I have played this gambit many times, and often my opponent loses because he didn't invest in nuclear missile defence systems. Always be prepared for nuclear warfare before playing chess
Funny enough taking the pawn is worse than taking the bishop cuz if you take the pawn Nc6 traps the queen (followed by Ne8). Just bring back the queen instead of taking stuff if they play e4. Hope this helps :)
I actually discovered this move on my own by accident a few weeks ago. My opponent thought it was so impressive that when I had a mouse slip and fucked up taking the queen, he blundered on purpose so I could have my moment
3:39 just as a warning, this is sort of risky. In the rare event that this whole thing works, assuming that your opponent has fallen for this entire scheme up until now and then decides to awaken their inner 6th sense and git gud, then after taking the pawn Nc6 is a poisonous trap that wins the queen back after Nd5. Impossible that you’ll have gotten this far and then they play this, but now you know.
“You underestimate the power of my chess you fool!! I must only respond with a simple inverted Estonian guard to complete counter your misuse of the frog foot offensive(played from black, var.3 with revision)!!” Is how I imagine chess players to think
3:39 Do not take the pawn on c7! Nc6 traps your queen! I have been playing this variation for years and ran into this very early on. Just move your queen back, Qd1 or Qd3+ are both good.
3:40 Don’t take the pawn. If you take the pawn, Black can play Nc6 and your queen has no safe squares. No matter what you do, Black can play Ne8 next move and win the Queen back. What you should do is play Qd3+ to get your queen back to safety.

I just saw this video and tried to implement in my game...the opponent fell for it and in the chat he wrote "I literally just saw Gotham's video about this line"...I was like "Sorry missile recipient"
3:40 Don't take the pawn because after Nc6 Your queen can't go anywhere, black can then force you to give it up for a knight with Ne8 on the next move. I checked this with stockfish so I can guarantee it is a blunder, Instead you should retreat.
Don't listen to Levy at 3:38,capturing the pawn on c7 is a terrible blunder. Because after you capture c7, black develops his knight to c6, and after black plays that move you can't move the queen anywhere to escape from the other knight coming to e8 or d5 capturing the queen, and then you just lose.
After playing against this gambit and my opponent blundered his queen, I was fortunate to win and I was eager to check what this gambit is. It was really like a missile was launched at me. What a wonderful gambit to fall for especially if you are playing against it for the first time. Gotham and his Wonderful gambit repertoire.
Yeah I'm baffled here. You are up a queen and your king stands all alone in the middle. Just castle him and play some quiet development moves and you are almost guaranteed to win. No need to grab material while your king is literally covered by a single pawn.
I played Kings Gambit and arrived at this position with one pawn difference. In bullet, losing a piece might not lose a game, but the horror of losing a queen that early in the game makes one forget the two pieces in comp.
I just had been a missile recipient once in similar fashion and since then I have stopped attacking pawn😁🤪. Good to see ICMB and the way it works. Good video brother. God bless you with 500k subs. 🙏
It's not really a reverse Stafford because a lot of Stafford ideas don't work because black can play e6. I play the Boden-Kierseritsky against the Petrov which has the same ideas as the Stafford plus is a tempo up

I love your video! It's such a good explanation of the Tennison Gambit, just wonderful content. I do have a question however. Currently, I'm like a 700 player so I might be stupid IM AWARE but hear me out. At 3:38 you say instead of the move Qxc8, you should play Qxc7. I believe this is a mistake like Qxc8, because Black can then play Nc6, which, with a very beautiful geometry, traps your Queen, making every move she has a tragedy. Then Nd8 or Ne5 pulls the trigger on the one space she had left. Instead, I think White should adopt a "take the money and run" approach to the Tennison Gambit, where they play Qd3+, Qd2, or Qd1 to just get their Queen out of Black's territory. Just my thoughts, thank you!
If this gambit trap isn’t working for you guys because they aren’t accepting the pawn on d3, I have a solution. Instead of offering the pawn directly, push it two squares. This allows them to accept it all the same but the only difference is that they HAVE to accept it because now it’s an en passant and if they are below 1300 they’ll immediately resign if they pass up the chance to play en passant.
