    I've played the Fajarowicz variation for almost 50 years on many ocasions, but I still learned from this video. As it also gives the most important traps and ideas in a nutshell I strongly recommend it for the experienced player as well as for those, who want to add this phantastic line to their reportoire as a new surprise.
    Well made, great stuff and what a pleasure to see Jonathan having so much fun when showing the most stunning moves. One of the best chess lectures I've ever seen. Many thanks from Slovakia.

  • @DavidEmerling79
    @DavidEmerling79 2 года назад +2

    The ...Nxf7 trap is a recurring theme in several openings, many of which you have covered. Off the top of my head, it happens in the Scandanavia Defense/Tennison Gambit, Caro-Kann/Breyer Variation, and this opening. I'm sure there are others. Basically, it's something to look out for whenever the d-file is open and the queen's are facing each other.
    I enjoy your videos and particularly like your upbeat enthusiasm. Keep up the good work!

  • @DavidBergeron87
    @DavidBergeron87 2 года назад +1

    29:02 I didn't see Qe7, that's a high level move that eventually traps the white queen if played perfectly. I did see Qxd2 or bxd2 which simply wins a minor piece. I checked with stockfish and it's -6 Qe7 and -5.2 Qxd2 so both winning moves.
    Great video by the way! I want to try this gambit.

  • @johnjohannes5954
    @johnjohannes5954 2 года назад +2

    good job man! in general the b6 line alluring the Queen works if white has not played Nf3 (eg on a3 line). Even though Black traps the queen he has lost a Rook a minor piece and a pawn and thus the game if far from over.

  • @dank_meme23
    @dank_meme23 2 года назад +2

    nice queen trap! there is a similar queen trap I found when studying my Bc4 lines against the old sicilian : 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 e6 4.O-O d5 5.Bb5 a6 6.Bxc6+ bxc6 7.b3!? dxe4 8.Ne5 Qd4 9.Nc4 Qxa1?? 10.Bb2 Qxa2 11.Be5! {the queen is so trapped that we can worsen black's pawn structure before winning the queen, but Nc3 is also good} f6 12.Nc3 fxe5 13.Nxa2

  • @jimromero5625
    @jimromero5625 2 года назад

    Thanks for this Jonathan! At 15:21, instead of Bg3+, why not Bc5+? You'll still win the queen and lose the bishop whatever happens but you give white the opportunity to block the check in the wrong way and lose an EXTRA piece! E.g. if e3 or Be3 to block the check, you just take that piece with the bishop and THEN snaffle the queen. If king instead moves back to e1, you just play Bf2, sac the bishop and win the queen. In fact, this variation is so much better I'm tempted to keep it for myself :)

    @shanastroskyphazer8172 2 года назад

    Yeah this was an awesome lesson. Thanks ! I'm going to rewatch it again straight away maybe also another time after that also , so it all sticks in a bit better. I played this ages ago. I have been messing around with the Mokele Mbembe Alekhine, recently which has some similar ideas and one opponent that called it witchcraft as it forces you to remember a lot of defensive and attacking ideas for black. Had a surprising number of wins with it for black. While white can easily get into time trouble in Blitz Great surprise weapon But I had a fair share of cruel loses with it too and time trouble when white knows what to do against it. Gambit style !!

    I suck at chess, but love it and your videos! First time I've tried using content from your videos and it was perfect - mated them. White played f3 and I responded with bishop and then queen, knight, etc. and it was perfect. Felt a bit dirty though after just watching your video and getting so lucky with a bad move on white's part.

  • @elmworldacademy5212
    @elmworldacademy5212 2 года назад

    Quite interesting. Probably good enough for most amateur players and as quick blitzer. I have never considered such openings serious and never seen any studying material for those fishy gambits. And yet still would not fall into any trap set ups like in this Fajarowicz - did not know it has a name btw :) Played few games as white and chose Nd2 and a3 forcing quick exchanges with comfortable play for white. As for d6 reply with Bf4 developing bad bishop, protecting pawn e5 and keep black's position pressured and cramped. I am not a master though still app 2200 player. Still praise for author - it is always profitable to analyse tactical positions even if they are not correct Good luck!

  • @rickstermandude
    @rickstermandude 9 месяцев назад

    Often when I try to play the Budapest and its offshoots White plays a different move 2, so I guess one needs to have a few different openings ready, such as something against 2.Nf3 or 2.Nc3. I know there are several different choices available, but what, in your opinion, would be compatible in spirit with the Budapest?

  • @talljack6861
    @talljack6861 2 года назад +1

    Generally great stuff, but the Queen trap gambit is flawed. Put it in a strong computer with recent Stockfish. You showed "some random move" after Nc6, but if the move is not random and White plays Nd4 his threat of NxNc6 attacking the Black Queen voids the trap and White is more than +- 2.8 ahead regardless of what Black does. Black playing NxNd4 doesn't help either. White just plays QxNe4. Other than this, I love the traps shown here.

  • @XLGamer10
    @XLGamer10 2 года назад +3

    In the Nf3 Bb4+ line I found that black actually never wins the pawn back because white apparently can play Rd1 and Rd5 defending the pawn.
    1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 3. dxe5 Ne4 4. Nf3 Bb4+ 5. Bd2 Nxd2 6. Nbxd2 Nc6 (Qe7 transposes) 7. a3 Bxd2+ 8. Qxd2 Qe7 9. Qc3 O-O 10. Rd1 Re8 11. Rd5! (it's around +1.05) (black can't really win the pawn back because there aren't any pieces left that you can attack the pawn with. The moment you play d6 or f6 (why) white takes the pawn and will simply be a pawn up) A crazy computer line that I found after this is: 11... b6 12. h4! Bb7 13. Rh3!! Na5 14. Rd3 (black can't win the pawn with Bxf3 because at the end of the line white will take the d7 pawn with the rook and be +2.5) At the end of this line the eval hovers around +0.95 and +1.20. This was analysed with Stockfish 15 NNUE
