The Jackpot (1:36) :
If he premoves : 0:57
If he takes : 1:15
If something goes wrong :
If the knight takes : 3:05
Knight c3 : 3:44
Rook to b1 : 4:35
Knight to d5 : 6:03
thanks mate, appreciated
What if white goes qd5 ?
damn thanks bro
@@cadenstarry6614 lol then your gonna have to play chess Im sorry
Um ofc ure a bigginer since u watch Gotham Chess
This gambit used to terrify me, but once you learn the moves it's like Christmas morning every time I see it
I never knew it was a well known gambit, kept running into it a lot of times during my blitz games and i just slowly learned how to defend against it with the help of engine analysis at the end of my games.
i like how i never seen the englund gambit
@@hapainess3636 are you quite new? It's pretty much the scholars mate of d4 openings. A rite of passage to face.
@@DragonBank kinda
I take the first pawn, but then don't bother defending it. At my level, people just collapse without the trick to lean into.
"20000 players fell for this gambit" actually misconception. I, who fell for it 20000 times, am an outlier and should not have been counted
😂
Oh, Spiders Georg, when will they stop including you in surveys?
As a major queen's pawn player, I have fallen for this more often than I like to admit

can not believe levy’s lamp is higher rated than me
So let’s change that mate
Levy's lamp lives on his room, it watches every single game Levy plays.
I wouldn't be surprised if his socks are higher rated than me tbh
His glasses are higher rating than me, they allow levy to see therefore allowing him to play… this level is insane..
Not to mention Levy's Chair...
My favourite part of the video is “If they don’t take, you’re gonna have to play chess, I’m sorry” 😂😂 7:30
But I hate playing chess!
That's not what i signed up for!!! Outrageous!! :)
Never take on e5, you will be fine and disappoint your opponent on move 2. 😁
But even if you take this line is pretty good for white: 1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 Nc6 3. Nf3 Qe7 4. Qd5! f6 5. exf6 Nxf6 6. Qb3 d5 7. Bg5
Its true
You're certainly not the only good chess teacher on UA-cam, but you're surely among the best. Clever, funny, complete, you name it. 10 points.
The problem with Levy having 1.8M subscribers now is that these "rarely played" openings are now played by 1.8M people. And this goes for the Vienna, the Vienna Gambit, etc, etc. You can actually tell that you are playing a Levi's subscriber when they use these not-rare-anymore weapons :) I mean, this is a great tribute to the amazing influence that Levi has, but it has its downsides :)
Also makes it so alot more people are ready to play against it
its good though. because it would be too easy otherwise. everyone is surprised pikachu face like this and its kinda funny lol
the UA-cam chess community make it so a rating below 600 doesn't necessarily mean you're a child just new to chess.
its 2.67 million people now 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

Hey Levy, not sure if you’re looking for suggestions for games... if you are, could you do Anand vs Aronian from 2013?
#suggestion #gothamchess
Love that game
Thats good
Idk the game, but they make it sound worth the time
Cool name dude
This man is a legend. When I discovered this channel I watched 3 of levy’s videos, and my rating went up by 150 in two days
lol when I started watching my rating went up 200 lmao
Nice
and it also cleared up my acne!
My stomach cancer was also cured
I found the love of my life after years of being single
Loved the short rant about teaching to garden, then not owning the responsibility of your own outcome. I love chess as well as gardening. Thanks for constant inspiration!
Levy is a great teacher. He has a great understanding and knows how to break it down for us simple minded 600 players lol
his openings vids are concise
Absolutely agree
Just won using this method, actually a few games 🤣🤣 this video single handedly brought me to 1000
This got me to 800 😄
This got me to 800 😄
Eric Rosen did a "guess the ELO" so now Levy is getting his own Stafford
Actually Aman plays this opening a lot where he sacrifices the queen if i'm not mistaken
Yeah, the Englund is already Aman's Stafford
Hey levy, just wanted to let you know that you content is really appreciated and im waiting impatiently for every video you make. You inspired me to make compliment to people and remember them they’re amazing. I hope everything is good in you life right now, Thanks you for your dedication toward your community, your an absolutely amazing person!

I enjoy Levy's ability to talk to us while playing, like he can split his brain and still win games while instantly analyzing on the fly and explaining moves to us. When I play, I can't even answer a text or I'm thrown off my game.
I'm new to Chess and enjoyed the video. Very impressed how you were able to recover from Blunders. Thanks for posting.
Pro tip for anyone wanting an easy refutation against the englund:
-get to the position shown at 8:32 but instead of playing e4, you first play f4 and only then e4.
-You have two pawns in the center and a developed knight.
-develop your bishops with tempo on their queen.
It is not winning by any means, but I (a 1700) have won 22/22 of my games from that position. Its just that easy to play.
delete this comment.
NOW.
Damn that is genius and also listen to the guy above me and delete this
Delete please, we shall be the only to to be burdened with such cripplous logic.
What do u mean by ur a 1700? No offence i just started playing chess and i dont know anything pls teach me
@@Ebin-ix2jg In chess we have rating system called ELO. My ELO rating is 1700. On chess sites your rating is used to pair you up agianst opponents of similar playing strength. If you win, your elo goes up by a few points, and your opponents elo drops a few points amd the reverse if you lose.
Complete beginners are usualy between 0-1000 elo and the top players of the world have a rating between 2500-3000.
People have different elo ratings for the different time controls, and over the board vs online.
His shirt elo has been going through the roof since he took a break.

I would like to personally thank all Englund players, never stop playing the Englund gambit. As a d4 player, nothing is more reassuring than my opponent playing 1.. e5, losing the game in one move. It's like a gift of free rating points every single time. Kudos to you guys
I have a positive record with the englund. Either way i prefer it than play d5 and allowing my opponent to play his/her favourite opening.
@@deutscheblitzkrieg Makes sense. I mean all I did was look at the engine responses to the englund lines, and my opponents usually don't know the lines after the first few moves, so I almost always come out of the opening winning
@@wicked5999 Yes, the gambit isn't that hard to refute. Under 1000 elo it has maybe about 10% conversion rate and above it, maybe 5%. But it is still playable. I have over 50% win rate with it, so it is an ok opening, especially in faster time formats. I've also caught a lot of London system premovers by surprise with it.
do you take the e5 pawn or do something else?
@@seand.8897 Yes, always take the pawn
So glad I've discovered this channel! Thank you :)

Gotham: THIS GAMBIT IS ZO DANGEROUS
Also Gotham:
13:41: white is definitely a bit better
14:50: white definitely is better
23:07: we are definitely not suffering too much
23:04: we are still doing 'oke'
That coming from an IM the gambit doesn't sound so dangerous.
I mean that was on levy for not defending his bishop
His point is that white is technically winning, but the winning line requires making very precise moves that most people will miss.
tried it, had to resign in 8 moves
@@ibrahim-sj2cr ur just bad i am on 1600 elo and winning Blitz games
I guess you don’t know what a gambit is.
dude your work ethic is so insane. we all appreciate you so much
Now I know why I suddenly encountered the Englund gambit for the first time in a real game after playing chess for 30 years.
Thanks, Gotham for this tutorial.
So early levy hasn't even started to speak Russian
He’s in my head I swear I just thought of learning the Englund
well its englund close but not far
You and me both
Of 1M subscribers there are probably 500 who are thinking of this gambit. Another 500 are thinking of Vienna gambit. If Levy chose to discuss the Vienna, then I’m sure one of those guys would post “hey this is amazing... I was just thinking of this gambit!!” 😂😂😂
ENG lund
@@ishanphutela8246 God save the British Queen .. hip hip hooray for the England gambit !!!
Damn, You're awesome and highly entertaining, Levy! I love it; laughing my ass off while learning killer gambits from you! Thank you.
Levy, glad you cover this on your D4Dynamite course. Someone tried this on lichess today and through declining it I ended up defeating them.
Loved that you included the Hambleton variation (queen sac on e3)!!
Now I’m going to be seeing this opening every other game for a week or two.
Thank you very much for a very clear explanation and variations even with real games! The composition of the video is really good. My chess life become fruitful because of you. Thanks.
Howdy 👋...subscribed immediately after seeing such awesome content. Big shout out for keeping yourself honest on silly blunders! You’re the man!
Now that everyone knows how to play this line I can't play it anymore :)

Yes Levy, more videos like this please, very instructional. Remember, just talking out your thought process while playing games is immensely helpful. Who doesn't want a little peak at the mind of a master? I'd love to see more rating climbs/speedruns where you just talk through your process.

Did your seven year whoop you yet 😁🤪
Thanks much for the educational videos
thank you for giving people this losing move, as a d4 player I'm probably gonna get +50 elo in 2 days.
Thank you for playing this boring move, as a d4 hater I'm probably going to puke next time I see it.
@@brajanf8901 why?
I crushed black every time they play this. haha.
@@brajanf8901 THATS EXACT REASON I PLAY ENGLUND
@@joshgodwinson9376 didnt ask
I just got the d4 course, and now you put out not one, but two videos on how to crush the openings mentioned in it.
So I guess here’s a reminder to make a “how to crush the trompowsky” video before you forget.
Ye its just tricky and u just have to be solid.
Yeah if his d4 course was complete he would tell you how to refute the englund since it's rly ez. I learned it in like an hour and a half of self study which is probably like a 20 minute video max
Ive just found you and 3 mintes was enough to make me subscribe you. Noone befere explained me a chess opening as good as you did.
Thanks, Levy! Very illustrative and engaging explanations, if you are lookin to improve your chess.
Levy hope you can get that GM title, you definitely deserve it. Thanks for all the content you're outputting!
Clicked faster than Eric hansen threw his chair off the table
Overused
@@mditm6966 he literally doesn't care
Also worth checking out are the Blackburne-Hartlaub/Hartlaub-Charlick Gambit variations within the Englund: you essentially gambit a second pawn with ...d6 after dxe5, recapture with the DSB, and then develop for a quick Queenside castle. If White castles in some lines, you can sac the DSB with a move like Bxh2, which usually opens up a discovered attack on the White Queen after White is forced to play a move like Kxh2. Still pretty trappy but you're in a much better position to play chess if the opponent doesn't fall for some of the most common traps and blunders versus the traditional Englund or the Rosen pre-move trap line.
watched like all the way thru the video, altho i usually play the dutch defense but the englund has always provide me with good position. i like wat you are doing, keep it up, looking forwward to learrn even more

Great video as always. Just used it for the first time and won (~1700 elo in lichess).
The analysis gives him a small advantage at the early game, but that always happens with gambits. In the chaos that followed I ended up better following your suggestions. Then he hanged a queen but I was already winning anyway.
“This gambit is so dangerous” HOW DANGEROUS IS IT?
So dangerous
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Levy's consistency? He uploads 1-2 videos practically every day, each time being extremely entertaining and educational. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, these videos always cheer me up. Thank you, Levy. YOU are more important than a queen.
Y'all take enough moments every day it's starting to become creepy lol

Excellent video, thanks.
i don’t even like chess that much, i just like levy’s personality. commenting for algorithm, thank you so much for entertaining me (:
This line is straight up powerful. Unlike other gambit trap lines like for example the Intercontinential Ballisctic Misslie Gambit, it isn't easy for the opponent to deal with, and a lot more of your opponents will play the moves you want. I've played the Englund Gambit many times, and a large majority of my opponents accept the gambit and fall for this trap.
its bad
@@geoffreygeorge999 It became bad after it gained publicity a year ago 🤷♂️
it was always bad. Trap openings are hope chess nothing else@@moronoftheinternet8864
This is great. Subscribed!
The audio sounds good on this one. And the camera is looking nice too with a little blur, seems like you made some nice upgrades :)
Every time I watch Levy's videos, I get ads warning that my colon has 25lbs of toxic poop.
I mean, of course the poop is bad for the body; there wouldn't be a need to remove it otherwise.
This Godforsaken gambit is why i switched from the accelerated dragon to the classical london.
2:17 I've been playing the Englund for a long time and three minutes ago was the first time I got this mate. It felt so good. Thank you.
Very expressive hand waving. Love it
15:33 "I don't think I'm scared of C4"
well, you should be.
i get it
For the FIRST TIME since watching this video I got the mate in 8 with a 95.3% accuracy (Qxb2 is considered slightly suboptimal).
Thank you Levy!!!
Yeah, after Qb4+, Bd2 Stockfish says Qe7.
I haven't played since I went to state way back when. This is a some very helpful info. I think I want to see if I still have it
A bonus to this opening is you can premove 1. …e5 as black in bullet games. Backfires with the Reti but it’s rare.
Levy’s IM title makes it look like his name is I’M gothamchess
Some days I feel a strong urge to gently caress Levi's moustache, but not today.
How is this not pinned yet?
A long video full of entertainment and education. What more can I ask for? ✌🏾💚
Sehr gutes Video! Ich werde es ausprobieren!
Im sure Eric Rosen is saying somewhere "Oh no my prep!"
This is my favorite bad gambit. I play it all the time, it does really well among my fellow low-rated players lol. I almost always continue with the Soller defense, which sacs yet ANOTHER pawn and leaves the rook with a half open file after castling
thanks i am following you and improving
I've won so many games with this gambit at the 900 level. Thank you for uploading Levy!!!
The Englund is awful, since the refutation is pretty obvious. Unlike some gambits, you don't have to play anything too unusual to beat it - normal, logical moves defeat it. It's a one-trick pony that fails pretty often.
Stfu lmfao
@@isaacshah8006 she's right unfortunately
I'm reminded of something Tim McGrew once said of some other unsound but tricky gambits: you can defeat it with normal, logical moves, but they need to be the "right" normal, logical moves. Most combinations of normal, logical moves will result in just a small advantage for White, and it's probably due to that and the traps that result in the Englund scoring quite well for Black. That said, after playing this line regularly from 2004-2009, finding out about the strength of that 8.Nd5 line that forces ...Kd8 did put me off playing it somewhat, as it doesn't feel good hoping that my opponents don't know and won't stumble into the line that gives White a clear advantage.
I ran into a premover who hanged his bishop on his second turn but I was too excited and didn’t see it. :(
Levy, make video on benko, rosseau, and kloosterboer gambit and grunfeld defence
interesting and insightful. Merci 🤝
Thanks for popularizing this, I'm encountering this a lot as white recently. After 1... e5 I usually offer them the chance to take the move back. They always decline, and then proceed to lose in about 15 moves on average :)
this video will haunt me for the rest of my life
