    Fun anecdote: Gotham already said that this used to be known as the "Ponziani-Steinitz gambit", after grandmaster Wilhelm Steinitz. Apparently, Paul Morphy was once asked if he knew Steinitz, and he replied: "yes, I know Steinitz. His gambit is bad".

      The difference is that the Traxxler refuted is losing for black when the bishop takes pawn. In this gambit, when the bishop takes the pawn, it is a completely equal yet tricky position for the uninitiated. Therefore black has the advantage by the simple fact that white probably can’t find the best moves after surviving the opening

      increasing elo with traps is not really increasing elo... try to start playing normal position and the if you don't drop down you really increased elo

    • @Edamori
      @Edamori 2 роки тому +4

      I mean, you "increased" your elo in the same way I "increase" my height by wearing the right kind of boots. The moment the shoes come off your height goes right back down. This is a one-trick gambit that will net you a worse position almost every single game past 1500, it's even worse than the Stafford. At least with the Stafford there's various avenues of compensation and many, many traps, even in the lines that are good for White. With this all I need to know is that I play Bxf7, shove my d pawn down your throat as far as it can reasonably go, kick your knight out and castle and you have no play.
      If you're below 1500 and just want to have fun, go ahead - it doesn't make you magically worse at the game or anything. Just know that you will hit a hard plateau at a certain point where the problem isn't your skill level - it's your opening prep.

I played 92% accuracy against 75%, that someone being rated 1400 and 60 pts higher than me.

    This is somewhat similar to the corkscrew gambit. There's some big differences bit, depending on how things go down, queen to attack F3 is definitely something that can be useful. There's some pretty powerful things that can help if you get the knight to C6, but I do enjoy the corkscrew gambit lines that can happen. Getting a perfect line is hard, though, I've only gotten it once. But it was beautiful.

(she was 98, had outlived her husband of over sixty years and two of her daughters, so this wasn't tragic, She had done and said all she needed to say and do and moved on peacefully.) The tragedy is the spectacular assholery of of her youngest son and drunk-hillbilly side of the family.

    • @thorjelly
      @thorjelly 2 роки тому

      I've been trying to figure that out too.. basically it's a pawn sacrifice for tempo. You can check the king with Bh3+. If the king moves to f2, you can develop your other bishop with Bc5+. If the king moves to to e1 or e2, you can move your knight to d4 and then c2 to capture the other rook, or just move your rook to g8 now that you've developed a few pieces.

Wonderiing why/how its better to go Nf6 only if they play pawn to d3 and not d4? Since then you also deffend against white pawn to d5.

    Still pretty much a beginner and part of me feels like learning these kinds of gambits would be a crutch that will net me wins not because I outplayed them, but because they failed a chess knowledge check and got auto-blown off the board.
    But this particular gambit only works against people who are trying to do that very same thing to ME with the Fried Liver attack--and that's just really funny to me so I'm tempted to try to incorporate it.
