      It shouldn't!
      Not all gambits are tricky and unsound, and giving up material temporarily for an advantage down the road is a necessary part of chess. For example, the Queen's Gambit is extremely solid at all levels, from beginner to advanced.

      @trallegas6589 2 роки тому +1

      @@GMBethHarmon the queen's gambit isnt a real gambit tho,you're 95% of the time not gonna lose the c4 pawn and even if you do theres a lot of activity to show for it,my personal issue is that eventho i know when giving up a pawn for activity is the recommended or better option,i cant really capitalize on it bc im more of a slow positional player rather than a tactical one.Not saying this is in any way an arguement that gambits are bad and shouldnt be played,im just saying that its incredibly hard to be able to play them correctly(ignoring the theory aspect of openings,just assuming you play with no previous knowlege and just your own proficiency in the game guiding you)

    • @GMBethHarmon
      @GMBethHarmon 2 роки тому +1

      @@trallegas6589 If you feel you're a positional player, you should give the Queen's Gambit another try - while it can become pretty tactical, it frequently leads to very positional games, especially when it's declined (Slav Defense, transposition into the Catalan, etc).
      People only say the Queen's Gambit isn't a real gambit because of how solid it is (which just proves that not all gambits are made equal!). The pawn can be taken back by white within the next few moves (and if black refuses to give back the pawn, they will end up with a losing position, if white plays precisely). However, it's still a true gambit, because there are plenty of lines you can opt for as white where the pawn is genuinely sacrificed.
      Even at a beginner level, the Queen's Gambit is one of the most popular d4 openings, because it's easy to play and very sound, unlike some other gambits. The Queen's Gambit shouldn't be thought of like the Stafford or the Elephant Gambit - it's one of the major openings for d4 as the Italian Game or the Ruy Lopez is for e4.

    • @fullfat8112
      @fullfat8112 2 роки тому

      I think "refutes the attack" is going a bit far - Black certainly has options to avoid the queen trade (the knight is defended from the bishop on c8). Not sure what the best continuation for black is, but I'm sure a computer analysis could tell you

    • @roelheirman8398
      @roelheirman8398 2 роки тому

      @@fullfat8112 Oh yeah I don't know why I missed that the bishop still defends. Just checked it with the engine. Queen f4 is actually the move recommended by the engine (white has +2.2 after it, opposed to +1.3 in case the king moves to d2). After that stockfish recommends black to move the queen to b4, threatening to take b2. Then you get b3, qc5, and then the white king has to go to d2 to defend the e3 pawn. The engine still evaluates this line to be better than moving the king right away, I think because you force the queen to move to a much more passive square, avoiding some nasty tactics.
      But yeah, this is all easy to conclude with stockfish in your hands :)

    I hope he plays the 4 pawn attack against the kings Indian or someone plays it against him or both, I've been playing it for fun, you hear clicks and clacks blitzing out the opening moves right up to e4 d6 and after f4 on move 5 the dead air while my opponent, I imagine, is asking themselves, wtf is this? It's always a great moment

    Has Danya ever reviewed Jonathan Schrantz "magical line" against his Stafford refutation?

      Don't know if he even knows about it tbh, judging from this and a few other vids. Would be curious to see his response.

      @@zozzozzzi i've been eagerly waiting for his response every time he mentions the c3 line. I know Nakamura took a look at it and found the refutation in like 2 seconds lol
