Andy Soltis an American GM was once asked how to handle the Danish. Andy responded, "Take two pawns and call me in the morning". Posted for the algorithm. PS Non-Americans and those not from my generation may not understand the colloquialism.
I have started to really appreciate gambits because they show how important activity is and the importance of not making moves that are a "doozy"!
dozy players... they beat ya
Very underrated channel. The content here is worth a lot more than just 15.5K subs.
Thanks a lot sire!
Coach Andras, I have no idea how you pack so much information into such a relatively short video like this but very well done. And my favorite line from this one after that Qg5 move, "Anytime you face a move like this, I highly recommend you evaluate it: Is it what I expected? No. Is it developing? No. Is it controlling the center (centah)? No. So it's a terrible move? Yes!". Just keep developing and black will fall apart soon enough. Very good advice. If we had a breakdown of all the openings like this, it would be liquid gold. You have a wonderful way with words when describing the positions at hand. I wish you much success with your teaching. I'm learning a lot from you.
Thumbs up! This is super helpful because of some of the responses I was confused about. Although the line after completing the Danish setup with dark bishop in the corner. When opponent checks with bishop. I block with my horse next to my king. Which can easily lead to my pond in the center eventually promoting to queen. If opponent overextends with his horse.
I love the way you repeat moves from the start when you cover a new line that make us very easy to remember such a good teacher!!!
"It looks bad because it is bad!" lol. What a hilarious comment. And I imagine everyone, including Chessable's board members, is clapping by now. Well done, Andras! Keep up the awesome work!
A Cecil Purdy quote.
This is the best Danish instructional video I've seen thank you so much. I will be subscribing.
Beautiful explanation, thank u for ur work keep it up, gonna watch all ur video about chess theories/prep from now on since I started studying theory few weeks ago and I like how u explained this one
I capitalized on the Easter sale to grab all three of your principles reloaded courses, and have been devouring them since the weekend. Great material selection!!! I recommend all three to players below (and probably even above) expert!
Very well-done video! I'm studying the gambit with all its variations and this has been a very helpful set of tricks!
One of the best explanations about a gambit. Very Good!
Love the strategic way and principles that govern your thinking . I am listening !!
Lots of coverage and right to the point. Nice!
I will be revisiting this video a LOT. Thanks for the great info!
Great video! So many cool variations, well explained
Best accent, amazing delivery. Love it! Just learning openings again, love the Danish.
One of the best chess videos I've ever seen. Grateful for a guy in a comment section of another chess channel who recommended me to watch Andras. Cool explanation. Subscribed
Thanks mate, glad you liked it, hope you find lots of other useful videos on the channel!
Wow, informative, great pacing, super easy to listen to, good teacher, funny guy, take my thumbs up!
Thanks man, enjoy the channel!
I started playing chess again 10 months ago, after a 40 year gap. The Danish Gambit has taken me from 700 to 1250. I know it's not the most sound of openings but at my level of play opponents fall into one of the many traps around 75% of the time.
I am not sure that is true. At least according to Hikaru, the Danish gambit is quite strong.
I'll watch out for it should we ever meet across the board. 😉
Most people I played against during 700-1000 knew it is a gambit after e4 e5 d4, and will decline it with d6 or other moves, making it an equal game
@@bry2048 You might be able to transpose into these with a bishop's opening. Even with the same move order, you can still gambit the pawn with Bc5 instead of transposing to the Philidor.
I wouldn't call it equal. Simply put, the first pawn isn't gambited, it's the second pawn. Theese are Pirc/Philidor style, and I don't think the Pirc where you do …e5 instead of …Nf6 is that good - this is not the French. Just paying normal chess shoudl give White a slight advantage in the opening (which is the point of openings, not to win with some trap).
Personally, if I played Black into the Danish, the last example looks very good for Black, IMO. I'd take that position over having …d6 any day of the week.
UA-cam suggested this video today... Can't stop myself from subscribing
Welcome onboard Sidharth! The best of my channel according to most people is the "Amateur's Mind" , I recommend a bit of binge watching there!
excellent videos! muchthnks
You are the best teacher on the planet ❤
Your explanation is very clear!
Currently binging all videos! Can’t stop watching!!
You're the best!
Well analysized and commented. Thank you
Very much appreciated!
best video on danish gambit
super lesson
thank you mr toth
Thanks a lot !
I play Goring gambit with one or two pawns sacrificed.Super tactical and the move order is more common , e5 Nc6 players.And usually blitz the moves to look like pre-moves/blunders in Scotch lines and almost force it every time,lol.
5:03 “you might be thinking youre blundering a knight, no im not. Whooopsss!!!
This made my day man
at 12:25 I wished you would have shown Bxf2 because taking with the queen allows the rook to be taken, and Ke2 might be a hard move for some people to see because of discovered check threat. Qxf3 Kxf3 (cant take with King because Bd4 wins your other rook and taking with the knight defends that square)
Love the Danish, such a good weapon with many tricks and ways to go wrong. When I play against it, I go for queenless equal middlegame: avoiding all complications.
1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. c3 dxc3 4. Bc4 cxb2 5. Bxb2 d5 6. Bxd5 Nf6 7. Bxf7+ Kxf7 8. Qxd8 Bb4+ 9. Qd2 Bxd2+ 10. Nxd2
That's probably as good a plan as any under the circumstances. I'll have to remember that idea.
@@michaelkrailo5725 A position white will have played way more than black too. It is ridiculously imbalanced, and if black thinks they can just come up with the correct moves over the board they are in for a rude awakening.
Such videos are helpful for below 1800 ELO players but in an over the board game against any player over 2100 ELO it is a totally different type of chess where planning, deep calculation of various variations and superb positional skill will make all the difference and these are the skills nobody can teach.
Nobody can teach? I am not so sure about that...2100 level positional skills are super easily teachable. 2500 is a different ballpark.
@@ChessCoachAndras I wish it was that easy then everyone would learn positional chess and reach 2100 ELO fast. In reality things work differently though. There are thousands of positional ideas you need to learn. For example, just take a look at Euwe’s two volume of chess strategy: the dynamic and static aspects of chess which is only a small fraction in positional chess. Now you think teaching the contents of these two books is an easy task? OK, openings are easy to teach and I have seen many 1700 ELO players teaching them on youtube and so are basic endgame but teaching positional chess at ELO 2100 is so hard that every coach avoids it. Besides, for learning openings and tactics there are hundreds of effective apps but I have not even seen one app teaching positional chess. In real life chess game it is all about positional skill and deep calculation. 2100-2300 ELO players never allow you get cheap tactics on them nor do they allow you to implement basic chess strategies such as creating open diagona/files or outposts etc. The game tends to be very static and your loss and victory depend on your ability to exploit minor and microscopic advantages. Of course, you know all this better. Also I am talking about classical time control not blitz or rapid chess where any weird mistake is possible.
@@kevinwellwrought2024 All I was saying was that "skills that nobody can teach" is a very bold claim, especially when directed at a 2100 level. I never said it was gonna be instant, or fast. Neither should it be!
@ChessCoach Andras Well, these skills are teachable but my point iwas nobody wants to teach them on UA-cam because it is not easy to teach. It would be great if you started a new series of lessons on the art of positional chess. Karpov, Kramnik and Adams’ games would be good sources.
@@kevinwellwrought2024 Nobody wants to reach weak players' positional chess because they can't play like Karpov, Kramnik, and Adams AT ALL. You try and convert a 3:2 Q-side majority or Superior N vs B 90 moves without missing a tactic or unsound counterattack that beats you anyway. Weak players CAN play like Tal, given weak players ROUTINELY leave their pieces loose, teaching attacking chess the most efficient means of improving.
Mikhail Chigorin was this opening practician.
Mr Andras, great class! At the very end, around 22:18, after black queen goes to f6, white can drop a check with queen on e2 and can get the c4 bishop out of danger on the next move (if pawn delays the capture)?
The knight is still double attacked, so if 10. Qe2+ Be6, 11. B(somewhere) Bxc3+ will eventually net the Qxa1(taking rook with check) if you exchange, or you just lose the bishop the only difference being you allowed Be6 development with two queen moves.
In this position, I believe White does Ne2 and gives back the piece for developing and castling rights. There still may be attacking chances to make up for the 3 pawns, but I'd rather have Black's position as any trades from here on out will be a won endgame for Black.
@@tychay Thanks for the insight. On looking back a bit more, I didnt see another move. Dont you think that the White Queen can check on a4 and pick the black bishop on the next move. The white' bishop is lost but that is an even exchange.
I dont think what I said works with the black knight offering double protection on a Queen check. Ignore my comment.
Playing against the Danish Gambit is like taking a knife to a gun fight.

good content
Hey Harry, thanks for the kind comments!
thanks coach
Видосик супер топ, пасиба
Coach pls help me with this line:
1. e4 e5
2. d4 ed4
3. c3 d3
❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
In the last example why can’t the white bishop just capture the pawn after the queen takes the pawn on f6?
How do I go from 1600 to 2000 and above
Great video but where is 3...d5 for black after 3.c3? Kinda dangerous to accept the gambit
Loved you in arrested development
but for real this is the best danish breakdown ive seen.
You forgot to link to the paid and free courses ... Free Opening Lesson #1: www.chessable.com/andras-toth-free-opening-lesson-1/course/90529/ and full version Common Opening Traps and Blunders 1. e4: Part 1: www.chessable.com/common-opening-traps-and-blunders-1-e4-part-1/course/85452/

nice video. covered a lot of fun variations. i think the danish is garbage and get a lot of nice positions as black with 1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. c3 Qe7 unfortunately it wasn't mentioned .
at minute 5:06 you missed Qf4# in 1
najon jo
Pinerino....😂
could you do a similar analysis of the botez gambit?
I am so surprised that Nf6 is the proper way to go against Danish accepted! I've always thought that the two proper responses were A) don't accept after Bc4 B) Bb4+ was the proper attack, or even playing on the center with the d-pawn. Ty coach Andras!!! 😁
I first thought you were the angry video game nerd in makeup to look older. My bad.
You have excellent knowledge of chess! But slow down your teaching speed mister. Don't move the pieces around so quickly on the board so that we can time to learn what you are trying to teach us in this video.
