In this video, I explore the hidden beauties of the Lucchini Gambit. This dubious, but aggressive opening variation was completely new for me and brought to my attention by twitch subscriber gmdillusion. As you'll see in this video, I delve into some of the mainlines and discover some fascinating traps and ideas. This gambit is incredibly rare at master level play, so I think it has great potential as a surprise weapon. Here is the lichess study where viewers can explore the lines further:

We all know what the true beauty of this opening is, after sacking the Queen to promote to another Queen you simply say to your opponent, "Still theory"
Hit'em with the Finegold 😂
“Given that everyone’s learning the Stafford these days...”
*smirks and sips tea*
Why don't you actually try to improve in chess rather than playing cheap traps lmao. Get a grip.
Muhammad because they can help you win and the victories are satisfying
@@jacobklopp9982 maybe below 2000 lmao. Good luck improving beyond that with that mindset buddy.
Muhammad im guessing you don’t even know how to have fun
@@TyJoneZs well stop guessing and actually think for a second lmao.
It's insane what kind of miracles chess hides... Even in 2020...
Especially in 2020 xD
What's 2020 got to do with it?
@@zarrowthehorse Crazy chess discoveries keep happening and will keep happening even if chess is an old game, that's what I meant.
@@DionysisGalanis of course, there are millions of different outcomes
@@zarrowthehorse Much more... But this was shocking! 🤯
This looks like a good opening against engine cheaters. They'll play the engine top recommendation but in this line the engine is just confused
They probably will Play c3 in the italian
engine does not play ng5 it castles instead saying that the position is equal
Haha 😂
Actually bishop d5 is best notpawn d5 then whiteis not loosing
Just castle - white can keep a significant advantage without having to go into the complications
Down a rook, a pawn, a knight, and a bishop for a single pawn.
_Just like the simulations_
Still theory.
Muzio Gambit in a nutshell
Star Wars memes are still in?
@@mkronos02 _"Watch those wrist rockets!"_
@@SkyNinja759 We’re just pawns, we are meant to be expandable.
The engine analyzing this sounds like Ben Finegold. "I don't know who's better. Leave me alone. I'm an old man. Wahhh!"
"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything"
Tyler Durden
"We get to a position where we're only down a pawn, with white's king on c4."
Okay, I'm convinced.
JediNxf7 GOD DAMN IT! XD
Yk, this could be a result of a devastating middle game attack but at the same time it could be a description of a drawish endgame lol
Levy "I have an e4 course" Rozman
Eric "Levy has an e4 course" Rosen
Analysed this a bit with Stockfish, if white plays Qc4 on move 19 instead of taking on e5 (13:08), there is an even crazier line where you sac the queen, promote and sac the queen again:
19. Qc4 Nf6
20. d6 Nd5+
21. Kb3 exd3
22. Qxd5 Be6
23. Nc4 d2+ (If we take the queen it's losing because after white takes our queen with the bishop, the rook protects the back rank)
24. Nxe3 d1=Q+ (we still can't take the queen because after Kc2 all the promoting squares are protected)
25. Nxd1 Bxd5 (now the Knight no longer protects f1, allowing us to take the queen with check and promote)
There are better lines for white after Qc4, just thought this one was hilarious.
This is why youtube has the comment section!
HA! You should update the comment to say 'you sack the queen, promote and sack the queen again, then promote again'.
Do you see any poisonous lines for black after this 19.Qc4 variant? I was studying the position, and although the engine gives black an edge I see no way to take advantage for black.
@@peteryonts665 after 19. Qc4 Nf6 the threats are Nxd5+, exd3(followed by Nxd5+ if Queen takes, winning the queen eventually) and Be2(attacking the pinned piece again). Only move for white that doesn't lose on the spot, is to play Nxe4, stopping all the threats, which we will take back with the knight Nxe4+(The Queen sac line doesn't work here, because white can take back with the queen, covering the promotion square). The problem for white is, even with perfect play, the white king is stuck in the center of the board, even though you're still up a piece, the knight on h8 cannot be saved and will be captured eventually, and then there is the f2 pawn, which probably will promote at some point.
LOL I went through your line on Stockfish too. So sick that the Knight takes two queens in a row and white is still losing lol
Eric, if you do play this against someone, PLEASE do post it on RUclips (whether it works out or not). Thanks!
Why?
l3abo l_uci why not?
@@WesitoxD why?
@@kristiansyren3917 why not?
@@theultimatebananaboi163 Why?
how ironic that such a crazy position came out the "very quiet game" opening. maybe this should be called the giuoco fortissimo
edit: the move is 4...f5, but maybe it should be notated "fffff" :^)
Fortissimo!
This comment is underappreciated.
Yes
Oh this is outrageously good
Pianoforte
7:10
the contemptuous disgust in his voice while saying "knight" cracks me up every single time
this has got to be the most incredible and interesting chess theory I have ever watched. Great work Eric, you are a never-ending chess content gold mine.
'Dubois Variation' - more like dubious variation!
I was very confused for a good minute when lichess showed that name to me
You just blowed my mind Eric by uploading that video. Now im dreaming about playing that over the board
I played it once but I had to suffer a dozen Italian games for it. Not worth it xddd
@@DonFreeq xD
gmdillusion here, thanks for showing :)
Very cool, thank you!
@@francismartinevans O-O is an excellent response for white, but the evaluation from Stockfish is deceiving. A line that leads to *at least* equality for black is 5.O-O Nf6 6.Nc3 d6 7. Bg5 Na5! (funny side line: 8.d4!? exd4 9.Re1 [...dxc3 10.e5! Ne4!!!, black sacs the queen!!] Nxc4 10.exf5+ Kf8 11.Nd5 Bxf5 12.Qc1!!, white has really tricky compensation for the piece [...c6 13.Bxf6 gxf6 14.Qh6+ Kf7 15.Nxf6 {Qxf6 16. Ng5+ loses the queen} Rg8 16. Nxh7, line keeps going]) 8.Bb3 Nxb3 9.axb3 O-O 10.Nd5 c6 11.Nxf6 gxf6 12.Bh6 Rf7 (and for example, Nh4 f4 and black is really solid and the bishop is trapped) 13.exf5 Bxf5 14.Nh4 Bg6 15.Nxg6 hxf6 16.Qg4 Kh7 17.Qh4 Kg8, completely equal. Definitely playable even if white doesn't play Ng5 :)
Wait but ur also a minecraft youtuber? You seem cool af dude
You know what's cooler than the gambit? His explanation is worth more than gold thank you so much
"The knight is pinned from behind"
-eric rosen
Kinky
Thats what she said
"Lucchini gambit is an anagram for gambit Lucchini."
Good grief...
Yare yare dize
@@mihir1181 not quite, you've got another C in there
Grief good
MIND. BLOWN.
Stumbled upon this vid real late, but Lucchini Gambit is an anagram for "u bitching I calm" and other similar nonsense. If it had another 'N' to work with you could do a lot more to break away from swearing.
This is such a cool gambit. You look like you're losing for the first half, then start taking everything back with forced moves and a much better position.
12:30 Looks like a GO position
Just as I won with Stafford Gambit
Meanwhile in some juniors chess tournament one of the kids plays this abominations after facing the gucci piano and the jury is like 'huh?'
This was super cool to see, I’m gonna try that for sure.
Wow this is amazing! Thanks Eric, very intresting analysis
Thanks for your content, congrats to 130.000 subs on youtube :)
That was a fun discovery! Thx for posting it to YT Eric!
Watching you has improved my chess game so much! You manage to make chess more fun and I constantly find myself laughing at portions of the video!! Thank you Eric!
Thank you for uploading this to RUclips!!! Very cool 👍🏻
What a line! Love your videos Eric. Used to watch ur lectures quite some time ago. Will have to join the twitch stream soon!
Thank god you put this on YT. Fascinating opening for sure
What a gambit, Eric! Ty for making a vid about it :D
I actually looked at this gambit with early f5 in the italian and its great that you made a video on it
Dude! I was literally trying to look into the Italian Game, Giuoco Piano and Giuoco Pianissimo just recently! I didn't realize this gambit was hidden in the list of subsequent moves! I gotta remember this one!
[CH] in italian is pronounced K, a double C is pronounced with a pausa like Lucca [Luk'ka'].
Is not luccini but [Luk'kini]
“I had to through out the banana from the thumbnail. It’ll be remembered though.” 9:06
Me: "Oh Eric made a new study on lichess."
Me after going through the line: "Let me play this right now before he puts it on youtube lol."
How did it go?
@@NotQuiteFirst Great actually.
Mesmerising! Many thanks.
That's very cool Gambit !!
Some day you will also be very glad to hear “your streams are top quality” again. But then it will be coming from your urologist
Reminds me somewhat of the Traxler Counterattack. Nice video! :)
this was such a crazy analysis
Big fan!!!!
Keep up the series
Man you have to play it once! Please. That was sooooo epic. Loved it
Just had my first win using lucchini gambit. Thanks, eric
thanks for helping make chess more interesting and motivating me to try new stuff everyday
Wow pretty cool analysis🙏
Thanks for putting it on youtube!!
Well this was very interesting. I sure hope you upload a video in the future where you explore this opening in actual rated games.
Wow crazy gambit you discovered there
Omg I wish you had the extra stuff into the video, the promote to the knight is insane
Eric, I was able to play this gambit recently. To be fair the first time I played it a messed up the move order but second time was a charm.
The fact that i get to watch these type of content for free is very pog.
Thank You Eric.
This is an awesome line! Sac everything!
Thanks for putting this on RUclips
This opening is just too amazing
There are just endless possibilities
Which makes it amazing
Thank you for the lesson!
What the absolute heck is this.
Look forward to the video of you playing it 👍👍👍
"To put this in human terms" lmfao
what a thumbnail, what a spectacular thumbnail!
I'd love to see you actually play this during a live game!
14:32 "we have literally sac-ed one of every piece except the queen"..
...the night is still young
-Dr. Lucchini
That was a wild ride!
I just played this opening in an OTB rapid tournament and won the game against a stronger opponent! Thanks for the video!
Oh man, I hope you can play this gambit soon Eric!
9:10
"All that for a single pawn"
Love stuff like this
So funny watching your increasing joy as you lose more and more pieces!
What an insane gambit...can't wait fir you to play this in a live game
This is crazy, I love it
This is so amazing
One of your best!
I actually played this exact game with my friend.. and he had no idea what hit him ..At the time I did not know a name for this opening.. this was so much fun..
"lucchini gambit is an anagram for gambit lucchini"
I lol-ed after that one
You know Eric is gonna like this one when the Line is called Dubious Variation
I play the Italian as white pretty often. People started using this against me about a week ago and I hadn’t seen it before that. Thanks for posting
There was a novel from 1966 Van Goom's Gambit - opponents were dying with heart attack during play ... I think this is it :)
In 3:31 it literally says its a dubois (dubious) opening 😂
Dubois is a french surname I believe. It's surprisingly close though to dubious!
@@Terrashark ok?
The Queen is reborn....... Awesome as always rosen lol
This is straight up insane
Wow thank you for this one bless
As someone that plays white's main-line this was super informative. 👍🏼
Pinning from behind is so beautiful.
These thumbnails man!!!!!!!!🤩
That is a crazy line. Might have to mess around with that.
I've now learned that Eric Rosen is just a better internet chess teacher than Gotham
That was very cool
Nice homage to the VampireChicken!
Eric Rosen before: Stafford gambit. My favorite opening, cause there's just so many traps.
Eric Rosen now: Lucchini gambit. My favorite opening, cause everybody already knows about Stafford
Throw away all the pieces, sac 1 of everything for a winning position, it's brilliant!
Eric, this reminds me of a chigorin game against Victor Knorre in a weird way. Black gambited a lot pf material but just opened up the kingside and butchered white.
Reminds me of a Traxler Gambit because after white over extends with the knight we hit with Qh4.
I tried playing the trap in one of your more recent videos since nobody accepts the stafford at 1400 elo, but turns out nobody accepts the knight d4 trap either. Perhaps this one will bring more luck
Well, not anymore...
I've actually accepted a Stafford gambit in rapid just now, it's pretty fun when you find a way to stop all of black's initiative and stabilize the board. Don't know if I'm able to find those moves in blitz though since I took like a minute to find f3 and c3.
Everyone is wise to the Stafford now. Everyone but Twitch chat, that is.
@@kys9611 low quality bait.
@@kys9611 I don't want to do that I want to use cheap opening traps instead
This thumbnail is way beyond beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
_The craziest gambit is called Check Norris gambit, where you sacked the board_
That's so crazy!
This is actually gold.
I really wanna see it in action in your next videos!
I immediately tried it out when I saw it
