*applause* YOU ARE THE WINNER OF THE BEST COMMENT IN A CHESS VIDEO OF ALL TIME. here's your trophy, careful, it's made out of sacrificed king chess pieces, it can break very easily.
lol I remember watching this channel when I started playing chess 5 years ago. I would play the openings shown in these videos hoping my opponents would fall into a trap but it _rarely, rarely_ happened. Thing is, when you're a beginner your opponents don't know any theory and they seldom play the moves you want for the trap to occur. When you get better, your opponents already know the trap or they're good enough to spot it before it's too late.
I am a novice chess player and I would like to thank you for your videos. I play chess via an app and I could not get a handle on the game for a long time. Then I watched your video on your ten favorite chess openings and I was introduced to the Fried liver attack which has opened up the game of chess for me tremendously. This trap is interesting and I think it will be yet another tool in my arsenal. Thanks again.
That was very strategic play and many people I know would fall for this amazing trap.

It's pretty common that my opponents decline the e4 pawn, I'd say two out of three. So If you are planning to practice Blackmar-Diemer, you should definately look at the sidelines too. Caro-Kann advanced (1. d4 d5, 2. e4, c6, 3. e5) is one of your best options to continue :)
@@MrNoodles34 or they don't fall for traps. Traps on work on amateurs. For example I don't know all the traps in the fried liver attack and the ones I do I don't know too extensively but common sense tells me if my opponent allows the fried liver, white should always better if they play the best moves so I know if my opponent plays it either a) he's a moron b) he's going for a trap and I just know to look for it like if I just don't take on f7 after d5 exd5 Na5, then I'm just up a pawn for the whole game or if he plays bxf3 I just don't take back, it's common sense. In this opening for example, instead of being greedy, black just doesn't take d4 and just develops his pieces and is comfortably a pawn up with better pawn structure, how can that be bad for black? All in all any decent players knows that you should always develop your pieces first, and if you are up 1 pawn, you don't need to risk the game by grabbing a 2nd pawn
I finally pulled this off!! Wasnt perfect, but i won because my opponent took my queen. Thank you for this video! Im getting better one video at a time!
I love playing this gambit with white! Honestly it usually leads to great positions for me (I’m at 1750 at bullet chess). However the most common move I usually see that can lead to an easy win, is after Queen takes on f3, black will sometimes play bishop g4. And then from there I just take on b7 with the queen. Usually black will usually play Knight it d7 or c6, then knight to c5 is just winning for white at that point
LOL I like it when I am intentionally giving away a queen (for checkmate) and my opponent falls for my trap and gets too excited about being up a Queen.
Your videos are awesome man. So clear and informative, but also entertaining to watch. There are so many solid videos out there that can really help your game, but they are just boring to watch. Great stuff
Played this at a tournament 1600-level. Had success with it at blitz games, but definitely not at a tournament. Once your opponent puts their Queen on g5 to avoid the trap, you get some nice attacking play but none of it is sound enough to really dent black's defense. Once black develops, you've basically just given up two pawns and complete centre control of the pawns for nothing. I spent the rest of the game in an epic struggle to win pawns back to make it even for the endgame.
Great trap!! I really like the Blackmar-Diemer gambit especially when Black plays the Scandinavian Defence against me which sometimes can bring me to loose up my king.. I'll use this trap when playing the BDG.. Thanks a lot, Kevin!!
a discovered attack is where a piece "blocking" the attack of another one of your pieces is moved. Because the piece moved in this case also places check, this means that the discovered attack lets white pick up the black queen.
Hey, Nice demonstration, but I want to point on one specific move after 5:46. Why Can't Black's bishop Capture the Rook straight after the Check(before moving his queen back to c5), This would further disrupt his(white's) game and no longer black would be prone on the d file by the rook..rest of the game will be taken care smoothly.
thank you so much ^^ i'm not a tournament player.. used to play in tournaments when i was a kid.. but still ur videos are so catchy that i watch them just for fun.. chess is a gr8 hobby to have :)
I've played over 1000 games since first watching this video, and not once did I ever get a position that manifested into anything close to this. One day...maybe.
I played this variation several times in years past, and the looks of my opponents' faces when i played Nb5 after playing Bg4... "oh wow, i won a queen for a bishop", until they realize the queen was poisoned after I instantly play Nxc7#... the shocked reaction from my opponents was priceless. 😂 i have not played the blackmar-diemer gambit in over 2 years as the average rating of my opponents are over 1700. They will likely not fall for this trap.
I tried this trap, and it worked 1/3, which was still awesome though because I love this trap. The two times I couldn't use it, was when my opponent, as i move knight to B5, moves his knight to D7, blocking the D file from my rook. What do I do in this case ?
Brilliant! I'm going to try this out on my friends. Still, assuming that the queen doesn't move to b4 (1:20) and instead moves back to somewhere in the d file, then what? That way, you won't be able to castle. It's quite a gamble, though it's very effective if they fall for the trap. Anyone?
@@VoraXYZ it dosn't mater if he dont fall for it than you take his, than you have a much more opened game than he does plus he can't contest your pawn he because your knight defend it so you are even but whit more options
I was thinking for some time why Black can't just take the Rook with a Bishop at 5:46 (Bgxd2), but as doing it in my head, I kept forgetting that after capturing the Rook, the Bishop will no longer be defending d7 square, so I kept including him (along with the f6 Knight) into defenders, thus missing the mate sequences :D Great video, thank you! I learned something new again :-)
But.. that's just losing for white though. After 3. Qxb5+, you get Bd7 with a tempo on the queen. Can't take it because it's protected by the knight, so the white queen has to move. At that point, g2 and e3 will be hanging, and of course you choose to defend the bishop. So after 4.Qb3 protecting the bishop, you have Qxg2 winning a pawn. White couldn't play something like 4.Rd4, because you get Qxe3+ and if 5.Kb2, there's Qe1+ 6.Rd1 Qxd1#. If 5.Kd1, then Qxd4+ and blacks completely winning. Therefore, white is forced to protect bishop with 4.Qb3, then after Qxg2 with tempo on the rook, you have to lose the knight too or else you lose the rook. The knight has no where to go and after Queen takes knight and it's completely winning for black. e6 to Be7 is coming and you can't stop black from castling without sacrificing anything and after castle, white would be in a huge disadvantage tempo-wise and piece-wise
Having loads of fun with this opening, although when I've tried it on someone with a much higher rating I've tended to get pretty hammered. Great videos though and a great channel. Much appreciated...
0:34 I guess for black is a good point to stop accepting the gambit after white pawn f3 and protecting the e4 pawn with a bishop instead. 1:11 Or alternatively Queen d4 to d6 after white bishop moves c1 to e3
Just from my own personal experience, I think alot of the basic traps actually don't work on people who are total beginners, because there moves often don't follow any logical pattern and are often somewhat random and pointless. Alot of the traps depend on you making specific moves but they also depend on the opponent making one of the 2 or 3 most sensible moves. A beginner will often do things that make no sense and are unpredictable, but if often ends up "accidentally" messing up what you were trying to do. Any thoughts?
Love the traps. You have really made me a better chess player. Now I'm into studying chess computers and the algorithms they use. Unfortunately, since there are no chess clubs nearby, I spend all my time playing vs the computer. The only thing about that is chess computers are materialistic, meaning if they see an opportunity to go for a kill, they will nearly always do it. Gambits nearly always work, for instance. And outposts sometimes get blown up, even if it costs the computer a minor piece. It really depends on the algorithms used by the chess engine, but a good many of them will be materialistic.
I do, sometimes. Only thing I don't like about playing chess online is sometimes real life gets in the way, and I or my opponent has to go "AFK" long enough to time out. I prefer real chess face to face when I'm playing against someone. Either that or with a computer set on moderately high difficulty so I can practice these techniques without losing spectacularly.
That said, I think I will definitely be using the Blackmar Gambit (and hopefully the Halosar trap) when I start with 1. e4 and black pulls 1... d5. I respond to that with my Queens pawn (2. d5) already, so this opening adds on to that nicely. - Looks great for speed chess, lots of open play! - Seems great for getting new players into the skill of playing an open game without a queen, in particular handling bishop/knight play. Against a good player I'd be hesitant to play this though.
8:17 I really like the fact that we are threatening Nd6+ double check, forking the king and queen with our knight and black cannot capture the knight because of the queen and also cannot capture the queen because of the knight, which forces black to move his king.
dev daga I believe you can’t castle if an opponents piece is checking a spot between the king and the rook. Which in his case the queen would be checking the d1 square between his rook and king, so he can’t castle.
Mangesh Pawar you can play Bishop F1 to D3. Now you can castle and they most likely will move one of their pawns. You can then move ur bishop on d3 back or to e2 giving more control over the center. Now you’re attacking his queen with the rook. Most likely they will move the queen out of the way or even try to attack ur queen but at that point everything is setup.
Cute trap, but I'm not convinced. After 7...Qxf3, Nxf3 Black just plays 8...c6. This prevents incursion by the White queen's knight. If Black plays too ambitiously then maybe you can use your superior development to attack weak points in the position, but instead black can just "turtle up" and play e6 Be7 0-0 etc. Once Black's position is secure, he can advance either the e or c pawn and open the position up. With no central pawns, White can't pressure the Black pieces or use pawn levers to create holes in the Black position. The only weaknesses in Black's position are the central and queenside dark squares, but you can't really coordinate to attack them effectively. Even in an optimal position you might land a knight on d6 or something, but this hardly worth 2 pawns.
I still feel like a good player could develop with a tight defensive positional game that could negate the development advantages and lead to black eventually leading with two pawns into the end game. Once the queens trade this seems like a pretty hard opening to get right and White is forced to be super ultra aggressive at the end of the opening or it will get squeezed out in the end by the pawn disadvantage.
@masterjosch Because if he takes rook he will get checkmated: After Kb1, Bxd1 (bishop takes rook), Qc6 check and forcing Kd8, Qxc7 check again forcing Ke8, Nd6, forcing exd6, Bf5 check and leaving black 1 move before mate, Nd7, Qxd7 checkmate.
Watched this video...used the trap...he defended different then usual. instead of knight to E4 he went bishop to F5, so i said screw it and continued the trap anyways..he never used the queen to take the pawn thought so my D4 pawn made it all the way to F7 forcing his king out and it still worked beautifully
@doomedenigma2 at your 9th move with the white queen checking at c6, black doesnt necessarily have to play Kd8, black can use his remaining knight to block the check right? sry i dont know how to use the proper notation like you did to show the steps. :P
Just remember, when you play people that aren't good enough to fall into your gambit/trap, more often then not they actually put themself in equal or worst position, you just have to find the answer. Those positions come from grandmasters thinking about the best possible moves to play after you play your move. Most moves that fall out the lines if not studied before hands are usually just as bad.
wtf you are analysing this as if all moves are forced. ''he's going to do this, we're going to do that''. if the trap doesnt work immediately, game will be extremely tactical with many variations.
Because, you of 2 years ago, this video is 11 minutes. There are entire books that delve deep into all the variations of specific openings and gambits that you can look into if you feel so inclined. To give you a comfortably lengthed video here on RUclips, Kevin only goes over the "main lines" (what usually happens given that the other player accepts the gambit/falls for the trap).
This was extremely helpful. Super awesome opening. I’ve used it 3 times so far on chess.com and won all three games. No ones fell for the quick mate though. They usually play pawn instead of knight giving the king an escape square.
Assuming we are playing white, At 3:13 will it be more smarter for white to play Nd5 instead of Nb5, because the following scenarios might happen : Note * means takes. BLACK WHITE Bg4 Nd5 B * f3 Nc7#(check mate). Alternatively : BLACK WHITE Bg4 Nd5 N * d5 Q * d5 (both queen and rook lined up on d5). Mate should happen in the next move in favour of white.
I had to bring that part up because if the Queen takes the knight right above it, now your queen is trapped or if you take his queen and put him in check, he will move his (c7) pawn to (c6). you couldn't take his bishop with your queen since his knight will take your Queen o.O chances are in this case Queen will ALWAYS take the knight on (b5). unless of course you want to take out both Queens . lol
5:18 what if black bishop takes Rd1? if white knight takes c7 then just move the king to d8. black won't gonna lose their Queen because of knight at a6.
mannn, I remember going through all the thought processes that he was describing. I didn't fall for the mate in 1 but i ended up losing the game because of that brutal attack! And I thought my skewer was genius!
1:17 what if Black Queen D8 preventing White to castle at Queens side, followed by g6 or e6, preparing Bishop to g7 or e7 an then castle at kings side.? Can white stop it?
At 3:40, what if his Queen takes my knight? The best thing I can come up with is white keeping his Queen for being down a knight and a rook, or both keep the Queen and white is only one rook down?
4:01 If a move earlier black took rook and then the king isnt cut off then what ??? and also if he takes the rook the discovery isnt any good since now he could just move king .....Anything i could know that i am missing ?

3:39 "Keep in mind at the same time we are attacking his queen"

How are we attacking his queen?
He can move the knight to check the king, and in doing so he allows his queen to attack the opponents queen
a discovered attack is where a piece "blocking" the attack of another one of your pieces is moved. Because the piece moved in this case also places check, this means that the discovered attack lets white pick up the black queen.
I think it is because of the bishop at f1
He meant king
Yeah he messed up a lot on this video

Qxb7 is the best option, although if you get your queen out of the way, you can play Nxc7, and win the rook on a8.
More people should be commenting on the "moran" statement. That was pure gold
Brilliant! I'm going to try this out on my friends. Still, assuming that the queen doesn't move to b4 (1:20) and instead moves back to somewhere in the d file, then what? That way, you won't be able to castle. It's quite a gamble, though it's very effective if they fall for the trap.
Anyone?
You don't have to castle to get the room on the d-file. You can try simply moving the rook next to the king, attacking the queen.
Oh, never thought of that. Thanks very much! :)
Nooo... damn it, they after taking the first pawn, they usually never proceed to taking the second pawn, so this trap can't work.

7:21 What if the black bishop move to g4 first before the queen
+wanderlust White queen can take on b7, can he not?
5:29 Here, 1. Nxc7+ Nxc7 2. Bb5+ Nxb5 3. Qxb5+ simply forces a mate. Obviously far better than simply taking a knight.
But.. that's just losing for white though. After 3. Qxb5+, you get Bd7 with a tempo on the queen. Can't take it because it's protected by the knight, so the white queen has to move. At that point, g2 and e3 will be hanging, and of course you choose to defend the bishop. So after 4.Qb3 protecting the bishop, you have Qxg2 winning a pawn. White couldn't play something like 4.Rd4, because you get Qxe3+ and if 5.Kb2, there's Qe1+ 6.Rd1 Qxd1#. If 5.Kd1, then Qxd4+ and blacks completely winning. Therefore, white is forced to protect bishop with 4.Qb3, then after Qxg2 with tempo on the rook, you have to lose the knight too or else you lose the rook. The knight has no where to go and after Queen takes knight and it's completely winning for black. e6 to Be7 is coming and you can't stop black from castling without sacrificing anything and after castle, white would be in a huge disadvantage tempo-wise and piece-wise

That said, I think I will definitely be using the Blackmar Gambit (and hopefully the Halosar trap) when I start with 1. e4 and black pulls 1... d5. I respond to that with my Queens pawn (2. d5) already, so this opening adds on to that nicely.
- Looks great for speed chess, lots of open play!
- Seems great for getting new players into the skill of playing an open game without a queen, in particular handling bishop/knight play.
Against a good player I'd be hesitant to play this though.
What if the queen doesn't take?
Luis Ramos Then the gambit is denied? And move on to another game
A lot of people I play against they don't capture the pain by queen and it sucks
Atom Nous sk we just sacrificed pieces worth 5 ?
8:17 I really like the fact that we are threatening Nd6+ double check, forking the king and queen with our knight and black cannot capture the knight because of the queen and also cannot capture the queen because of the knight, which forces black to move his king.
When I played, this trap has never worked. When I push bishop to e3, my opponent did q d6.
Other opponents never move their bishop to g4.
MrNitrodude50 then u should castle , the queen will automatically go to other square
dev daga I believe you can’t castle if an opponents piece is checking a spot between the king and the rook. Which in his case the queen would be checking the d1 square between his rook and king, so he can’t castle.
@@basamfuad7054 So how to beat opponent in this situation? In my case when I played bishop to e3 opponent played queen to d7.
Mangesh Pawar you can play Bishop F1 to D3. Now you can castle and they most likely will move one of their pawns. You can then move ur bishop on d3 back or to e2 giving more control over the center. Now you’re attacking his queen with the rook. Most likely they will move the queen out of the way or even try to attack ur queen but at that point everything is setup.
at 5:43 why can't white just take the pawn on c7 with the knight for the same check mate that was threatened earlier? Instead the king is moved?
Amanda Blaise because the king is in check
Cute trap, but I'm not convinced. After 7...Qxf3, Nxf3 Black just plays 8...c6. This prevents incursion by the White queen's knight. If Black plays too ambitiously then maybe you can use your superior development to attack weak points in the position, but instead black can just "turtle up" and play e6 Be7 0-0 etc. Once Black's position is secure, he can advance either the e or c pawn and open the position up. With no central pawns, White can't pressure the Black pieces or use pawn levers to create holes in the Black position. The only weaknesses in Black's position are the central and queenside dark squares, but you can't really coordinate to attack them effectively. Even in an optimal position you might land a knight on d6 or something, but this hardly worth 2 pawns.
I still feel like a good player could develop with a tight defensive positional game that could negate the development advantages and lead to black eventually leading with two pawns into the end game.
Once the queens trade this seems like a pretty hard opening to get right and White is forced to be super ultra aggressive at the end of the opening or it will get squeezed out in the end by the pawn disadvantage.
Nice trap! No doubt I gonna try!
@masterjosch Because if he takes rook he will get checkmated: After Kb1, Bxd1 (bishop takes rook), Qc6 check and forcing Kd8, Qxc7 check again forcing Ke8, Nd6, forcing exd6, Bf5 check and leaving black 1 move before mate, Nd7, Qxd7 checkmate.
if black already wins 1 pawn...which is enough to claim a strong static advantage....i dont understand why it makes any sense for him to play qxd5
At 1:16, how would you continue to play this game after qd8?
Why am I watching this? I’ve never played chess.
4:53 If he moves Rooke to C8 then take with Queen to C8 is check mate. I don't see the point in moving to move the Queen to A6
You're an idiot. If white takes the rook on c8, then the bishop on g4 is going to re-take the queen.
1:51 you said pin instead of skewer
@masterjosch I tried playing it out, white will be gaining a material advantage after Kxd5-Qxe3, Nxc7-Kd8 (or d7), Nxa8. White is up a knight.
5:33 Move knight to c7 gg
+UnderA But it was black's turn
If they didsomething wrong then it's a gg
He was forced to move his king because he was in Check from the queen.
Then black knight takes white knight after
Thats a nasty trap! Thanks for the upload, will add this to the arsenal!
I've played this a lot. 9 out of 10, i won.
This is the anti-noob trap
Leonardo Zanetti actually tho. I taught my little brother this who can't play chess for shit and he gets 3rd in a 32 person tourney lmao
Andrew Park Lol
This and similar gambits fair very well in lower level play. Even in master games I think it shows up once in a blue moon and does okay.
Yo ,how ya lose plz it’s a trap.
Watched this video...used the trap...he defended different then usual. instead of knight to E4 he went bishop to F5, so i said screw it and continued the trap anyways..he never used the queen to take the pawn thought so my D4 pawn made it all the way to F7 forcing his king out and it still worked beautifully
Lmao thought I was watching this with RainyMood
@doomedenigma2 at your 9th move with the white queen checking at c6, black doesnt necessarily have to play Kd8, black can use his remaining knight to block the check right? sry i dont know how to use the proper notation like you did to show the steps. :P
nice
Just remember, when you play people that aren't good enough to fall into your gambit/trap, more often then not they actually put themself in equal or worst position, you just have to find the answer.
Those positions come from grandmasters thinking about the best possible moves to play after you play your move. Most moves that fall out the lines if not studied before hands are usually just as bad.
wtf you are analysing this as if all moves are forced. ''he's going to do this, we're going to do that''. if the trap doesnt work immediately, game will be extremely tactical with many variations.
Because, you of 2 years ago, this video is 11 minutes. There are entire books that delve deep into all the variations of specific openings and gambits that you can look into if you feel so inclined. To give you a comfortably lengthed video here on RUclips, Kevin only goes over the "main lines" (what usually happens given that the other player accepts the gambit/falls for the trap).
yea i hate people that make stupid comments like this.. Like do you really expect him to go over EVERY single move possible? gimme a break
ikr they probs dun even play chess
What a dumb . Then make ur own video with every move of other pieces
He’s going over a common example of what could happen
Sad to see this channel so underrrated
Every time i watch a video like this I start a game, get 2 moves in then forget wtf I'm supposed to do next.
I'll use this at a big chess tournament I have next week. It sound like an awesome trap
This was extremely helpful. Super awesome opening. I’ve used it 3 times so far on chess.com and won all three games. No ones fell for the quick mate though. They usually play pawn instead of knight giving the king an escape square.
Assuming we are playing white,
At 3:13 will it be more smarter for white to play Nd5 instead of Nb5, because the following scenarios might happen :
Note * means takes.
BLACK WHITE
Bg4 Nd5
B * f3 Nc7#(check mate).
Alternatively :
BLACK WHITE
Bg4 Nd5
N * d5 Q * d5 (both queen and rook lined up on d5).
Mate should happen in the next move in favour of white.
I had to bring that part up because if the Queen takes the knight right above it, now your queen is trapped or if you take his queen and put him in check, he will move his (c7) pawn to (c6). you couldn't take his bishop with your queen since his knight will take your Queen o.O chances are in this case Queen will ALWAYS take the knight on (b5). unless of course you want to take out both Queens . lol
Hi really like the way you explain things. It's both interesting and clear. Thanks. From Noel
5:18 what if black bishop takes Rd1? if white knight takes c7 then just move the king to d8. black won't gonna lose their Queen because of knight at a6.
yes u can do that, and he didnt see that,i tought i was only one lol
This opening certainly offers lot of attacking chances for white. White has total control of files and diagonals in this opening!
10:50 to block the rook you could move knight to d7 or move it to e4 then d6 next
At 5:35 if black decides not to take with queen but instead play g4 bishop taking rook on d1? What would be the best plays for white?
8:18 what prevents black queen from taking white queen?
9:09 what if he does Queen to h4 check then what do i do
you could do pawn to g3 that would be a good move to make i don't see how it can backfire on you from there
Gotta love all the tactics and gotta hope I remember enough of them to put them to use.
mannn, I remember going through all the thought processes that he was describing. I didn't fall for the mate in 1 but i ended up losing the game because of that brutal attack! And I thought my skewer was genius!
Thanks very much for this. I love it aesthetically, even if I end up losing with it.
At the video time 9:10, if Black instead moves the queen to D8, would white still have the same advantage?
At 5:26 you can take c7 pawn with queen then knight a6 takes queen then knight b5 takes knight c7 then checkmate
I like how the game ended as soon as the Queen is bait. We all know it. The rest was just annihilation of opportunity
1:17 what if Black Queen D8 preventing White to castle at Queens side, followed by g6 or e6, preparing Bishop to g7 or e7 an then castle at kings side.?
Can white stop it?
At 3:40, what if his Queen takes my knight? The best thing I can come up with is white keeping his Queen for being down a knight and a rook, or both keep the Queen and white is only one rook down?
Cool lil trap!
4:01 If a move earlier black took rook and then the king isnt cut off then what ??? and also if he takes the rook the discovery isnt any good since now he could just move king .....Anything i could know that i am missing ?
