    The most amazing thing about this line is that in the first line, after 8. Qh5+ g6, the second most common move even among 2000+ level players is 9. Qe5+, apparently oblivious to the knight on C6. 24 players in the Lichess database at the 2000 level gave up their queens in this manner, although that is out of 13,781, so fewer than 1 in 500, but it is still a shocking blunder for that level. Even weirder, out of those 24 games, in 12 of the games, black responded with Qe7, in 2 of the games, black responded with Be7, and in 1 game, the move was Kf7.

    Hey Igor! I actually noticed something. On 9:50 it's still a good idea to Qh5+ simply because the king has nowhere to go except black squares, so when you do actually take the bishop you check him again and it's your move as opposed to black's move, even though you're in the same "final" position!

    At 5:53 I wouldn't castle cus this variable looks like the giuoco piano game which leads to the greco gambit. I will capture pawn at d4 and the bishop will give a check at c4. I'll then cover with the night to c3 hoping for night to capture at e4. Then I'll castle

    There are some more variations to this attack. I don't personally play it, though maybe I'll practice it some. I do see it enough to know what needs to get done to hopefully get a relatively even position. Can be dangerous though as one slip up can easily lead to mate.

    • @ryanabshier
      @ryanabshier 9 днів тому

      In another video Igor talks about playing E4, then D4 on the next move. Skip the knight F3 on move 2.
      I like this MUCH more for this exact reason. You get to play the line basically every game. You play E4, most games opponents go E5, then BOOM, take my pawn! And it's not a "bad gambit" this way, you are even from the evaluation but only if your opponent knows some awkward moves.
      Then you play bishop C4 on move 3. Then you take the knight out depending on what your opponent does.
      Again, then is much better for most elo ratings because it's more forcing and super fun to play with all the sacrifices.

    I tried the Haxo gambit, however after d4, my opponent refused to take and went d6.I continued with Bc4 then they countered with Be6 which blocked my main attack. I decided to try fork by pushing to d5. After exchange of knight, pawn, pawn I was left with a knight that was pinning my queen but blundered... so with all that said, I'd love to see a video on various ways black could decline to take your d4 and how to handle it. I do like the idea of this gambit.

    I always had great positions with this gambit. The best part is thst this gambit is so easy to understand, no heavy theory or anything. All the moves for white are almost logical and chances to blunder are low.
    I learnt it on my own, i never even knew that this gambit existed. It was only when i opened the analysis i realized this is a gambit.
    I used to play it in a bit of a spahgetti way, mixing up moves but it was always a strong position.

    You can't use online win rates for traps because bots play the same scripted trap lines against each other over and over to artificially boost their ratings (and the botmaker then sells the account). Playing trap lines won't trigger the automatic bot detectors because computers don't fall for traps, and nothing stands out unusual in a manual review of the game (other than one side apparently fell for a trap).
