Snuffing the Stafford Gambit | Busting the Gambits with GM Naro
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- In this video - the first of a series - I offer a detailed analysis of the Stafford Gambit, an opening variation for Black that has become immensely popular in the last few months. I show how White can accept and keep the sacrificed pawn, rebuffing all of Black's attempts to create counterplay and keeping Black's possibility for tricks to a minimum.
- A summary of my proposed refutation can be found starting at 23:50.
- One of IM Eric Rosen's many fantastic videos on the Stafford, in which he carefully reviews many of Black's traps, can be found here: • The Trappiest Opening ...

oh no! my gambit!
It's okay, he'll never counter the legendary botez gambit
oh no :D
but you both did a great job in your videos, thanks)
Hahaha you deserve it, everyone is using it, nasty tricky gambit
hahahaha lmao! Best comment of the year!
Edit: Also "DAH"
Dah!
Shout out to all the GMs creating free, quality content for us mare mortals. I got back into chess because of the latest online chess renaissance and I'm loving it.
same here
@JL-XrtaMayoNoCheese Ok but it doesn't explain why a move is good or bad. Also some computer moves are only good or bad because of some super complicated line that no human would see
I wonder how much would content like this typically cost? I mean, a course on how to beat the Stafford Gambit of this quality.
>mare mortals
*neighs*
Could have clickbaited harder out of the title. "The video Eric Rosen DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE | Stafford Gambit REFUTED"
Stafford Gambit DESTROYED with facts and logic
You should freelance as a UA-cam Video Title Creator.
Levy would have done that title 🤭
@@detectivemarkseven more like "CRUSH eric rosen's STAFFORD GAMBIT with this opening."
Maybe Danya is just too classy and kind that he couldn't make clickbaits, even though everyone knows it's a joke
I mean he has to clarify like 3 times in the video
this is great on yt theres mostly how to play the gambits but rarely how to refute them
I think it’s more in the way of presenting the gambit. They’re like OH Play this you’ll win as white, but there’s always that “black makes best moves only” line in the video.
youre supposed to lose to them first before finding the best moves.
Yes I appreciate this
Change your pfp
And it was in this position that the Gambit resigned.
"And why did it resign, because there is nothing more to be done here"
Gelatinous Joe the position is simply lost, he may try this and this but after this we can see the white is completely winning
@@WoWManiak1696 captures captures captures
Eric Rosen is going to be mad at this one
oh no my gambit
queens gambit evans gambit and nakhmanson gambit are all sound openings.
I was kidding about the nakhmanson. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The most frustrating gambit its when the opponent sacrifices his kingside knight in the kings gambit.
Ah well, there's always the trusty old botez gambit, impossible to refute!
This was literally the first thing that came to mind when I saw this video
Jokes on you this made my stafford game stronger
It still loses
@@geckogeico2212 not right now it doesn't, now maybe after more people watch this video it will, but I still win most times I get a stafford
yeah you tell him in fact you should beat him with it
@@bjordsvennson2726 rating?
@@bjordsvennson2726 FFS I mean in general
Good bye Stafford ..it was great playing you. pepehands..
PS: my Stafford stats as black
325 wins 176 losses 18 draws
winning with the stafford says more about your opponents than about you
@@owencrawford5984 to be fair first time people have against gambits are pretty strange for them and they just instinctively capture when they think something is hanging
u draw????
@@owencrawford5984 I've beaten people rated 2100 with the Stafford lol it's a bit dubious but it's not objectively bad
@@Hsel-lc1wt it's not objectively bad? it's objectively lost lmao
ah yes, gambits. When you give up some material in exchange for a losing position.
how could you say something so brave yet so controversial
I wouldn’t agree tho.gambits have a psychological effect on your opponent,and are really tricky to play against especially in shorter time formats.I guess it depends on how you want to look at it
Evan's, Morra, Scotch, Queen's and Panov transfer accepted: are we a joke to you?
@@leonardohelveciodeoliveira5233 Evans' Gambit too. According to stockfish at depth 40, it's only -0.2
when you can defend like a computer, yes.
This series is going to ruin my entire repertoire 😭
Good stuff though. Hope to see a video on the Danish gambit, I always get crushed by that
it's a great time to learn something new Kappa
Just do like me and if you use a gambit, use the duras gambit 2. Kf7, you'll never see a gm making a video refuting it
Eric Rosen has a good video on playing vs the Danish, you should check it out
as someone who used to play the Danish, my recommendation is to not take that final pawn that lets him fianchetto the bishop. It just gives white too much initiative and its super tough to play against in blitz. Sincerely, a 1500 player
Just never take the second pawn!
The Petrov is like that calm introverted kid from school that everyone respects and sometimes bully.
Until you go to his home and see all of his guns and realize this guy got some nasty weapons.
I'm dying🤣🤣🤣
I loved this! :)😊
Some nasty discoveries
The level of free chess instructional content on UA-cam just keeps on getting better. Thank you so much.
Out of all the chess streamers/content creators I think Daniel is the one with the most love for chess still. A lot of the others seem like they’re kind of burnt out at times, but Daniel always seems excited and motivated to learn more and dissect the game. It’s very inspiring to watch someone that’s this dedicated to their profession. Love the content man look forward to seeing more of your streams! Edit: Also appreciate the shoutout to Matt Stafford lol one of the few players Detroit sports fans have to root for
"Completely winning is an overstatement,so let's say that basically objectively winning" - GM Naro,2020
Your explanation of this series was very well said. 10/10 Eric Rosens
Petion for Eric Rosen & you to play the Stafford gambit games
I love Eric but Danya would absolutely crush him in anything slower than 1|0 bullet if he played stafford. There's a reason almost nobody but him plays it at that level lol
Returning to this video 4 years after I first watched it. Somehow I still remember all the prep, and, because of that, I have not lost a single game to the Stafford Gambit since this video's release.
Thank you so much for the opening lab series! It is genuinely a treasure. As are you!
Thanks GM Daniel for this video. Looking fwd to more videos. I don’t think anyone takes your videos personal, so no need to apologize to anyone or clarify.
Now it all makes sense. Can recall a period where nearly all my online games as white were against the Petrov (including a stretch of 20+), but at the time was looking to try out 4 Knights Scotch lines so avoided the Stafford gambit unintentionally. Terrific content as usual!
I played against a Stafford right after seeing this video, and after c3 my opponent was just stumped and ended up sacking a night two moves later. In the end It was a fun game where I never had to worry about tricks in the opening that my opponent knew by heart. Thanks a lot!
I remember you talking about this series on twitch, excited for more episodes :D
Thanks for actually explaining the whole line(s) of the Stafford, this content is really well made.
I can't believe how deep your voice has gotten since this video! but even so, very instructive video.
It's crazy how much better of a speaker you've become In front of camera in the 5 months since this video
Hey Daniel, we can't wait for the next one on refuting aggressive gambits!
The tl;dr consolidation at the end was an excellent addition to the content of the video once the full explanation had been given. Liked the format, very useful content.
Just checking in on this video after a year to say this repertoire is great. Since studying this video I'm frequently completely winning right out of the opening against stafford players, and it usually feels like my opponent has sacked a pawn to give ME positional compensation and a time advantage. It's gotten to the point where I have a Pavlovian-mouth-watering reaction when my opponent plays 3. Nc6, thanks for the many free wins.
This is the most comprehensive analysis of the Stafford (from White's perspective) I have seen. Great job! Well explained.
Ur doing gods work Danya. Hate this freakin gambit almost as much as the london at point 😂
Everybody gangsta till naro refutes the queen's gambit
Please never stop making videos man I love your content so much
Thank you so much for this instructive video and I hope you make many more like it. I watched every coaching stream during Pogchamps because I can't afford professional coaching but felt like you were speaking directly to me since I'm a beginner just like the players in the tournament. Looking forward to your future videos!
Vampire chicken laughing in the background in beating stockfish with Stafford "magical" line
Man this is crazy, only 21k views! it should have much more than that, stafford been so popular in past months you would think people would love to see such a solid refute of it
The agadmator impressions 😂
Busting gambits is a great idea for a series.
Excited for this series. I keep running into gambits I don’t know how to deal with.
I just decline them
Fuzzy Llama but if you know how to refute a gambit after accepting it you are at a 1 or 2 pawn advantage.
9:02 that agadmator impression needs work 😂
Big work. Not even close and almost comes across as mocking him that is so bad lol
@@magnafire1 I agree. Just wanted to set the record straight: I love Agad and I've expressed my respect for him many times on my stream. Just having some fun :)
@@magnafire1 nah he gets the words he's saying right, it's just the accent and tone need more Antonio and less daniel
It’s for those of you who want to enjoy the show not go along with the ride lol
I hear you Daniel. I'm not always right, but I'm pretty good at picking up at things and it just seemed like I sensed some jealousy because of his huge fan base that you had to do his accent and impression purposely that bad, but you cleared it up and there is no need for me to stick up for how I thought you were trying to come across by putting Agad down. But you guys are cool with each other so that's that.
Awesome content as always Daniel!!!!! I just watched this video and one of my very next games was against the Stafford Gambit. I ended up absolutely CRUSHING him and even trapped his queen! 99.7% accuracy! I was so stoked, never had a better feeling in chess. Although my opponent clearly didn't quite understand the tactics behind this tricky gambit, it was so satisfying being able to simply dismantle his every move. The Stafford gambit always seemed easy for me to defend against, but lately people my skill level have been truly studying up on it, so I finally got tired and looked up the vid. Onto Eric Rosen's many videos on the gambit :) Thanks again Daniel!!!
Eric Rosen, my spirit animal, in shambles.
"The next time you play Matthew Stafford, he's going to throw an interception on 1st-and-10 on the first play of the game." Hilarious! Great football analogy!
"You can find all of this over the board"....... exactly the thing that is keeping me from going a point over 800
My favourite chess teacher of all time,
I kniw there are resources that have already done that, but would really love lessons on the general most popular openings just because I tend to lose track if it's not by my favourite russian chess grand master Naroditsky
Wait..Russian?
As a lover of both your and Eric Rosen's streams and youtube content, this was awesome. You're both awesome.
Otherwise, don't fear the Stafford Gambit; do fear Matthew Stafford!
Matthew Stafford is definitely not to be feared lol
Well I guess I'm not allowed to play my favorite gambit anymore.
Thanks Daniel :(
Still a good and practical video however. I'm a fan.
Thank you so much for this video, I was pummeled earlier today by the stafford, after using your suggestions I just won very convincingly
Thanks so much for this. At my range, most Stafford players have no idea what to do after Be2. They sac knights, rooks and whatnot with no counterplay whatsoever.
You should make a long, in depth analysis of the refutation of the Bongcloud, and then follow it up with a live session of you losing to Hikaru's Bongcloud
Your comment is very disrespectful. If you get into a middlegame with better position, then it because you refuted the opening. Again, opening has nothing to do with getting outplayed it the middle or endgame despite being better after the opening. Daniel will have better position after the opening against Hikaru's bongcloud - this what matters, he can claim he refuted the bongcloud.
@@mrcaptain3405 you do realize this comment is more of a light hearted joke than anything right?
Danya would beat hikaru in a Bongcloud game for sure. In a slow game easily, in a blitz game 80%+ chance for danya. Even Hikaru knows it..
Go with the Bobby Fischer Sashay that has the king moving 8 squares, 6 of them in front of the pawns in the opening.
the stafford gambit is definitely a scary opening that you should respect and you can’t expect to win against black if you don’t know the correct theory, thanks for this video
"BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. Now it's very important not to get too cocky..."
17:07 we were all so young and innocent before the conception of the magical variation with Qh4 after d4
Thank you so much for this! After watching and trying out, at least at my (pathetic) level of play, I can completely counter this gambit. You can tell that the opponents are super-frustrated and blunder away.
Thanks for sharing this, it helped me win 3 stafford gambit games with white already!
RIP Stafford Gambit . We will miss you😭🥺
Daniel may just be my favorite person on UA-cam
I love this video, thanks Danya! It has directly led to quite a few victories now I must say. People that probably would have beaten me getting utterly demolished lol.
Matt Stafford and the Rams are now in the Super Bowl!
Thankyou gm naro for video sttaford gambit for white..
Can’t wait for more episodes!
what a great video, including repetition for us to learn. Thank you!
The only thing that would make these better would be if you put the PGN in the description! Thanks Danya, you're a beast.
thank you Daniel, really appreciated, i've been getting slapped up by this gambit lately, hopefully at my lowly level this saves me a few more games :)
I just lost to Stafford gambit so i searched how to destroy Stafford gambit and now i am here.
thanks for the great video
wow, thanks a lot Danya!!
love this gambit with it's traps but didnt know much theory about it :)
Awesome video and great idea for a series, looking forward to seeing more!
How are titled players still falling for the Stafford-Rosen Gambit at this point 😂
Love how vicious it is, and love all these refutation vids too! Keep up all the great works you titled chess players you!!! 😁👍
I was proud that I just beat my opponent who tried the Stafford against me, I knew I was playing against the Stafford but I didn't know the theory. I was pleased after the game to see my first several moves were the best, until I blundered Bg5, and I saw Nxe4 Bxf2+ but I didn't see the Bg5# at the end so I thought it was unsound. I guess my opponent saw what I did too, and didn't go for it. Now I know. Thanks
I am undefeated against the Stanford since I watched your video. That moment when your opponent realizes that you play Be2 and c3 ...
You're a good dude Daniel.
I've been waiting for something like this. Thanks!
its cool how you can tell he really enjoys teaching people chess and how he really cares about the game
ITS THE HAFU VARIATION!!!
please please please do the fried liver next! it’s a staple of low level blitz and i need to know how to refute it! love the videos and stream
you don't go into it. you go e4 e5 nf3 nc6 bc4 and bc5. If you play nf6 instead of bc5, you will get fried livered.
@@greengoblin9567 or you can go for the nf6 ng5 d5 exd5 na5 line, very sound and gives black great counterplay for the price of only 1 weak pawn
@@greengoblin9567 if you play 3. Bc5 you get Jeromed instead 🤣
Lucas Scott learn the traxler counter attack, really good opening against the fried liver attack
Traxler attack brother, hard counter to the fried liver attack
Thank you for this Daniel, much appreciated.
recently watched this again and 9:02 was spot on lmfaoo
19:50 unbeatable pawn cube boiz
The irony here is at 17:05 (7...Ng4 8. d4) you will now fall into the newest Stafford line (8...Qh4 9. g6 Qf6) which stockfish overestimates by a huge margin. You need Lc0 or similar to get a true measure with some lines where you need to play only moves.
Stafford keeps evolving, they can't keep up :D
I hope he looks into Jonathan Schrantz Stafford 'Magic' line
I can't wait for Evans gambit!
I would love to see one against the Nakhmanson gambit! Congrats for the video, it was a wonderful explanation!!
that one's simple, you just decline the gambit and take the knight with your knight then you're good
Great stuff, Danya.Your videos are
very helpful
He is such a good teacher, he needs much better clickbait/ marketing and he would be huge
Great video, right after I watched this I smashed a Stafford player into the pavement. I wish you made more of these.
Brilliant refutation and video. Thanks!
The One dislike was from Eric Rosen. The feud is ON!!! May the best man win.
eric is too nice for that
Excellent video Danya!
Where did the rest of this series go? One year and I'm still awaiting the next one :-)
LOL... I love how the TL;DR is at the END of the video.... sheesh Danya! ;)
"After this black has no play😊"
*my botez gambit and king sacrifice*
"Bonjour👋😊"
thanks daniel, you have calmed my nerves really
This comment may never reach you, but with the recent Eric Rosen Plea for Fabi to play the Stafford Gambit, he covers towards the end of his video of a line that Jonathan Schrantz found where this ridiculous tricky move that even stockfish has difficulty understanding. 17:05 7...Ng4 8.d4, Qg4
Thank you so much! I always never know what to do against the stafford!
Nervously awaiting Danya's dismantling of my own favorite gambit.
He’s really good for being one of Charlie’s students
God this meme is getting really dead now 🤣
this is excellent, daniel. instant subscribe
1900 gang here. At least some useful content!! Now I realise I face this gambit quite a lot, I always win with the c3 but daamn, I have no idea this was a thing...
He or eric would shred you so fast even with the c3 idea. These guys are on another level. We are small fishes.
Eric Rosen calmly punching the air right now.
Just what the doctor ordered. I've faced this monstrosity three times today already.
As a Dutch defense player I thought the title said Staunton gambit refutation.
We hope
I hope you'll teach us how to refute the infamous Botez gambit. Gets me every game 😔😔😔
Halosar Trap. There you are suppose to lose your queen if the correct moves by black are made.
