In the Falkbeer Countergambit, black immediately challenges the center against the king's gambit from white. The aggression is taken away from white and given to black. White must be very careful not to play anything incorrectly or black can take over the game very quickly. This is a great defense for anyone that sees the kings gambit often and wants to throw their opponent a loop.

i love playing the kings gambit but at the same time i dont know what to do against it as black, this is amazing! thank you!

@e-caps2158 3 года назад

Same

@nicovanderwilt7502 2 года назад

That is pretty important to know you're own opening from two perspectives.

@chesswebsite 15 лет назад

like most gambits in general the downside is that you are giving up material early on (if they play correctly). You are obviously going to try and find compensation for the material disadvantage but being down in material from the beginning is definitely not an advantage.

Did anyone else think at first he said "fucker counter gambit"? lul

An aggressive opening for black. ^^

I’d thought I was going to steamroll everyone with the kings gambit until I encountered this sequence one day and was quickly dismantled

Really like your gambit videos. Extremely helpful.

I use this gambit everytime I see the King's gambit, I haven't lost as black to a King's Gambit since then, Thanks Kevin :)

Very useful introduction to the Falkbeer Countergambit. Thanks!

@eyass777 6 лет назад

Great, precise and to the point Very powerful defend Can’t thank you enough

@SuperAussi3 12 лет назад

bro...your videos and your site is very useful. I love it.

@adiladil78 15 лет назад

Hey dude, I love your vids. I believe this IS the first vid on the FCG on youtube. I know how how it feels when someone plays the FCG against you. I bang my fist on the desk when someone plays it against me because I have been butchered real bad with the FCG playing as white.

@intellectelite 7 лет назад

thanks man. my buddy got me in to chess three years ago and he literally always beats me. his signature opening is the KG. the falkbeer is necessary for me.

@cubnoble 13 лет назад

There is someone in our tournament area that plays this opening. The first time we played each other he did the King's Gambit (I had never seen it before) so I just threw out my d pawn. We have played 4 times since then (I have won every time with the Falkbeer) every game has been exciting and dangerous!!! Thanks for the awesome video!

@hackman1911 14 лет назад

i too love the kings gambit and i've seen this a couple times and i was never quite sure what to play. thanks for the great video.

@Gumballcom 2 года назад

amazing video. have an over-the-board game tomorrow and this will be an excellent way to get an interesting position.

@tornadoakias 12 лет назад

@Moggietje there are 2 main variations here..in the first black can play qg4 and when white plays pxg3 then black can play qxg3 checking the king..yes white may be up in material but if black activates his lightsquare bishop then white will be in trouble..2nd variation is qh3 and if white does pxg3 then black can play qxh8.

@CloudyMcCloud00 3 года назад

One variation not covered here, after 1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5 3.exd5 is 3...exf4 (best move, apparently), after which (e.g.): 4.Nf3 Nf6 5.c4 c6 6.d4 cxd5 7.Bxf4.

@chesswebsite 15 лет назад

I have messaged him but have not heard back from him. You should send him a note yourself requesting the matchup. I think it could be a really good idea getting insight from both of us as we play.

@Soper79 13 лет назад

Question: 4:55 mark. Instead of trying to save white’s pawn on d5, what if white continued to develop with d2-d4? Establishing center control again while opening the lane for the bishop to attack the f4 pawn. If black takes the white pawn on d5 either with the queen or more likely the knight, white moves c2-c4 establishing center control again queen side, chasing off black’s queen or again more likely knight. Black looses tempo and white is a move away from taking the pawn back with c1-c4.

@Matthew28colon19 11 лет назад

As a player of the Icelandic Gambit, I really would enjoy some of these lines!

@smacky54 12 лет назад

@2067deepack, nf3 is not necessarily devestating, played correctly it is a simple trade for black.

@doiknowmyenemy Год назад

As a KG player this defense has been a very tough one for me. Great vid!

@arkoraa 15 лет назад

Hey, thechesswebsite, great video! This is definitely one of my favourite openings. You seem to be a really strong player, so when you have time, can you make some videos analyzing the games that you have played? I think it will benefit a lot of people.

@talstory 12 лет назад

I thought this too but looks like black can retreat the queen to h5. white still can't capture the knight, eventually black just moves it away

@ChessskillBlogspot 9 лет назад

Great video for those who play against beginners, but not much substance for those Class C and above.

@chesswebsite 14 лет назад

@AngelzOFGuitar I have tried to ask him about this. Everyone should write him and write on his wall requesting we play. This would be the greatest thing the youtube chess community has seen in awhile I think.

@Ojalalluevapronto 12 лет назад

u should do the little deviations faster, and go in main lines explaining the strategy options for both sides in the middle game, also recommending some games in the description, we can find in internet. I think you can do that in 15 min instead telling us the obvious tactics things

@durgadeepak1992 12 лет назад

at 10:20 after nxg3 white dont need to take with h pawn he can move nf3 which is crushing for black :)

@bballcenter7 12 лет назад

I just used this countergambit in a game on chess.com and won! Thanks for the tip kevin :)

@Soper79 13 лет назад

I would consider myself a fairly strong King's Gambit player. Falkbeer definitely gives me the most trouble. 2:37 mark in the video. I pretty much have a rule when e5 takes f4, as a king's gambit player you have to bring Kn F3. Of course black could then take e4 pawn only to recapture with Kn to e4 and I play from there. It's not the game I intended but I'll take my changes from there with both Knights in play. 7:11 min mark. Taking the pawn on D5 never ends well for me so I would avoid that.

@knuthansen8524 3 года назад

At 03:25 it is mate in 4, if u dont take the rook. Checked it on the analyse board on lichess. :)

@ooaaveehoo 15 лет назад

Nice! King's Gambit is one of the most common openings in my school chessclub blitzes, and I too use it, and find Falbeer very annoying. Thanks!

@LamePants 11 лет назад

10:14 if Nf3, Qe7+, preparing for Nxh1 next move. Looks like white has the initiative after that though.

@seandelacruz3792 5 лет назад

I am just watching this to find counter play against falkebeer counter gambit

@chesswebsite 15 лет назад

if white captures the black bishop, black can just take the white queen with his queen, checking the king and up a lot of material. This will be a super easy win for black.

@martinassinkunas146 3 года назад

but I want to know a counter to Falkbeer so it would be a countercountergambit

@chesswebsite 3 года назад

you just blew my mind.

@FaceManBDSC 13 лет назад

Hi. At 8:02 or so, i played with the white pieces a3 first and it worked out pretty well. Or was my opponent just not seeing his chance? (1....Bc5 2. d3 Bxg1 3. Rxg1 Kxd5 4. dxe4 Kxc3 4. Qxd8 Kingxd8 5. bxC3.....) I think he didn´t played well with his bishop... What other options did black had? Like your videos a lot bytheway, learned very much. With the help of your kingsgambit-tutorial i managed winning against one of the local heros at the openair chess in the park - twice! So thanks. ;)

@notcomp1ex0 4 года назад

If they recapture with the pawn it’s mate in 4

@SilverServerIT 12 лет назад

The king's gambit, you mean? Or maybe the countergambit?

@Goetz-von-Luthringshauser 2 года назад

Very great!

@cedricburgun9061 9 лет назад

Thanks for this video! Still, I'm a bit frustrated here... I'm a king's gambit player with white (never with black for I never go for 1. ... e5 after 1. e4.). Many players do use the Falkbeer countergambit, and it quickly brings in sharp position. Your video is instructive considering the mistakes that shouldn't be done, but I've avoided them for a while now. I would be greatly interested to have more insights on the various lines AFTER Ne4. Do you have any material to suggest (expect for chessbase ;) ) ? Cheers!

@chesswebsite 15 лет назад

it's number 2 on the list. it's coming :)

@shadowdancerRFW 14 лет назад

@Aleneden LOL white moves from up to down, so the pawn on e5 does not protect the white queen if it takes on d4

@StackynUpRice 15 лет назад

absolutely geniussss. So how about that game with Jrobi? lol

@shadowdancerRFW 14 лет назад

great, now i have a defense vs king's gambit, thx ;)

@prakashghimire7158 3 года назад

@kswarnalatha7505 6 лет назад

I am a kings gambit player and i will probably play nf3 and after ge takes on f4 and i take on d5 after nf6 i will play bc4 after takes and takes i will play nc3 and i guess whites in a good position with no big weakness

I am a fan of of the Falkbeer Gambit. I can't tell you how many players open up against me with King's Gambit.

@filipjelic8980 11 лет назад

Just saying that if 2 chess youtubers play online, both of them will get big prize for the win (reputation), so they wont risk losing.

On dat last variation if he takes the knight you win the game with queen takes pawn

@WhereJohnFrum 11 лет назад

@snakevera 12 лет назад

chess is infinitely amazingly awesomeness-nessestist

@Scredit 13 лет назад

9:35 i got to this position (well similar, not exact) in a diffrent game. and i thought out this, (and i used it because it was early and my opponent wasnt thinking at all and was greedy for material) Bf8->b-4, and if he wouldnt move his pawn up to attack it, then i capture with knight, he really could only take it with his pawn or he loses a queen, and i capture back with the bishop, and i forked the rook and the king. just had an experience i wanted to share :p

@chesswebsite 15 лет назад

to make sure I follow, what move are you suggesting white make?

@DragonSlayer-kn2xe 4 года назад

i always hear "the fucker countergambit"

@akuo47 5 лет назад

:/ I highly don’t suggest the version of the gambit suggested in the video. It’s better to derive it from Vienna, not Kings gambit. And in some variations it converts to King’s gambit. E4, e5, Nc3, Nf6, f4, exf4, e6

@beausabreur1759 11 лет назад

At 10:13, white can counter with g1-f3, rescuing the rook.

@MrVlad8920 13 лет назад

@Aleneden what pawn if u are thinking e5 pawn he is going in different direction, he cant defend the white queen!!!

@cedriccappelle 7 лет назад

2:15 white is forced to sacrifice the queen otherwise its a forced mate in 3 or so

@skarpo6763 6 лет назад

Lol I played against a 2080 FIDE and I'm 1181 FIDE and its the first round of the tournament and I play the KG for the first time,and he plays the faulkbeer and I don't know the clear refutation..I do know that its similar to d6 so I play my game normally and the game goes on for like 30-35 moves until I make some positional errors...

hi at 10.09 i think the proposed variation fails to white's reply nf3, attacking the queen, probably winning black's knight in the end...any comments?

@brightnight8831 6 лет назад

3:33 how does this change the threat of blacks queen just described? I don't see how this helps that situation

@iand8255 4 года назад

Does White play Ke2, followed by Nf3, at the same time threatening Nxc7+?

@maingimoveyourteleporter 11 лет назад

3:24 White to play: Qd2+ Be6 dxe6 fxe6 Qxe6+? I'm a very novice Chess player, but still.

@Dboy9486 8 лет назад

What if the mainline goes the right way with taking D5 black pushing his pawn up white brings his knight to c3 black Knight to f6. Then white responds with his white bishop to b5 and puts you in check?

@scylax7669 8 лет назад

Play C6 and develop from there

@ExhaustedPenguin 7 лет назад

Simply..

@Moggietje 12 лет назад

At 10:12, If black does Ng3, why can't white just play Nf3 and black loses his Night on g3!

@Menegoth 12 лет назад

simply simply simply basically simply simply basically great vid though. very useful ;)

@scamwitness6594 8 лет назад

At 3:26secs why can't white just defend Knight to f3 pushing the queen away? I GOT THIS position before and was chased away by the knight.

@Dboy9486 8 лет назад

That's not possible to get chased bc if your pawn and queen are in that position at 3:26 if he puts his knight there you just move your pawn up and he'll be in check. When he eats your queen you eat his rook and turn it into a queen. Hope that helps

@scamwitness6594 8 лет назад

+Dario Duvnjak aw thanks dario. appreciate the comment. will remember that, thanks.

@Dboy9486 8 лет назад

@brightnight8831 6 лет назад

cannot defend with knight, the queen is putting king in check and the Nf3 does not block this
