    This a was a good video thanks for making it.
    At 6:20 Nc7 forking the Rook is nice but Nf6 forking the queen is an option... especially since we just moved the pawn defending that square just the move prior.

      @@bannor216 That just turns into the advanced variation. Anyone who plays the French sees that all the time, it's just usually played after 2. d4. Unless you take en passant on d6, giving black a pushed center pawn and a developed bishop while you have every piece on the back rank still. The engine likes 2. ...c5 better though, challenging d4.

    At 6:12 you capture the knight with the Rook (Rxh6) rather than the bishop (Bxh6), and then black recaptures (gxh6). I can't figure out why you'd give up the rook rather than the bishop. I plugged the position into an engine and it agrees trading the rook (+6 vs +4 capturing with bishop).

  • @shoman7205
    @shoman7205 Год назад

    @8.19, black can go Bxf2 which makes white loose castling and when you take with your king after Qf6 they grab the bisschop and it's not easy for white to win. Or did I miss something?

      @builderphill1361 3 года назад

      I don't think there's many aggressive gambits against the scandinavian as black is usually gambiting(a word?) a decent position with quick queen movement. I recommend trying to get a tempo on black by using the queen's generally vulnerable position to develop pieces so you're more developed than black is.

  • @Chess-Gyaan

    For French defence players , 1e4 e6 2c4 d5 3cxd5 exd5 4Qb3 dxe4 5Bc4 Qe7 6Nc3 Nf6 7d3 Nc6 and black is much better . You can compare the activity of pieces your knight are going to come jumping in the middle of the board next and white will be having trouble coordinating his pieces. You can even play 7exd3 Be3 8 d2+ Kf1 and then castle your king on Qside and attack his uncastled king . Just to verify my knowledge of French sidelines I checked orthoscnopp with the engine and as expected engine gives -1.50.

  • @DavidEmerling79
    @DavidEmerling79 3 года назад

    The moves 1.e4 e6 2.c4 d5 have occurred 578 times in master level play according to the Lichess database. I was surprised to see that White has played 3.exd5 in the vast majority of those games (469 times), not 5.cxd5 (98 times). The database also refers to 2.c4 as the Steiner Variation.
    So, my question is this: What move characterizes the Orthoschnapp Gambit? Is it 2.c4 or 3.cxd5?
    Also, I think a not-too-unlikely response from Black, to protect his f7 square, could be something other than 5...Qe7, 5...Qd7 or 5...Nh6. Black could play 5...Qf6. This still protects f7 while blocking neither bishop.
