      Funny enough taking the pawn is worse than taking the bishop cuz if you take the pawn Nc6 traps the queen (followed by Ne8). Just bring back the queen instead of taking stuff if they play e4. Hope this helps :)

    3:39 just as a warning, this is sort of risky. In the rare event that this whole thing works, assuming that your opponent has fallen for this entire scheme up until now and then decides to awaken their inner 6th sense and git gud, then after taking the pawn Nc6 is a poisonous trap that wins the queen back after Nd5. Impossible that you’ll have gotten this far and then they play this, but now you know.

    Don't listen to Levy at 3:38,capturing the pawn on c7 is a terrible blunder. Because after you capture c7, black develops his knight to c6, and after black plays that move you can't move the queen anywhere to escape from the other knight coming to e8 or d5 capturing the queen, and then you just lose.

    At 3:51, Qxc7 is a blunder as well, since Nc6 followed by Ne8 from black forces you to give up the queen and black is winning -3.87

      Yeah I'm baffled here. You are up a queen and your king stands all alone in the middle. Just castle him and play some quiet development moves and you are almost guaranteed to win. No need to grab material while your king is literally covered by a single pawn.

    I love your video! It's such a good explanation of the Tennison Gambit, just wonderful content. I do have a question however. Currently, I'm like a 700 player so I might be stupid IM AWARE but hear me out. At 3:38 you say instead of the move Qxc8, you should play Qxc7. I believe this is a mistake like Qxc8, because Black can then play Nc6, which, with a very beautiful geometry, traps your Queen, making every move she has a tragedy. Then Nd8 or Ne5 pulls the trigger on the one space she had left. Instead, I think White should adopt a "take the money and run" approach to the Tennison Gambit, where they play Qd3+, Qd2, or Qd1 to just get their Queen out of Black's territory. Just my thoughts, thank you!

    _The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't._
    _In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was._
    _The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error._
