I think this actually makes the kings gambit look better than it really is because h6 or f6 are both kinda shitty moves for black after Ng5 and are far from being the mainline these days. An immediate d5 is much better and really throws a wrench into whites aggressive plans.
@cstumpism when chess was first created there were only male pieces, being a gentlemans game, with modern piece refrences it has become a "she" but people do still refer to the queen as a he
@MegaLordNick92: when white tries king gambit against me, I always play Be7. My experience is that it destroys the attack (and the possibility of castling) for white. Good move.
@MegaLordNick92 Whites can play d4 for attacking the pawn and have 2 pawns at the center. Blacks must protect their pawn if they don't want to lose a move.
looks good.... but chess tituns didnt cooperate in its own demise [always a problem that!] and thrashed me 3 times in a row- black may lose defence but so does white
There is a third variation of the King's Gambit, called King's Gambit (Stupid). It occurs when your father plays Pawn to F5 when you attempt to use this opening against him.
This is the most idiotic gambit I've ever seen. Fastestcars2011 was right, why would he play g5 on 3.26? Why to protect pawn F4 if it is no threat bothering him/no piece who can attack it.
When i try this opening against the computer,it always moves queen to h4 to put me in check.Once i move my king out of check it then proceeds to clean up the two pawns i started out with.
Nice video! But what would you suggest to do if your opponent (with a board just like 4:29) move knight to f6. It blocks the queen on g4 and gives the chance for black to later put pressure on the center pawn with his queen. Hope to hear from you soon!
It sure looks great on the video, but whenever I play with someone they make completely diferent moves, for example the dont make their first move to the e5, but b7 to develop the bishop later.
if you REALLY want to know the opening, i'd suggest getting Johansson's newest fantastic king's (bishop) gambit which is a deep white to win repertoire book with best moves in most well known critical positions with room for you to add theory to your games as needed.
the author's book on gambits in the english is one of the deepest i've ever owned
this book is an update over his previous king's knight gambit repertoire favoring the stronger and less common Bc4 lines.
I quit playing KG in part because of the Nc3 lines in gallagher's book. i'd like to take it up again and know that johansson isn't going to leave a gambiteer clueless by move three like shiller. the theory in his english book is DENSE! on chapter has more theory than many BOOKS!
it's cool that it's written from white's perspective with replies to black's main lines. the entire book is what one needs to play KG with the most theory (NO junk!) behind it. his knight's gambit book is respected too
I don't understand why Black would move his pawn to G5. Nothing is threatening his F4 pawn so why would he try and protect it? It seems like the success of the King's Gambit depends on this seemingly unlikely move.
@jakoson7 seems pretty weak for black...develop bishop to c4, other knight to c3,rook n queen on f-file, take f pawn eventually and launch an attack on the king....his king side is vulnerable,take advantage of it. Also u can watch some of kings gambit games from 'chessgames' site and see for ideas.
@athas23 Do you even know how to play chess? with 2...Qh4+? There it comes 3.g3 and white can still castle, black is going to loose a time and white has a slight advantage.
@simson612 ok look what i wrote, if you look at all this comments, you should see that we all are saying that the queen check is ON THE SECOND MOVE, not the third, so f4 cannot take on g3, cuz' there is no black pawn on f4. I wrote 2...Qh4+? not 3...Qh4+
The Allgaier gambit is unsound. After 8. Qxf4, black simply plays Bd6 driving the queen back to f2. It can be a little tricky, but black will always come out better with accurate play.
Oh Yeah I wanted to say Thank you Kevin, I won a match with this move against a 1600 rated guy once, so You were right about not knowing how to defend it propertly.
I think the example is for a weak player, since black won't defend the pawn won without it being attacked. A good player will develop its pieces and, if it desires to keep its extra pawn will do so when it is attacked (which isn't something that white can do quickly).
Also, black has no obligation to take the pawn right away, and anyone who tries to study this opening must be aware of the possibility of a counter-gambit..
Anyhow, the tutorial is good for starters who want to learn KG.
What do you do if your opponent takes a completely different route than shown in this video? I keep trying this strategy against my PC and it keeps moving in unexpected ways, and you never really demonstrated how to respond to certain variations.
@leecfb000 when you say different route do you mean they don't play e5 or something else? I wasn't quite sure what you were asking. I will be making additional videos on the KG very soon
@zambesis bishop to d6(if he makes before pawn d5) will strangle black as his other bishop cannot come out easily...u have a tempo,i.e, u develop faster and attack his k side
@leecfb000 i think you should think how to response on it. dont rely too much in the video cause every person has different strategy. chess is about thinking.
When white plays e4 and Black plays e5 then white has the option of going for Kings Gambit with f4
then there are half a dozen moves that Black can reply , you can go to a Book store and see a shelf of Books on the Kings GAmbit , and you cna fill a wall in a Book Store with all the chess openings and theories . Some of the smartest people in History have devoted years of their life to studying chess .
@leecfb000 Playing against a computer means that your playing something that recognizes patterns. Try it against a person, a local park has people looking to play; check there.
@CanduresFKN yeah i thought same thing. This tutorial is no good really after the first few moves because by that time your opponent can do a number of things differently, and I dont think being down 2 major pieces is worth the position.
@DLPBurke I do like it because it does 3 major things to black. It forks the queen and a rook (too things) and it forces black's king to move, giving up his castle. And I sympathize with the opponent moving differently then this video, but what I like to do is, when black moves differently from the vids instruction, is pause from the gambit, and resume it when black makes the right move. I would just develop more pieces if that's the case.
@MrMagretic Again this is not how to play the King's Gambit. You can't "build around a same way" here. You have to go all the way back to move 5 to get something promising. The main idea of the line here is bad. No, I don't have to play this line because this video says to but a video that recommends a bad variation is not a good video. Saying the main line presented is awful and lost for white is not 'focusing on the negative.' You can learn from bad chess, but it shouldn't be shown as good.
@MrMagretic As one of the 7, I don't like this video because 5. Ng5 has been analyzed a lot and is only probably a loss for white (5. Ne5 is good.) 7. Qxg4, pawn grabbing and bringing out the queen early is so bad it's been ignored by theory so this annotator thinks he's onto something new but (as many of us have already said) 7... Nf6 8. Qxf4 Bd6 is hopelessly lost for White (8. e5? Bxe5!) The 7 haters are likely the only ones who pay enough attention/know enough chess to see it.
@ne0romantic Not necessarily that 7 know to play Chess. Agreed some moves are wrong and shouldn't been played so early, but why dislike it? This video was obviously to help the other begginers to have a chance to catch up, as they evolve, they will realize simple mistakes as well. This was probably just a simple start to chess.
@MrMagretic this promotes bad moves and backs them up with bad analysis. That's a good enough reason to dislike it. If you play the recommended lines in this video against someone who knows what they are doing you will lose 100% of the time. This is not how you play the King's Gambit and it's not good to tell to beginners to play like this. Yes, anyone can put up a youtube video, but writing chess website on it makes crap seem credible. In the age of free information crap like this is the enemy.
@ne0romantic He is showing an example of the kings gambit. You can always adapt it to your way. It shows you to analyze what to do in SOME situations. You obviously are thinking you have to go by this order, no, thats not how showing chess strategies work. Change the settings to your way, while still maintain the same way of using the kings gambit. This is how true chess players create their way playing chess.
@MrMagretic KG is a sharp opening. One wrong move will lose the game very quickly. As far as showing analysis vs general strategy this video is intended to show actual analysis meaning, yes, you are supposed to make the moves Keven recommends in the positions he's recommending them. If you mistake it for a general stratagy, play *something* like this when you play the KG it's still bad. He's telling beginners to move the queen out early and grab pawns in the opening. Poor, poor chess.
@ne0romantic Even if he tells you to make the moves of what "he thinks" you don't have to. Of course your not going to go the EXACT same moves as he did. Situations happen. A kings gambit is a way to sacrifice your pieces to focus on a strong attack. Against a knowledgeable player, he will change plans and try to ruin yours, and here is where you have to adapt.
@MrMagretic The King's Gambit is 1. e4 e5 2. f4, not a general idea of sacrificing pieces and focusing on a strong attack but a specific opening with a specific move order. An opening video like this one is instruction on what EXACT moves to play. That's opening theory. Of course if you study the opening you *are* going to play the EXACT moves you studied. There are good chess videos on Youtube, and this one gets the most hits and best reviews for KG?! You're not helping with good reviews.
@MrEmil20 In that case you should retreat the queen with a clearly lost position and stop believing everything you see in videos, lol. 5. Ne4 is what you should have played if you want to play the King's Gambit, or maybe 3. Bc4 which is a little better. 5. Ng5 probably loses the game and 7. Qxg4 certainly loses it. This is known theory published in chess books and in other places on the web. How an instructional video from someplace claiming to a be 'chess website' can miss it is beyond me.
@MrEmil20 I would push the pawn on e4 to e5 and for him between the bishop and knight.... i dont claim to know much about chess tho....it just seems like a good move
Hello Kevin, I have been watching your videos and they are great.
Yesterday I played this match and my opponent came up with this gambit I have never seen before. (Of course I'm new at chess, been playing like for 3 months now)
And well, the chess site called it "Rousseau Gambit" which starts with the Kings opening and after e4-e5 / Nf3-Nf6 / Bc4... here the guy played f5.
I was wondering if you could make a video about this gambit so we all know what to do against it. Thank you!
@MagoMinelli oh I didn't see the Pawn there but if the pawn wasn't there then still it would be good right the queen would retreat losing momentum and White can prolly do some good moves after
I cant get your voice out of my head!!! Everything I do is narrated like.. "Ok, now were just gonna put the toothpaste on the brush here. Were gonna wanna start on the left side bottom to avoid the cavity. *swollows spit* umm now were just gonna go to the right here and if cavity tries to hurt were simply going to move to the top umm".. DAMN IT
@visciousfootstomps lolol I get that as well. Every time I castle kingside and think of moving my f-pawn up I hear "weaksauce move" in my head -from najdorf video
After 1.e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. h4 g4 5.Ng5 h6 6.Nxf7 Kxf7 7. Qxg4 Nf6 8.Qxf4 Bd6, Black is much better. The King's Gambit is inferior. The Allgaier Gambit (5.Ng5) is much worse than 5.Ne5. Recommending crappy openings to beginners only retards their progress. They should be taught sound opening principles.
black will turn out to have a big advantage with this gameplay lol.its so easy to counter attack white queen after capturing the black pawn at f4 while forking the knight. black has a trap by moving the black bishop to d6 which provokes white to move the pawn e6 forking both black bishop and the knight, Black will capture the pawn and queen takes bishop and after that rook to e1 forking the white queen to its king!!!
I'm confused. Do you really want to castle on king's side after moving out F and H pawns? I mean, isn't that a bad castle and your king completely unprotected? I'm a beginner in chess tactics and I thought this is a basic thing.
@Hebbu99 In the lines he's showing it makes the most sense to castle king side because it becomes an offensive move moving the rook to the F file baring down on blacks king.
Thanks so much i have a tournament tomorrow so this will definetly help! Ur the best! =)

And I sympathize with the opponent moving differently then this video, but what I like to do is, when black moves differently from the vids instruction, is pause from the gambit, and resume it when black makes the right move. I would just develop more pieces if that's the case.

It's going to be difficult to implement the same strategic play in a real game because everyone saw this video.

is this line in the King's Gambit called the Pierce Gambit? (involving the early knight sacrifice on f7)

@MrMagretic Again this is not how to play the King's Gambit. You can't "build around a same way" here. You have to go all the way back to move 5 to get something promising. The main idea of the line here is bad. No, I don't have to play this line because this video says to but a video that recommends a bad variation is not a good video. Saying the main line presented is awful and lost for white is not 'focusing on the negative.' You can learn from bad chess, but it shouldn't be shown as good.

7 people don't know how to play chess
MrMagretic 10 months ago
@MrMagretic As one of the 7, I don't like this video because 5. Ng5 has been analyzed a lot and is only probably a loss for white (5. Ne5 is good.) 7. Qxg4, pawn grabbing and bringing out the queen early is so bad it's been ignored by theory so this annotator thinks he's onto something new but (as many of us have already said) 7... Nf6 8. Qxf4 Bd6 is hopelessly lost for White (8. e5? Bxe5!) The 7 haters are likely the only ones who pay enough attention/know enough chess to see it.
ne0romantic 10 months ago
@ne0romantic Not necessarily that 7 know to play Chess. Agreed some moves are wrong and shouldn't been played so early, but why dislike it? This video was obviously to help the other begginers to have a chance to catch up, as they evolve, they will realize simple mistakes as well. This was probably just a simple start to chess.
MrMagretic 10 months ago
@MrMagretic this promotes bad moves and backs them up with bad analysis. That's a good enough reason to dislike it. If you play the recommended lines in this video against someone who knows what they are doing you will lose 100% of the time. This is not how you play the King's Gambit and it's not good to tell to beginners to play like this. Yes, anyone can put up a youtube video, but writing chess website on it makes crap seem credible. In the age of free information crap like this is the enemy.
ne0romantic 10 months ago
@ne0romantic He is showing an example of the kings gambit. You can always adapt it to your way. It shows you to analyze what to do in SOME situations. You obviously are thinking you have to go by this order, no, thats not how showing chess strategies work. Change the settings to your way, while still maintain the same way of using the kings gambit. This is how true chess players create their way playing chess.
MrMagretic 10 months ago
@MrMagretic KG is a sharp opening. One wrong move will lose the game very quickly. As far as showing analysis vs general strategy this video is intended to show actual analysis meaning, yes, you are supposed to make the moves Keven recommends in the positions he's recommending them. If you mistake it for a general stratagy, play *something* like this when you play the KG it's still bad. He's telling beginners to move the queen out early and grab pawns in the opening. Poor, poor chess.
ne0romantic 10 months ago
@ne0romantic Even if he tells you to make the moves of what "he thinks" you don't have to. Of course your not going to go the EXACT same moves as he did. Situations happen. A kings gambit is a way to sacrifice your pieces to focus on a strong attack. Against a knowledgeable player, he will change plans and try to ruin yours, and here is where you have to adapt.
MrMagretic 10 months ago
@MrMagretic The King's Gambit is 1. e4 e5 2. f4, not a general idea of sacrificing pieces and focusing on a strong attack but a specific opening with a specific move order. An opening video like this one is instruction on what EXACT moves to play. That's opening theory. Of course if you study the opening you *are* going to play the EXACT moves you studied. There are good chess videos on Youtube, and this one gets the most hits and best reviews for KG?! You're not helping with good reviews.

MrEmil20 11 months ago
@MrEmil20 In that case you should retreat the queen with a clearly lost position and stop believing everything you see in videos, lol. 5. Ne4 is what you should have played if you want to play the King's Gambit, or maybe 3. Bc4 which is a little better. 5. Ng5 probably loses the game and 7. Qxg4 certainly loses it. This is known theory published in chess books and in other places on the web. How an instructional video from someplace claiming to a be 'chess website' can miss it is beyond me.

@MrEmil20 I would push the pawn on e4 to e5 and for him between the bishop and knight.... i dont claim to know much about chess tho....it just seems like a good move

Hello Kevin, I have been watching your videos and they are great.
Yesterday I played this match and my opponent came up with this gambit I have never seen before. (Of course I'm new at chess, been playing like for 3 months now)
And well, the chess site called it "Rousseau Gambit" which starts with the Kings opening and after e4-e5 / Nf3-Nf6 / Bc4... here the guy played f5.
I was wondering if you could make a video about this gambit so we all know what to do against it. Thank you!

I dont get at 2:07 when the queen checked why didnt white just move the pawn to G3
TheKoolera 11 months ago
@TheKoolera
Because then the pawn at f4 will take it?... and white will be down 2... maybe later 3 pawns.
MagoMinelli 11 months ago
@MagoMinelli oh I didn't see the Pawn there but if the pawn wasn't there then still it would be good right the queen would retreat losing momentum and White can prolly do some good moves after
TheKoolera 11 months ago
@TheKoolera
Yup... but the pawn IS there :p

@TheKoolera
after the pawn moves to g3:
7.....fxg3
8. Nf3--g2 OR 8. hxg3--QxRh1
9. Nxh4--gxh1 (promotion to Queen, and white is down a rook)

Works on beginners, or people who have never seen it. too easy to counter. White ends up down a knight with no real development advantage.

After 1.e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. h4 g4 5.Ng5 h6 6.Nxf7 Kxf7 7. Qxg4 Nf6 8.Qxf4 Bd6, Black is much better. The King's Gambit is inferior. The Allgaier Gambit (5.Ng5) is much worse than 5.Ne5. Recommending crappy openings to beginners only retards their progress. They should be taught sound opening principles.
henrybird 1 year ago
black will turn out to have a big advantage with this gameplay lol.its so easy to counter attack white queen after capturing the black pawn at f4 while forking the knight. black has a trap by moving the black bishop to d6 which provokes white to move the pawn e6 forking both black bishop and the knight, Black will capture the pawn and queen takes bishop and after that rook to e1 forking the white queen to its king!!!

I'm confused. Do you really want to castle on king's side after moving out F and H pawns? I mean, isn't that a bad castle and your king completely unprotected? I'm a beginner in chess tactics and I thought this is a basic thing.
Hebbu99 1 year ago
@Hebbu99 In the lines he's showing it makes the most sense to castle king side because it becomes an offensive move moving the rook to the F file baring down on blacks king.
