Sounds like everyone wants to see more lines of the Nakhmanson so that's what I'll do. Next two videos will be declined variations and other accepted lines besides 6...dxc3. Thanks for all the positive feedback.
Thank you so much Kevin! Looking forward to more lines of this beauty. I'm your new subscriber and already a big fan of your videos. Please keep up your excellent work! All the best and thanks from Ukraine :)
Nooooo u made a video on this... ive been playing it for a while and get a lot of wins from this but now more people will know it and wont be free wins anymore smh. That being said it is really fun and i recommend it alot
Falling into this trap looks absolutely devastating. It’s like your constantly flipping off your opponent in every move. I could see the white king metamorphose into a middle finger.
@@matthiasernst8633 it doesn't matter, just bring the rook to e1 and stockfish evaluates the position as equal but that's only if black plays perfectly. And more times than not, black will make some stupid blunder because there are so many threats
When I was learning chess in my early teens this channel was my go-to for learning openings. I stopped playing for seven or eight years, but lately I've been getting back into it. AND HE'S STILL UPLOADING. What a champ.
This is just THE KILLER gambit I was hoping for coming out of the Italian opening for white, Kevin! Thank you! By the way, you're excellent with your variations explanations in every single one of your videos that you have taught through the years, Sir!
@@chesswebsite , Thanks for taking the time from your busy schedule to express appreciation of my comment, Kevin. You're the best chess instructor on UA-cam.
Mr. kevin I've listened to your videos since around 2010 I think. That's when I first learned how to play chess from my father-in-law. Your videos were extremely helpful. Thanks man. Hope you and your family are healthy.
Yes Please Kevin, do show the Declined versions here as this is one of the most fascinating Gambits and most favored. Thanks so much Big K and as Always, Blessings to You from the South Central Oregon Coast. ... Mike.
It would be great with a declined line. However if u take a look at the tutorial of "the black lion" by Ginger GM. There is a step by step strategy explanation which leads to a much greater understanding. For example consolidating moves, profylactic moves, staying low. If you only get lines to memorize you actually dont understand the game. Now some gambit openings are so wild that you throw strategic thinking overboard. Now this is all good and well if it is mentioned in the tutorial. The black line (lion) has a closed center no castling approach which is very peculiar to many opponents. This aggressive gambit is great and I am going to try it out. Knowing it stems from the Italian game I will of course pay attention to see if there is the opportunity to go into the Evans, the Helloween (as you taught me, much obliged) or the Urusov. Having these three up your sleeve returns the game to more solid chessplaying than just having remembered 20 different lines in the N. Gambit. Anyway great upload! Thx! Once again much obliged!
Kevin: I owe you a tremendous thank-you. Over the last year or so I have followed tons of your Chess knowledge and I say that you are without equal. Please never stop. Now we have this Nakhmanson Gambit--a miracle on the Chess board. Truly,
Please continue with the other lines of this gambit. Eagerly waiting to see tricks and gambits for black as well. Thank you so much for all your hardworking and sharing.
Anyone here in 2021? I am. I fell in love with this nakhmason's gambit. Such a devastating opening. This holds first place in my favourite openings list. The second one would be king's gambit.
Fantastic, this trendy gambit is great and i even got to play it recently. OG Kevin, the first UA-cam chess video guy i found has taught me much. Thanks keep these aggressive gambits and instructional videos coming. Also lined the levenfish, which will be replacing the Yugoslav
King F6 4:06 loses the queen with Bishop G5 Skewering the King to the Queen. The only option is to take with the knight. Then Queen takes knight, again a skewer and the black queen will be captured next move.
Very interesting: 11.26 if Ne7 You can just take the Knight, (threatening Rf7# or Qf7#) If 1...Qxe7 2 Qf6# If 1...Rf8 2 bg5+ hxg5 3 Qf5+ Kxe7 Ng6 Ke8 en then Re1+. Black has to block and then comes Qxf8#. This is just one of the many interesting lines leading to checkmate.
Nice one... bring more good and unusual openings and defenses, please... as far as i see getting the opponent out of the book is the beat way to have an advantage..
thanks soooooooooo much Kevin i love all the videos you have made each very specific with all the variations that are important to know in my mind for tournaments even though i didn’t see every videos for the past 11 years, i still really enjoy your channel KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!! 😇 i could NOT find a person better than you ⌚️💠⚜️⚜️🔱🔰 please tell me how you remember all of those openings?? favorite channel for 1000000 years liked all your videos with “👍” in your other channel, TheMathWorld , you tought me so much of all i struggled on!!! keep up the good work:) 🎓🎓🎓🎓
Greatly Appreciated Kevin, I want to see more of this please. I have Subscribed with ALL Notifications turned On. Thank You, great presentation style. My only observation on even the slightest improvement of such fine presentations is to suggest you slow your cadence, if even just slightly. Blessings Friend, ... Mike.
At 4:57, instead of Re1, why can't we play Bg5 and after knight takes, Qg5?! It wins a queen on the spot, right?! Edit - Oops.. I just saw the later part of the video!
At what minute does he discuss that move? I can't find it, but I really would like to because I thought of the same sequence as you and I am curious why it isn't optimal.
5:35 You missed a move...6:43 since the knight is dead anyway, why not take advantage of the pawn on c3 and play N-d2? that blocks the bishop in, and seems to force an exchange of either the knight or bishop, or perhaps a tempo gain sacrificing the knight there on d2.
Your video on the Nakhmanson Gambit has rekindled my interest in chess ! I was wondering if you could do a follow up video on ways to set it up apart from using the Italian game?
Hey guys, I just recently got into chess, well I did know all the rules, but no tactics or something like that. Now I want to concentrate on one main defence and one main offence and not play somehow and hope the best. Which would you recommend? Or is that the wrong way to start with chess tactics? Thanks a lot!
With perfect play black can equalize the position in the fried liver attack. However, this gambit has many ways to decline pawn takes c3 and it’s only good if black continues to take all of the material white offers. Also, instead of the fried liver attack and this gambit, the lolli attack is a much better attack for white because even though it’s more complex, it guarantees an advantage.
You are more likely to win quickly with this opening if they accept the gambit; however, if they don't accept the gambit, then you find yourself in a losing position with not that many attacking chances unless you know exactly what you're doing. So it's a high-risk-high-return opening, but definitely worth trying out at least once.
It’s relatively uncommon for opponents to make the sequence of moves that leads to this, and you kinda screw your self if you set this up and it doesn’t work, so I wouldn’t recommend using it too often, but if they play into it, it would be more effective than the fried liver attack.
This guy has just been going strong for 11 years. Everytime I want to learn an opening he's number 1. Props my man keep going
Agreed. Even after 11 years he still does it with the same enthusiasm. Just brilliant.
We appreciate it Mr. Kevin
I agree
Same here! Keep it up!
Better than gotham chess
Sounds like everyone wants to see more lines of the Nakhmanson so that's what I'll do. Next two videos will be declined variations and other accepted lines besides 6...dxc3. Thanks for all the positive feedback.

Thank you very much Kevin. Greetings from Germany :)
Falling into this trap looks absolutely devastating. It’s like your constantly flipping off your opponent in every move. I could see the white king metamorphose into a middle finger.
It doesn't feel good!
Me: plays cool gambit
My opponent: what if I just don’t take the free knight?
every single time
@Maison Elijah nah, this is a chess channel my guy.
@Maison Elijah Stop tryna scam people on a chess video
Takes the knight but not the bishop
Yes pls continue with the other lines of this gambit
This gambit isn’t worth tryinn, black can come up with a counter attack dat he didn’t mention
Bench Mark
After 6. Nc3 dxc3, Stockfish evaluates it as +0.1
Please i love gambits
Hey, funny Guys! I have the Idea that the King goes back to e8! Than it is easy for Black to develope as fast as White!
@@matthiasernst8633 it doesn't matter, just bring the rook to e1 and stockfish evaluates the position as equal but that's only if black plays perfectly. And more times than not, black will make some stupid blunder because there are so many threats
“It’s nice showing your opponent you can take a piece but you don’t have to”
Damn. Savage.
I love how even after a whole decade, your style and presentation of the video hasn't changed. Thank you for making such a great video. Keep going

Can you believe this guy is still uploading?
Yes and we appreciate it. Always love to learn new openings
I learnt how to chess from this guy some 10+ ago.
10yrs ago wow. I first found out about these vids about 4 yrs ago so i believe it
Same for me, this man is the voice of chess
Haha.. where is the best moves for black?? These r not best moves for black.. 🤣🤣
I am really glad you have started making videos again!
Excellent, Loved it Yes, .. more please.
Hi Kevin. Just want to say your videos are the best. Simple and clear.
Thanks CrueLoaf. I appreciate the feedback. Simple and clear was my priority #1.

at 6:55 Rxe4 is a blunder (according to engine). It drops tha bar from +6.9 to +1.9. Qxe4 is best showing +4.20
Very good explanation. Developing all the possible lines.
Your vids are lit this is the first time i learned online and its amazing
Great many thanks!! Best that I've seen about Italian game.
Please continue with the other lines of this gambit. Eagerly waiting to see tricks and gambits for black as well. Thank you so much for all your hardworking and sharing.

Kevin thanks a million. Wonderful explanation of all the variations black can play against this. Too bad none of them is a happy ending lol
We should all thank Jonathan Schrantz for bringing this gambit back
Kg6 (2:10), Kf6 (4:02), Ke7 (14:05), Ke8 (15:45)
thanks for the video. It goes well with Urusov Gambit. love aggressive games
This channel definitely needs more credit
Yes big Kev!!! please make a video on the declined lines and Kxc3. Cheers

Other accepted and declined lines video.
Nitin Kumar yes
Please can we vote to call this the 'Jonathan Schrantz Gambit' as he was the first I've ever seen to study it thoroughly.
King F6 4:06 loses the queen with Bishop G5 Skewering the King to the Queen. The only option is to take with the knight. Then Queen takes knight, again a skewer and the black queen will be captured next move.
Nakhmanson decline! Yes please
Very interesting: 11.26 if Ne7 You can just take the Knight, (threatening Rf7# or Qf7#) If 1...Qxe7 2 Qf6# If 1...Rf8 2 bg5+ hxg5 3 Qf5+ Kxe7 Ng6 Ke8 en then Re1+. Black has to block and then comes Qxf8#. This is just one of the many interesting lines leading to checkmate.

Thanks John. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you good sir, keep up your good work ❤️
Very beautiful explanation, I like it.
please make the other variations video
Please make more of these videos!!
Nice one... bring more good and unusual openings and defenses, please... as far as i see getting the opponent out of the book is the beat way to have an advantage..
Very nice, please continue :)
Love your content Kevin! Keep it up!
I like the video and your style - thank you.
Been waiting so long for this
Pls a video about the gambit. Awesome video btw

i could NOT find a person better than you ⌚️💠⚜️⚜️🔱🔰
please tell me how you remember all of those openings??
favorite channel for 1000000 years
liked all your videos with “👍”
in your other channel, TheMathWorld , you tought me so much of all i struggled on!!!
keep up the good work:)
🎓🎓🎓🎓
Thx kevin, great video!
Glad you liked it!
6:12 LOL What a hilarious way to disrespect/roast your opponent
Wow, this gambit is more aggressive than the Traxler gambit. I can't wait to play this.
What if I was actually first and said first?
Nobody would care
Correct!
Thanks Kevin for a soo nice Gambitversion! 😀👍♟
Nice. I never thought it was this tricky!
As the Greeks say do not accept free gifts. Taking all the free pieces offered really open one to devastating attacks. Great gambit!
Make videos on the other lines too (if knight take C3). Great stuff. 👍
Well this is simply insane ... I recommend this opening to all club player
I watched this opening so many times I'm starting to get it, and can't wait to try
Greatly Appreciated Kevin, I want to see more of this please. I have Subscribed with ALL Notifications turned On. Thank You, great presentation style.

omg nooooo all my secrets have been exposed

I can't find it, but I really would like to because I thought of the same sequence as you and I am curious why it isn't optimal.
Here’s the damn subscription, loving this
Very good, thanks. Do you know another gambit similar aggressive?.
For every Gambit and Attack,there is a Defence.
6...Nxc3 and you'll be a pawn up.
Or Nd6. Gives easy game for Black. ;)
5:35 You missed a move...6:43 since the knight is dead anyway, why not take advantage of the pawn on c3 and play N-d2? that blocks the bishop in, and seems to force an exchange of either the knight or bishop, or perhaps a tempo gain sacrificing the knight there on d2.
Great vid keep doing more
Great video kevin
Hey! Love your videos. Can you do a video on lativian gambit
More of this Gambit please
Can someone explain why do we play nc3 instead of c3?
Finally got this gambit it is such a fun one!!
You must be watching Jonathan video huh? It seems only him post, before you
Yep, they discovered our little secret. Hopefully this video doesn’t make everyone know about it
At 4:15, the fact that moving his King into the center is what the analysis suggests means that Black is in big trouble
Please make more lines on the nackhmanson gambit especially the decline line.
THANK YOU!

0:50 I prefer pawn c3 and if takes theres ideas of queen b3 etc
No need to ask us if we like your videos m8, seriously. Just keep doing what you're doing 👌
Fantastic video to watch
Jonathan Schrantz makes Nakhmanson popular
All other Chess UA-camrs:- Let's do the same!
5:33 Wouldn't it be better if you play C1 bishop to G5 instead?
Tank you and cover the decline lines plz.
This is good but I would be interested in the line starting Qc5+ Ke8, Re1 Qf6, with black Nb4 following soon. I couldn't manage to nail that one.
Decline lines please. I regularly use the Evan's Gambit and this is right up my alley.
Black can play Nxc3 and Nd6 booth of them gives him at least +1 Pawn and easy Game. ;)
You let my secret out
Is this better than fried liver attack?
I don’t know if it’s better, but it’s definitely more fun to play.
With perfect play black can equalize the position in the fried liver attack. However, this gambit has many ways to decline pawn takes c3 and it’s only good if black continues to take all of the material white offers. Also, instead of the fried liver attack and this gambit, the lolli attack is a much better attack for white because even though it’s more complex, it guarantees an advantage.
