@@KeepHimAtBay yikes dude chill out, computer always takes on d4, all gambits are best refuted by accepting them, and you best believe the computer is going to take and defend like a machine, just check it yourself. Critical point is its choice between Ke8 and Kf6, it needs like depth >= 20 to find the continuation for Kf6 to be best, so this whole thing is very much possible bro
Wow, it's possible to fool engines (btw, Leela would murder you, AIs are better at beating such nonsense). But humans can play Nxc3 or Nd6 and they don't need to know stuff and are simply better.
just beat a 2400 player with the Nakhmanson Gambit :-): 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. O-O Nxe4 5. d4 exd4 6. Nc3 dxc3 7. Bxf7+ Kxf7 8. Qd5+ Ke8 9. Re1 Ne7 10. Rxe4 c6 11. Qd6 Qa5 12. Bg5 Qd5 13. Rxe7+ Bxe7 14. Qxe7# 1-0 - it was a bullet game, but nevertheless checkmating a 2400 player in 14 moves is not bad :-) - keep up the great work Jonathan!
Oh MY GOD! I just discovered your personal channel!!! I AM A HUGE FAN of yours. Watched almost all the chess openings explained lectures and was hoping to see some more of you on youtube!!! I am so excited. Hello from Greece btw!
What a really amazing and crazy gambit line ! I didn't know this gambit and I crushed my opponent in a blitz game (he is a 2000 elo chess club player) in my first game thanks to you. Thanks for all your videos.
Hey Jonno great analysis. You keep it real nice and clean with a good pace and don't get too deep for us mere mortals. Definitely gonna add this one to the repertoire.
Once again Jonathan a delightful & Fun Instructional Video! Yap, gonna follow you on Twitch now. The only reason I hadn't pursued your offerings earlier is because I saw you most often in lecturing with the St. Lewis C.C., and those lectures necessarily just moved to slow. "that's the nature of course when there." I benefit greatly here on Y.T. from your keeping the ideas presented slow enough for a weaker player to maximize benefit, yet at a tempo speed that holds the ideas together for retaining as well. Always Greatly Love Your Host Demeanor & now after your recent London Defense offering, I'm making it a point to come Aboard Twitch with you as well! Thanks Man, Big Time & As Always, Blessings from Oregon! .. Mike.
Ooh, this could be very fun. I've have a system for this position which I can get through a normal scotch gambit. I am aiming for Max Lange stuff, but Nxe4 (known as the Anti-Max Lange) stops that from happening. I'm not thrilled with the stuff that arises from that, so this might be a fun substitute for now.
So basically it's capitalizing on your opponent's greed. Continuous super-gambit with leaving opponents pieces undeveloped and unprotected. And issuing a sad bill to him for that afterwards
Whoa so glad I have found your channel Jonathan, you inspired me to start playing chess some years ago with your online lessons on st louis club channel. This gambit seems like a lot of fun, definitely going to try this
as for august 18th 2022 there are over 23k games in the lichess' db that reached the position that arises at move 6 (6. Nc3) Jonathan is an amazing theoretician and an extraordinary forerunner! :D
Wow so i was initially excited to see johnathon schrantz, my favorite STL openings guy. The one time i met you, you mentioned to watch your twitch but im not really familiar with twitch. So Then seeing him playing the bishop's opening which i play along with scotch was even more fantastic. I love the urosov gambit but true nobody accepts it so i usually follow that line with Re1, i thought it was the morphy attack or gambit part of the max lange. However when i play this i feel like I'm not getting enough. This video hit all the right notes and ill def look to try it out. Also maybe you could do a video on the italian-koltanowski aka deutz gambit. Thanks a lot, looking forward to more videos
You are exactly the chess channel I've been looking for. I don't have it in me to play tons of games looking for one pawn advantage king end games. Bonus because the bishops opening is also my favorite
5:20 so, I got to this same position a few nights ago while playing against my son, who is much better at chess than I am. I missed that bishop moved and it ended in a draw. 🤦🏽♂️😅 Glad I have the solution now! Thank you!
From when I look on my engine it says the declined lines to the nakhmanson are better of nc3 on move six rather than taking the knight with the pawn. From those lines you are just up a pawn with a slightly passive position and black can make some mistakes it is generally easier but here is what I've found 6Nc6 then white either puts their queen or rook on the E file, in both cases black blocks with his bishop then Nd5 is played by white pressureing the bishop. After this the c4 bishop is taken by the queen or in the rook variation, the bishop on e7 is taken by the knight taken back with a knight then queen takes pawn on d4 is played. This is still playable for white but better for black, in the the r1 line if black doesn't castle after qxd4 then it is mate in 5.
Is there an analysis of the line 8...Ke8, 9.Re1 Qf6? Seems ok for black and relatively easy to play (for black) with all natural moves. Am I missing something?
Good question. You take the knight with your pawn hoping they'll take again with their pawn. 8 times out of 10, they do, leaving files open for attack. Then you give check with rook, they block with bishop but it's pinned so you can hop up with your knight, threatening the family fork. They're already very lost at this point. If they castle, the only logical move, you jump up with your queen threatening mate. Usually, they'll take your knight with bishop, you'll take their bishop with your bishop, threatening queen. They'll attack your queen with pawn, but you just shift forward, they defend queen with knight but you lop it off with rook and then it's mate in four.
After 8...Ke8, you should probably address the black defensive manoeuvre Qf6...Be7...Qf7, which is easy to draw against using the standard plan - Rxe4, Bg5, Rae1 and Rf4 - but it is not immediately obvious how to create real winning chances.
Joke's on you Johnathan, I HAVE heard of this gambit! :D Seriously though, I never ended up using it because there wasn't a good video on it, so thank you so much! The bishop's opening is my favorite as well (':
There's not much master games (OTB, 2200+ elo) played on this gambit. But if you change the database games on Lichess to the games played online on Lichess you will find 2079 games. It's not a lot indeed, I think it accounts for like 2% or 3% of the games played on that position before 6.Nc3. Anyway I like the idea. Would you consider playing this gambit OTB?
what if the black king doesn't take the white bishop? then the queen move won't be a check and the black knight can be defended with d5. Should one accept both pieces for it to work? usually, if I see someone gambiting things like crazy, i take only one, if I feel a trap is coming. one is enough
If white goes Knight C3 on the 6th move, then Nxc3 (Knight takes Knight) or simply D5 by black is heavily favoring black, is it not? If black goes Nxc3, then black just follows up with D5. Pretty much, D5 thwarts this whole thing once black pawn is on D4 (via exd4). If Black does not take that knight with dxc3, black is very favored to win, right?
Absolutely! As luck would have it I won a game against an International Master who played 6. ... Nxc3 against me and a video is coming soon. Thanks for the suggestion!
5:44 "We're down to 2 games it the database, nobody's done this, nobody knows about this." Now March 2022 (almost 2 years later), Nc3 has been played 16,755 times in the database!
If instead of pawn taking on c3 doesn't this gambit just leave you down if they take with the knight instead? you take back with the pawn but now you are just down a pawn overall after then take back?
At 9:55, when Black plays Kf6, why not play Bg5? If Kf6, Bg5, Nxg5, Qxg5, you're then attacking the queen behind the king as well, winning black's whole queen? If Black doesnt take on g5, then Black HAS to play Kg6, but then white still wins Black's queen by Bxd8
I like the blackmar deimer gambit, the idea is to play d4 d5 e4! Then if he takes e4 to later play f3 and force him to trade e for f pawns. He's up a pawn but white has open e and f files then casting there's already attacks on f7
got this in saved now seems fun my friends at the library are gonna love this

And as of Nc3 we have a completely new gambit.

Hi Jonathan, look at that incredible line after 8...Ke8 :
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 Nf6
4. d4 exd4
5. O-O Nxe4
6. Nc3 dxc3 (gambit Nakhmanson accepted)
7. Bxf7+ Kxf7
8. Qd5+ Ke8
9. Re1 Be7
10. Rxe4 h6? (preventing Bg5)
And now...
11. Bxh6!
If Rook takes, it's mate in one (Qg8#)
And...
11... gxh6 ?
12. Qh5+ Kf8 (only move)
13. Rf4+ Bf6 (only move other than getting mated in one)
14. Qg6!
And White win easily.
I played a very similar game to this when I came up with the knight sack too and ended up winning!

What happens if the black knight on e4 captures th knight on c3?
Then black is better and has no problems.
That is the line reccomended by GM Bologan in one of his books. Black is up a pawn, and White has no compesation at all.
How to play this if black moves bischop c5 after one movers bishop c4
what happens if he takes with his knight instead of the pawn?
sorry, im new in chess so if the solution is kind of obvious i apologize
He said something about this in another video
Also it seems most natural to take with the pawn as black, since that means black is up the exchange.

Thought so too
I pioneered the Nakhmanson on ICC 15 years ago.Never realized my games were being used to refine opening theory.
Keep dreaming.
Problem: My gambits don’t reward me with sound positions
Solution: the craziest gambit you’ve never heard of
Problem.is nobody EVER plays this at lower levels. Like nobody follows this exact pattern. Makes it impossible
Exactly
I learned that the hard way
I see this all the time. You can get there basically any time someone defends the Italian Game with two knights.
I see it a lot when playing the scotch
Yeah, the most aggressive opening but almost never work because nobody falls in it.
okay youtube stop suggesting this video to me, I have already watched it. Take this comment as proof, now leave me alone, youtube.

Thanks for this. I normally like to try for a Max Lange attack but so far I have not been impressed with other responses after Nxe4.
Could you also analyze the black's move N:Nc3 as the 6th move I think?
This kind of stuff is exactly why i play the pirc :D
There's not much master games (OTB, 2200+ elo) played on this gambit. But if you change the database games on Lichess to the games played online on Lichess you will find 2079 games. It's not a lot indeed, I think it accounts for like 2% or 3% of the games played on that position before 6.Nc3.

Only science lovers will understand this comment.Hey Vsauce,Michael here.😂😂
how does bishop G5 check after White moves their king to H6 look?
Hey johnathan..!! This is a nice one ..!! But one question. What if the black queen moves to f6 after Re1??
what if the black king doesn't take the white bishop? then the queen move won't be a check and the black knight can be defended with d5. Should one accept both pieces for it to work? usually, if I see someone gambiting things like crazy, i take only one, if I feel a trap is coming. one is enough
Thank you
I will definitely try it out
What about Bg5 after king goes on F6?
If white goes Knight C3 on the 6th move, then Nxc3 (Knight takes Knight) or simply D5 by black is heavily favoring black, is it not? If black goes Nxc3, then black just follows up with D5. Pretty much, D5 thwarts this whole thing once black pawn is on D4 (via exd4). If Black does not take that knight with dxc3, black is very favored to win, right?
Schrantz is so underrated
is it discovered when nakamura was adopting hansen??
what do you do if black plays 4...nxe4 instead of exd4?
Do you have any aggressive suggestions if black takes with knight instead (6...Nxc3)?
Absolutely! As luck would have it I won a game against an International Master who played 6. ... Nxc3 against me and a video is coming soon. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@JonathanSchrantz Awesome, looking forward to it! I gotta hit the bell now. :)
After Kxe7 why not Bc1 to Bg5?
It contains all the exuberant, reckless abandon of the Jerome but, unlike the Jerome, it is theoretically sound: nice opening.
Thanks, very interesting as a Scotch player! I was wondering if you could create some in-depth lichess studies for things like this and the Urusov?
5:44 "We're down to 2 games it the database, nobody's done this, nobody knows about this." Now March 2022 (almost 2 years later), Nc3 has been played 16,755 times in the database!
he means master not lichess
If instead of pawn taking on c3 doesn't this gambit just leave you down if they take with the knight instead? you take back with the pawn but now you are just down a pawn overall after then take back?
I would play this gambit when I am gambiting the game to catch my opponents off guard in the next game where they d think I can't play chess.
I've seen this move in a max Lange book. They recommend against it
At 9:55, when Black plays Kf6, why not play Bg5?
If Kf6, Bg5, Nxg5, Qxg5, you're then attacking the queen behind the king as well, winning black's whole queen?
If Black doesnt take on g5, then Black HAS to play Kg6, but then white still wins Black's queen by Bxd8
I like the blackmar deimer gambit, the idea is to play d4 d5 e4! Then if he takes e4 to later play f3 and force him to trade e for f pawns. He's up a pawn but white has open e and f files then casting there's already attacks on f7
So which is more aggressive the fried liver or this ?
Great find...Thanks...
Will try it as weapon in Bullet. Thx
Why to sacrifice the rook, when u can play the pawn ahead and sacrifice that?
9:42 bishop g5? After knight takes, queen takes knight, which guarantees the queen. No?
Knight on c6 protects the queen
I played my first nakhmanson in a sub 2000 rapid tournament today and was able to flag, so technically a win.
Why would he move the king twice?
