      @12jswilson 2 роки тому +4

      Don't play the Latvian Gambit. It's thoroughly refuted and even if it isn't, I think it's just easier for white to put the pressure on. I've never studied the refutation, but people play it against me in bullet games and somehow I end up taking all their pieces instead of them putting me under a ton of pressure. It's good if you're playing someone under 1000 that plays exf5, but if they don't, you just have a horrible position. The other day someone played it against me with 3... d6?? Horrible. I was +5 on move 4 and found the refutation over the board in a 1 minute game. Smith-Morra is great though. Not refuted and you get a lot of long-term pressure even if the opponent doesn't blunder early.

    I love playing this gambit, one potential you should be prepared for is black declining the blackmar gambit and transposing to a Caro Kann with c6. This is a really good option for black if you don't know this gambit and already play the CK.

    The Blackmar-Diemer never really appealed to me, but I kinda love the pressure you get with the Ryder Gambit. Should I ever try out 1.e4 (I've been thinking about that for quite a while), I'll definitively try it out. Stockfish really hates it, but I don't see my 1200-rated opponents finding the accurate moves. Thanks a lot, GM Finegold!

    Great idea! Ben. A series on gambits: the tricks and traps therein; it reminds me of a series of articles in "Chess" (Sutton Coldfield) concerning "theoretical novelties" (TN's); gambits and counter-gambits.
    I seem to recall: a gambit line in the exchange Slav; similar to the Winawer counter-gambit; more than one article on Rb1 in the Grunfeld (a popular opening, since in the world championship match Kasparov v Karpov it was played in about every game); but a gambit line in the Sicilian; well that article came to be very useful, for me.
    1.e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Be2!? Nf6 4. c3 Nc6 5. d4 cd 7 cd Ne4 8. d5 Qa5+ 9. Nc3 Nc3 10 bc Ne5 11. Ne5 Qc3+ 12. Bd2 Qe5 13. 0-0 ...
    That was the line I was prepared to play; two pawns down, possibly three; but my (3) opponents chose a quieter line on move 6. At move 10 I was told I could join the central club of the soviet socialist republics, one of the very few Scots to join, I suppose... so yes; a little theory can go a long way.
    I really like(d) this idea, also "guess the next move" (with points for prizes); puzzles and their Christmas quiz (brandy not included). I look forward to more gambits, for the club player; but could you also include the Grandmaster refutations as a few gambits are defunct (if you know one line).
    After 4. a3 in the Winawer French; 4...Ba5... the surprising move 5. b4 might just rule that line out completely.
    I played 4... cd against Vlastymil Hort (got a good game)... but that's another story...
    I do like your channel; Chess a great game; best wishes from the Wandering Dragons.

    I gave up on the Ryder gambit after looking at the Qg4 line, which doesn't score well. But if you think it's playable, even at the club level, then I may look in to it again. I've found lots of lines that score poorly overall, but actually score well if you know a couple critical moves. Maybe this is one of those.

    • @mentalrectangle

      Nah Ryder's garbage. I've noticed a lot of masters cynically give it more attention though, with the idea that "it's all crap anyway, so the theory for Nxf3 makes it not worth learning". As someone who knows a fair amount about this ecosystem... I believe only the Von Popiel (4.Bg5) and the Classical (5.Nxf3) are worth putting any effort into. The former has all the same theory-light benefits as the Ryder without being dead lost if Black defends well.

  • @DavidEmerling79

    At 5:56 you say that black should play 12...Rc8 as it is "considered the best move BY ME." I assume you emphasize this because you're aware that Stockfish thinks black should play 12...Bxd1, getting rid of that pesky white rook on the open d-file. In fact, 12...Rc8 isn't even the second best move in this position. Stockfish comes up with 12...Bxd1 (+5.86), 12...Rd8 (+8.51) and 12...Rc8 (+9.15). It seems to me it is worth it for black to give up his rook (on a8) for white's far-more-active rook in this position. This is based on analysis at a depth of 46, by the way. In any case, it all goes downhill for black after 6...Qb4?.
