The pawn promoted into a Knight that forked the Queen and King. Next move Black loses the Queen (and the checkmate threat on F2) and if White takes the Knight, Black loses his last rook. Black is completely lost.
For everyone wondering why you should promote to a knight. Two reasons: 1) it's a fork and you will pick up the queen on the next move 2) If your move isn't forcing (like a check) than black has checkmate on f2 on the next move
0:40 no opponent will EVER play queen B6. it's nice for the youtube but any opponent just plays b7 takes c6, then knight takes white bishop - end of trap.
The other reply might have been a bit confusing, so to clarify: after Black plays 1... bxc6, White plays 2. Nxc6. If Black responds with 2... Nxc6, then 3. Bxc6+ is a triple fork of the king, rook, and knight. Instead of 2... Nxc6, the best move is 2... Qb6, which is met with 3. Nd4+. Now this is the end of the trap, which in fact is pretty unfortunate for Black: their position is in absolute shambles, never mind the fact that they're down a pawn. Stockfish gives an evaluation of +4.6 (positive meaning favoring White). Also, I wouldn't say that no opponent will EVER play Qb6. Lichess statistics say that 5% of games did have that move, so evidently, the probability is equal to that of rolling a nat 20.
Why can't king take the pawn b6-b5 what's stopping from shutting down that whole play there's no check stopping it or is there a rule I'm not aware of stopping the king from taking im confused?? I'm absolutely shit at chess so wanted to ask someone that actually knows the game
@Dr.S-ct2bq cool story bro I realised after I posted that I had messed up as I'm new to chess and the king/queen are pretty much reversed to what I had played with in the past I clarified that on my next post... so do the world a favor make yourself useful for once and go play in traffic
The idea of bringing the queen is black has a massive checkmate threat at F2, you make 1 blunder as white pulling off this trap once in that spot, youre done
Which obviously you just play out normal if they do Only smooth brains are so tunnel visioned attempting this that they malfunction if the opponet does something else
1: Just Take the Knight with the D pawn 2: Nc6 b6 d4 and then either Bd7 d7 d7 or opponent plays d8 right away. Both ways you are up a pawn, have a nice position and your opponent lost his right to castle
That's crazy! I saw an Eric Rosen video about the Ponziani yesterday, started playing the opening, and now the one and only GothamChess showcases it himself (again)
And how is it so counterable? Black cant play bd7 because they’ll lose the queen. If c6, pawn takes, pawn takes, then knight takes. Lines up a discovered check which will win you a bunch of material, or prevents black from being able to castle and their king will be very weak. Or if they take back with their knight you fork the king and rook with the bishop. Or after your pawn takes c6, they take with the knight. Still, knight takes, and you still line up the discovered check. If they take back, once again it is a fork. There’s also a bunch of other lines where you take the rook and promote to a queen. (Source: I’ve studied the ponziani for around 5 months). Just open up an analysis board and reach this position. Black is completely lost.
For anyone wondering The reason you make a knight is because you attack the king and queen at the same time so black must move his king and you then capture the queen
@@Loading-lg6hs My best guess is that black is playing Qb6 to try and attack the bishop on b5 thinking that would would be able to take another pawn due to the c8 bishop being able to take back but in this position it is a discovered check so that does not work
I’ve been playing the Vienna gambit ever since I saw your video on it, but I think I might have to switch things up and bust that four digit elo barrier
Which is why it can work against semi decent players They may see the f2 mate chance so therefore put their queen there rather than just move another piece
I tried this 25 times vs computer and it worked 0% of the time. Zero moves happened in that sequence. This works perfectly if you play against yourself and act surprised.
we all know that after getting mated like that, we furiously move on to the next game and moving pieces arounds like a mad man, thus lose 2 games in a row
