Kings Gambit: Muzio Gambit Variation

[DeSTruCT0MaCHiNe]

The computer is continuously checking my king with it's kingside bishop is I can't seem to find a defense which works with this style gambit

[Totiloz]

Hi i'm trying to learn chess and i have a question, why does white have to move knight to c3 at 9:04 , and not directly move bishop to d4?

[Cooljmon1]

Chris....WHAT'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!

[harKazoid86]

I love the King's Gmabit! I'm a mainly 1.d4 player, I love positional chess, my only opening in my repertoire that starts 1.e4 is the KG - I've never played the muzio/double muzio but I'm deffo gonna try this out online before playing it in my club games or tournaments!! Wickid vid!! :)

[m0skit0zindahouse]

I'm practising the King's Gambit heavily and I really enjoyed this line and the explanations. Nice work, I'll give it a try!

[VickEqualsCheat]

10. Bd4 is 10 times better than NC3

[favoredsongs]

There are so many solid defenses that crumble that Gambit in no time...

[favoredsongs]

Why don't you ever suggest Bg7 or Bh6 for Black????

[favoredsongs]

After 11:45 you are saying if the black Bishop comes to c5, then Kh1 and then Nc3 instead of e5? Why does that Bishop move exclude that possibility?

[MrBiggboss2]

but on 13 somthing you can play knight e7

[tranc3r2012]

hi kevin, thanks for the video! at 10.00 after the queen takes the knight and the bishop attacks the queen, the queen can move to c6 and defend the knight and i can't find a good response from white to keep the attack going. am i missing something? thanks!

[bagamer13]

awesome

[OverLordGoldDragon]

5:30 what should white to if black bishop c5, white king h8, and black queen takes the pawn?

[WOGI5M]

how old are you?



[mopbrothers]

Black Queen at 9:40 can come take white knight and go back to c6 defending the black knight. White wasted his pieces...

[FromMuToYou]

@mopbrothers

Bxf6 and now white threatens discovered check and potentially checkmate.

@mastikhor91

The simple g3! forces the queen away from h4 with the added attacker on f4.

Black is much better off avoiding Qh4 in my opinion.

[mopbrothers]

@FromMuToYou yeah, but that doesn't mean the black will lose his queen.

[FromMuToYou]

@mopbrothers

I never said he would lose his queen. All it does is let white move g3 without a loss in tempo.

[mopbrothers]

@FromMuToYou I didnt say you said that. I'm saying Kevin was wrong about black being forced to lose his queen.

[mopbrothers]

Queen could come to c6 9:40 and black king would be safe.

[izveglic]

Great video, I like the way You elaborate the moves...The only problem is that NO ONE I face at chess board plays that badly...I ve tried this at least 20 times and not a single opponent followed the suicide moves You suggested, after first 5 moves....like someone already mentioned here, this is only good in bullet/blitz games.

[delboy723]

This is a fun opening to play in online blitz.

[mastikhor91]

Counter = Qh4

[Plzdontattack]

are u grandmaster?

do video on the reinsler attack?

[graciegjj]

Can this gambit be used by black?

[11pk1111]

what happens if black protects with f7 f6 instead of Qd8 f6?

[boswell255]

I realize it's not the Muzio, but after Kg5 at the beginning, what's to stop h6? The knight has no where to go and is completely lost....Am I missing something here? (probably, I'm only 1200 rated)

[jethrocao]

@boswell255 in kevin's vid on the king's gambit, that knight gets sac'd on black's f7 pawn to draw the king out

[boswell255]

@jethrocao Thanks! I thought there'd be a reason.

[WhiteSilverknight]

@thechesswebsite Could you please do Fischer's King's Indian Attack?

[PsychoRevolutionary]

After he advances the knight on G, can't he just fianchetto the bishop and be safe? After that he can castle

[Fenchai23]

bishops f6 to protrct black pawn and that will stop the trap ;) im only 1500s rating

[nakariri]

@Fenchai23 then you can move pawn to d4, to let bishop open for attack or possibly, move pawn to e5

[fisher00769]

10:42 After Bxf4 Houdini suggests Nf6 and gives black a decent edge.(around 1.6 pawns) Also after this, according to the engine the best move is Be5 and after the queen trades I don't find it difficult to play the position with black.

[55AkatsukiGirl]

what is the name of the software you use?

[thedemonkid203]

7: 39,what if black took on b2?



[HijenA]

at 15:00, after black plays d5 and white takes with exd5, why not play Bf7, thereby defending the knight with both queen and bishop. if white decided to sacrifice for example the bishop, the king can just take it with no repercusions. white would be forced to develop further and then black can develop some kind of counterplay. at least from my perspective, but i am a beginner in chess :-)

[deepblue208]

Is the knight trapped after f6 when the knight is on its outpost?

[marcoser926]

weird opening

[concept015]

8:00 u cant take with the bishop wtf

[SuperAwsomeness8]

@concept015 yes you can because you have doubled up the file with the rook and queen and if the queen takes the bishop then your queen takes the queen and black can't do anything about it.

[concept015]

@SuperAwsomeness8 didnt listen properly that "if the queen moves" without the queen moving u couldnt take the pawn obviously since it is pinned

[SuperAwsomeness8]

at 14:59 why don't you take with the bishop because taking with the knight is a mistake and taking with the queen kills black

[LOL1626]

i wish more of my opponents would play this -.-

[stickdude566]

when are we going to see one of your OWN games?

[Kmars121]

Hey kevin, I played this line and got e4 e5 f4 exf4 nf3 g5 h4 g4 ng5 h6, what should I do? Please respond!

[Mircose]

Hello Kevin... thanks for the videos.... please keep them coming.. you are doing a very good job... I really like all your videos... you take the time to show the moves properly without rushing... I like it..

[mdaugherty1221]

Just played this, and the first game it was accepted I won. Thanks for the video!

[peybak]

In general, King's gambit works great for me online.

[JohnnyBlasc]

Nice

[graciegjj]

This is awesome.

[ethanara]

Hi Kevin

Do you have any pgns or other format of the theory in this opening?

If you have, you have a sub from me :)

[michaelmessi321]

also at 9:10 can blacks queen just take the c2 pawn¿

and 12:11 if he moves knight to h6



[michaelmessi321]

also at 9:10 can blacks queen just take the c2 pawn¿

[michaelmessi321]

at 1:55 cant knigh just go to e5 i think its a good move

[michaelmessi321]

nevermind 4get it

wonderful gambit

[michaelmessi321]

wat if at 9:01 he moves king bak to e1

[johnqwertyful]

Awesome video. I'm going to try this gambit a few times. I already played it against a computer. Whenever I play e4 and he counters with e5, I have the game.

[armoredfalconoid71]

10:12 for black how is Qc6

[thegambitking]

This is my ALL-TIME favourite opening--it is the opening that will keep me coming back and playing chess, no matter what! Peter Millican, one of the best correspondence gurus, had written a treatise on the Double Muzio Gambit which is now unavailable. Luckily, though, I have it, and it includes reams and reams of analysis, finally coming to the correct conclusion that White is pressing for a win in all lines. Steinitz's 9. ...Qf5?! isn't so strong after 10. Bxf4! (and not 10. g4?!) ...TRY IT!

[BmaRayCyrus]

whats the name of the opening were you play

e4, e5

Nc3, Nc6

than f4, xf4

but thanks for the video, i like your opening best :)

and Kings gambit is verry fun to use in fast games

[noxure]

@BmaRayCyrus Vienna game, gambit variation. But in a different move order. :-)

[TheGamerJoseph]

I think this is where you're at your best, Kevin. Describing openings, variations of openings, traps, etc. I've recommended you to others, and my recommendation is always for your videos on openings and, for novice players, your videos on basic chess strategy.

Kudos

[silenceiswar]

"this is an opening that excites me" lolol...I am such a pervert.

[MoPar7055]

Good stuff Mr. Kevin, I approve.

[7777Ralph]

I use to play the Muzio, but it's easier said than done that's for sure. The opportunity for it also rarely presents itself. There is actually an amazing game played by naka here on youtube where he plays the Muzio gambit and wins. It's one of the few games I've seen that I'll never forget.

[rahuld3eora]

Horrible Video, sooo many loop holes in this gambit, its absolutely useless unless your opponent, and not you, is retarded.

I generally like your videos

But please take this video down, its a disgrace to your channel

[falconmanracer]

@rahuld3eora You're a disgrace. Get lost asshole.

[thegambitking]

@rahuld3eora Ha ha, why would Alexei Shirov have played this at Daugavpils then??? I'd take you on as White with this any time, any day--and win! Best for Black is to never play ...g4 and to play ...Bg7 instead!

[LeJo82]

wow I love it. I treid king's gambit accepted but more then often my opponent doesn't accept and plays d5 instead. So e4-e5 and f4 -d5... Do you have a video on that variation ? Or could you possibly make one ? Thx for all the great videos.

[thedemonkid203]

@LeJo82 its called the falkbeer counter gambit, not a bad opening either

[xactxx]

Also, at 14:48, what if Black plays Bg7 instead of d5, threatening to castle next move?

[xactxx]

At 12:24, what if Black plays c6? White cannot put his Knight on d5 then.

[xdeclannn]

what happens if instead at the opening for black he protects his porn with his black bishop?

[LeJo82]

@xdeclannn I would play pawn d3 opening the way for your black bischop...

[failboy98]

hey kevin can you try and make a vid at least evrey week thanks

[brahamella]

Thanks for making these videos. Much Appreciated!!!!

[08Mryuvraj]

Thanks Kevin, Actually yours is the name I hate most. My gf's bf's name ~.~ But nice to hear familiar voice amongst chaos of Kingcrusher s and chess.com s. Kudos to Bobby fischer, people tend to stay away from Kings gambit, as he religiously busted it out of business. So, many people are unaware of the damage this line can inflict. Nice work, its appreciated.

[MACkOFIRE]

2010 World Blitz Championship: Nakamura Vs. Andreikin? O.o

[020stevenleu]

people actually play that opening?

[Larigiano]

WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU PLAY !!

[flowerofsilver]

"It's just going to be GG..." Hahaha, love it.

[TheHeadshotM]

gobble gobble

[Peyoutreaux]

09:45

What if queen goes to c6? he'll keep the queen but lose the knight?

[DanielManahan]

Good reasong to play 1... c5 avoid all this

thanks for the great analysis

[ac0ustic69]

At 9:55 why cant black queen move to C6, still having a defender on F6?

[clintbreed]

very cool gambit

[Zheng261]

why was this not in my sub box >.>

[Shadowboost]

At 9:16, might as well play Bd4 instead of Nc3, really screws Black

[kamiakin5]

@Shadowboost yeah, i was really confused with Nc3 first. maybe the connecting of the rooks is really important for this attack?

[thechesswebsite]

@Shadowboost playing Nc3 is an important move as it allows to connect the rooks, and after black takes bishop and white captures back with his queen and Bg7, white can then play 15. Rxf6 Bxf6 16. Rf1.

[ANSIcode]

@thechesswebsite As I see it, after Bd4! black is kind of compeled to sack his queen to avoid mate and other very nasty stuff. Looks better than Nc3 in my opinion, too.

[copper4eva]

watch the 2010 world blitz championship in the related section it shows a good way to defend this as black. Black lost but its still a good video to watch if your interested in this line of play at all as Kevin didn't show some of the opening moves that black did.

[granade88]

Such a strange yet potentially useful opening!

[Penguinator44]

What happens at 11:39 if instead of moving the black bishop to C5 and attacking the King you moved the bishop to D6 to protect the F4 pawn?

[CommonPCGamer]

@Penguinator44 I'm thinking d4. I mean it adds another attacker on the pawn and gets ready for the e5 push to get the bishop out of there anyway.

[thechesswebsite]

@Penguinator44 I haven't seen this much but I would recommend just playing d4 and solidify the center of the board. The bishop on d6 will really hurt his development of his queen side pieces while white will start to overwhelm the board with his pieces.

[iOwnffs]

I'm going to use this now, and I recommend all of you too as well because nobody knows about it right now.

[mrengler1]

i'm looking at 9:55 where you say white is materially ahead after black's queen falls. white traded all 4 minor pieces to win that queen. after Qxd4+, Qxd4, Bg7, Rf2, Rf8, Rf1, does white still have an attack?

[thechesswebsite]

@mrengler1 yes white still has a great attack.  After Bg7, white can now play 15. Rxf6 Bxf6 16. Rf1. Black is not only going to lose the bishop on f6 but he has none of his pieces that can help in the assault from white. Easy win for white.

[BmaRayCyrus]

@thechesswebsite This amazing game is a stalemate on 10 moves! 1. c4,h5, 2. H4,A5, 3. Qa4,Ra6, 4. Qxa5,Rah6, 5. Qxc7,f6, 6. Qxd7+,Kf7 7. Qxb7,Qd3, 8. Qb8,Qh7, 9. Qxc8,Kg6, 10. Qe6

[rossschcheese]

thanks for the upload, they help a lot.

[oddity21]

I was the 27th view when I started watching...by the time the video was over there were 127 views. Not bad...
