Fun drinking game: every time he says the word "dubious," take a drink.
Loomtoomslag my hangover has only just cleared

Ya dig?
This game we not funn you bithc
Now watching the video became fucking weird for me. Thanks.
Guh-uh, wha? no, im nat drunk!
Love the opening. I feel like almost all of these videos, which I have been watching a lot of in recent weeks, talk more about what black might do instead of speaking more about the strategy, goals, and how you want to most effectively use white's pieces that fits the strategy.
When you figure out a new word and keep using it dubiously.
Thanks for the video, AND for those suspicious flowers! The man, who put them in front of the camera is my hero now!
Jonathan is the best. I would attent your lectures live a lot!
So like I was dubiously watching this dubious video that focused on dubious gambits, when suddenly this dubious guy tells me not to dubiously make dubious mistakes in this dubious opening.
Brian Sheldon yo dawg, I heard you like to be dubious. So I put some dubious in your dubiousness, so you can be dubious while you're dubious.
hahahaha great comment
Finally King's Gambit! Thanks for this!
thanks a bunch, man. i am still just learning. your lectures are really brilliant. cheers
Excellent commentary with thoughtful explanations. THANK YOU!😇
I love the way you explained this opening & using an example on an actual games from top players/Grandmaster’s. It is easy to understand & i like that this very interactive as well, by asking, “ok pause the clock” lol. And you said, pause the video & what would you do in this position? Loving this already, and this is just the part 1. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & it is FREE on UA-cam 😅
Love this series. I think we need three more lectures on the KG.
Thanks ...I like your subtle sense of humour...nice work!
Very good class. Excellent speaker. Thank you.
Good vid. Thanks for covering the King's Gambit. If it's good enough for Hikaru in Blitz, it's good enough for me in Blitz.
This opening works well against club level players and some masters, I understand it leads to a lot of complications but only grandmasters can thrive in those complications, the rest of us mortals can't really do that
Loved this video. The Traxler Counterattack is another similar opening sacrifice which leads to highly complicated and exciting positions. Any chance we could ever see that in the future? :)
I agree
Thanks for your video and time. We need to get you a more diverse vocabulary...dubious was used more often then any word...also if you are going to be referring to chess notation this often, labeling the square by row and file on the outside of the board would really have helped a lot.
J Schrantz is and will always be the personfor me, who's afraid of the world outside his
comfortzone - teaching or playing chess! The world is scary outside! May be that's why he is so good!
Thank you Jonathan
I'm sure I came across a refutation of the Double Muzio somewhere once, but that it was a forced win for white against Queen Knight odds! So white is 3 pieces down but gains a tempo with an eventual Rad1. Amazing.
best chuckle in the world award goes to you
I am pretty new to chess, like around 8 months now. I have always found the aggressive games more exciting (Eric Rosen being a favorite of mine with his excessive use of the word *Gambit*) and I have watched Morphy games a bit to try and understand how good of a player he was (and as GM Finegold would say - how not good I am). I am ashamed every time I don't instantly remember a game at mention of the players though. The Morphy game shown has a great ending and when I saw the tactical Re8+ I face palmed pretty hard and immediately knew the line/lines. This is gunna take a while to get good at huh? xD
@7:48 after Kc6, why not next move is c4 instead of Qd5?
awesome vid
The king's gambit seems very fun, im gonna give it a try.
watching this serię for like the 5th time... learning stuff from it still
Nice one 👍👍👏👏👏
Could we see Danish gambit next? I think it's a really interesting opening with a lot of potential, but I don't have the experience to analyze it as well as you could.
+1
+1
At 26:10, does Bg5 not also work? If Nf6, Bxf6, then Qxf6 and Qxf6 again, and if Kd8, then Qf8+, so Bxf8, but then Rf8# is mate right?
I'd love to see an analysis of the Bird's Defence in response to the Spanish Opening.
At 18:23 i thing queen to d3 is mate....I mean I may be wrong....but I just dont understand it
9:53 Black doesn't have to defend f7 at all. Nf6 is a good line but Nc6 is probably the best move. If you're analyzing it with an engine like he seems to be doing that's one where you have to let the engine sit for or very long time to realize White can't then take on f7 with the Knight or like stuff like Bc5 follows Qe2 to prevent mate and then Black's g3 and if White takes the rook Black's Bf2, Nf6, d5, Bg4 etc... you'd have to be an engine to avoid losing a miniature. Black has more than enough compensation for the exchange.
Helpful!!really.
19:30 why not move knight to f2 rather than f4?
Outro and intro song name pls
also do you always put knight centre
Mr Attack and Mr Gambit, very good
No name, very suspicious
YES!
+Majora1988
Thank you so much for indulging my suspicious opening, Jon, I really appreciate the 2(!) episodes on the King's Gambit. You are the best!
I am an avid KG player and I think that the hardest for me is after 1.e4 e5 2. f4 Bc5
27:45 i would even take the bishop with check and force the queen to e8. Than its even more beautiful
What software did you use for this chess analysis?
Question having nothing to do with the King's Gambit... We're the flowers moved to block the Dell logo on the laptop from the camera's view!? Really!?
because it isn't a product placement..
No, playing chess is an intellectual art form that requires beautiful flowers for support and artistic AFFECT.💐🍁⚘🌹😇
Can we play kings gambit with black peaces
At 24:29 shouldn’t black grab the G2 pawn and the rook?
thx
"dubious" count = 12
Also, not a chess single video on youtube shows how to best respond when a bishop is used to pin a knight with a King on the other side and the bishop is challenged and pushed back by those nearby pawns. Apparently nobody does at the higher levels, because it happens to me every time I use it and I'm forced to either rush the knight and trade pieces or have my pawn pushed back and out of the lane it was originally in.
i was told by my teacher that advancing those pawns to attack the bishop and break the pin is a mistake as pushing those pawns out weakens the position. so if the other player does that just let them, they are making their position worse
That position has been addressed many times in older videos... if black pawn to a6, maintain pin by bishop to a4, then if pawn to b5, bishop to b3 and now you are putting pressure on f7 and can dev from there.
What does he think dubious means?
Liked n subscribed
In 26:30, why you can't simply capture the Bishop with the pawn or the queen?
You can, but it doesn't really matter as it still doesn't stop checkmate
Scotch Game: Classical variation
with interesting move 4... Bc5 5. Nf5!?
omg 1988?
What happens when rook g1? At 14.40.
Yay! My favourite opening :-)
Excatly what a Fägerström would say
Excatly!
Fantastic alternative to the Queen's Gambit for quick development of white's pieces. Both openings invite early skirmishes and battles for control of the center.😇
But I must admit,The Vienna Gambit variation seems to be a straight up improvement of the King's gambit to my untrained eye - To bad he didn't mention it, even in passing.
You are awesome
Tennison gambit?
14:12 I thought c5, but then thought that if I want to play c5 I should play knight a6 first. I guess I would have blundered the position.
His beard is so awsome.
My chess engine at 10:15 is suggesting NC6 for black opposed to NH6.
has the London System been explained already? if no then please do a video on it
That was wawesome
35:32 lol :-)) Same as in Go, where tengen is always wrong :-)
cool !
colle system and colle-zukertort
Show Morphy games with the Kings Gambit
26:45 why not pawn takes white bishop
That NN fella better start studying the King's Gambit
@37:12 isn't Queen to D6 mate?
Do you mean Qe6+? Then …Kd8.
why not urusov gambit explained?
+Shidqi Yudotomo Urusov Gambit = Grobs Attck :(
Jonathan Sir, at 37:52 instead of Kd6 black could play Qg1+, then Qxg2+, then perpetual checks are possible by the queen and would have been draw.
Pretty sure he was in check though
Interesting, but it's not a guide on using the king's gambit, most of is is showing one case where black is beating white after using that opening.
Against me they never defend the pawn after accept but they bring there queen out... the "most commen" ways always described in video's, they never play against me.
Kings Gambit is more complicated than women!!!
Try QUEEN'S gambit!
Urusov Gambit please
AS Y'LL KNOW KINGS GAMBIT AS THE NAME SUGGESTS IS "KING OF ALL GAMBITS"
I'm born in 1988 too, I just turned 28 actually (happy birthday me)
+Jørgen S My birthday is today. Happy birthday mate. Hope you enjoyed the lecture.
Love the KG.
if he says DUBIOUS one more time... -_- LMAO
Why is knight e6 an obvious move when it's so terrible?
That person is not NN. Its samay raina
nimzo indian ragozin variation
French Defense
what if we play pawn to D6 at 27:36
It's White's turn to play.
Because then queen to f8 is checkmate due to bishop being pinned by the rook.
is chess mainly about a good opening?
not at all. you could throw people who've memorised openings by responding with a move they have never seen before, and then beat them with better tactics. Back in the day when my openings were wack, I would just respond with bong cloud attack as black or h5/a5 as black just to throw them off, because they have guaranteed never learnt how to respond to something as ridiculous as h5/a5 (which doesn't even put u into THAT much of a bad position)
No, it's about space, time, material,force, pawn structure and king safety.....in the first ten moves .😇
stonewall attack
ua-cam.com/video/s49XovewHMA/v-deo.html
Isn't 37:24 a forced checkmate. Instead of (Knight)d5, you can play Qc7,Ke8,Bf7 #
Pratik Salunkhe not sure if you have since saw this as its been a while but if white plays Qc7+ black can respond with Nd7
Ryan Brodeur yes, you're right totally missed that! perks of being a low rated player.
+Pratik Salunkhe In all fairness I probably would have missed it if I was white in that position
Ryan Brodeur up for a match on chess.com
I would but I really should sleep.
His dubious moves are also very suspicious
White can pin the queen instead of moving pawn to d4 threatening the queen. . (modern game)
yeay sakin adam
dubiously dubious obviously!
So this is what people in prison are upto these days.....
Camera mAn with the blunder and the video editor with clutch chess diagram
I don't understand. I agree that chess is an art, then why does the games of the old era attract me more than the recent ones.
actually, Fischer said that pawn to g5 is the move that refutes the Kings Gambit, not d6
+Jessica Crawford No, he (half-jokingly I assume) said that "3. ... g5 is inexact because it gives white drawing chances".
dubious
great videos but they are for myself a littelbit to long
Another guy who loves to hear himself talk.
Wait there’s a guy who has NO na,e
Name
Whoa Jhon you are quite young
I think a fundamental problem with all these high level players talking about dubious moves is that they don't consider rating into the statement. Their games are also dubious, if you ask an engine.
