LOVE WAGON GAMBIT! WE LOVE WAGON GAMBIT!

[@tomrunner3908]

hello

[@sneakyonthebeat]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="526">8:46</a> why does the back rank queen sac not work, the knight and rook are not coordinated so it should work?

[@JonathanSchrantz]

If 24. ... Qb1+, White doesn't take the Queen immediately but instead plays 25. Rd1 and avoids the back rank mate.

[@WoolyCow]

i was wondering the same thing! glad u commented this :D

[@sneakyonthebeat]

@@JonathanSchrantz thank you

[@jacobpope9269]

Guess you could say Monkey King hopped on the BANDWAGON!? AMIRITE?

[@FrankAnzalone]

More like off

[@gregorymorse8423]

Did you know that if you beat an opponent 10 consecutive times with this gambit, it's called a "bandwagon adoption"

[@tomrunner3908]

hello

[@victorfinberg8595]

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="87">1:27</a>, isn't Bd2 just much stronger? alternatively, Nf3

[@tomrunner3908]

hello

[@ShinJLoh]

Did black miss checkmate @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="525">8:45</a>? After white captures the pawn with Rd7, black can move Qb1+ with check, forcing white to take the queen with the rook and allowing black to recapture the rook with forced backrank mate. The only way that white prevents mate there is for the knight to block the check and give up the rook (which will inevitably lead to white's loss)

[@bababooeu7539]

No, Rxb1 is not forced! There is one other move, Rd1, blocking the check with the rook and now you have to move the queen out the way. This is one tactical defence that, in many occasions, a lot of players miss.

[@ShinJLoh]

@@bababooeu7539 Ah I missed that, good eye!

[@itskmillz]

ive been trying to play it so hard but everyone declines it for some reason lol

[@HighlyCruciferous]

The declined variations are fun too.

[@Collin0]

they fear the wagon

[@arslanovchessshow]

hi:D

[@JonathanSchrantz]

Hi!

[@BobChess]

We should ban Wagon Gambit. This is too overpowered

[@SocialSophia]

*Why don't they just make SGM a real title?*

[@icedragon5743]

MONKEY KING MISSED M4 BRO

[@colegieseking5136]

It’s so difficult for me to accept that the wagon gambit actually has some merits. I look at it and just think “you dumb wagon, you’ll never be good for anything.”

[@jedinxf7]

same lol but this game had an awesome beginning

[@grim_blazer9120]

Day 38 of asking for a video on my funny English lines

[@icedragon5743]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="526">8:46</a> BLACK MISSED M4 BLACKS TURN QUEEN SACRIFICE B1 AND ROOK TAKES B1 AGAIN AND THEN WHITE BLOCKS THEN BLACK TAKES AND WHITE BLOCKS WITH KNIGHT AND BLACK TAKES KNIGHT CHECKMATE

[@willdavid3501]

Whites Rook can fall back to first rank; blocking the check and threatening Blacks Queen

[@MrDrompel]

Back rank mate was missed by black.

[@kyresd]

No it wasn't

[@MrDrompel]

8:45 QG1

[@EvertfromNederland]

@@MrDrompel Not exactly but it was winning material. If the Queen checks on G1, the Knight can block on e1. The queen can't take the knight, but has to take the rook, then the opponent can move the king next to the knight on f1, and thus the mate is avoided. Winning non the less for black.

[@patrickhickey7673]

The rook on d7 can also block the check, with both rooks defending each other through the queen

[@EvertfromNederland]

@@patrickhickey7673 Lol you know what, that is way better and i can't believe i misread that. I saw it but dismissed it quickly.
