The thing about the Scotch Gambit in 1000-ish rated games is that black has to play very precisely to avoid some awful positions. It’s a lot of fun from the white side.
Thanks for your kind words! Since our content is mostly dedicated to beginner-intermediate players, I try my best to explain everything that comes to mind, even if it's a simple concept or move, in hopes that everyone can have a fun and easy time learning and improving their chess skills. Enjoy! 🌟
That early knight moves as you say works up to 1100 but safely works under 950elo. Anyone who doesn't respond automatically and sees what is happening will refute it

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Your suggestion is a great idea. As our channel and community grows, we're planning subscriber events where you can send us your games from specific openings for analysis. Additionally, we're also considering featuring subscriber games where I'd play against you all in specific openings, and then select a couple of relevant games to showcase in future videos.
@9:55 I have a very similar problem with the queen and 2 bishop battery right now playing as black. The issue is that I can see it. But I don't think my opponent can. I've checked several of his games playing others and I'm sure my op has no idea. But I can't sleep on this so Im taking measures to oppose it. Its a bonus when your great videos and explanations closely match games I'm currently playing. BTW I'd still love to see you play chess against someone and possibly hear your commentary about your moves and the ideas behind them. Thanks again.
the knight sacrifice traps is my creation, i played it at chess,lichess,and fly or die since 2016, many oponent fall for the traps, some are elo 2000up
Thanks for the suggestion! We're still a relatively new channel, but we'll definitely make playlists in the future when we have more videos to categorize. 😊
That's another thi g if anybody makes two moves early on in the opening or gambits a pawn you know there might be some traps or other tricky play ahead so think carefully when this happens. Just do some calculation to see where it potentially leads
You missed most important something in the main posiotion what if black plays knight to H6 white bishop can not take because white knight block it diagonal
As a chess player in my 60th year of playing chess, rated 2000+ on Lichess, this is another suckers gambit. The sucker being the one who plays this! The move Ng5 violates the good general chess principle of not moving a piece twice in the opening before developing your other pieces. Move that Ng5 and no, I dont push the pawn h6. Rather I develop with Nf6. Toss that Bc4 and I respond with d5. I just love it when 1600 and below players think they are sharp and try to place forcing lines. Forcing lines that once exposed as simple one move attacks with just 2 pieces that is easily refuted. Its much better to develop your pieces effectively with rock solid main line openings like the Ruy, Sicilian, French, KID, KIA, QGD, QGA, etc. Guess what? I exclusively play KID, KIA, Gruenfeld, etc. systems and you will NEVER pull this on me. You will play my openings, I will not play yours.
Yeah , going the king to g6 and then to h7 is so unnatural. Why anyone would prefer to get his king to the edge of the board where he can easily be defended and not leave him in the centre of the board attacked by all the white pieces? I am talking for the line 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 4.d4 exd4 5.Ng5 h6 6.Nxf7 Kxf7 7.Bc4+ .Only a cheater or someone who has analysed this can find 7...Kg6. Because it is so terribly difficult to see that the king will be safe on h7 that you have to be a grandmaster or a cheater to see it. The bad thing is not that you have no idea what you are talking about , the bad thing is that you assume everyone else is as ignorant as you are. A 2 move calculation is so difficult that only a cheater or a grandmaster can do it. I do envy guys like you that make people laugh without even trying.
Total BS, you conveniently forget to talk about black Queen moves to F6. OR black pawn to D5 to block white bishop. Very unlikely black will move king backwards, plan won't work, wasted Knight, and now in terrible position
I think you missed a situation when Black doesn't capture our D4 with his pawn and instead moves his pawn from D7 to D5. We can play Bishop to C4 after Knight is put down by Black king
Hey sensei, is there a reason at 17:25 you didn't bishop check followed by a knight check and a possible mate in 2/3 if the king goes back to g8? Thank you if you take the time to answer this
I have played scotch gambit line and faced few variations before, you are very good at explaining this sharp gambit opening and a hidden gem of opening for me, I realised that you missed Bb6 by black line at 9:00 , this move invite a potential of Na5, if theres any queen &bishop battery on b3 & c4 and leave white with double edge position with high in development, but isolated pawn on c file and down a pawn, maybe you can recommend/suggest an idea on this variation
Thank you for your kind words and support! 😊 Yes, the engine agrees that 7... Bb6 is the best move for Black. The ideas for White to continue would be roughly the same, for example: (top engine moves) 8. Ba3 Nge7 9. e5 (to prevent Black from playing d6) 0-0 10. Re1. Even though the computer evaluates the position to be close to 0.00, in my opinion as a human, it's definitely way easier for White to progress the game. Black is up a pawn but his pieces are kinda tied down and it's not easy for him to develop his pieces to optimal squares. Interestingly, the engine doesn't think that Na5 is a threat to White because the Bishop can always relocate from c4 to d3 to occupy the b1-h7 diagonal for future attacking threats on the kingside.
