That end game was great. Very instructive. Control infiltration squares, restrict their pieces, understand their possible blockade setups… right now to try and implement this myself!!
Looks like a very fun and trappy line. Great to see you cover it. Some discussion of 5. d4 would be welcome though as that seems like White's most natural continuation, perhaps more so even than 5. exf5
I've been a Gambit fan since I was young. But I didn't know about the Kevitz Gambit. Now I'm a coach and I've started teaching my students about the Kevitz Gambit. I really like it! THX for your videos! Schachtherapeut
Isn’t it probably better to teach students to improve and outplay their opponents instead of tricking and trapping them? I understand it’s fun to play trap openings online but it’s probably not the best thing to teach students. But maybe if it makes it fun then whatever
For all guys, that are asking "what if not c3?":. This video is only about the gambit after c3, f5. Other continuations like 0-0, Bxc6 or d4 you must look in the theory. And there you play like this: ...Nge7, Bg7, 0-0, f5, d6 and play like a kings indian
Played this in summer when the first video came out against the young prodigy of my club, easily 300-400 points higher than me. Crushed him in the middle game. Then lost on time; Rapid without increment.
Brilliant way to punish your opponent. Very nice job following through to the endgame without allowing any counter-play! For the opening though, I find it strange they take on c6 after playing c3, it's like the IM didn't bother thinking about opening principals or why c3 was played in the first place. I always get lower level players (2000-2200 lichess) playing c3 and d4, like it's second nature for them. Or maybe the IM was trying to bm you or didn't take the opening too seriously. Definitely a powerful weapon indeed, for a quick time control. I imagine though, it's pretty damaging for black's kingside and pawn structure if white knows the right way to play. But it's only like a +1 for white, much safer than some of the other gambits you've posted hahaha
I've started playing this gambit since you showcased it six monthes ago, but at 1700 elo, people basically always answer 3... g6 with 4. O-O. (I mean, I won't complain, if it's enough to take them out of theory.)
even better things can happen when black allows to white takes on f:g6 (for. ex. Nf6 instead of playing c5?? for kicking white's night hoping for "amateur" Qd3)
Question, do you know of any gambits against the Trompowsky as black? Do any even exist? It potentially being dubious is fine, I doubt I'm ever going to reach 2000 where that'd start to matter. I just want to force them out of their comfort zone and into unfamiliar territory, even if they're technically winning.
Jonathan, it would be so cool if you would play other people more, so we can follow along, using these funny gambits, i also use them from time to time, its very refreshing, just won over a 2370 player using a funny gambit

I couldn't find any tricks after d4, looks like white is just slightly better.

What is the Paulsen vs Morphy game you are referring to? I couldn't find one online with the Rook blockade idea.

Feels like it's been forever! Been missing your content.
I like that, your tutorials are nice and speedy unlike some other popular content creators
Thank you. I was finally able to beat Isabel with this. It's a scary gambit cuz she missed a move that could have crushed me.
13:30 doesn't Bf3 win on the spot or am i missing something
I agree, wins at least an exchange
Yup!
I think it just wins the exchange.
I do enjoy your abrupt endings.
I really enjoyed this, thank you.

If Qe2, instead of Nd4, white has the same problems after Qe7 right?
Love this!
Can you take a look at the most common move outside the masters database? It's castling instead of C3 and the entire position is different
Well, the subject of the video is this gambit, which doesn't occur after 0-0. You just have to play something else in that case.
The gambit man is back
What's the reason for not simply playing 4.0-0 instead of 4.c3?

Instead of Knight takes on e6, was knight takes on c6 a possibility?
Thamks.
It play the Schliemann but this looks fun too !!!
Day 46 of asking for a video on my funny English lines
I'm the first :)
