This video looks at a possible trapping line played by black in the King's Gambit Declined. The trap offers up a free pawn to the white player that has devastating consequences if taken. The video also covers white's best option to avoid the trapping lines and create a comfortable position from which to work from.

  • @jrobichess at 4:45, after the white queen moves to G2, why not play the black rook to e8 forcing check. Then after white king moves to D1, the black bishop can move to F3, forcing check again (and the white queen being trapped, saving the black queen?

  • @TheUglyDuckling123 king would move to D2 or f2

  • I played this line as White twice and won both. The games were identical, but diverged from this analysis at 7. 6. Nf3 Nc6 7. b3 Nge7 8. Nc3 0-0 9. Bb2 Nf5 10.Ne4 Bb6 11.0-0-0 Nfd4 12.Bxd4 Nxd4 13.Nxd4 Qg1 14.Bh3 Qxd1+ 15.Kxd1 I talked to the opponents after & both said the same thing... they panicked & thought they could get out at g1, and moves 7,8 seemed innocuous so they didn't see the 0-0-0. Neither did I the first time until last minute. The 2nd guy was almost 1900. I'm 1600.

    It's called "en passant".

    Just google it or search on wikipedia.

  • wait , in 4:06 I thought that the pawn can only capture diagonally ? I don't understand how did he capture him ! Help

  • Fucking hell it took 1:34 minutes long for this video to actually start.

  • @TheUglyDuckling123 genious :D

  • the video keeps stopping at 4:21

  • what is the name of this software and how can i get it?

  • at 4:45 after Qg2 u can play bxf3 and win more material

  • @TheUglyDuckling123 because white will play kingF2, and then black wont be able to do anything to make white's life worse. it will all come as video says.

  • @theichorvile no nvm cuz then the king would be in chech(what do you a whole rook down: its CONFUSING??)
