This was a game in the Smith-Morra Gambit that I played on FICS.

Enjoy!

  • How nice of you to leave a comment.

    I don't play the Smith Morra competitively. This is internet chess, where I toy with openings and learn.

    And Alex Lenderman is 2400 and he plays Smith Morra often.

    oh my bad Anand didn't play the other guy did my mistake but the smith morra gambit still isn't a bad opening at all I think.

  • @JoeyLieber

    Anand himself once played it. In fact his opponent decided not to take and instead went into a completely different line showing that he didn't want to get into the main line in the Smith Morra gambit.

  • could you stop saying ohm

    

  • After Nc3 can't black just give up any ideas of continuing sicilian lines and play e5 after having snagged an extra pawn. That is what I would do if ever confronted by the Smith-Morra

  • Just a heads up, if you don't enjoy the library of Open Sicilian theory, you can try and see if you like the Alipin. Unlike most open Sicilians, this variation only has three or four key lines that are easy to learn.

  • Enjoyed the video! I'm a beginner (know the rules & played a few games) but just getting used to the fact that there are "set plays" with all these names (gambits, sicilians etc) and after watching a few chess video's on here I've been trying different openings (on other beginners) they never seem to accept the gambit & if they decline then I'm just winging it from there... how do I improve my middle game??

  • @JoeyLieber yeah are you a moron? Lenderman plays this opening religiously, and if you didn't know, Lenderman is a GM now....and another note, one of Morphy's favorite openings was the Evans gambit, and Fischer often used the King's gambit...please don't speak if you have no idea what you're talking about

  • Decent video. It would have been better without hearing a lot of "ah", or whatever it is that people say to fill a moment of silence when trying to think of what to say next.

  • @ecspade lol u did the best answer possible! it was like a pure and clean "stfu noob u have no idea wtf ur talin about" but in polite words!
