    I'm not sure if anyone else has pointed out the line: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 3. d5 Bc5 4. Bg5 Bxf2+ 5. Kxf2 Ne4+(?!)
    6. Ke3!? Qxg5+ 7. Kxe4 Qg6+ 8. Ke3 Qb6+ 9. Kd3 Qxb2 10. Nd2 And White seems to be doing OK according to the engine. I'm not sure how many humans are insane enough to play 6.Ke3 but maybe it's a good idea to play 5...Ng4+ just in case. On edit: Oh- I just saw your other BG video where you point this out too- sorry, never mind :-)

  • @n2g747
    @n2g747 4 года назад +1

    12:52 Isn't Ng4+ a better option than Ne4+? Ng4+ forces white to play Ke1 and black gets a free bishop, but Ne4+ leads to Ke3, Qxg5+; Kxe4 and then white is not in a terrible position.

    Thanks for another entertaining video, Eric. However, there is an error in your analysis of 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e5 3.d5 Bc5 4.Bg5?? Bxf2+! 5.Kxf2. Here Black should play 5...Ng4+! with a winning advantage. Your recommendation 5...Ne4+? actually gives White a slight plus according to the engines after 6.Ke3! Qxg5+ 7.Kxe4. The key point is that the alternative, 6...Nxg5, allows 7.h4! trapping the knight. It is also worth mentioning that Black can try for an even faster win with 4...Ne4!? hoping for 5.Bxd8? Bxf2#, as in Arnold-Hanauer, Philadelphia 1936. Instead, White can stagger on with 5.Be3! Bxe3 6.fxe3 Qh4+ 7.g3 and now either 7...Qh6 or 7...Nxg3 8.Nf3 Qh6 gives Black a large advantage.

  • @richardw1634

    for the second trap, white king e3 gain material. if queen takes bishop, king takes black knight. if knight takes bishop h4 traps the knight. In viewpoint of that, bishop takes f2+ is losing for black. @eric Rosen

  • @aonpl
    @aonpl 2 года назад +1

    So after 13:44 Kxf2 Ne4 is a mistake. After Ke3 its at least equal for white. After Qxg5 Kxe4, engine says its better for white but its also scary with a king in the middle. And if Nxg5 h4, and knight is trapped. So better go Ng4+. Old videos, Eric unprepered, lichess crushess, nostalgic...

  • @mormril
    @mormril 5 лет назад

    Hey Eric, interesting video over an opening that I love to play. However, I find the positions that I get with the Ng4 moves against correct play are just boring and slightly worse for black. Obviously if white doesn't know what they are doing, it can be easy go astray. Most people know what to do in the Ng4 lines. My biggest problem is that with correct play, I would much rather have gone for a Nimzo or another Kings Indian Defense setup than deal with the positions that result out of Ng4. From the white side, the Ng4 budaphest seems to just give me a comfortable edge and little concern.
    A better move is actually the Farajowicz variation (spelling?) with Ne4. Especially in blitz, I have found this is a very lethal opening against unprepared opponents. A typical game might look something like this: 3...Ne4 4. Nf3 d6 5. exd6 Bxd6 6. Nd2 Bf5 7. e3 Qe7 8. Be2 Nc6 9. 0-0 0-0-0. White is up a pawn, but especially in any shorter time control, I have beaten even 2400 players on lichess with this stuff. A sidenote, a GM on that site actually plays the Farajowicz variation but they finachetto the light squared bishop on b7. Obviously, they are extremely strong tactically, but from what I saw they have good results with that opening.

    @LautaroRRIos 3 года назад

    I think that in the last example Ne4 is better cause u are threatening mate on c2 and the opponent may take the "free" queen and getting mated right after. And if white defends mate u just take the bishop with the knight

    • @elikesef2611
      @elikesef2611 8 месяцев назад

      Not only that if white takes the queen that you have a mate in 5, which happens to me about once a year, either after the Budapest or after the Englund gambit, in exactly the same position, but after 1. d4 e5 2. d5 Nf6 3. c4 Bc5 4. Bg5 Ne4 (I give the Englund refused, also good to know, same position) white is now totally lost.
      People don't want to lose their bishop, so they will defend against the mate with bishop e3. Then you exchange bishops, and he has a hole on f2. Then Qh4+, and whites only legal move is g3. Then Nxg3, and he cannot take the knight, because he will lose the rook. Then he can play Nf3, attacking the queen, than Qh6, Rg1, to save the rook, than the black horse takes the bishop on f1, and after the rook takes back, black's queen will take the pawn on e3, and black is 2 pawns up, and the white position is destroyed. Here is the whole line: 1. d4 e5 2. d5 Nf6 3. c4 Bc5 4. Bg5 Ne4 5. Be3 Bxe3 6. fxe3 Qh4+ 7. g3 Nxg3 8. Nf3 Qh6 9. Rg1 Nxf1 10. Rxf1 Qxe3
      And that is only when white finds the best defense every time. Regularly you'll get the mate in 5, sometimes you'll win the rook in the corner, but anyway: I think it is way better than the line IM Eric gives.

  • @tom1600x1050
    @tom1600x1050 5 лет назад

    Regarding the position on the video at 12:21. Wouldn't a better move for black be to move the black knight on f6 to e4? If the white bishop takes the black queen, then the black bishop on c5 can take the pawn on f7 and I think it is checkmate for black. By sacrificing the black queen, black achieves a checkmate, right?

    At the end I think Ne4 is wrong. Play may follow Ke3, NxB h4 and the Knight appears to have a problem. Ng4 avoids this

    This is like a black version of the Tennyson Gambit. I've finally gotten the ability to play both white and black against the Tennyson and it is the trappiest opening I've come across. Both sides have to play very accurately, or disaster ensues immediately.

    In the last position couldn’t you just move the knight up to e5, hang the queen but then checkmate by taking the pawn with the bishop? The ling would have ni escape as both squares are covered by the knight.

    11:50 Why not ke5? If he takes the queen, you can mate him with Bf2! And if he defends with Be3, you take the Bishop. If he takes back, you can check him with Qh4 and the only way to defend is by blocking with pawn g3, upon which you can take the pawn with the night, so he'll lose the Rook. Best case scenario for him is losing the bishop, or am I missing something?

    • @ems3832
      @ems3832 3 года назад

      You're missing 3 things: First, the move you're referencing is 4...Ne4, not "ke5." Secondly, at the end of your sequence, after 7...Nxg3, White has 8.Nf3 and no piece or Rook is lost. That makes 4...Bxf2+ the best continuation. Third, it's "Knight," not "night."

  • @archanadabke

    After 'Bf4' is this sequence possible: g5 Bg3, Bg7 Nf3, and then Nf6. I believe that this adds more pressure to the e5 pawn. I actually even tried it and the game ended in a draw. I just wanted your opinion Mr Eric.

    After move 4. Bxf2+ and white takes with the King. Black should not play Ne4, after this white plays Ke3 allowing white to take the Knight after Black takes the Bishop with Qxg5. The only correct move in the position is Ng4+ followed by Qxg5

    • @vymicrowave
      @vymicrowave 5 лет назад

      Black can take the bishop with the knight after Ke3 instead of using the queen, so Ne4 still works.

    • @Ch3xMat3
      @Ch3xMat3 5 лет назад

      @@vymicrowave Taking with the knight loses the knight after white plays h4 and the knight has no where to run.
