For the third trap (timestamp 13:24) I think white can mess up this line by playing Bb5+ instead of Bb3 to defend the pawn. If white plays Bb5+ and you block with the pawn it doesn't allow you to play the eventual Qd3++ and if you block with the knight you can't play the fork Nc2+. What do you recommend?

I love the Rousseau gambit, i started playing it after the first video when i had Elo 1750 and it brought me a lot of victories. When i reached Elo 1900 i started facing 4.d4 more frequently, and lost a couple of games. I got destroyed on the dark squares. But now in this video you show you can take on e4 and go for a risk/reward set up. I tried it, 3 times, and 3 times i won. Highly satisfying to win with this gambit and i can confirm it works against 2000 elo players. Your videos are the best, i hope you make a lot more
I played in the 1600-1750 range in Scholastic Chess, and I had many victories off of the Danish Gambit for white. Even games that I lost were a lot of fun to play.
And me too 👌🏻...i won so many chess games after i saw this gambit on your channel and thank you for that... 3rd trick is new to me 🤯, and so cool and "gangsta" like you said at the beginning of this video...all the best regards 💪🏻
To the situation at 4:45 i come often when i start with the bush gass gambit. Its great, so i can play stafford or rousseau. Also for white i prefer bishops opening, that leads to various cool lines.
he also said ng1 the only move in the last video where he showed this trap... i dont know why he always is wrong in this part but im not a gm. if white plays nd4 black got a big problem.. but if we just ignore it no one plays it? ^^ i dont get it. stockfish cant handle the situation if nd4 and nxd4 but who is this stockfish to tell us what is good or bad. as a gm he shouldnt say Forced to go Ng1 because thats just 100% wrong.
This is one of the most fun gambits I have come across in a very long time Thank you as always GM Smirnov.. your videos are always fun to watch and learn from
This damn gambit destroyed my damn win streak and guess what I am 1038 elo I have gotten that 1000 elo and I'm happy and then alot of people just used this damn gambit
Finished in 14 with Qxh3#. White tried a Queen defense where a double check forced White to defend with and lose the Queen. Was a lil worried about an early Qh5+ but the wide open fried liver was too tempting for White to pass up. Good stuff!
Igor - you are awesome in what you do ! Your energy makes these learning videos interesting and that much more fun !!! Heartfelt thanks on behalf of all the kids who are learning from your videos
I like the way that you demonstrate that the response to a threat is multiple threats back. There's almost always, at my very low level, an emotional reaction to the N fork on c2. Thank you for showing me how I can exploit this.
I absolutely love playing the Rousseau Gambit. I have scored numerous victories, and I finally ended a losing streak against one of my friends who is an avid chess player. Thank you so much for your videos.
I was doing Dura's Gambit that transformed to this very trick. The opponent maintained the H file with his rook. I never thought of the idea to re-route my knight and force him leave the G-File. We ended up killing each other's rook. However, I won the game due to him not getting the chance to castle and save his king. I also admire your idea of first capturing the white's Bishop before forking the king and the rook. Thanks mate.
Mr. GM Smirnov, it seems that I understand after three month of listening and watching your videos better your perfect English. Maybe after a year I will shine between the chess players who beat me now.
What happens if after black plays f5 white reply nd4?! Can you show us this variation!? Sorry after black plays e4 attacking the knight then black plays nd4!?,what happens
Many of your recommendations are great. But, they do not cover all the scenarios and I have noted people in my rank zone (~1200-1300) are able to counter these moves at times with scenarios not covered by you. But, can't deny your videos are very helpful :) Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Every time I have pushed f5 for the “Rousseau gambit”, I lose my knight to bxg8. I’m still not convinced f5 is a smart move if they snatch your knight instead.
в конце вариант из перевернутого венского) .. как это часто бывает идеи при схожем построении перекликаются (1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.f4 d5 4.fe Ne4 5.d3!? Qh5 6.g3 Ng3 7.Nf3 Qh4 8.Nd5 Na6 9.Nf4! Qh6 10.Ne2 +- )
I actually played this opening in a tournament. At time stamp 1:13 instead of playing Ng1 my opponent actually played Nd4 after thinking for a long time. I happily took his N with my N which landed me in a worse position. I'm waiting for the third part of Rousseau Gambit in which you cover the line where white sacs N on d4....
I love Igor's phrasing. "Totally destroys write", "totally losing", "white might as well resign now", "Now the Queen is trapped and you just win!", "Punish a bad move" lol. Love them all.
I love this Gambit, along with the Luccini and the similar Jaenish against the Ruy Lopez, for blitz and bullet. Especially as I play the Vienna as white. I feel that the very sharp lines improve my tactical development and piece coordination. I always played the Caro before, but now that's just for slower time controls.

It's very useful for even advanced players. Thanks
I literally discovered this on my own one week ago and its amazing!
I have played this gambit since the last video on this gambit, and it's been very useful.
Gong to have to try this opening!Thanks!
I have analyzed this using Stockfish. While can take f5 no problem and white holds the pawn.
You answered all my previous questions, thank you.
Igor you make the best chess videos
I love this gambit thanks for making more videos of it! keep up the good work!
🙏

Love your work Igor! This is my favourite gambit it rocks!
😀
At 1:05 it is possible to play Nd4 because if you take the knight Queen h5 is possible with +3,6. After Nd4 is the correct move Nf6 with equal play.
he also said ng1 the only move in the last video where he showed this trap... i dont know why he always is wrong in this part but im not a gm. if white plays nd4 black got a big problem.. but if we just ignore it no one plays it? ^^ i dont get it. stockfish cant handle the situation if nd4 and nxd4 but who is this stockfish to tell us what is good or bad. as a gm he shouldnt say Forced to go Ng1 because thats just 100% wrong.
I highly recommend the other two videos about this gambit. I love this gambit, it helped me win so many games in beautiful ways
Glad it helped!

Counter to the counter of the rousseau gambit(OP)
Thank you Coach🙏 please make video like this about vienna gambit,all lines 😁
My favorite opening! I'm a gambit head, and my 2nd favorite after this one is the Englund gambit: Hartlaud-Charlick variation.
Great lesson Igor thank you

I have beaten many higher ranked players based on this gambit you had in a previous video. it works. thanks!
Nice work!
I love it and have to remember these steps to give it a go 😁💪👍

Your enthusiasm, Your abilities, You are such a GREAT !!! GREAT Teacher !!! Thanks GM Smirnov !!!
I am going to pick this up right away, these kinds are perfect for blitz games
Just got into chess. Will be studying all your videos....slowly lol. Thanks for the content.
Thing about chess, if opponent doesn’t play like you expect, your traps don’t work 😅
@9:20 they are more likely to move knight to take rook, because its also a check
worth thinking through scenarios like this though
Playing this in 2/1 games all the time and so much fun, thanks Igor!!
Thank you!
This is really good stuff !
Good I learn a lot in this video thanks sir for guiding
I really enjoy your opening tricks and ploys
I love your videos, they are very interesting, educative and entertaining. Please continue.
Great idea thank you
This was so helpful thanks igor
7:24 also if your opponent tries Ke2 you promote to a freakin Knight! either winning the queen or mating white.
Thank you very much. I really love to play the rousseau..
Enjoy
with you, Chess seems so beautiful and wining so easy
The knight moved anticlockwise. I loved it. I defe
What happens if after black plays f5 white reply nd4?! Can you show us this variation!? Sorry after black plays e4 attacking the knight then black plays nd4!?,what happens

Hi sir
something interesting to learn :) Thanks..is this noted somewhere so I can repeat if to memory?
Have you ever thought about making a video on the ponziani counter gambit?
Every time I have pushed f5 for the “Rousseau gambit”, I lose my knight to bxg8. I’m still not convinced f5 is a smart move if they snatch your knight instead.
I like the way you teach, I've learned a lot

Hi Igor, what advice would you give if after f5-d3 , Bc5-Kc3??
I actually played this opening in a tournament. At time stamp 1:13 instead of playing Ng1 my opponent actually played Nd4 after thinking for a long time. I happily took his N with my N which landed me in a worse position.
I'm waiting for the third part of Rousseau Gambit in which you cover the line where white sacs N on d4....
5...Nf6 and if 6. Nxc6 then 6...dxc6 followed by Bxf5
Knights site back maneuvers is sick 😮
I’ve been playing this gambit non stop for the past year. Bout time it deserves some love. Also works in the Ruy Lopez game.
Great job!!
thank you very much
Very informative
I love Igor's phrasing. "Totally destroys write", "totally losing", "white might as well resign now", "Now the Queen is trapped and you just win!", "Punish a bad move" lol. Love them all.

LOVE this, it is a better version of the Latvian gambit, which I love to play!
