The best thing about the stafford is you just discover new traps nobody knows about if you play it often enough

The great thing about gambits like this is that you immediately force them out of their comfort zone into an opening that they don't know. If you let white play on their typical opening you need to have a good defense against all of the most popular openings such as the Italian or Ruy Lopez. In this opening, you immediately give yourself the initiative and you don't need to memorize a million things based on what white plays. My favorite types of openings are the openings that have a ton of traps and are not principled at all. And when they are rare and unknown is the cherry on top. Thank you for making this video. I will happily study this opening. (also to anyone looking for a nice trappy opening for white, I like the Haxo Gambit. I've been studying it and I love it.) Edit: I am now a proud subscriber and I am looking forward to learning more openings on this channel.

Wow bro. Unstoppable attacks for black. Thank you so much bro. I've learned new things. 😎👍❤️

1st line is refuted by knight taking on f7 and Q check on h5

[@chaos1stmardiv6]

@Volclus didn't look at not taking knight, but very nice 👌

[@solideogloria2298]

I'm contented. From Bunga Cabucgayan Biliran Philippines

[@theexaminer4784]

@21:19 why not white light color bishop goes to f3?

[@ingogoldbeck2886]

I thought i knew some about stafford but now i see i know few.

[@justabearwithouteyes5332]

Stafford Gambit can be summarised in two letters *F2*

[@jjln9494]

Now its time to put this in practice 5 minutes later I lost 😢

[@awekeningbro1207]

I am not smart enough for this

[@chrislevy42069]

I play the reverse stafford gambit against the regular stafford gambit and it makes people mad

[@larrymcgreen]

9:39 i think kg4 is better here (if they take queen h4 and you get a really solid Position

[@TheRomanianWolf]

Are you serious?? That move just BLUNDERS a piece. WEAK MOVE!!!

[@badakgoreng9532]

what if they play ponziani?

[@ecarte931]

In my opinion, the best option for white against Stafford is 5. f3. It controls the g4 square so that all the attacking idea in stafford gambit decays immediately.

[@labestianegra6373]

"Never play f3." GM Ben Finegold.

[@chenfrancis8659]

It weakens your king

[@stevemotocrayz2892]

Actually, h4 is probably better than f3. .it severely limits the Stafford options over there. And following that w/queenside castling allows W to center-attack.

[@unknownconfusion6633]

Ethans gambit+Staffrd gambit. DEATH DESTROYERS OF WORLDS

[@fis-mat-ies4015]

Eric Rosen is the big Boss in Stafford

[@breezynz]

9:51 if you want to continue attacking with black you can play h5!? here (bolstering Ng4) instead of Nxe4 because of white plays h3?? then Ng4!! is winning for black, ive won a couple nice games but you do need engine prep to not get killed as black due to a severe lack of material

[@tobias4411]

Pawn to e5 variation is missing line 9.Qf4... If black not accept the queen trade there is no good square to run away with queen, and white just exchange it in next move lol. 9.Qf4 Be7 10.Qxh4 Bxh4 11.0-0. Ooops the Stafford goes to trashcan 😂. This can be played for thoose who not like 5.f3 (and 0-0-0).

[@Gravitraxbro]

1:27 Did you just say black wins 7% of games in that position?!

[@Volclus]

70%!

[@7amadalogie]

You said that white sencond most common move is g3 but you did not mention the first common move f3 which attack the knight and move the f2 pawn to a save square and as result of all of this thw gambit fail

[@pratyushranjan3913]

but isn't f3 a very bad move if the king is not castled queenside yet? ofcourse our traps won't work now but white has willingly weakened their position instead so that is in our favor as well

[@farouqbaiti4315]

Instead of a draw,why not forking the Queen and the Rook?

[@tobias4411]

White just stops this gambit traps with f3 😆. Good players sees it.

[@chenfrancis8659]

It is still bad because it weakens your king

[@tobias4411]

​@@chenfrancis8659Best move says Stockfish, gives white +1.70 advantage. Also going for long castling later on., so good king safety :-)
