    Really love these deep dives into opening like you did with the English. Very instructive as English main

      Thanks for your comment! Apparently there was a technical glitch and the last half hour of the video didn't upload. Working on fixing it--will put a link to the full video in the description once it's ready. Check back tomorrow.

      The stream died where the first video cut out, so about 2 minutes were lost in the transition.

    Just started the video. Looking for Rousseau Gambit or Schultze-Mueller (which reminds me a bit of the Halloween Gambit). Crossing fingers ...

      @@小胖-q8v Well, darn! THAT'S why the one reminded me of the other! Context is important--the last time I saw the Halloween discussed, it was ... Halloween.
      Edit: Just looked it up on Wikipedia. Also called the Leipzig gambit, because the Leipzig chess club members notoriously used it to good (probably monetary) effect.
      Someone's currently playing the SM gambit against me, I didn't recognize it, and when I looked it up, it only called it Schultze-Mueller.

      @mikebaker2436 Рік тому +1

      I assume the rook/queen fork.
      That hangs the knight. White plays the same move it did in the game with check only the knight is adjacent and undefended in that line. #Tactics.
