2....Bc5 is mentioned in Staunton way back in the 1800s. Just thought I'd mention it. I analysed lines with ...Nc6 on a computer over 20 years ago thinking I had come up with something. But every line ended up being bad for black.
Do we have more games of Busch-Gass? I hope so, what a player! Definitely would like to watch them with your commentary Jonathan, because I find your commentary hilarious!
if someone tries stafford on me, i usually respond with 4. pe5 which typically forces ne5, followed by 5. pd4 (NOT pd3!!!) which prevents bc5 on black's part. i then go with 6. bc6 in response to 5.... qh5, this playable response is not possible with this gambit. and of course, the traxler variations are even more of a bonus!
4:31 "Qe2 or Qf3 are the most populer moves"? I imagine, that most people would intuitively play 8.g3 after 7...Qh4. And then what to do with white? After 8.g3 the position is like -2,88, pff :-)
I thought this was going to be a new variation in the Stafford... At the lower levels, you see this Busch-Gass gambit once every 30 games or so playing e4 e5. No doubt it'll be once every 5 games or so now if Eric Rosen is playing it... 😂
Hi jonathan! great video, I love your channel. I have a question, I have been doing recently a study of all stafford gambit variations and tried to make it a playable opening, also using your magical line. What is your response to 10.f4? because I have no idea how to continue from there, and I just can't find a move, so I would like your advice. Also, recently I had a game with the magical line in a FDA tournament where my opponent played 10. 0-0 and I ended up getting a bad position, so I would like if you could analyse that game. Anyways, thank you for putting such great content!
4. Nc3 seems like an easy way for white to side-step the prep. If black takes the knight on e5, d4 operates as a fork to recover the piece, while if 4...Bxf2, 5. Kxf2 Nxe5; 6. d4 gives white enough central control and development to offset the displaced king. No doubt Stockfish will have a more daring refutation but this looks like an easy way for white players to get to a relatively low-risk += position without requiring specialist knowledge. The true gambit continuation for black would be 4...Qe7 but that seems to give a much less promising version from the black perspective due to the important tempo loss.
With gambits like this seems like White can just take the pawn and then move back to f3 and then play d3 and consolidate. Of course he will have some defending to do but this is frequently the case with gambits accepted.
@@joeb4142 If you have both stafford and traxler in your reportoire, most of this isn't farfetched. I'm obviously not saying I found the right continuations but I've definitely had a lot of these positions in my games, i could even look em up if you would like :)
Thanks for the video. I think the lower rated players should be excluded from the database in these types of videos, because otherwise we get bad suggestions. It is likely that for many novice players 2...Bc5 was a blunder and not a gambit. I am not so interested in those games.
1:23 it starts like a London for Black. BTW, is there a London system for black? 🤔 I know there anti-london options...Antonio and Levy has videos about it, but a London for black? 🤔
Many of them are named after the players who either discovered them or the placed they were discovered. in this example part of the name is after the player who first played the gambit.
this is so dumb, if someone played it id just take the pawn and back nf3, this is just London system players who premoved e4 thinking they were black .
I know you started with "dubious" and these gambits are what you're known for, but damn I hate these videos. "If your opponent makes the worst possible move, then you can..." 😴😴😴
This opening is very popular among lower rated players. I don't think they even mean to gambit that pawn.
so true.
Yes, hanging a pawn for no reason
I reckon many of them are playing for Scholar's Mate (which is consistent with the most usual reply to 3.Nxe5 being 3...Qh4).
I actually prefer to gambit my Queen
among
“Fans of dubious gambits…” You’ve got my attention Jonathan!
he got me at "losing by force". that's the kind of games i need advice for!
Looks like a synthesis of the Stafford and the Traxler. I like it.
Absolutely insane lines on display, loving it.
More in-depth and more variations would always be welcome, keep up the good work!
Eric Rosen is salivating at that title...
Stafford meets Traxler? Sign me up!!!
Somebody needs to develop a gambit in which you sacrifice two towers in the opening. And name it Bush gambit.
As always, very positive chess energy from you Jonathan. Cant wait to see more videos on this opening in the future
I miss your cheery disposition. I hope your life is going well. God bless you.
You are objectively the best and most creative chess channel on youtube and I look forward to your every video

Beautiful game; great video. Like^3.
Oh No My Eric
that was a really juicy game by Bush by the way :)
This is becoming my go to chess channel especially for openings!! Thanks jonathan!!
Lesgooo, some new wacky stuff
Do we have more games of Busch-Gass? I hope so, what a player! Definitely would like to watch them with your commentary Jonathan, because I find your commentary hilarious!
Amazing
2:39 Well this actually doesn't lose by force, F.M. William proved it by beating Stockfish with this gambit!! :D
Thanks Jonathan! I love bad gambits! This stuff is too fun at 1000ish blitz 😂
Ha. I love when there’s bush gas.
Stafford meets the Traxler Variation!!! Pleaseeee😁😍
Really good stuff appreciated 👏
The theme song is so awesome.
I accidentally fall into the first line Kxf7 yesterday. Amazed to see this video today
Great stuff and great analysis
Very good, thanks!
Incredible!
Great stuff 👏👏
if someone tries stafford on me, i usually respond with 4. pe5 which typically forces ne5, followed by 5. pd4 (NOT pd3!!!) which prevents bc5 on black's part. i then go with 6. bc6 in response to 5.... qh5, this playable response is not possible with this gambit.
and of course, the traxler variations are even more of a bonus!
Very well spoken
I'm pretty sure I'd be a gm instead of a solid 1200 if I didn't love dubious gambits
Big fan man😀
Love this thing
6:19 I had to think for a minute, then saw that indeed the queen has to take the rook to save the king from checkmate
And then he sacrifices THE KNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good stuff!
After 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Bc5 3.Nxe5 Nc6 White can play 4.Nc3, transposing to the position after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Bc5 4.Nxe5.
Has anyone considered 1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 Bc5 3.b4. Makes all the bad things go away.
4:31 "Qe2 or Qf3 are the most populer moves"? I imagine, that most people would intuitively play 8.g3 after 7...Qh4. And then what to do with white? After 8.g3 the position is like -2,88, pff :-)
And then he sacrifices THE BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that all of the million people who played this gambit pre moved the London system

I learned about this gambit about 5 years ago when I played it on accident as a newb lol at the time the only video I found was in spanish.

Please make a video on traxler counterattack and make it more aggressive 😀
Only u can make it 200% aggressive and ultra razor sharp
great , but what to do if the king does not take the bishop At 4:00. Please help!
I'm going to try it :)
Who would win in a Stafford game, Johnathon or Eric Rosen?
I try everything u suggest, please analyse traxler counterattack, i want to use against my friend😁
nice
Could you make a video of the traxler thing in the busch gass please?
Awesome, I've actually played a bunch of these positions, first time I've ever seen what I thought were my slightly custom tricks in a video
Sure 🙄

I think I will start writing 1.e4 as 1.e4?
George W. Has teh farts! He fards then he shids
Bush gas’s gambit
I want to watch opening for black so please put the same
I guess the starting position is Jalalabad gambit.
What if instead of capturing the queen knight early on knight wins tempo on bishop?
Thanks for the video. I think the lower rated players should be excluded from the database in these types of videos, because otherwise we get bad suggestions. It is likely that for many novice players 2...Bc5 was a blunder and not a gambit. I am not so interested in those games.
That isn't brand new, I used to play that as a junior. I also used to try 1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 b6 - any way to make that work?
hikaru crusged this gambit with Nc3 (not d3) and h6
1:23 it starts like a London for Black. BTW, is there a London system for black? 🤔 I know there anti-london options...Antonio and Levy has videos about it, but a London for black? 🤔
If you like the london try caro-kann and learn the line of playing c5 if they push e5 (advance variation)
Question: Who names the gambits? Or where do the names come from?
Many of them are named after the players who either discovered them or the placed they were discovered. in this example part of the name is after the player who first played the gambit.
Soyjak
is it fair opening for both sides ???????

Chiodini is pronounced
Key-o-dini
The push gas gambit?
john listen buddy. i really like you. please don't fall into the stupid of the internet. you do not have to make a pog face in all of your thumbnails.
What an oddly stupid thing to criticize
I clicked on this video to learn how to refute another trash opening like Stafford.
this is so dumb, if someone played it id just take the pawn and back nf3, this is just London system players who premoved e4 thinking they were black .
I know you started with "dubious" and these gambits are what you're known for, but damn I hate these videos. "If your opponent makes the worst possible move, then you can..." 😴😴😴
You didn't watch the video if you think this is "If white blunders, black is winning"
