- Chess Openings: Learn to Play the Bullfrog Gambit!
In today's video, we cover a somewhat dubious but fun chess gambit that d4 players can use! Maybe your opponent has studied hard in the Benoni Defense, Grunfeld Defense, King's Indian Defense, Benko Gambit, Nimzo-Indian Defense, Bogo-Indian Defense, or Queen's Indian Defense. Well, if the d4 player goes with the Bullfrog Gambit all of that preparation goes out the window! The Bullfrog Gambit has a surprising level of chess strategy, chess ideas, chess moves, chess traps, and chess tricks to win fast. The Bullfrog Gambit is hard to play against because it goes against normal chess principles but still works somehow. We give up a pawn but in return look to gain control of the center and an advantage in development. The Bullfrog Gambit is a fun chess opening for chess beginners and intermediate chess players as it requires both players to think outside the box and rely on their own intuition opposed to memorized opening lines and variations. The Bullfrog Gambit is a fun chess opening to use in online bullet and blitz games as well, as it is a tricky chess opening with many chess opening traps. We hope you will enjoy this video on learning how to play the Bullfrog Gambit!

Pretty interesting! Apparently Humphrey Bogart was a fan of this gambit
Didn’t know that!
Thanks for this, Solomon. I've only seen this played by Emil Diemer, Claude Bloodgood and once by chess master Baastian.
It's like a sane version of the Grob. I'm surprised that FM Mark Duckworth doesn't play it. Safe travels!
The game got wild pretty fast, hey congrats on your 5000 and it will keep going! Prettiest chess channel.
Thank you Victor!
Thank you for the coverage on this gambit! It feels so aggressive, I love it. :D
No problem Kris, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I use to play this lol. I was wing gambit crazy
Haha that’s awesome
Hello Solomon, happy to see your channel growing! :)
I had less occasion to play, now I'm trying to play more games. Thanks for the new gambit!
hope for a comeback of Giant Geographic's mini documentaries ;) but chess is more important of course and always well explained!
Great videos Solomon! I think you use "in my entire life" too often, almost every video.
Noted!
I've seen some analysis of a third option with the black knight after it has captured g4: 3...Nxf2!
after which sacrifice, the white king has no fortress. I'll see if I can find that game (which Black won).
The first Bullfrog I ever saw, White didn't play 2.e4, but 2.f3, to drive back the N, then 3.e4 then the 4.Be3, to drop to f2 if necessary.
That said, 2. e4 seems simpler, probably better.
Thanks, Solomon.
Oh wow! That is some crazy chess right there following Nxf2! Thanks for the thoughtful comments as always.
@@TheChessGiantwhat if 2. Hy
H6
*
3.Nxf2 is not worth it tbh, yes the king is on f2 but white can play 5.nf3 and counter all queen threats.
I like all your videos but can you please make proper playlist of each opening ........for example when i searched for hippopotamus opening i found it difficult to find so can you please compile all in one playlist like u did for ponianza opening
Beautiful video, waiting for the 1b4 tutorial¡
Thanks Andrea, ya I need to make that!
Another amazing video!
Here is an idea for a video...
The Arctic Defense (1. f6) which usually arises off the Reti opening (1. Nf3 f6, 2. e4)
Thanks for considering !
Interesting, always excited to hear about new openings I've never heard of before. Especially if the names are weird/cool! Thanks John!
@@TheChessGiant Have you ever looked at the 8 online games played in 2001 between Nigel Short and supposedly Bobby Fischer ?
@@TheChessGiant LOL. That is the greatest mystery in all of chess. Here are the games ... en.chessbase.com/portals/4/files/games/iccf1.htm ... the last 7 are supposedly between Fischer and Short. No one knows the moves of the last game 8, but Fischer won the series 8-0.
@@johnp845 Sweet, thanks for sending! Out of curiosity, has short ever commented on it?
@@TheChessGiant This is well documented. Initially Short said he was "99% sure" it was Fischer, as he asked Fischer questions during these bizarre games, and his opponent responded immediately with answers only Fischer would know so immediately. Apparently Short may be backtracking now. There is lots of info regarding this on RUclips and by Googling it.
Cool but if you can put even more theory it will be very awesome 👍🏻
Wow
Cool,
But I know a lot of gambits and openings for white, but I do wanna see a very aggressive opening for black for almost whatever white plays
I recommend the busch-gass gambit against e4, the wagon gambit against d4 or c4, and the alphabet gambit against c4.
What if h6
Why is it called the Bullfrog Gambit?
Literally no clue haha. Chess opening names are very confusing sometimes 😂
Idk lol, the real name is "gibbins-widenhagen gambit"
You beat this whole opening with 2. ...h6
G5
Well i think if you know this gambit it can get refuted.
Doesnt that apply to all Gambits except for Queens Gambit and Evans?
