@@tasty9957 People at like 600 elo 1. wouldn't play the queen's gambit 2. wouldn't make all these natural moves that lead to fxg8=N+ 3. If you're able to memorize even just this simple trap, you'd be beating them anyway
@@ziwuri This is how I've been playing lately. It works really well for shorter games like blitz. Forcing the opponent to find the right moves even if I'm objectively losing.
I an a 74 yr old novice.I learned a little bit about chess as a child like how the pieces moved and what the objective was. played a few games with family but no one knew any strategy so i am sure we would have lost against anyone who would have studied chess. kind of let the game go for a while but ten i got a friend who enjoyed the game. i know he has no rating but he and his family and friends played a lot of chess over the last 50 years so when we lived close we would play some and his experience proved out as he won most of the time. but as we played i got better and got it up to about a fifty fifty game. he says the way i play confused him as i was always agressive and he was on defense most of the time lol. truth is i dont know defense so i have to attack to have a chance. its a lot of fun and next time i see him i am going to try some of these gambits and see if he catches on lol. main thing for me is having FUN
You're playing Eric Rosen, one of your favourite Chess content creators. As you make a move, thinking it's brilliant, you hear some distant words. "Oh this is a pretty funny line."
But after Nc6, White could play axb5 (pressuring the black knight and opening the A file for the white rook). I was thinking Bb7, Qxb7 and Ne7 (developing the knight and at same time protecting the rook with the Queen).
Eric has such a soft voice and a monotone speak you'd think it'd be hella boring to watch, but this is probably one of the most focused I've been watching a video on RU-vid. And it's about chess of all things too
@@theelectricalengineerguy2121 fork you mean? If Nc6 QxNc6+, Bd7 blocks check and reveals discovered defense on the rook via the queen. If Bb7 QxBb7, Nd7 is a similar concept. It's not the best computer move but it's the best move to play against a human opponent imo.
At 18:00 when he made that triangle I paused the video and looked up what a different sided triangle is called because I couldn't remember and thought to myself that I hadn't heard scalene in a long time (and I have a math degree). I unpause the video to him asking what it's called and saying the same thing hehe.
Hi Eric, I am Sepp from the Netherlands, I love watching your videos. (And sometimes on stream haha). Can you tell me how to create like an portfolio where I put in openings so I can practise with them?? On Lichess by the way. Love to hear from you or someone else who can help me..❤️
Queens Gambit is how I like to play white as of late! And I think Queens Gambit Accepted: Central Variation, Alekhine's System -> e4, Ne5, f3 is a trap I'm able to play quite often...
Woah nice Eric perfect timing, just started playing against a new friend who plays the queen's gambit and these are some nice weapons I'll look into more.
One dubious trap in the Bd7 line after axb5 Bxb5, you can play Bxc4!? When the bishop recaptures you have Qa4+ I had an opponent play Nc6 once 😂, what a windmill. Best play it’s “I have the whole center and you have no pieces developed.” Though.
Not sure how I feel now that I discovering Eric's channel and all his traps. Before, my chess was brainy. After Eric's, it's all about traps, how to avoid them and how to apply them. I feel I gained but also lost something in chess.
Classics for sure, every time you talked about one I said 'oh yeah this one'. I'm fond of the 4th one because I learned it from a finegold video a month before getting it in a tournament game :D
There is another fun trap in the Cambridge Springs (500 people fell for it): 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Nbd7 5. Nf3 c6 6. e3 Qa5 (The elephant trap position) 7. Nd2 0-0 (White blocks the a5-e1 diagonal with his King Knight) 8. Bd3?? dxc4! (Double attack on both Bishops d3 and g5) 9. Bxf6 cxd3 (If one Bishop runs, take the other) 10. Qxd3 Nxf6 (Black is up a clean piece.) FEN: r1b2rk1/pp3ppp/2p1pn2/q7/1b1P4/2NQP3/PP1N1PPP/R3K2R w KQ - 0 12
From Tarrasch Defense, the Schara Gambit is quite terrible for white (d4 - d5, c4 - e6, Cc3 - c5, cxd5 - cxd4, Da4+ - b5, Dxb5+ [first blunder] - Fd7, Db7 looking to take "the free rook" [second blunder]). It is very natural moves and easy to fall for it. I walk myself into it, but fortunately my opponent didn't know how to punish it
1.d4 d5 2.c4 Bf5 3.Qb3!? Nc6? (the shocking 3...e5! is correct, leading to wild gambit play; lower-rated players never know or play that move) 4.cxd5! Nxd4?? 5.Qa4+! wins a piece.
Qc8 if queen takes rook then bishop b8. you loose the knight or the bishop and get the queen. If queen does not take develop bishop to b8 to attack the queen. I didn't use the engine or anything just taking a sec from work but I think it works or I am just missing something obvious.
If you ever say "Zwischenzug" again, please DO keep in mind the "Z" is ALWAYS pronounced "TS" in german. Besides, the "SCH" is supposed to be made without your voice, like "SH". Apart from that, I really liked this video :).
