If I ever switch back to 2. Nf3 in Sicilian instead of 2.Nc3, I'm going to try this. As Black, I'm not afraid of wing Gambit, but this one I am more wary of. Thanks for the attractive lines, and the many beautiful tactical example games. Certainly the content we like to see here. thanks Mio
By the way, it's missing the variant recommanded by K. Plichta: 3. Nxb4 4.c3 Nc6 5. d4 cxd4 6.cxd4 e6. 7.d5 is bad after Qf6 so we continue with 7.Nc3 Bb4 8.Bd2 Nf6 9. Bd3 O-O 10. O-O d6 and by exemple 11.Qb3 a5 12. Rc1 but it is not so easy..
I am playing the Portsmouth gambit since like 2 months in rapid and blitz on 2000 elo. I am literally winning every single game nobody knows how to play against it.
In right moment! I'm looking for another respond ror Sicilian but Nc3. Thanks Mio! Bojan told me that meet you after many years in Budva and say hi from me to you. 😊
Thank you for your great work as always Mio, the Portsmouth is a lot of fun ! However, you seem to have omitted what is perhaps the most critical line for Black in the entire gambit which is 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 b4 Nxb4 4 c3 Nc6 5 d4 cxd4 6 cxd4 e6 ! Here there is no doubt that 7 d5 Qf6 gives White considerable practical compensation but it is probably objectively unsound. Other 7th move options for White seem to give Black an improved version of the French Wing Gambit as White has liquidated his c-pawn rather than his a-pawn
Could you cover deferred wing gambit against ...d6 and ...e6? I have been playing this since I have seen Schrantz's portsmouth gambit video. I get transpositions in those other lines, but some of the critical lines are challenging.
Thank you for a fantastic job as always Mio. Would you please do a lecture on "deferred wing gambit", as proposed by @NickZack, to cover other lines than Nc6. By the way special thanks for the solution as how to deal with black queen's attack along the f6-a1 diagonal at 20:22. I have been really struggling to deal with that one. Salutes!😀
There’s a really funny line I had after 3…cxb4 4. d4 g6 5. d5 Bg7 6. c3 where black thinks they can get away with 6…bxc3 because of 7. dxc6 c2?? with a double attack on the queen and rook, but 8. Qxc2 Bxa1 9. c7! traps the queen in it’s starting position. Such a fun opening

That was my point 😉

Thank you my friend, he did say hi 👍
Absolutely great gambit and opening versus the Sicilian
But butcher the Sicilian in hypermodern fashion is still king
Thanks! 🙏🏻So much better than the Wing Gambit!!! I will try this out!!! 😃

Always my friend!
I love the Portsmouth Gambit, but I have to keep my head down studying my Butcher the Sicilian repertoire. You spoil us for choice, Mio.
Hello, when will you propose a chessable course about this?
17:37 As someone who has played this before I saw your video (trying to find a certain line against a very early h5, g6 is really annoying.
There’s a really funny line I had after 3…cxb4 4. d4 g6 5. d5 Bg7 6. c3 where black thinks they can get away with 6…bxc3 because of 7. dxc6 c2?? with a double attack on the queen and rook, but 8. Qxc2 Bxa1 9. c7! traps the queen in it’s starting position. Such a fun opening
E4 c5 b4 d5!!! 0-1 change my mind 😂
Not the subject of the video. Did you watch it ?
Did somebody ask? Good grief I mean about e4 c5 nf3 nc6 b4 d5
