  • The Vienna Game is a chess opening for attacking players who like tactical play, avoiding main line theory, and little chance of the game reaching an endgame.
    The full Vienna study in PGN format with all the variations shown is available on / hangingpawns
    Visit Chessbook to make working on your repertoire and studying the Vienna Game much easier: chessbook.com/hanging-pawns
    White delays the development of the f3 knight in order to free up the f-pawn and have the possibility of launching a quick kingside attack. Similarily to the King's Gambit, white will, in most lines, like the Vienna Gambit, aim to fight e5 by black by simply offering a pawn to get central control and quick development.
    In this introductory video you can find a brief overview of the most common variations and plans for both sides, and the theory will be covered in four separate detailed videos.

    Black can turn the Mieses Variation into a gambit by playing 3… d5 4. exd5 c6. It’s called the Eeben Gambit, and it can be played as a double gambit, similar to the Danish Gambit. Black contends that 3. g3 is not a useful tempo for white to be up, which is similar the Pickler Gambit where black argues that 2. f4 in the King’s Gambit is actually a harmful tempo for white to be up.

    This and the reousse gambit [I apologise if spelling is wrong] was my earlier repertoire and I actually crossed 1900 with it but it just felt like I was playing for tricks. So I changed it at like high 1900 to london system but the players at this level were so sharp (both positionally and tactically) that my win rate got reduced by 15%. I was so distressed with my performance that I deleted my account and started new one with well known openings. Like Sicilian, London, KID. Anyways it was very fascinating to know that such good players at a high level don't know these very common tricks and traps.

      Rousseau*, and yeah I have both in my repertoire as well. The Vienna Gambit is stronger ofc, but it’s a lot easier to make people play into the Rousseau Gambit since people don’t seem to understand that it’s just a Vienna Gambit in reverse.

    1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 (Nc6) 3.Bc4 Nc6 (Nf6) 4.d3 Na5 (WCh Steinitz) is the big problem.
    1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4 exf4 4.Nf3 g5 5.g3 is actually a King's Gambit: 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.Nc3 (Quaade Gambit) Nc6. After 5.g3 Black's best is Bg7 6.d4 d6 7.d5 (7.Bb5 a6) Ne5 and White's centre has become inflexible.
    So I hope you'll cover these lines - on YT thus far nobody has.

    For someone looking for a weapon against the Vienna gambit, I really recommend 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.f4 d5 4.fxe5 Nxe4 5.Qf3 f5
    These variations are annoying for white if black knows what they're doing. The d4 push against the white structure that is shown here 10:35 is uncomfortable when your queen is already on f3, and no matter what white does black has nice attacking chances

      The idea is after C5 white plays D4 to control the center and attempt to un double pawns if takes. Line continues D4, cxd4, cxd4, Bb4+, Bd2, Qh4+ and u can see the rest of the combination from there. Very easy for white to mess up and hang a rook, queen and bishop I believe

    Levy Rozman (Gothamchess) recommends the Anderssen defense vs the Vienna (2. ... Bc5) will you be covering this? I play this with great success as people often hang Bxg1 tactics, but otherwise it's a great option for black and allows d6 incase of an immediate f4, with an active bishop for Black.

      Because if you take it with your knight, black can push his d pawn (which is protected by blacks queen) and black has a central fork, a common pattern.

    I don't know how you said queen f3 as agressive, and proceeded to trade queen in every variation after that. Queen h4 is like 99% response white will get in 1000 elo range. Which leads to trade of queen, and the trade of queen means boring positional play.
    So the opening is not that good.
