At 10:30 you forgot to mention one important aspect of theory... You have to say "Oh NO ! My Queen..." after knight e4 to ensure that your opponant buys it !
yess,, I love the psychological aspect of chess tournaments - trying to get opponents to fall into your traps. Like a quite ugh no or an exasperated moan when you offer the bait.
I always sigh after setting up a sacrifice for my opponent. Players who you often play with won't buy into it. Can tell from experience :(
call an ambulance... but not for me
@@benshaw5382 Or when you desperately look at another side of the board hoping they don't notice something.
HAHAHAHA
White player: **Accepts stafford gambit**
His kingside rook: *shit*
His g pawn: **shit**
L
His kingside rook:wtf was that
Lol
White player: *Declines stafford gambit*
His queenside rook: shit
Me: can't wait to use this
Also me when playing: the person I'm playing doesn't do as the video says
that means the opponent is playing bad you can just beat him without gambit🤗🤗
ᄋᄋ i tried againts stockfish and stockfish didnt play any of the lines either
@@ryannoonan5518 did stockfish reject the gambit altogether or did they accept and play alternate lines?
Parker Hess i set it up so that the gambit was already accepted but after pawn takes on c6 white played f3 😐
I have lichess for two days. Have seen this video, first game, he did as he was supposed to an was mate in 7 :)
RUclips is best
This is gonna blow up like crazy!!! I am a Stafford Gambit player and even I didn't know some of the lines!
@@MemeTDYT I sometimes play the fishing pole trap too!
What if he played h2 to prevent my knight from attacking the f2 pawn what do u do then?
What do you do if white moves queen to f3 after knight to e4
I love this gambit
please make a study on lichess and post the link here
Who's here after Rosen's video lol?
lolwhat yesme me
I love to learn gambits
yup
Yup
In this video the Rosen's checkmate pattern was never covered
Literally just watching this video because people keep ganking me with the fucking Stafford Gambit on Lichess...
haha that's awesome. Did the video help? I need you to gank back and let them know you run this place.
Don't accept this gambit bro ._.

@@chesswebsite Hey, what about bishop to e5 directly?
For 6:20, what if after Qh4 your opponent simply takes your knight with his?
@@andrewxu3602 I’m not no expert but I could imagine just taking back with your queen forking the rook on h1
@@harmanlidhar1439 the pawn isnt pushed yet
Love this opening. Never seen it before. Definitely will try it.
Gambit?? or Opening
Eric rosen is somewhere yelling at you for not seeing it before
Oh no your queen
Go look up Eric rosen he plays it a lot. Also he plays knight takes e4 and yells. OH NO MY QUEEN. My beautiful queen *tries to hide smile* *queen is taken* ok that’s check and checkmate haha
No you wont mobody is so stupid to accept this
I think I would fall for most of those traps myself. Can’t wait to try this one on my coworkers over lunch
This really is one of the deadliest openings I’ve seen so far. So note to self: never accept.
Just don’t let that knight get to e4 it’s a knightmare to deal with
@@Dortchskii the pun
I always accepted. Most people think they have you but this gambit is not to hard to refute. Once you survive the opening, they are usually in trouble. They are not used to having to play this position out.
@@mjfolkerts because they don't know how to play Stafford. If it was Eric Rosen or Me I can beat you easily. They only rely on the lines if the opponent decides to not follow the lines they'll get confused and don't know what to do. The Goal in Stafford is to continue to make unlimited threats so your opponent will have a headache finding all the threats and will eventually fall to the trap. Those players you've encounter are probably beginners at Stafford.
@@maiageia1240 the threats aren't that unlimited if you play the main line as white and easily stabilise with a +2 from move 5
The best chess guides on RUclips by FAR. Not only do you not go off into meaningless chat, but you also add the notation in the video description along with critical move time stamps. Thank you so much for all your effort- truly appreciated.
Thank you for the kind words. Glad to hear you find the content valuable. Best on RUclips means the world to me.
Eric Rosen would be proud !!
I've never much liked the Petrov before but this is all I'm going to be playing from now on. Thanks for the video Kevin!
That's awesome. Welcome to Petrov family.
I think this is the best tricks i ever played won around 150 players with this and won a lot of tournaments tq bro
Me: Wow what a good opening let me try it
Also me: *forgets what to do when playing against a person*
You haven’t repeated it enough

thx
The Stafford gambit, if not responded to properly, will devastate white! I have had the opportunity to use it several times and thus far it is undefeated!
5:57 the threat is check mate on f7 .. not taking the rook
f2?
Watching your channel has improved my play in 2 days went from 1413 to 1521 your a good explainer n thank you 👍👍
That's awesome to hear.
This is so comprehensive! I love this!!!
Stockfish plays pawn F3 and this prevents everything from working...
Yeah but people watch Finegold so...
Maky Tondr ew imagine watching fine gold yuck
@@makytondr8607 Why would anyone do that
If trying to gambit a bot, reconsider life
@@oliversmith9737 I think he just means he learned how to refute the gambit by looking at what a program does. Reconsider youtube commenting.

thanx bro it really helped
You’re the real mvp
What happens if after bc5 they play h3?
NIce one, will try it. WAiting for the declined version.
Thanks
Thanks for this instructive video, now I know how to open up my opponent's annoying defences.
At 13:35 he says queen to d2 but it's really queen to d4*. Almost perfect tutorial! Thanks for the info. I input all of these moves into chess position trainer to study them all once. Very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Very informative channel. Hope you feature more gambit openings. Thanks & more power.
In 14:55 stockfish says that its +11(massive advantage for white). And when you analyze the position for a few seconds, you can see that black actually can't keep the attack going on (d3 is coming)...
that how these video makers play. They just skip the troubling part. They would make your point in other video named How to tackle stafford gambit.
2:40 after white king moves out of the way theres a pretty cool line with Bg2 and if black gets a little greedy they might take the pawn and lose the queen to Bxc6 check discovered attack on the queen
0:55 Options covered in this lesson: e5, d3, and Kc3
1:30 1st Line Pawn push e5
2:00 Best move from white d4
2:14 Best line if white g3
2:56 Best line if white Be3
4:00 2nd Line d3; black plays Bc5 4:15 wins queen
4:45 if white Be3; black takes Be3
What happens when at move 7 white plays Qe2 to prevent the threat?
what do i do if my opponent plays Qe2 on the first theory.?
This keeps stopping me too
I looked this video exactly to see if there was theory about that
Oh I like this a lot! I have had this position before and did not realized any of these traps. Definitely going to use this. Thanks 👍 from the great explanation :)
I believe another variation plays h7 and puts the knight on g4(fishing pole idea) if be2 is played. Then black can play qd6, threatening mate, which leads to white to playing g3 and black playing qxg3 which leads to mate.
In the Nc3 variation, white doesn't have to play g3 to attack the queen. He can just capture the e4 knight and eliminate the threat of Qxf2
I ve been watching this video for 2 hours now, discovered flaws and ways to come around some of them. It s very easy to mess up.
what about Qe2 after Knight to e4 at the opening?
I like how he is acting that the opponent is an idiot.
been watching these "Kevin from the Chess Website" vids for a while now...before all the twitch streaming etc...bare bones, well explained...simply layout...just the basics of great chess instruction before going down the rabbit hole of Finegold, Nakamura, Brahs, etc. lol... (all of whom are great too, btw)
Great video...I'm going to use this as my default defense as black. I love the opportunity to wrestle the initiative away from white in the opening and go on the attack! I had never heard of this, but I'm new too :-)
Wow...this seems rlly nice and u make great content so I’m honored to me subscribed
what about queen to e2 in the first variation?
As black, I reached the exact same position at 1:56 minutes then white played Qe2 & I was toast!. Wasn't sure what to do since it was a blitz game. I checked the engine which had white up at about +1.5 pawns with this position... bummer.
Nc5 bringing knight back, or Bf5 protecting the knight.
Can i know whats the best move (for black) after white pushed pawn e5 (i play Ne4) and he goes Qe2. What can i do from here, as tactics :x
Finally got someone with the queen sac today and it was glorious. But Mr Rosen would be disappointed as I did not say, "Oh no, my Queen"
5:13 Qf2 mat !
its white's move after queen h4,so white moves g3 avoiding mate
You didn’t mention any strategies if opponent plays queen F3. I’ve tried this gambit several times against A.I. And every response is queen F3. I feel like there’s not much advantage with that response.
I came here just to see what do do w/ QF3. Can’t figure it out and no video addresses it that I’ve found.
On what move?
Maybe I'm missing what you mean by "black is down a pawn *and* a material"
What material? Black is only down a pawn
Nc6 knight?
pawn in material
I've already one a few games with this. Avoids boring 4 knights and Giuoco pianissimos too.
can't wait for the declined video
It's out. Go crazy.
Very good explanation of this thanks
I love when king side opened. It make rook more active when castle but must be double becareful.
11:10 this is an alternative Legal Mate, isn't it?
Waiting for declined on this. Make a video on declined line plz... 🙂
4. d3, 5. f3... and probably castle long... 1:0
Awesome video for this gambit! thumb up for sure. Thank you
Skip to 00:24 for the Stafford Gambit. Up to that he is showing what *isn't* the Stafford Gambit.
e5 1:30, d4 1:57, d3 4:06, Nc3 6:24
I’ve been working on a stronger defensive game lately. Like setting up traps. All the people I run across and play they are 100 aggressive and are always on the attack. What’s starting to happen as I get better with traps is,they walk right into them. I’ve gotten pretty good at settling up wind mills. A rook & bishop working together is pretty damn deadly.
Oh no! My queen!
So funny. I didn’t realize how important simply giving up a pawn was until I started taking chess seriously lol
what about white pawn f3 after you play biship c5. you cant move your knight to g4.
This is a really good video with all the lines.
Can you please do a Stafford gambit declined line? Everyone like so that Kevin can see this comment!
Could you do a renewed top ten favorite chess opening list? You havent done one in like, 6 years lmao
In the e5 line, the video neglects to mention (after Black plays Qh4) that White can play Nxe4, and White should be fine after Black plays Qxe4 inviting White's response Qe2. Black moves its Q, and White plays c3 intending d4 to protect the e5 pawn and solidify White's position.
In my above comment, I am referring to the position arising in the e5 line after White plays N3 and Black plays Qh4.
bro u the best chess teacher on yt, lov yo vids
Ke2 is not just checkmate with Bg4++, but can also be mate with Qf2++
At 13:46 I would hate taking back the pawn opening lines against my own king and throwing away my developing advantage. I’d suggest keeping the attack going with ..h5 with the idea of putting N or B on g4 and opening the h-file.
In the line shown at 2:10, what should be black's response if white moves Qf3?
Also, what if white's fifth move (at 0:55) is pawn to f3? I thought black's best response is to move the knight Nh5, but then white responds with g3. What should be black's response now? I tried thinking of many options to deal with these situations and maintain the advantage but couldn't come up with anything good 🤔
At the start when the F6 knight is attacked and goes to E4 I think the best move for white is to be aggressive and move the queen to F3
Error: Stafford Gambit accepted and opponent has played Qf3
i came here to ask about this, how do you deal with Qf3?
This comment was intended as a joke but genuinely every player I face played Qf3
hi i'm josh they cover it at 8:30
You’re pretty much screwed then lol
I didn't see the PGN with this. I think this came out correct, not the best with SCID so if anyone wants to modify it feel free. If for whatever reason the host doesn't want this up feel free to delete it, just found it helpful with my studies.

Hey there, great video, I just have a quick question. What happens if they play d4? And it can also happen in various lines I think. So what should I do? (more specifically at d3, then d4)
After 3:50 white is in a great position. Bxg4 is a threat, white can castle and push f3 and black loses a piece. I don't understand what black gets by paying that particular line.
Great video, thanks a lot for sharing. I'm sure it will improve my game with blacks. Take care
3:48 seconds - what can black do from here? I can't find anything that keeps up good % of winning
nextchessmove.com/?fen=3k4/6Rp/1p6/8/3Pp3/8/PP2BPPP/2R3K1%20w%20-%20-%200%201
did a stockfish analysis and capturing the light square bishop and then queen side castle is the best move.
First win of stafford gambit thanks to this video/tutor! Woohoo thanks!
That's awesome. Always fun to put it into practice and win.
Thanks for the demo and explanation
You are very welcome.
Excuse me sir, what engine is this that you use to teach lessons? It seems really helpful.
If, in the line outlined in my above comment, after White plays Qe2, Black plays Qxc2, White plays Qd3 and if Black then plays Qc5 or Qa4 then White plays. Nf3.
Terrific gambit. Think I’ll give it a try soon.
My coach doesn't like the Stafford Gambit. I like it though.
If you play against strong opponent or literally anyone who have watch this, this gambit is kinda bad... And could make you lose the game
Had guy play this vs me the other day and I was confused from the queen move. Luckily it was 30mint rapid game so I was able to calculate and defend properly. He choked after he ran out of memorized moves
Probably me.
Stafford is so unsound and yet it pisses me off to no end.
Your statement has so much truth in it.
Love it such a amazing analyses
Hey kevin, really looking out for that declined video, most of my games white declines :(
In that case it’s just called Petrov’s defense. There should be some instruction on that. Good luck!
@@cameronmass1022 it is usually called the Russian game and there is very little assistance or commentary on it. Unfortunately as has been noted by others on many Stafford videos this is probably the most common line at sub 2000 levels and it’s a bit dull
@@raphaelhudson there is a decline video btw
@@fdwreuysay3373 what I mean is when they don’t take e5 .
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 Nc6 4. Nxc6 dxc6 5. e5 Ne4 6. Qe2
What should I play then? My engine shows Nc5 which I dont really like, is there any way to continue the attack (or another trap)? Or is it just better to back up?
Thanks for the information, i will try it real quick
I studied this opening thoroughly but how should I play if my opponent responds to it like:
1.e4-e5
2.Nf3-Nf6
3.Nxe5-Nc6
4.Nxc6-dxc6
5.d3-Bc5
6.Be2-h5
7.c3
0:40 Solid play f3 is strong there
ıf Nxe4 Qe2
TT0 this is what my opponent played, f3 than Bf4, and continue with something similar, like shown in the video
Hey I know this is a late comment so you might not see this but if anyone does please try to respond. What should black play in this position:
(Stafford accepted)
E5, NE4
QE2
Is BF5 the best move in this scenario? Many thanks!
goddamn i love this gambit
Where is the video going over the declined line? I can't find it

I'm quite new to chess but at 3:35 couldn't white queen move to C1? Please could someone explain to me why that would not work? Like I said I am new to this side of chess and want to learn.
Thank you
7:39: couldn't the opponent move queen F3 attacking your Knight?
Is there any way to continue the attack after white plays: pawn d3, black bishop c5, and then white bishop e2?
TheLivingBacon345 Jb up
What if the white play Queen D2 after the white pawn on D5 force black knight to jump on D4?
I had an interesting game today. e4, e5; Nf3, Nf6; Nxe5, Nc6; Nxc6, dc; f3. This was also recommended as the best move by the engine. What would you respond to that?
What about 4…dxc 5.d3 Bc5 6.Be2 how would you proceed as black? A buddy ran into this and we had trouble finding the best course of play
