interesting video ty. however you dont really explain the point of the gambit or who is better in each variation? it actually seems like the position is equal in most of the variations you went through.

thanks trixapete! i can't really tell concretely which variation is better. but i keep on playing 5. b6 on most of my games, avoiding difficulties on variations arising after taking the pawn on a6.

omg I cant stand if someone just cant speak really in a language even though he learned it. it is not C-FAIVVEEEEEE its c-five. the i is looonger. it is also not attaHHING it is attacking. atackkkkckckckckcking. with CK no HHH. for god's sake I am german and I got bothered listening to this.

Very elementary. Why bother?

whats with the terminator sound fx in the background ?

Interesting one could say, but overally useless, because you do't explain the ideas of the opening and the general strategical plans for each side. Moreover, a lot of variations you show are practically the same, as the moves are the same, but come in different order.

Interesting. I was led into this at a recent tournament via d4 c5 d5 nf6 nf3 d6 c4 b5 cxb5 a6 bxa6 Bxa6 g3 g6 bg2 bg7 00 00 Nc3 Nbd7 Re1 then a strange move qb8 which seemed wrong. It was a tough game especially as I knew very little about it. Eventually my rook returned to f1 to support f4-f5-xg6 to break open his kingside, and my knight found a nice home on c6. I blundered the pawn but later he blundered his knight and I checkmated him with QR+N with the d5 pawn useful in stopping his king
