Nice video!! I've played the Scotch Gambit many times already, but I still learnt a lot from your video, especially in the second half. I'm gonna head over right now to where you put these ideas in practice in your other video and see how you crush everybody with the Scotch Gambit.
May the force be with you!
Freedom Fighter thanks so much! The force is strong with you big fella. I hope the Scotch Gambit serves you well Jeod. LETS GOOOOO 💯🔥🥶😎

Yessir! Glad I could help! LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
Spanish is my first language, let me tell you that you explain so well that even a foreign person can understand everything you say. An incredible video my friend, expect to play it soon.
Thanks bro! I’m so glad I could help you my friend! 💯🔥😎
This is awesome, very user friendly opening tutorial. I have found myself on the receiving end of the worst of these lines. Now I'm off to turn the tables
Thanks a lot! Time to return the favor! 💯🔥😎
When I clicked on the video and saw 70 thumbs up, 0 thumbs down, I was in doubt tbh. But ater watching the first 6 minutes, I'll make it 71/0. You're a great talker/teacher!
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks a lot! 💯🔥💵
I climbed up about 300-400 points on lichess after watching this video, thank you sir!

Great teaching style man, simply straight-up getting down to the good stuff. Thanks for the guide.
I appreciate that! Glad to help. LETS GET IT 💯
Hi there James. Just want to congratulate you and thank you on this superb scotch gambit lesson. This is my favourite opening in chess and has been for the last few years. I've seen lots of great scotch gambit videos and yours is one of the very best. You have a great style and delivery because your voice is always interesting and engaging. You make it exciting to listen to and that is half the battle because it helps you actually remember the moves. Really fantastic video and I'm sure this will make my use of the fab scotch gambit even better. Keep up the great work👏
Thanks Philip! Glad I could help! Thanks for watching bro. Hope you gain alot of points with this opening! 🔥🔥🔥
Bro, love the mood, great explanation on the key points to learn more later, bravo!
Your channel is great bro. Thank you for just getting to the point in your videos and getting right into showing us the lines, many other RUclips should take notes!😅
Very very Impressive Video on Scotch Gambit. I have never seen any video explaining this opening un such a deep deep ideas. Really Wow. Just wow.
Glad you liked it! Hope is serves you well!
I'm really happy to see you as an NM. I remember playing cass with you in first board when I played for Huron in MI scholastic tournaments. I hope you're doing well!
Yo! On the way to GM. Yessir that was the good days! hahaha mannn those were fun. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel!
What a great masterclass 3 years later it's definitely a monument, your explanations are so clean and deep, particulary well adapted to all the kind of moves we will surely meet, greetings from Belgium
Wow, thank you!
Watch 100 times. Simple. I'll get right on that. Thanks for the content
I love the way you explain he game and get straight to the point. Thank you!
I'm familiar with the Scotch Gambit, but I always learn something new about it.
LETS GO! Thanks for watching!
I have been learning this via your videos and they resigned very quickly on my first successful execution lol
😂😂😂 LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
I will start playing Scotch gambit. OMG. I might binge watch your videos today. Can't wait for you to be a GM big fella!
yeaaaaaaaaaaaa LETS GO BIG FELLA! Thanks for watching!
i`m a sith but iappreciate your great great job... now i follow you Master Canty
I appreciate that fellow sith. The Force is strong on this side. 💯
I just had a chance to try this out for the first time and I've never had so much fun in the opening. Thanks so much!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Bro, so glad you're on YT! Came here after watching your games against Levy, it was such a good match.
I've been playing the Scotch Game for a while but never tried the Scotch Gambit, so this is right up my alley. Loving the content and love how you go through all the lines, very clean and straightforward. Often I'll watch a video about an opening and come out more confused than when I started, so many mainlines, sidelines, tactical ideas and whatnot. You got the sauce though, this was so well taught. Will look forward to more stuff, especially if you do one of those for black against 1.d4! Cheers!
Thanks so much for your support! Glad I could help you. I try to cover as much as I can in every video! Thanks my guy. Check the King's Indian playlist that is for d4
I saw you on C-squared and really enjoyed it. This is the first of your videos that I've watched and I really enjoyed this too! You have a gift for speaking.
Thanks for watching! 🔥
You're the least dry chess guy I've seen on youtube. Subscribed.
🤣🤣🤣 thanks bro! Glad I could help! 🔥😎💯
So far the best scotch gambit lesson I have watched you really deserve more subscribers than this
Master canty....I have watched thousands of viseos by eric rosen ....nakamura....and many others. I think your teaching style is excellent. Keep up
the great work.
Yoooo thanks a lot! Appreciate that
Great breakdown, simple to the point.
🥶🔥
Loving the SGambino. You are quickly becoming my favorite chess youtuber. Making instructional content that holds up but is also entertaining. Keep up the work man!
Lets goooo 🔥🔥🔥 thanks for watching big fella 💯💯💯
All fantastically clear and practical. Thanks and sorry if I'm repetitive in my messages. Good evening bye
Glad you enjoyed it!
reading through Fishbein's book now (your recommendation from a previous video) it is a serious treatment on this opening this video is great man
Rich Senyor thanks bro! Yep I have some razor sharp lines with that opening now! It’s 🔥
What an amazing tutorial! Love the content as well as the presentation style. Looking forward to watching other vids on Scotch gambit!
Thanks for watching! WE IN HERE
I saw the video of you and Hikaru and I had to look you up! I like your style! New subscriber here! Looking forward to more vids from you. 🤙🏽
Thanks for coming through! 💪🏾♟
Man, I just won my first game ever against a 2000 (lichess) because they resigned after be7-c3-dxc3-qd5 -- this video has netted me some nice scalps!
Margate LETS GOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Scotch Gambino for the win!!!
Just found out about your channel. Really instructive and intersting! Amazing content!
Let’s go! 🔥🔥🔥
Great video!! I almost played this line--but I wasn't as familiar with it, so I just played my normal Scotch. Can't wait to try this one now!
Hope you enjoy it! LETS GO!
very nice, Scotch is one of my fav. I like the way he teaches.
Thanks bud course on the way!
Great video love it
I love your teaching style. Props for good instructive chess. 😎🤗😉
I appreciate that! LETS GO!
Dirty, dirty tactics.
I played this opening randomly for many games yesterday because I got tired of opening with my queen's pawn and this is cool. Didn't know it was a thing it just made sense to me somehow.
Strong stuff big fella! Keep it up! This video will help you smash with it.
I'm now a fiend for the scotch Gambino thanks to you good sir
No problem big fella time to turn up with it!
Nice introduction, but he missed a few better moves. For example, @5:40, the bishop doesn't have to guard the queening square, as after Bxf8, black gets another queen but loses the king.
5:39 After bxg7, cxb, bxb2 isn’t best because the king isn’t castled. in castles variation it’s a blunder but here it’s winning by +8 according to the engine. threatening mate on next move
Good stuff
after you show a variation I have to setup the whole process and get there to really learn it, takes more than just watching it I feel like, by the way your videos are awesome man, I would love it if you could do maybe the fantasy variation against Caro kan or Evans gambit although the motifs are pretty similar
Thanks Nick! Yep it’s repetition and constant work on it bro. Check my Caro Kann playlist!
ruclips.net/p/PL9VW7cVkVYCNNLlPzNyHqyqekdf_H4PoT
I found you in Christina’s (chesstina) chat on twitch you responded to me lol and decided to randomly look at your channel and now were here lol 😂
Welcome!!
@@JamesCantyIII good to see my people doing positive !
Great video! I love playing the scotch, and this looks like a lot of fun. Thank you!
Thanks Max! It’s ALOT of fun. 💯🔥
5 black starts and 3 Sicilians later, I finally got the scotch gambit. But my opponent played d6 instead of dxc3. I got confused and fudged it up playing some 4...be7 5. C3...d6 6. Qb3....na5 7. Bxf7....kxe7 8. Qd5...c6 and soon got my bishop and queen disconnected losing the bishop... 🤷♂️ guess I should have just played cxd4 or castle,instead of qb3? Or qa6 instead qd5
Canty has more swagger in his pinky toe than any other FIDE master in the world. He makes chess feel accessable to those of us who grew up in the hood.
🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥
Thank you James.. I had this gambit with Be7 and opponent resigned on move 6.Qd5
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I started playing the Scotch gambit a few years ago and I've never looked back. Hardly nobody knows how to play it properly. Thanks for giving me some new ideas!
LETS GOOOOOO! Yep! Glad I could help!
I am planning to play this in my tournament tommorow.
, thanks for the vid.
Have fun! CRUSH IT LETS GO
@@JamesCantyIII Thanks, drew someone 300 points higher rated than I am with the scotch gambino.
@@SlowRay278 let’s gooooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@JamesCantyIII Thank you
Just found your channel, quality content - thank you!
Much appreciated! Welcome bro! 💯💯💯
@@JamesCantyIII Just had a game as you describe at 20m49s and I was happy to have remembered this video and played Be3, and had a good game :D
subbed so quick bro. thank you
Thanks for the sub! No problem bro! 💯💯💯
I’ve been looking at Lichess to go over the openings by frequency and then selecting best move for white based on win % and learning from the most common responses on down and sorting by my skill level and I’m learning how I don’t even have to be good at chess to be good at chess 😂
By that I mean there are enough traps in enough openings that a lot of openings you can win without knowing anything beyond the opening. At least far more winning than I am now.
For example… 48% of low to 1800 Elo players after queen to d5 in this opening either give up a mate or avoid mate only to get mate later or give up enough material for white to be crushing. Some not right away on move 7 but on 8 or 9.
The other 52% of opponents you might have to play beyond ~8 moves 😂 or offer them a draw and if they’re good enough to know you’re winning they’ll take it. I think if I looked beyond 8 moves and learned a few of the more common responses I’d also find a crushing advantage.
Even higher ELO players have big enough blunders for you or white is winning a high enough percentage for you to have a chance but I imagine you have to learn a lot more openings and a lot deeper in the opening to have a result and maybe learn some basic tactics and mating patterns to at least match opponents skill to where you can convert positions where historically 60% are wins into at least more than 50%.
Very nice touch and research here!
Superb opening explanation
Thanks Mike! 💯💯💯
I follow you on ig and never assumed you had a RUclips.
Prepping this for my next otb event!
LETS GOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥
@@JamesCantyIII 1500s won’t know what hit em lol
@@physicist2337 🤣🤣🤣 BIG FACTS
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
Great video! The best I’ve seen
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks!
In honor of the SCOTCH GAMBIT aka THE GAMBINO taking down Levon Aronian!
Thanks Big Ron! SHEEESH
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The line at 13:09 reminds me a lot of this 1 line from the evans gambit
Very informative man thanks.
No problem Davy! 💯
@@JamesCantyIII I don't know if you watch coffee chess lol. It's really a bunch of mid range experts and below talking trash and playing chess. But I'm known for my attacking style and you gave me some new ideas in the scotch. They call me Brooklyn Dave on there. But I've had somebody play that crazy Bishop move(...Bg4) and wound up sacking the exchange anyway lol. I can't remember if I won that game or not but it surprised me.
PS. I know Dzingi from back in the day in Washington Square.
thanks sir i like your video.it help me more .i like to play hyper accelerate dragon.in Sicilian your video is top class. sir i want video series against d4 for black aspect.thanks
Thanks for watching! Glad I could help! Try looking at my King's Indian playlist!
Hello, I enjoy learning from your videos 😊 I’ve been working on the Scotch gambit. I was curious as to what to do near the beginning when they don’t go for that first pawn switch? Some folks aren’t buying it and it gets me in trouble after that. Do you have a video for that? Thanks
I did
e4e5
Nf3 Nc6
Bc4 Be7
D4 exd4
And they said it’s scotch game: Benima defense
But it’s off the Hungarian.
End up in the same position though after c3
Thanks, great content!
My pleasure! 💯💯💯
@@JamesCantyIII been playing this for about 3 months now with great results. The way you go through the lines and the thought process is top tier!
Mind blowing !
You should call these QuickStarter videos something like “Padawan Training”
😂😂😂
what a great video!
fantastic video, great speaking skills
Thanks Juno! Appreciate that. 💯
Yo Canty great stuff, any chance you could do some videos explaining the benoni. Much love bro
kurt zaballero absolutely big fella!
excellent info - Thank you
Thanks Donna! Glad I could help!
Also, damn dude, this content is amazing.
thanks my guy! 💯
Great content.
THANK YOU! 🔥🔥🔥
22:25 is the rare moment where you can win time by advancing a pawn to your fourth rank by doing it in two moves rather than one. Real tortoise and the hare story here.
😂
I have won on the black side of the gambit 2 or 3 times. The first time was brutal, but I just thought about each move , step by step ...
It’s a scary gambit! Gotta be prepared!
Thank you so much for not saying the Lord's name in vain! New sub 😁
No problem! I love the Lord 🙏🏾
Thank you!
No problem!
We need the Netflix intro back ma man!
😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
That intro gonna make netflix jelly
😂
Good stuff man! Will try it soon! Can u play games n play the scotch gambit? Like play against random opponents on chess.com
Absolutely I’ll have a session for that! Thanks bro! 💯🔥😎
James Canty III maybe play against lower rated players so we can see the diff types of moves opponents play so I can finally reach the 1000 rating :D
Emperor Ethan 🤣 I’ll see what I can do!
James Canty III thx man haha
This is dope, i need to try this. Quick question what if instead of 5….dxc3 they do Na5 in the Be7 variation?
Great question it is rare. Be2 or d3 is the move
Nice horse!
😂😂😂😂
Hey James! I saw you're making a chessable course on the scotch gambit! Any rough estimate when this might be released?
In the works still a few months left!
Castle protect the King at all cost
great quality!
Thanks Kaelan!
Thanks 👍
No problem 👍
9:44 he missed the en passant. Bring the brick now.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Obi Wan would be proud of this playlist
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good explanation..
Thanks alot! Anything you would like to see?
@@JamesCantyIII
First of all I am very thankful for responding to my post/comment...
...Ruylopez is the most convenient opening often seen at master level to intermediate player....
Pls, make a video that covers all variations.....
Donakonda Vijay Kumar no problem! You got it!
thank you
You're welcome! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I like the italian, and after Nf6,I don't play Ng5. I play d4 exd4, 0-0
In 14:02 after black pieces capture in e5 with the queen cant we just put our rook in to e1 and we get a queen?
He takes the rook because it's undefended leading to an immediate checkmate 😬
After Bb4+ and c3 i've seen People trying Qf6 but it Just doesnt work. Just go Bg5 and take The bishop on b4 next :)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
every time Ive tried this the always start off weird asf making it now work lol
This video is the secret weapon
🔥🔥🔥
would this still work if black plays Caro-Kann or the Sicillian?
Not at all! Please be sure to check out the other playlist on the channel!
WOW 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Let's go need some time
YOU GET A PAWN
YOU GET A PAWN
YOU GET A PAWN
AND IF YOU LOOK UNDER YOUR CHAIR…. That’s your butt going bye bye… CHECKMATE! 😂

No entiendo pero creo que es buen camino
