What do you play if the do play 5. Nd4? If you take Nd4: then they follow up with Qh5+ and I have no clue how to play and always loose. Any help would be appreciated
Igor, I love your channel and I've learned a ton from you (you and Danya got me up past 1600,) but I think your logic is somewhat wrong here. Because of you I played the Rousseau Gambit when I was a much lower ELO and I found that people were already playing the best moves by the time I got to about 950-1000 ELO. You often talk about the "most played" moves, but the vast majority of players are not very good and are skewing the data you're using. I still think people can play this gambit, but they should expect that a lot that people will not accept it and will opt for D3/D4 instead. You often teach us how to punish our opponents mistakes, but as chess players get better and better (because of people like you,) it might be helpful to focus more on how to respond to the most challenging lines.
His logic works because he’s showing you the most often played moves. It’s not just 500s doing it. This is what you’re most likely to encounter. The key isn’t to memorize these exact lines but to use them as working knowledge. If I move A then I can expect B which leads to C. Great. Only my opponent called an audible and now I have to switch tactics a bit. You’ve got time to think. Calculate the next 2-3 moves from that position. Can you still make it work? Because a lot of these depend on fork attacks from the knights you can still throw an outside curveball even though they might be expecting a fastball down Broadway. Psychology is a huge factor in chess. It’s knowing how to manipulate your opponent to your advantage.
Ive been on the Rousseau train since the beginning Igor. I just checked my Lichess account and it is still my most winning opening so thank you once again for this. For any that want to play this you have to actually learn it.A lot of moves are completely unintuitive and if you don't play them you lose all your advantage.
Hello Igor, please this is the third time reaching out to you. I need to discuss something serious about chess(not some basic things), how can I get in contact with you?
Um yea in the lichess most played moves it's best if you disable until the 1400 level since people below play trash moves and the better moves are played by people above 1400 rating
If you are playing people above 1400 rating, you probably shouldn't play trappy openings as your opponents can usually see every trap. You are way better off learning more solid openings played at higher levels.
Honestly this opening is garbage, sure you might catch some people but you missed after exf5 e4 Nd4 Nxd4 white has Qh5+ and white is just winning and your king is exposed
Anything is garbage if you don't know how to play it lol. That's like saying the Sicilian is garbage because you got scholars mated in it. It's not the opening, it's just the ding dong playing it.

@@EhtesamUddinPrince You have no idea it works bruh
First
Honestly this opening is garbage, sure you might catch some people but you missed after exf5 e4 Nd4 Nxd4 white has Qh5+ and white is just winning and your king is exposed
Did you watch the video, 9:55?
He covers that exact scenario in Trap 4. you don't play ...Nxd4.
lil bro watched too much youtube kids
btw 10:00 in case you’re still dumb af
Garbage! That is mean, take it back
