    Hey everyone, I'm the guy who developed the Silly William. Couple of FAQ's/things worth pointing out:
    1. After e4 e5 Qh5 Nc6 Bc4 g6 Qf3 f5 exf5 (the position at 10:40 aka "The Silly Willy") There are two branching pathways. Jonathan Schrantz made a video on the immediate Nd4, which is is the objective best move in the position, but requires decent theoretical knowledge in order to navigate its waters cause of the vast array of squares the Queen can shuffle to in response. That's why I ultimately chose to focus of on the other pathway: Nf6, which offers a second pawn (the Silly Billy) and has a more straightforward gameplan after fxg6 and d5! You all saw just a taste of the devastation caused by delaying Nd4.
    2. At 22:25 if white had moved their bishop to b5 in this position instead of retreating it to b3, then the move I recommend is Qd5, which supports both knights simultaneously, prepares castles long, and offers a THIRD pawn, (The full on Silly William) This takes away our Nd4 ideas, but gives us a world of other options with all of our pieces soon ready to join in the idea and our king safely tucked away on the queenside. All of this is covered in my study which Mr. Graif linked in the description.
    3.I will be co-hosting a charity chess tournament online on February 16th along with Mr. Graif from the Scholar's Checkmate Attack position. If you're interested in signing up, (and getting a chance to play the gambit man himself) you can read more about it in Mr. Graif's fantastic discord server, or you can dm me on lichess at bader-ade
    4. No, the Silly William has nothing to do with William Graif's name. Though I am still finishing the annotations to the study, the theory was developed and named months before I met with Mr. Graif. I just really liked the name "Silly William" for a gambit. The fact that it shares a name with the gambit man himself is pure coincidence.

      exf5 is also objectively awful move by white, every Qh5 enthusiast should go with Ne2 :^)

    Love the thought process verbalized, and the non serious gambit approach to chess

    Blunder at 7:13. White can play Re1. The rook is covered by the knight and queen so Qxe1 is not possible. If the queen moves then the rook is lost.

      Wayward Quayward is my new favorite name for 2 Qh5.

    Probably silly question, but why can't white play c3 on 14:46 ?

  • @bongcloud4442

    e4 e5 Qh5 is honestly good opening if you're booked up, a psychological gambit if you will

    I think something went wrong in the editing on that last game. The game jumped ahead.
