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.
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

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 (':
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
Hello Jonathan. I am a Scotch Gambit player. From my experience, black rarely take the pawn that is hanging. Perhaps for "psychologic" reasons they will take it more often if you arrive at the position coming from the italian...Anyway I am going to study this an add it to my bag of tricks! Thank you very much!
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.
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!
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?
I really like going for things like fried liver attack and this seems like a very different way to do a similar attack, that's really cool! I hope I get a few interesting games trying this out!!
The easiest way for black to avoid the attack, is to deny the gambit by playing Nd6 on move 6. This protects the f7 pawn and attacks the bishop on c4. Preventing the bishop sacrifice on f7. After white saves their knight, black can just take the bishop with the d6 knight. A continuation could be: 6. Nc3 Nd6 7. Qe2+ Be7 8. Nd5 Nxc4 9. Qxc4 O-O 10. Nxd4 Nxd4 11. Qxd4 d6 And black is completely fine, up a pawn.
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?
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.
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.

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.
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.

Hey johnathan..!! This is a nice one ..!! But one question. What if the black queen moves to f6 after Re1??
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?
I really like going for things like fried liver attack and this seems like a very different way to do a similar attack, that's really cool! I hope I get a few interesting games trying this out!!
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.
The easiest way for black to avoid the attack, is to deny the gambit by playing Nd6 on move 6.
This protects the f7 pawn and attacks the bishop on c4. Preventing the bishop sacrifice on f7.
After white saves their knight, black can just take the bishop with the d6 knight.
A continuation could be:
6. Nc3 Nd6 7. Qe2+ Be7 8. Nd5 Nxc4 9. Qxc4 O-O 10. Nxd4 Nxd4 11. Qxd4 d6
And black is completely fine, up a pawn.
Yeah, the most aggressive opening but almost never work because nobody falls in it.
Nice!
5:01 -- *Heresy!*
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.
Thank u John :)
Dubious becomes devious.
Saving the move order in the description helps.
I have played a couple times. Had problems closing the deal. Opponent gave up as I continued to just take material.
Time: 12:13, what if he played. Ne7 instead?
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?
I luv gambits! Thnx!!!!!
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
Congrats, 63K people now know your brilliant secret haha
yes, but how many can refute it?
The countersecret is that knight should take instead of the pawn..this Romantic era style chess is therefore never played at top-level.
there's a reason i found this and am watching diligently ...to avoid getting busted again (as Black)
