@@SH-kz4fl this gambit is one of the easiest gambits to counter. black can have a solid defense while completely fucking up white’s pawn structure and even with basic skills black can stay safe.

I played the king's gambit and my noob 1100 opponents doesn't know how to play with it it's a very aggressive opening if accept then we play nf3 the next move we take the center with d4 and also stoping qh4 check goofy ah that's just deadly
I've mained the danish gambit up to 1800 as a player so it's fun to see it being covered - i still learnt something in the declined variations that i didn't know! Anyway, i wanted to point out in game 1 i believe the theory is to take with the c-pawn. black can very easily blunder his bishop but whatever he plays it's pretty good for us
For videos like these when you're explaining theory or the game, keep the bar open so players like me could really understand just how much better or how much worse a position is
Hey Levy these videos are really helping me improve my game. I fell out of touch with the game for a long time after learning just the basics but since I have been back at it during the pandemic, I had really been struggling. Your videos really covers the basic principles very well and I finally hit 700 playing the Danish Gambit. Just wanted to say thank you.
My son turned me on to your channel and this video has my appreciation level skyrocketing! Your great breakdown and supplying the notation to use as a reference along with the move tree/alt lines all in one is so efficient and helpful! Thanks!
Hey Gotham I’ve been getting into chess again and love watching your opening and mid game theories and since watching I’ve gained 200 points! Your the best teacher I’ve seen for chess. Keep up the amazing work
Thank you so much for this video! I have been playing the Danish almost every day for 5 minute games and have seen a lot of different defenses. You have enlightened me to several new attacking moves
Thanks for sharing this. I tried playing a few games against 1400s and they went very well. I was expecting a difficult learning curve with a opening that sacrifices so many pawns, but the positions it leads to feel really logical to play.
Learning the danish gambit on this channel literally took me from 1200 to 1395. Gotham teaches incredible content. This is the best channel that teaches solid opening.
Im slowly crawling out of total-beginner mode thanks to him. I have a hard time keeping up watching his videos but i can feel my brain getting bigger every HA HA moment i get on this channel. I started winning games recently. I know nothing but im finally seeing moves before they happen. Levy is the man. Great teacher
Yes I agree that's obvious, but you missed most deadly C4 advanced accelerated offensive defense, reversed Carpov tactic variant tested by Warsaw GM and feard by international engines. On the other hand I don't blame you to keep this one in the sleeve.
I'm ranked in 16-1700's with no studying or anything and have hit ceiling. I can't seem to break 1800. So finally I decided to have a look online and stumbled across this video. I gave it a whirl and instantly my oponent (ranked 1548) did this. I guess it's not the expected moves someone at say 1200 would make and not the most technically proficient a master would make. I thought I'd made a massive balls up on move 8, but it paved the way for one of the weirdest mates I've ever made. Using only a knight, how bizarre! 1. e4 e5 2. d4 d6 3. c3 f6 4.

Hey Levy, good video! You told at the beginning there is a video of you teaching the Scotch, but I couldn't find it. Well, thanks for this one, you and John Bartholomew are making a great job here on RUclips.
Never clicked a video so fast. The Danish was my favorite opening when I first started playing, but only ever got to play Bxb2 a few times. In my experience, below 1000 the vast majority of opponents were too scared to take the 3rd pawn, tho they don't know exactly why it's scary
