    One of my greatest chess brags is that as a 10 y/o tournament player (rating maybe 1600ish) in the 90s, I would almost always sacrifice the knight in the opening if it forced the black King to take. I knew my opponents never knew what to do, and being down 3 points in material meant literally nothing because they could never stabilize the position or fully develop even half of their pieces. Seeing this "alien gambit" now as an adult who sucks at chess kind of makes me proud, because I know I've accidentally played this opening as a kid. But that's enough ego stroking for one day.. thx for the uploads Gotham. I'm rediscovering chess as an adult and loving every minute of it!

    Man u should really try this on bullet chess(1min) at your level. Witty Alien already won against many Gms.A little bit of studie and u would crush your oponents and get lots of content( and brilliant moves)

    To play the Alien Gambit you must play like Witty Alien.
    Make a few turns to set up but then sac and attack. Keep initiative and calculate like a monster

      @ItsChessBlazer I'm no expert but I can offer you advice like at your current level, maybe try including big names in your thumbnails/titles like you could say something along the lines of "I played like magnus carlsen" or "I played faster than hikaru" or "pre-moving against bots series" stuff like this seem pretty eye catching and for your thumbnails, you can continue to do what you're doing but when you include the name of a big chess personality like magnus hikaru Hans or any other big chess names you could use an image of them and an expression to describe your video atmosphere. I hope this helps

    Hi Levy, I'm curious what you think about 5...Be6 as a defense against the alien. White can get a similar structure but black has a less vulnerable king since it will retain castling rights. I'm still learning but it doesn't look as bad to me!
