Wow so many people on here offering half-boiled criticisms for this video and not even taking the time to thank this GM for his time and effort in helping us noobs.
Yea right. He is doing this video to help us. He is doing that because somebody paid him. And he should practice a little bit more at home not to block after every word. And so what if he is GM?
Thank you very much GM Gregory Kaidanov. I liked your video very much, especially because you did not attempt to explain every possible variation, but instead focused on the ones which are relevant to beginners.
I appreciate the time spent to make this instructional video. Evans Gambit is my favorite by far! One thing to recommend: play this at 1.25x speed (he speaks a bit slow). Nevertheless, good show!
Started playing chess one week ago and won 12/15 games yesterday in ~1500 rating using Queens Gambit, Was boring to play the same thing over and over. Tried learning this now but jesus, it's so hard to learn by watching rather than playing. Will have to watch this once, play 15 games, lose 14 out of the 15 games, watch it again, play 15 games to then maybe win half. I'll see what happens, really good video. Watched 4 Evans Gambit videos and liked this one the most. Thanks!! :)
Very inspiring presentation, Gregory, thanks for posting! Tired of positional maneuvering and theory, I've decided to spice up my game a little, so I'm taking up the Giuoco Piano (not so piano with the lines I've chosen...) with the Evans if black plays 3...Bc5 and the Fried Liver attack if he plays 3...Nf6. This is a great vid for intermediates, as you show basic manoeuvres, attacking schemes and simple plans
Incredible video, i had already seen 2 15 min plus viedos on this opening and taken notes, some is the same but the depth and ideas GM Kaidanov goes into is extremely appreciated. i do have one question though. this is popular at beginner and intermediate levels, why not at higher levels?
24:14 Rf7 is not the only move, you can move queen to E6, then you need another 18 moves to do the check mate, which means black can even win if white loses in time without being able to check mate black !
Yes! The Evans Gambit is great (you might want to check out a recent game by Nakamura at the US Chmps - I think he used the Evans Gambit to massacre Robert Hess - awesome game). Cheers, Will
Thanks for making a great video - the concepts are really helpful. I do have a question though: I always get stuck with Evans at a certain point (I'm the first to admit, I'm not very good): after 6. d4, my opponents typically play d6 (instead of e5xd4). After that I tend to lose momentum. What would you do in that situation?
2. When you go back 10+ moves, it would be very helpful if you were to restart the board completely and spend 15sec on showing us up to the point where your new sub-opening developes. Otherwise I can only say very well done, you definetly intrigued me to hear more from you!
Gregoriev saying that moves would be impossible to remember is simply not true, we both know it's very possible. Just act some of the Chinese GMs or even Aronian, etc. It is very possible though difficult. Great video by the way!

i want to know how to i share this video on my Facebook Group page, i have a group there i can share only chess videos but i don,t know how to i share youtube video there
Very nice analysis Kaidanov. There were however two points that kept nagging me. 1. When you say "pause the video" and then continue to talk about the situation; i paused the video found the move, only to unpause and kept being introduced to it :/
In the Qf6 line, what happens if Black responds to White's Nxc3 with Bxc3? Since Black is 2 pawns up he shouldn't mind exchanging his Bishop for Knight if it means taking the teeth out of White's offence -- or is there a deadly response from White?
nychousing you are right, there's no deadly response ( or i dont see it! :) ) i guess after Qxc3 white has a nice compensation because of the bishop pair and attacking posibilities i.e Bd3
I have memorized all 31 moves after black Qf7. But I don't get the opportunity to play the rest of the moves. My opponents always play different moves.
+André Sampson Yes, Bxc3 is also possible. White must play Qxc3 winning the bishop pair and enough compensation for the pawns due to the open position and the lead in development
Not bad all in all, a lot of instructive ideas and combinations, but unfortunatly mixed up with a lot of tedious tutorial for beginners. To extract the interesting part the video could be reduced to a third at least - but wherever you go to learn something new, you have to concede to be played as a bloody beginer I guess, so this is only usual, sorry for complaining about that and thanks for the rest.
Thanks for the feedback guy! We´re looking forward to working with GM Kaidanov in the future. Cheers, Will

Glad to see you enjoyed the course!
I love these chess videos. This is very helpful, the way he explains the concepts, the motifs, and the tactics.
Thanks Mr. Kaidanov! Long live the Evans gambit!
I finally was able to watch this. Definitely worthwhile
Very informative video with great commentary. Thank You

+Tex Meister Yes, if you are a beginner, you should look at the videos many times.
Great video. I love the in-depth analysis. Make more videos please!
Thanks Greg for your wonderful video on Evans gambit!!!
Gregory , thanks! this is the same great instruction that you give in private lessons.
thank you GM Kaidanov, very instructional video.
Thanks for your feedback!
thank you GM Kaidanov for this very informative video
Great job, very informative and well spoken, very important for a chess teacher, thanks!
Thank You. I liked how you explained the ideas behind the moves instead of just showing them.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks - we´re on it!
Thanks I play the Scotch Gambit with mixed results. I will try the Evans Gambit. Nice presentation
Thanks for a soo good lesson about Evans gambit! 😀👍♟

Thank you very much !! great video
Captivating video! Very informative and interesting. Thanks Mr. Kaidanov!

x iLeon Thanks! Yes, Evans Gambit and Fried Liver attack are very interesting lines to play with white pieces.
Great video, I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. It makes me want to practice playing this opening!
ChessHead thanks!
Thank you Gregory for making this very interesting video. Hope I can remember some of these ideas. Well done!
+TorontoEd7 Thanks for commenting!
what an awesome video!!! Thanks!
Great video, thanks
Hey Qasim, I would recommend sharing the link to the article on our website (you can find that at MORE INFO in the description) - Cheers, Will
Thanks for checking it out flixter! your comment is appreciated!

+Colm Brown yw!
Incredibly insightful thanks
very instructive! thanks Greg
excellent video!
Thanks very specified, very nice explanation
Thanks for watching and commenting
fantastic!
Well explained, good pace between moves.
very beautiful analysis
can u please make a video about smith moora gambit
Incredible video, i had already seen 2 15 min plus viedos on this opening and taken notes, some is the same but the depth and ideas GM Kaidanov goes into is extremely appreciated. i do have one question though. this is popular at beginner and intermediate levels, why not at higher levels?
Hey! I think i play with this guy many years ago in Paris. With white against a Sicilian. Not shure. He was absolutly lost and gain on the clock.
Great comment! Yes, you found a faster mate and improved on GM Kaidanov!!
Thanks Patricia! YES - EVANS GAMBIT YES!
thanks!!
Excellent video for beginners and intermediates. However, being a stronger player, I would like to see a video with more detailed analysis. Tnx.
Fantastic!
24:14 Rf7 is not the only move, you can move queen to E6, then you need another 18 moves to do the check mate, which means black can even win if white loses in time without being able to check mate black !
what a great video, beautiful, really beautiful....
Thanks!

Yes! The Evans Gambit is great (you might want to check out a recent game by Nakamura at the US Chmps - I think he used the Evans Gambit to massacre Robert Hess - awesome game). Cheers, Will
yeaaaa Carlos!

After that I tend to lose momentum. What would you do in that situation?
+Kieron Jansch Yes ..., 6...,d6 seems a more solid move. But white can continue with a similar plan by playing his queen on b6 attacking the f7 point.
Great video :)
I would like to see you play another match with Greg Shahade.
2. When you go back 10+ moves, it would be very helpful if you were to restart the board completely and spend 15sec on showing us up to the point where your new sub-opening developes.
Otherwise I can only say very well done, you definetly intrigued me to hear more from you!
Very educational video with in-depth analysis.Thank you very much!
P.S. At 21:48 what if black plays Bb6 rather than Rb8
Thanks again
Gregoriev saying that moves would be impossible to remember is simply not true, we both know it's very possible. Just act some of the Chinese GMs or even Aronian, etc. It is very possible though difficult. Great video by the way!
thanks texas! well.. its not easy sometimes.. ;) GM Lemos
hi Gregory, Thanks for brilliant video you have shared!

i want to know how to i share this video on my Facebook Group page, i have a group there i can share only chess videos but i don,t know how to i share youtube video there
i think Rxb6 axb6 Nxc7 and white wins a piece
very nice
great!!
Very nice analysis Kaidanov.
There were however two points that kept nagging me.
1. When you say "pause the video" and then continue to talk about the situation; i paused the video found the move, only to unpause and kept being introduced to it :/
Yeah Schutzafell, melv douc has it. fried liver attack has e4, knight f3, bishop c4, knight g5, threatening knight x f7, forking queen and rook.
In the Qf6 line, what happens if Black responds to White's Nxc3 with Bxc3? Since Black is 2 pawns up he shouldn't mind exchanging his Bishop for Knight if it means taking the teeth out of White's offence -- or is there a deadly response from White?
Hi! tell me the exact min (for instance 10.02) and i'll help you better. GM lemos
OnlineChessLessons.NET 18min 20sec
nychousing you are right, there's no deadly response ( or i dont see it! :) ) i guess after Qxc3 white has a nice compensation because of the bishop pair and attacking posibilities i.e Bd3
thanks Qasim!
And do u have any tricks against ruy Lopez
Thank you this video is great I can defeat anyone now.
B. Fischer "the only American champion in the history of chess"? Some fans of Paul Morphy might beg to differ.
He said the only two American grandmasters to play each other.
Beg as they may, they'll still be officially wrong...
to x iLeon : Who is "they"? Again Kaidanov said two American GMs to play each other. Not sure I follow you.
"They" refers to the Morphy fans... You shoulda got it by the fact I've poetically used the same word, beg...
Remember Staunton dodged the draft against Morphy, so that was one challenge Morphy didn't rise above. Just sayin'
THE PLAYS!!!!
Actually this was mostly the latter. TBH I'd forgotten all about the Evans Gambit by the end of the thing.
Lol!! I missed that defense, it's very pretty actually. Would still have been a very nice sideline to mention by the GM!
because it comes from the italian game, two knights defense
I sure am glad he didn't overwhelm me with information ... :/
Another great video, but please edit the aammm sounds!!! Let me edit this for you, is so easy to edit.
The intro music... awesome
I have memorized all 31 moves after black Qf7. But I don't get the opportunity to play the rest of the moves. My opponents always play different moves.
+Castellazzi You should understand the ideas behind the moves more than memorize them!
+iChess.net always playing aggressive moves and attacking the queen. Thank you for the information.
at 29:30 i was wondering wut happens after 0-0-0, seem like it's still a playable endgame once blk coordinates his/her pieces
5:06 Queen f6 and the knight is gone. Im confused by this weird sidenote.
@29:29 white is up only 1 in material, and the knight on h8 will fall. don't really understand
The bishop on e6 and the knight on b3 are hanging. Black is gonna lose more material in next moves. The knight on h8 is not so easy to capture.
En 24:14 Axf6 es ya mate inevitable sin necesidad de comer el caballo no?
lees speking is good for helth
Hi Greg, thanks for taking the time to make such a detailed video. Question: @ 11:30 when Nxc3 what if black plays bxc3 instead of Nf6
+André Sampson Yes, Bxc3 is also possible. White must play Qxc3 winning the bishop pair and enough compensation for the pawns due to the open position and the lead in development
I wonder what he considers intermediate level. Probably up to 1900 rating....
How To Play Evan同时 GSM比他For Black
how do u create those chess graphics. I mean how do u highlight squares and draw arrows?
I'm not sure which program Kaidanov was using. But it's easy to create them using chessbase.
how many "Aaaamm" he tell??
sort of a comical hand-drawn looking chess graphics.
I commented on this
Wow Bobby Fisher master at deflection. I was like why he do that for. And a second later oh I see xDD
fried liver attack comes from the 4 knights game, don't know why he mentioned it
Not bad all in all, a lot of instructive ideas and combinations, but unfortunatly mixed up with a lot of tedious tutorial for beginners. To extract the interesting part the video could be reduced to a third at least - but wherever you go to learn something new, you have to concede to be played as a bloody beginer I guess, so this is only usual, sorry for complaining about that and thanks for the rest.
You are welcome! :)
Please less openings, more strategy/positional games.
