First of all, these videos mean a lot to me. I'm constantly going over this stuff, memorizing, and adding to my repetoire. I'm calling this the Boring Italian after Bored Trevor. I find it really fitting, in an ironic way of course, because it's a way to escape the actual boring lines
This line is Soul Crushing for opponents. I got a few of these, one guy was telling be to resign after he took my rook, then I went on to checkmate him. Ha. He wasn't to happy after I asked him if I should still resign after I won.
I'm trying to play this against stockfish 8 and it moves h4 every time instead of capturing g5 pawn and queen next move GRRR 😖 Moreover when i play bishop g4 pinning the knight it finds some good moves and eventually crushes me lmao But hopefully ppl aren't that clever and I'll be able to crush someone with this. It's really cool gambit. Great content. Thx for sharing this with us!
Ahhh yeah that is why my games against the Fish in this video started after Nxg5! Haha so yes white is ok after h4, as covered in the video, but black still has attacking chances and only a very small percentage of players in the database have done this correctly by white -- I think you are right that in practice, you'll score crushing wins more often than not. Thanks so much for your kind words!! :)
Yep Nxg5 is a huge blunder for white. Getting to this position is a guaranteed win but it might only happen if your opponent is being aggressive. Great line in the Italian but hey do you have an Italian Game repertoire video?
To be honnest, I like it and it is very fun to watch. However, everything can be denied by a simple c3 on move 6 ( as you said yourself in the video ). In the masters database, 90% of the games went 6. c3 (granted this does not concern me, but even then, at my level this move is the most played). If I were to play to get this line, I would be playing, hoping for my opponent to blunder, which never leads me anywhere good. However, I do think you are crazy good yourself. Me ? Not so much, so I can't pull any of those stunts. I have to earn each of my wins the regular way : the old art of flagging of course.
All your moves are recommended by Stockfish on my computer and on 13. h3 is played, not hxg3. hxg3 is not even a candidate. Also, I fished the first mention of this gambit and it's from Victor Knorre vs Mikhail Chigorin, St Petersburg (1874), so I guess it's a Chigorin gambit?
Yes, I cover the Stockfish recommended line in the video, uncommon though it may be. And you’re right - thanks for bringing the chigorin game to my attention! :) I’ll update the description
The only risk here is that white just might play the Ruy Lopez instead of the Italian on move 3, and if it is one thing I hate to play, it is indeed the Spanish...
Name suggestions? For at Italian queen sacrifice, I was thinking the "Diva Gambit" ... let me know what you think! :)
Donna (woman) or Regina (Queen) sacrifice?
Is this have a name already? Chigorin trap?

Your content is not only top notch educationally but also fun to watch!
Thank you!! Yours as well of course :)
I think Chigorin pioneered some of this, but I may be wrong.
What an awesome video! An honor to be one of the first 100 viewers :)

Pulling a double check checkmate against Mr. Fish is nassssty bro

Your videos have begun to answer a personally deep question about chess openings for me. Just awesome. Morphy VonFish,.

Wow, such a crusher to Busch Gass deniers
William, how did you get to this position?
Whoops, perhaps I should have watched more of the video before I commented

Victor Knorre v Mikhail Chigorin.
13.h3 instead and it’s only -.6, not a win for black.
you are correct! the line with that evaluation is covered in the video :)
for a straight minute,i thought you can en passant checkmate 6:26 💀
