- Chess Openings: Learn to Play the Falkbeer Countergambit!
Many attacking chess players will go to the King's Gambit with the white pieces. If white plays this, he/she wanting you to accept the gambit, get a lead in development, and then attack your king, checkmate your king, win the game, and go home. I don't think it is a mistake to take the pawn if you're prepared, but usually white is very comfortable in these variations. Instead, we aren't going to sit around and let white attack us. We are going to attack white! Instead of taking the gambit, we are going to offer a gambit to white!
The Falkbeer Countergambit is a very aggressive, dynamic, and sound chess opening. I myself used to be a King's Gambit player, but I gave it up because of the Falkbeer Countergambit. It was very annoying to play against, and I myself found white's positions both passive and awkward. I eventually went to the Giuoco Piano, as I count naturally develop without having to face a dangerous opening like the Falkbeer Countergambit. If you're anything like Garry Kasparov or Mikhail Tal, you don't want to just be up a pawn and play defense. No, you want to play attacking chess, win the game fast, and go home! We hope you enjoy learning how to play the Falkbeer Countergambit!

I enjoy this idea as an answer to annoying King's gambit! Also, I suppose, not many average players know this!
Thanks for sharing!
No problem Gabriel! I’m happy it could help, ya there’s some other options against the King’s Gambit I’ll eventually post. I don’t think the King’s Gambit is that strong if black is prepared for it.
I play the King’s Gambit in bullet chess all the time and rarely encounter this defense. I know when I see it the opponent is prepared !
Hey Travis, well said! Ya this is the number 1 response for black against the King's Gambit, but it's hard to find if you haven't already been introduced to it!
The King's Gambit is theoretically unsound. Falkbeer is the only opening where Black gets the optimal pawn formation e5 and d5, - in just in two moves, without fighting, - thus demonstrating White's theoretical error. It is only natural that all the lines are bad for White.
Couldn't agree more!
Wow thats so underrated, this education material is highest quality like others youtubers eric rosen or gothamchess. Keep it up man!
Thanks Linas! Appreciate you brotha!
Great video. I'm really enjoying your content and style.
Thanks I appreciate it!
I need to learn this cold, as an Elephant Gambit player, in case they throw out that gambit pawn insread of that f knigt. My old defense was the perfectly classic developing 2...B.c5 Thanks, Solomon!
Hey Alan! Ya this is a great system that has many similarities to the Elephant Gambit, and one thing is for sure with both, and that white is usually not well prepared for either.
VERY good insights!!!
Glad you liked it John!
There are some holes in the story after 1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5 3.exd5 exf4 4.Sf3 Sf6 5.c4 c6 * white does not need to take on c6
Wow! I will definitely try this! But at 5:11, why can't black play Bf4 defending the pawn, instead of a6, a6 just seems weird to me... But thank you so much for sharing!
Looks like you're preparing to play this against me. 😁
Bb5+ is important for white instead of Bb4. You ask Black if they are going to push the pawn and exchange. White might also have ideas of going Kf2 to swing the rook around. You should not try holding onto the pawn. White should be comfortable having to King walk. Lots of King Walks playing these positions.
That’s true! Got to be comfortable walking the king in the King’s Gambit variations!
5:58 why cant white go knight to h3? i looked at it for a solid minute and i really just cant see it
What’s up bro. Ya so if Nh3 we can play Bxh3 and then White plays gxh3 has doubled isolated pawns... then we play Qh4+ and white would have to play Kd2 in which we play exf4.... or Ng3 in which we play exf4 and we win the knight. Hope this helps!
@@TheChessGiant oohh didnt see that, thanks bro
do you yourself a solid and watch this at x1.5speed.
Thanks a lot for this so interesting gambit! 😊👍♟️
