A huge advantage could be the lack of opening theory advantage black could have (in my case probably has). I learned chess with e4 e5, and struggled massively when everyone started playing Sicilian. Especially in rapid chess being able to instantly play all theory moves will be a huge advantage. Even being a pawn down doesn't sound too bad...

I've been about a 750. Now I've started noticing opportunities to pin pieces and I think when I do it my opponent is almost defeated when I do it because it's somewhat "advanced" pinning is so sick though! Cheers.
Yes, there are lots of ways to beat people at that level. Probably the best strategy is to take hanging pieces when they're offered to you and hang your own pieces less often.
Frank J. Marshall's book (My 50 Years of Chess?) had an appendix on the wing gambit, I believe. Might be interesting to compare theory. (Apologies if this was already mentioned elsewhere.)
I always like to try these openings out against Stockfish before unleashing them into the real world. It was touch and go but eventually beat Level 2. The main thing is remembering the correct moves in the correct order. I think SF blundered a queen which helped.
The worst thing is that my opponent never play the way I watch on UA-cam, they play very difficult chess they took my queen rook easily by pawn or bishop Or knight don't know what to in that situation it has been more than 7 month , I think I should quit chess.
I see so many using bots to play for them. Just play a super weird move and they’ll play some really weird in return. Only a bot plays like that. Trolls be trolling

You can also play 5) Nf3 instead of c3.
thats a special move in chess called en passant (French for 'in passing') .if a pawn moves past your pawn (by moving its alloted two squares on its first move) you can take it anyway
At 15:04 instead of black Nf6Xd4 --QA5 next Bd2, then Nf6xD5. @gmigorsmimov Can you show this line or a video link that you/someone else did that does?
12:17 Nice! Checkmate also possible with the pawn! After Bg5+ ... Rf6 -- e5xf6# ** edit ** no then Black can take the knight as *most*wanted points out

There is a great deal of theory, what it does do for white is get black out of the Sicilian.
First of all, the chess game isn't symetric, because the Queen is on a different side of the King depending on the color of the pieces!

It would be a good idea to pin this at the top of the comments, or better, put it in the description.
The problem is you only focused on one response. In my case he moved his bishop out after the en passant and capture by the knight.
Igor: Great, as always!!! (And I just love the shots with your kitty in the background.)

The problem is when I play other 800s, no one uses the sicilian.
Then Just start using traps and studying the most famous openings
Play the bot emir. He plays Sicilian vs e4 everytime lol
It's not a problem, it's minus one opening to look into 😂
😂😂
Bro u can play giuco piano and win many games at that rating range
- Shows how an ambitious gambit can pay off if one maintains active play and looks for tactical threats.

I tested this gambit and it is really powerful. Even playing badly. Thanks
Thanks for the demo and video don't have to memorized just get to the point of controlling the center
Thx very much, i just won my first official game using your video for prep!
Wow! Thanks for all ur ideas am learning from you actually.regards from Doha Qatar 🇶🇦
Glad to hear that
Marshall liked to pay this back in the 40's but the Wing Gambit is unsound
but it is a nice surprise weapon to play against anyone under 1900 rating.
even on stockfish +0.00

After d5, Qf6 will be solid move for black and white will be in hard position to counter

Extraordinary new knowledge adquisition!
Thank you, Carlos!
Love your chess data & positioning criteria...Thx Igor..😊
😊
Igor is a great teacher! Thank you
Extremely helpful THANK you sir
You're always welcome!
Thank you oh wise and mighty one...
Please make a video on how to play against Whites nf3 (zukertort opening) 🙏🙏

Beautiful! Thank you!
At 15:45 what is your suggestion if black plays F7 to F5? or Black Pawn H7 to H6? In the wing gambit declined
Sir your attacking is highly great but it will take time for me
I think Sicilian is already better for white (both e4-c5, Nf3 and e4-c5, c3). Why risk?
Because it's a draw if both people play perfectly
Thank you my friend.😊👍
👍
Amazing ❤️
What is the line if after gambit accepted, you play d5 and they play knight F6? Chasing it away seems harder. Thanks
Thank you. This was fun.
i watch some video Rxa3 Bxa3 Bxa3.. 9:13 video i say.. can u please analyse that variation? thanks Master
I played Sicilian today in otb tournament and my opponent played this opening... I wish i saw this earlier
What about E4C5,B4cb,NG3QA5?
Thanks
Nice clip, where r you located, Igor?
Your Video Smith-Morra Gambit is Stronger
I hate playing against sicilian so this is a very fun forced simplification that at the same time may surprise the opponent.
Where is your video where you play a3 first before b4
after video 7:19 missing halloween laugh 😅
I’ve gotten a few wins with this opening because more times than not they aren’t ready. But I use a3.
What move to continue after a3?
@@loulou2302 1) e4 c5 2) b4 cxb4 3) a3 bxa3 4) Bxa3. From there it goes on. It’s a gambit.
Popular black replies are g6 or d5 or Nc6. Some play e6 with intention of trading bishops getting off castle but castling manually with a pawn advantage.
Whites plan is to play c3, d4 etc getting a strong center that’s not easy to break.
One example would be 4)..Nc6 5)c3 g6 6) d4 (or f4 for risky play, or Nf3 which is a little more solid, or d4. For the pawn you get a good center that’s hard to crack, temporarily stall your opponents development and good activity once you develop and castle. But you must prove that’s good enough for a pawn.
You can also play 5) Nf3 instead of c3.
@@soakedbearrd thank you, I'll take note of it, if that's ok with you. I'm still a beginner.
What does the engine say about the 2. b4?
Black needs to know the alternatives rather than going for baubles on the wing. I assume than you have more resources than you are displaying here.
14:11 how can be checkmate
what if after e4 c5 b4 black plays d5?
3:10 what if they defend with knight
Thx GM Igor. Definitely, it a surprise for black players
Black can play pawn a3
7 mn 50 s : e5 au lieu de e6 pour contrer d4
04:58 What about Nc5?
good
what if they defend with b6? then do u just take and play a normal sicilian without b pawns?
Same question
C3 ,then D4 to keep the 2 center pawns? Then Nc3 or Nd2?
Very goog
Wing gambit has very effective antidotes and it has been my pleasure to beat it every single time.
So does literally every gambit and or opening/response.
If you play the Sicilian you should know how to deal with it thiugh
Well, then you must be a strong player!
Tho your opponents haven't seen this video yet 😉
@@GMIgorSmirnov No, honestly thank you for the video, wing gambit still works at club level and is effective
Until… d4 attacking Q who then does …Qe4+
What about 2… d6
Tried it a few times. It doesn't work.
how to solve this as black?
Black cant castle because check by bishop
This video is inspired by KaspaChess channel
how can pawn take on C3 when there is no piece
thats a special move in chess called en passant (French for 'in passing') .if a pawn moves past your pawn (by moving its alloted two squares on its first move) you can take it anyway
It's a move u unlock after becoming IM
Ok so how do we beat the wing gambit with the sicilian?
I'll consider it for the next videos.
But then, should I follow-up with "how to refute the refutation of the gambit?" 🤔🙂
Third move is 3.a3 in wing gambit. Not 3.d4. OK.
Both ways are possible. The 3.d4 move is less known and often gives White a strong attack.

Had a few try this against me, non successful so far
How come Chess bots never fall for your traps?
Horas salam anak Medan 😀😀😀😀😀❤️🙏😎

Sorry GM, can you please explain again?
I just focus on your cat in background
Ha ha!
I wish these guys would get to the point instead of woffling
Guess I need to redefine my definition of 'powerful'.
Did you see the trap lines? or not watch the whole vid??

At 15:04 instead of black Nf6Xd4 --QA5 next Bd2, then Nf6xD5. @gmigorsmimov Can you show this line or a video link that you/someone else did that does?
OH wow, my first 3 times using this have generated wins. This is a wild exciting way to handle the Sicilian (1450 player here)
IT IS NOT EASY TO BE MAN! SPECIAL IN USA! MIK, YOU ARE BIG MAN!
playing the blacks bad is not a good tip
12:17 Nice! Checkmate also possible with the pawn! After Bg5+ ... Rf6 -- e5xf6#
** edit ** no then Black can take the knight as *most*wanted points out
Then black can just take the knight?
@@mostwanted2390 yes I missed that
