Loved the Donkey gambit! As a 1200 player I'm always excited new openings to have fun and blunder with. Getting that occasional 10 move mate makes it all worth it.
@@GothamChess I recently started playing and I am around 800 I usually go for quick checkmates but end up being quickly checkmated. Your videos really help your explanation of chess is amazing thank you for this content.
Seeing the evolution of Levy's channel from 5k subs to now almost 100k with the great camera quality and all, really makes me happy. You deserve it man
Me watching this video: "Definitely going to try these openings" Me actually playing a game of chess: Forgets everything and hangs my queen in 5 moves...brilliant 🤦
21:30 For the Englund Gambit, after white plays knight to c3, one last trick you can try is Nc4. So many times white plays Rb1, attacking my queen, then you go Nxc2 (check). Their only move is to recapture with their queen and you can take the queen after that
Not a joke, @@Zachariahr3p Check out the database on Lichess; even at Master level, black is winning more games than white, out of 265 games in this line! (Unless you're laughing at white's c4 move, wanting to hold on to an extra pawn. Best is to do what Levy said, not bothering whether black takes back the pawn on d5.)
I am particularly a fan of the polar bear gambit. You intentionally sacrifice every other pawn so each pawn is isolated like an "iceberg". You then use your knights or "polar bears" to navigate more freely from pawn island to pawn island or from "iceberg" to "iceberg". Has some great play and I bet the grandmasters would be stumped.
YES Levy, please make a dedicated Vienna video! I've started playing it after watching your videos, but I often find myself in positions where I don't know what I'm doing. Thanks :)
Wait omg this is a great comprehensive guide to a tonnn of gambits for white and black. I’ve been kind of nervous to try some of these, maybe now I’ll implement one or two in my games
The Fritz-Ulvestad is a surprisingly interesting line in the Two Knights Italian for Black. White is objectively better and just up a pawn but needs to know around 18-19 moves of theory in the mainline and there are numerous tricky variations and traps that even some computers don't see until you increase their depth.
Please do a gambit tier list stream with Hikaru and Eric rosen, that would be one of the best streams, make the rating like 1400 maybe, bc of course most gambits are bad at the gm level, but at around 1400-1600 not too many people know theory
Just discovered your teaching, and love your content, humor and thorough explanations. Was compelled to just buy a course and will almost definitely be getting more. Thanks for your hard work!
Hey Levy, just wanted to tell you I appreciate the content, have been watching and playing for nearly a year pushing 1400 rating thanks to your instructional videos :)
Donkey. Elephant. Excellent overview of opening gambits and traps. This is so much more helpful as an index than having to wade through 40 hours of other videos.
In the Giuoco Piano, besides for the Jerome Gambit and the Evans Gambit, there's also the Greco Gambit. There's also something called the Haxo Gambit, but I don't know it. Also, in the Two Knights Defense, there's the Max Lange Attack. In the Scotch, there's also the Goring Gambit.
20:46, I had them go QC3 and then I moved the Bishop to B4 and after they lost their Queen they resigned, and I won. I was able to do the gambit on the same day. I also want to do the one with black where I fight off the Scottish with the Knight. I love it when my Marijuana induced mush brain can remember this stuff!!! THANKS LEVY!! YOU RULE!!!!!
Good way to go up in rating points is learning how to refute gambits. I went to 2000 to 2200 from doing this. (I'm back at 2000 from insanely blinding tilt) I love playing against the d4 d5 exd5 Nf6 d4 Bg4 gambit! f3 g4 and take the win
Hey Donkey, elephant here. This was an awesome reference video to get inspiration. Those who can follow this and enjoy this type of content are perfectly able to do their own more in depth research on the gambits that spark their interest. Adding this to favorites!
Please do a Damiano Gambit... or even the different types of Damiano variations. Pretty much my favourite lines ever. They don't occur too often but if they do you are pretty much guaranteed one hell of an advantage! EDIT: My favourite animal is not a donkey... but the mighty wolf! I wish there was a Wolf Opening or Gambit :D
19:32 There is also the Ross gambit in the Panov Transfer lines. It goes e4 d5, exd5 Nf6, c4 c6, dxc6 e5 and then if cxb7 Bxb7. It is the ultimate reversed Danish if I am not mistaken and it sounds like food.
Hello Levy! I just wanted to thank you for your content. I was a 550 starting to play chess when I found your channel. Now I'm at 1226. I don't learn well from these instructional videos (although I do watch them). I much prefer you playing in the field, as at my low rating I find it much more useful to see how you respond to moves which are not...ideal.
My totem/favorite animal [the Lion] and I would love to see you challenge Kingscrusher! I watch his Banter Blitz show every Sunday. Great progression, Levi; I'm excited for your success!
@@beri4138 you don't have an effing clue, just compare Morphy's score against Anderssen and Steinitz' score against Anderssen and stop talking gibberish.
9:03 since this is in every chess video this month: the T in "Ortho" is hard. its not your usual english TH, just ignore the H please. its the "ORTO-Schnapp-Gambit" if you like.
dude you are the best, after watching your video on danger levels, i jumped from a 700 to 1000+ in one day and it is still going up, what i like most in your videos is you tend to teach us how to connect the pieces or how to use them in theory, so i undertand how i am supposed to think, keep up the great work
Levi, 2 months ago i found this channel and you got me into chess, and now i'm getting better at chess beacuse of you, so if you ever see this, thank you for teaching me the beautiful game known as chess!
Brilliant!. As a "beginner", knowing no opening gambits (other than take the centre as soon and best as possible), this smorgas-bord saves me time wasting months learning the boring openings, that I wouldnt otherwise want to choose. It inspires me to learn more! You are the master! Thanks. It was riveting, all the way through (Donkey). Schaun.
I find these gambits from UA-cam videos and my games (hope they help): White's gambit with e4: In KGA, there's Bishop's Gambit (3.Bc4 instead of 3.Nf3), Double Muzio Gambit, Quade Gambit, Kieseritzky Gambit, Allgaier Gambit, Rice Gambit, Rosentreter Gambit In Four Knight's Game, we have Halloween Gambit In Italian Game, we have Rosentreter Gambit, Albin Gambit, Deutz Gambit, Nakhmanson Gambit, Fried Liver Attack (although it is named as an attack, it is still a gambit) In Bishop's Opening, we have Lewis Gambit, Ponziani Gambit, Urusov Gambit In Petrov's Defence, we have Cochrane Gambit In French Defence, we have Milner-Barry Gambit Black's gambit against e4: Against King's Gambit, we have Nimzowitsch-Marshall Countergambit Against Ruy Lopez, we have Jaenisch Gambit, Marshall Attack (the concept is the same as a gambit) In Nimzowitsch Defence, we have Colorado Countergambit In Scandinavian Defence, we have Icelandic/Icelandic-Palme Gambit, Panov Transfer Variation where 3...c6 is played instead of 3...e6 (Icelandic Gambit) In Owen Defence, we have Matovinsky Gambit Since I am an e4 player, I do not meet and try many gambits in white's other reply: White's gambit with d4: Geller Gambit Black's gambit against d4: From KGD, we have Sämisch Gambit There are still many more gambits to go, it would be helpful if others can point them out.
30 minutes ago I didn't even know that these many gambits exist... and there are more! Definitely gonna try some of these in my games. Really cool video.
As a French player I haven't seen the gambits against the French you show here but I have faced the Alapin Gambit (1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Be3) occasionally.
honestly your chess teaching videos are super great. if you will teach like this good continuously on your channel, then your channel will grow a lot more faster and bigger. so please make a lot of videos on chess tips and teach us more on some topics like openings, strategic chess and other topics. pls they are very helpful.
Obviously made it to the end like always. Favorite Animal Pegion (because I had a folk of them). By the way, 12:38 you missed the crazy Nakhmanson Gambit with e4... :eyes: **(Later I saw you put it in comments... xD and yeah urusov) thanks to Jonathan Schrantz both Nakhmanson and Orthosnnap got popular xD...
One of my favorites of yours. And today I just noticed for the first time 'Hamlet Chimp'. ["Let me see. (takes the skull) Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath borne me on his back a thousand times, and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it.]
Oh no, you missed the Icelandic-Palme gambit for black in the Scandinavian! It's my all time favourite - pretty similar to the Portuguese but 3...e6 instead of c6
20:32 I actually play into this with white, after Qb4 play Nc3!! And everyone will take on f4, after which Nd5 is just insanely strong for white, black is unable to defend c7 and save the queen, also black has no funny checks and stuff
FEEDBACK: Firstly, thank you kindly for the wonderful content. Your videos are very entertaining and very interesting. 2nd... (and this has nothing to do with gambits)--the camera situation is VASTLY better than before. If I may be so bold in suggesting that perhaps you might want to consider putting a few light sources behind you that are dim (preferably warm white or colored).. you can dim the main room light and this way, you will "pop" whilst the background goes a pleasant "fuzz" with some visual interest. You have a little bookshelf system behind you... you can do something with that space and make it more visually pleasing with some interesting objects perhaps... a little bookshelf light would be nice there too. They key is proper lighting IN FRONT of you to create facial highlights with a darker background allowing the presenter to shine (you!) Thanks again! I love watching the evolution of your content and career!
Thank you for videos like this. With all the different types of gambits out there, it's nice to have an expert point out which ones are more theoretically sound and usable, and which ones are more gimmicky and unreliable. (Saves me what would otherwise be wasted time studying unsound opening lines). - - - (Also, shark I guess (if we're talking sea life or marine animals, and tiger if we're talking land animals))
Usually I end up gambiting my Queen by move 5, and King by move 10.
Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣 good one bro👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏👏
Ahh the botez gambit very popular
Hahaha, I've never heard that before
so unoriginal
It's better to trade kings and get a draw ;)
