    I have been playing the BDG for over 35 years with excellent results. I think it benefits from a reputation of being "unsound" so few people understand it. Great to see a new wrinkle. You did not mention what happens after Black defends the bishop with Qc8.

    • @justanotheryoutubechannel3102
      @justanotheryoutubechannel3102 Рік тому +1

      the whole "gambits are unsound" mantra is a grandmaster LIE! they are only unsound against grandmasters! If you look at major gambits like the BDG, smith morra, french wing & alapin DIEMER (cough cough), and king's gambit etc., you'll see that they commonly perform at 8% STRONGER to START at ratings under 2000, but if you dig into the theory, you find lines like the ice queen that obliterate AMATEURS!!! in fact, king's gambit starts out 52% wins to 44% losses after 1.e4 e5 2.f4 with Gary Fisher's "refutation" 2...d6 scoring 53% to 43% for a full 10% edge! the way to beat the gambit is to COUNTERGAMBIT!!! 2...d5, the falkbeer counter gambit, scores 47% to 50% for a 3% edge to black and is the STRONGEST reply by 1% PERIOD! gambits kick butt at the amateur level! gambits aren't unsound, at the amateur level, they literally decimate!
      When I first started playing the smith morra, my win rate against the sicilian was something like 10% in grand prix, advance and wing gambit, but i instantly jumped to something like 90% in the morra, and my rating in just that, starting with the rating from my 1st game was something like 250 points higher than my actual rating! I'm doing terrible now, but I haven't played in a decade and have forgotten everything and theory has evolved. i see a lot of crazy new stuff nowadays and NO-ONE allows the scandinavian gambit anymore. everyone's figured out the pavnov transfer, but that's OK, the icelandic kicks butt.
      point is, don't let anyone perpetuate the gambit hate! go to lichess and show them gambit stats under 2000. trolls will argue that the numbers aren't the numbers, but such is confirmation bias. i've played maybe half a dozen 2000+ players, so wishy washy GM theory is irrelevant to me. besides, 2000 rated players book up, so I'm playing book theory as it trickles down to amateurs anyways. a +3 points edge is +3 points no matter how high an opponent's rated!

      at the amateur level, you can PREDICT the blunders that are common and build theory to exploit it. I just got into an argument in a thread where I posted theory for a line where black gets he queen x-rayed against almost EVERYTHING he does with the ONLY equalizing line being played something like 5% of the time. some hater proudly stated some move "refutes the theory" (it takes more than a single move!!!) yet in something like 15k games, it's only been played 6 times. OOOOOOOOOH I'm SO SCARED of that's so rare the chances of a pig falling on my head when I step out the door are higher! LOL
      besides, as a position stupid pure kamikaze, i live for double edged, even "unsound" positions. I'm still 100% in the "unsound 50:50 stat krejcik alekhine" and agsinst the falkbeer counter gambit, which is black's strongest performing reply against king's gambit (ANOTHER gambit... GO FIGURE!), I tend to destroy my opponents WITHOUT BOOK because I'm better at tactics than them.
      it's quiet positional positions that destroy me... don't get me started on gambit hating french cowards1

    Heres an idea: Chess with four colours. Two players. Black can only attack white and v.v. And let's say red can only attack blue and v.v. Bcoz sometimes in chess you set up two different batteries. But in this version you are guaranteed to do so. (I still have to figure out the king and queen, if there are two, rainbowcoloured. Or four.)

    Once I decided to prepare this gambit for one of my students against a 2100 rated player but I gave up this idea. Let's critically review Jonathan's variations and see:
    3:45 - Black has the simple move Qg4, exchanges the queens and gets an advntage on move 6. Not what you would like playing White.
    5:08 - a lot of unnecessary variatons. White doesn't have to take on f3, there are several good options, the best of which seems Nbd7 in order not to give the "e4" pawn away.
    8:08 - these variations are OK, but the move 8...Rb8 is the strongest. He just mentions it without analyzing. His final conclusion seems to be correct - the position is not easy for Black. The engine says +/= but practically it is not easy to defend such position. However, as stated before there is no need for Black to take on e4.
    11:20 - this one is quite tricky. Again, his variations are OK, but not forced. After 5. Be2 the correct way to play is to retreat 5...Bf5 showing White his bishop on e2 is misplaced. And if 6. f3 we again play Nbd7 with the same idea from 5:08.
    Finally, there are several other moves besides Bf5/Bg4 that give Black an OK game. Maybe the most logical of them is 4...c6.
    So - is this gambit playable? Maybe the answer hides in firstly - the odds of Black falling in one of your traps, secondly - how difficult is actually for Black to prepare for this opening and finally - how difficult it will be for Black to find the correct moves if he has no preparation for this gambit. This, of course, depends on his chess level. In my opinion, this gambit could work on a level up to 1400-1500. Above that level, players have enouogh experience to avoid getting into dangerous, forced variations they are not prepared for.

    Ryder is a bit too risky to my taste although I have also played it. Yet I feel it is easier to defend against and you can easier get into trouble, wheras the normal knight variation is more solid and often you can advance your pawns for an attack against the king. Defintitely should try the van Popil 😃

    Thanks great opening that I like to play for white, played it for years. Fav Gambit= Latvian clam gambit with black. Surprising amount of wins with it, say in blitz. Of course losses with it too. I named it zombie variation because lots of the black pieces start chasing the white Queen around if white is not careful. And scary to play.

    RoLettuce correctly notes that Black can sidestep with a French or Caro-Kann. (And add the KP Nimzo: 1 e4 Nc6). More annoying still is that Black can do this once White is committed to Nc3 lines. Advance Variations (3. e5) are thus avoided.

    Instead of bb4 pinning, in my rating category 1350-1450, Nb4 is stronger due to nxc7+! Queen has to take and lose the Queen if Rook attacked Queen and if Rc8, bf4 is hard to deal with, especially in the Ryder Gambit without von popiel Bishop g5. Good Luck. Blunders galore by black if they don't know it which is very common since many avoid the BDR Gambit. Good Luck!

    Coincidentally, someone just played the BD gambit against me this morning. About 5 hours before this video came out.
    This vid might have helped them, though I still think I'd've beat them anyway.
    After my early ...Bf5, they played f3 and Nxf3, but then they wasted time with h3&g4, where this vid would have helped them by offering some faster options.
    Pro tip: don't try h3&g4. It's not losing, but way too slow to be winning.
    Also - if Qxf3, I would have done ...Qc8 and (eventually) …c6. Schrantz didn't cover that option. Too bad, might be instructive.
