Incredible video, I love that you're showing each line that black can play and how to convert it into an advantage. I hope you have more in depth opening videos like this :D
Bro you are a great teacher. A few years ago I wouldn't have had the skill to understand your theory but now that I'm getting better at chess you are becoming one of my favorite teachers. Telling me to think of principles from the benko completely changed how I play against this variation of the French.
Thank you my friend! I appreciate that a ton. Good job on improving your game and thinking through these complicated concepts. Always feel free to hit me up on here (you can just make a new comment) if you have any chess related questions or videos you'd want to see. I'm an open book and here to help!
Thank you so much
People like levy are selling this and you just gave it for free what a nice thing by you sir
Glad you enjoyed the video brotha! More on the way!
Nice coverage of the Wing gambit against the French! 2.Nf3 in general makes several French players uncomfortable as play could transpose to the exchange, 2-knights French, the KIA or the Wing gambit. An odd transposition to the standard French Advance is also possible here. Just a lot of atypical stuff for the French defense player.
As a French and e6 Sicilian player, I like transposing to the Sicilian after 1.e4 e6 2.Nf3 with 2…c5 hoping to get white off-guard. White may now not get in their favored anti-Sicilian leaving them with options like the open Sicilian (yay!), delayed Alapin or Smith-Mora gambit deferred. The transposition to the e6 Sicilian is an aspect that may also be important for the wing gambit player to acknowledge.
Great?! I am tired of playing against the Alapin so have been working on my French defense. Now I have to put up with this gambit nonsense. This is not what a French player wants to face. Informative video. Thanks.
I hated going against the alapin but then realized that blacks position is similar to kings indian attack response.
@@chunky4658 I would like to know more. The way I respond to the Alapin ends up either transposing into a French Advance, which I am ok with, or very tactical isolated pawn positions, which I do not enjoy. I never see anything like a KIA. How do you do that?
I would reroute your knight f6 to b6 at some point while its being chased. Then probably fianchetto kingside and castle without over extending pawns like e7-d7
Anything to help the White player throw the French player a curve ball; I’m all about it!!
Once Black gets into his groove
the first, like dozen moves, he rattles off and is happy. Unless you’re Botvinnik, seems you dpn’t need to memorize anything else! Fischer hated it; it drove him to the KIA!
I play several different systems against it. Anything to make Black think for himself, preferably a bit sharp!
Thanks 🙏 for a fine video, Solomon. 👍
Wing gambit works well in blitz.
Shoot bro.... this is the second time I've seen something on the Wing Gambit when going to play my Scotch as white... I have to try it now. Especially against the French, so annoying lol. Thanks for this!
Min 15, what if black pushed to C3?
Hey Solomon how’s it going? I remember you did a video on a d4 gambit where eventually black takes dxc4 b3 cxb3 Qxb3 with ideas of Bc4 I can’t find the video could you tell me the name of it? Thanks!
The French is so annoying to play against, so I think I'll give this gambit a shot (replacing the boring exchange variation).
PS: Can you cover the Mason-Keres Gambit for white in a future video? I recently discovered it in an old book by Keres and it's so much fun.
I skipped this video, and then after losing 3 games in a row against the French, I'm back. 😅
Its about your skills i think
The wing Gambit wasn't in the sicilian??? I mean 1e4 c5; 2b4
It's in both
Do you think that this is the best opening in chess?
Nope
