At 13:03 bishop e2 forces mate on f1 coz if whites bishop captures ( only defence) then the night on d4 recaptures for checkmate. Castling is useless :P
After 1. Bxf2 Kxf2 2. Nxe4, if Kf1, I like O-O better since it keeps the knight from capturing and keeps your king safe. However, there's always a chance of a knight move+discovered attack tactic to watch out for.
very nice video! i play a lot italian games, but never saw this reply from black.. now i`ve seen this video, i hope someone try this attack on me haha. i now know this counterattack
White has two ways to fight for a win in this game. The first is 5.Kxf2 Nxe4+ 6.Ke3!
If instead 6.Kg1, black can force a draw, but with 6.Ke3 white can play for a win.
Another unclear line occurs after 5.Kf1 Qe7 6.Nxh8 d5 7.exd5 Nd4 8.h3! These lines take a lot of effort and precision from both players, and with best play white only keeps a slight edge after defending the entire game.
@MrMuggyMuggy If white plays Bxf7+, black is prepared to play Ke7, and use the f-file for a king attack. This is one of white's best options. Played correctly, white can keep a small advantage
@ToxX4N That would be related to a variation of the Italian Game, if you want to study this variation. However, 5.Bf7 will win a pawn and disable Black's castling rights, but your opponent is waaaaaay more likely to play 5.Nf7 which would win a rook as well as a pawn. At medium level play or at advanced play however it is more likely that, if Black doesn't reply with 4...Bc5 setting up the Traxler, the game will go through the Fried Liver attack (4...d5 5.exd5 Nxd5 6.Nxf7 Kxf7 7.Qf3).
At the variation around 11:20, after white captures by e4xd5, why can't black immediately play Bg4 instead of Nd4? That way, won't white lose the queen for sure?
When you said the King's best move was G1, what about E3? I realize this isolates the king, but there isn't much black can do immediately, giving you the opportunity to snag the Rook and prevent king-side castling, or to focus completely on defense and get your bishop and Queen out to the weakened king-side.
I have a problem because almost everyone pulls the king out and you have to take out the queen or else it dies and then white develops and you're in a terrible position and with material disadvantage.
@guxtAv123 I found out the the best move after Ke3 is Qh4. g3, Nxg3, hxg3, Qd4+, and after that you'll move the pawn to d5. White is going to have to play carefully, but it's still going to be tough for you.
@bossiotr Yeah it was :-) and the funny thing was, this guy was talking smack before the game, and trying to put me off before the game even started. Also during the first few moves, he kept talking and being an asshole. Hell, he even laughed when he took my Bishop on f2. The guy had no idea.
@Timeticker same here, except that guy was like hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you cheated!!!!!!!!!!!!! there's no way you could've won and I had to buy him a Ice cream. (It was at a chess tournament)
this video is really helpful. i was able to beat someone in blitz (5 min) who has a ranking of 2000 maybe more while i just have a ranking of 1400-1600. However after we played this and he struggled 1-2 times he got another move not mentioned in this video. the move is 7.Ke3 which attacks my night on e4. i tried 2 variations: qe7 and qh4 and both are not satisfying in the case of black. i will lose my rook and after struggling the king will be safe. what am i supposed to do? can you help? thanks
what about on 13:03 black bishop to e2 planing check mate in one move white only option is to take with his white square bishop and black can mate with knight
@yinchen100 sorry, good point, the move sequence works! However, a better move at 10:45 instead of c3 is Kxf2, can you help me come up with a counter to that?
@imanidot if king take black bishop on f2 then Black white square bishop attacks white queen with g4, White queen is forced to move away, then Kxc2 if white queen moves to e1 forking the queen and rook. then queen is force to move to f1 and then mate in four moves. with the combination of black knight to e4 check forcing white king to move to g1 and black moves queen to c5 check white can only block with queen to f2 and black finishes by taking the white queen with his black queen checkmate.
Oh my God, thanks. I used this opening to defeat the level 2000+ computer on chess.com in 8 moves. e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bc4 Nf6 Ng5 Bc5 Nxf7 Bxf2+ Kxf2 Nxe4+ Kg1 Qh4 b4 Qf2 checkmate
I played my first tournament this weekend, and was able to use this not only once, but twice. Both times, it resulted in a clear victory for me. Thank you very much for making this video, Kevin.
at 10:30 , you mention you want to take back on d5 with the pawn for strategic reasons. The ost obvious reason is the queen trap though, with Bg4 (exd5 allows Be2 if necessary), as shows G Jamrich vs J Dudas, 1996
(C57) Two Knights, 21 moves, 0-1 .
(even though Dudas missed a mate in 3 at one point ^^).
at 01:34 he says he will exclusively cover Nxf7, but maybe he should have mentionned the other possibilities ! so here it is : yes Bxf7 is a very good move (the other possibilities, b4 and d4, are theoretically inferior but playable; castling is bad because black will castle too and then chase the g5 knight with h7h6)
Bxf7+ is much safer, and should definitely be played if you don't know the theory, but beware, black can get some attack too! (Ke7 Bb3 Rf8 d3 d6 Be3 is ok for white)

@shinyninetales999 i think you are so right. i just played a game where my opponent played Ke3. i went down on material and lost. i do not think kevin examined this option. maybe he should.
@black7kilt try looing at that video of a swedish program called the opening school, (search traxler gambit on youtube) they talk a lot about Ke3, I don't know what part they talk about it, so try looking for the explanation in more than 1 parts
Soo, what up if white takes with the bishop to check black's king at the start? Black has to move Kf8 if he still wants to be able to attack, but loses the potential f-line for the rook. Isn't this a killer if white does take the bishop 'gambit' on f2?
what if the white bishop takes the pawn at f7 (instead of Knight). The white king has to move and it will not be able to castle later in the game. But we can hope that white is greedy and wants to take queen or rook.
@chanabnagar It's a valid line, and probably the safest for White for avoiding crazy complications. 5. Bxf7 Ke7 6. Bd5 Rf8 and so on. Black is down a pawn and can't castle, but Black has a pawn structure in the centre that is solid for a while, and the potential to overwhelm White's kingside with so many pieces aimed that way.
It's great ideass and must of it is new , cuse I've seen this before King to g1 its game over for white that what happened to me while ago , is there any way to avoide that ? after king capture on f2 ?
The fried liver attack? Nice. Bxf2... wow! And b5 took my by surprise, very creative. Bd3 took some nerve; even if I saw the mating combo, I'm taking the queen just in case I overlooked something. excellent video! As a matter of fact, I'm going to showcase this in my list of favorites.
Well obviously the white got raped by black. Anyone who play with white watch out from traxler counter attack and you gonna need to hide your pawns, hide your kings, and hide your queen, cause they raping everybody out here.
At 13:01, can't black play Be2? It threatens checkmate by Qf1, and Bxe2, Nxe2 is checkmate. As far as I see, h2 is white's only possible move to avoid checkmate (other than sacrificing the queen by Qd1), and it also seems to leave black with quite some attacking opportunities...
wow i wish i knew this back a few years ago in high school cuz my math teacher used to play this EVERY game, it was a weird opening for me and after a year of him playing the same thing i came up with my own method of beating him but damn, this woulda made things much funner and interesting, too bad i cant go back in time and challenge him again lol
so you wanna be black? or white? i'm kinda new at this

@ 13:48, isn't Rf3 a better move for black, instead of sacrificing the bishop?

The fried liver attack? Nice. Bxf2... wow! And b5 took my by surprise, very creative. Bd3 took some nerve; even if I saw the mating combo, I'm taking the queen just in case I overlooked something. excellent video! As a matter of fact, I'm going to showcase this in my list of favorites.

Well obviously the white got raped by black. Anyone who play with white watch out from traxler counter attack and you gonna need to hide your pawns, hide your kings, and hide your queen, cause they raping everybody out here.
Thanks for video again Kevin like always.

At 13:01, can't black play Be2? It threatens checkmate by Qf1, and Bxe2, Nxe2 is checkmate. As far as I see, h2 is white's only possible move to avoid checkmate (other than sacrificing the queen by Qd1), and it also seems to leave black with quite some attacking opportunities...

What a powerful counter attack. Thanks, Kevin

So what's the best continuation after 5. Bxe7+? 5. ... Ff8, 6. Bc4 Qe7? Doesn't seem very aggressive yet.

wow i wish i knew this back a few years ago in high school cuz my math teacher used to play this EVERY game, it was a weird opening for me and after a year of him playing the same thing i came up with my own method of beating him but damn, this woulda made things much funner and interesting, too bad i cant go back in time and challenge him again lol
