CRUSH French and Sicilian Defense with The Wing Gambit 

Step 1: Play the Wing Gambit Step 2: Your opponent has no idea what they are doing and takes you out of your preparation Step 3: You get confused Step 4: Just wing it

The thing is that my opponents are so bad that they don't play any of the moves that you say they will do.

Levy: mates with knight "We didn't do anything crazy."

my version of this is the WIN gambit- where you gambit the win for nothing.

I was about to google "what to play against the French ?"

This guy is more on my recommended than the random 2007 videos

I guess I'll see this in my sicillian games now.

This gives "winging it" in a chess game a whole different meaning

The Theory vs the Sicillian Defense starts at 5:33

Me : casually trying to play the wing gambit. My opponents: *U L T R A S M O R T*

"Now, I shall give Chess dispair..." - Some angel with one wing.

My god levy, watch your first videos, it is fascinating how much you've evolved into the world of RU-vid, you used to be very formal and cautious about every word (not saying it is a bad thing) but now everyone can see the flavour and passion in which you really are, we can see your love for chess and you have helped so many, including me now 1600+. I just want you to know you have the entire chess community right behind you, supporting you every day. Thanks for the uploads!

Sicilian Defense starts at 5:33

A friend of mine who’s been playing a lot longer called today to teach me about some openings and I thought I didn’t really know anything but I’d retained way more of the Ruy Lopez from your videos than I’d realized. Really appreciate these opening videos!

Levy's quality is always top notch! Deserves more subscribers.

I usually just wing this in my games

Subscribers: This looks like a good move! Levi: If he does this move it's checkmate.

The thumbnail is what my sleep paralysis demon looks like - thanks Levy.

Really appreciate your hard work, Levy. All the subscribers you have ever gotten are well deserved.

Stop giving away all my secrets, you son of a queen!

Love these videos Levy, thank you so much. Can’t wait to add this to my repertoire. Been climbing so much in one year strictly from your content! 600 to past 1300! I’m a late bloomer at 28 years old but after so many wasted years of not knowing how to actually play or study I am obsessed with my new found source of knowledge and I finally feel like I “get” and understand chess. I started out with the London and Scandinavian and slowly added more to my base. Adding the Vienna literally gave me 200 freelo from 1000 and now I didn’t even know I needed this gambit! You the freakin man - much love from a neighboring state.

Another amazing video as always from the prolific Levy Rozman. The ONLY gripe I have with this video is that at 11:40 or so, Levy states that the Black Queen is trapped, and even shows that Qc4 would blunder a Royal Fork. But... Qb2 is a move. And is the ONLY Queen move that keeps the Queen safe, from what I can tell.

11:42, that's why I love lessons from you. You make them so exciting and interesting to watch. Just keep going man!

11:48 what about queen b2 for white? It’s not trapped with that move.

Can you make a remastered Caro-Kann toutorial?

11:08 These microexpressions plus the delivery is the funniest you have been for me. I can;t stop replaying it and laughing 😂😂

For those wondering you're taking the A pawn with the knight instead of the bishop because your bishop in these set ups is melting faces on the right side of the board and allowing most of your attack on the right side.

Excellent explanation. I love your delivery. It’s fun to listen to an analytical topic. Presentation is everything - you prove it over and over again.

- Shows how an ambitious gambit can pay off if one maintains active play and looks for tactical threats. 1. e4 c5 2. b4 { B20 Sicilian Defense: Wing Gambit } cxb4 3. Nf3 d5 4. exd5 Qxd5 5. c4 bxc3 6. Nxc3 Qd8 7. d4 Nc6 8. d5 Nb4 9. Qa4+ Bd7 10. Qxb4 e6 11. Qxb7 exd5 12. Bb5 Rb8 13. Bxd7+ Ke7 14. Nxd5+ Kd6 15. Ba3# { White wins by checkmate. } 1-0

*Levy references the intro while playing before even making the intro* Levy: I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you

I just bought the Gambits bundle! I already have both openings bundles which have helped me to play better chess. I know when I buy your bundles, I am getting real value, and I truly appreciate that! Thank you for your courses!

I love the way you describe the moves so passionately. I've just recently gotten in to chess.

"You use the computer- not DURING the game, BEFORE the game." STARES AT DEWA_KIPAS

For the Nc6 Sicilian there's this line "e4 c5 Nf3 Nc6 b4 Nxb4 c3 (other move leaves black with nice development and white is just a pawn down) Nc6 d4 cxd4 cxd4 e6 Nc3 Bb4 Bd2 Nf6" which gives black a comfortable game with a pawn up

I want this guy to be at 1 million subscribers

Wing opening < winging the opening

FINALLY!!!!! I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THIS ALL THE TIME . THANK YOU SO MUCH :))))

I love trying random openings for the first time then end up looking theory on it afterwards, and then it ends up being a gotham video. I tried it vs a sicilian completely by chance and won with 83% accuracy. Its a fun gambit to have in your repertoire.

I would love to see a video on the Grand Prix Attack. I have learned so much from you and your videos are top notch. Thank you for all of your hard work!!

Was having a bad day until you posted this. Now I got my mind off of things :)) thanks gotham

Love your video's Levy and I have been following for a few months now. Best chest content/videos on RU-vid IMO. I will definitely be buying a course and supporting you.

I've been looking at a few variations of this. Thanks for the depth.

The fact that levy lowkey promotes his own chess courses on gambits AND AT THE SAMETIME tells the viewer "you dont have to, if you dont want to pay for it" is just soooo touching..Makes me feel like he cares alot for his viewers and is not so desperate for money (Another bonus THE CHESS COURSES ARE JUST ONETIME PAYMENTS. NOT SUBSCRIPTIONS! 😳😳😳😳

So far my favorite gothamchess openings video

I was just about to search for this video, and you uploaded it!

demonstrating with plays after the lesson is really helpful!

Hey Levy, great video! I have a question about situation in 9:30. (1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3.b4) what if they take a pawn with a night? The position seems different then. It would be very nice to see an answer. Cheers :^)

I’m most shocked that the 1400 did not en passant instantly once it was available.

This is everything I've been looking for! Thanks Levy!

already know this about to be a banger

11:38 I’m confused on why the queen can’t just go to b2

I'm noob didn't really know what I was doing. Just recently learned about openings. I recognized black doing the same starting piece for french technique. So I used this technique. Gave me really strong center.

I started playing wing gambit on my own not knowing it was a “thing”. After awhile I thought I needed to see if I could find relevant information about this move and I come to find Gotham has a vid on it. Which, is awesome

Dude ur channel is growing so fast and those subs are all earned with amazing videos as always

Love this! As a 1.Nf3 player I shall add it to my transposition repertoire!

Levy has the best thumbnails in the biz. It’s just art at this point.

11:43 “queen is trapped”. Why can’t the queen go to B2 what am I missing???

this gambit might just be what I've been looking for as I hate having a weak pawn on d4 in this opening.

This guy's presenting skills are so sharp

Good on you Levy! I admire your fighting spirit

Hey mr levy! Please do a part 2 of your recommended openings with white or black. Thanks!

Great idea showing off some of the more fringe openings. I'll probably never play this, but I'll know what it's about when it's played against me.

Thans A lot for your teaching!🤗

Fits perfect into my attacking style. Thanks again

Day 22 of translating the title in Italian: "Distruggi i tuoi avversari con il gambetto d'ala".

This is so good to imagine how to play certain games and not just copy it its actually really good thank you ALOT

I WAS LITERALLY RESEARCHING THIS JUST THE OTHER DAY TYSM

Agad: Hello everyone Gotham: Welcome everybody

Keep on Shining GothamChess

"I do read the comments" We really enjoy the content Levy. My fav is your games against subscribers with a theme, like only London or only e5. Keep it up!

Cool thumbnail as always with your opening and gambit vids

this man is changing the whole way i see chess

I'd love to see a video from you on the reti!

Legendary wing, impeccable and unstoppable at the same time.

Thanks A lot for your. teaching!🤗

I swear every god dang opening I learn, levy keeps making videos on them

Really interesting video ! As a French defence player I know how stressful it is to play against this gambit. And it's quite rarely played (I have faced it only 3 times in my life), so black can easily go wrong.

Hello Gotham, today i just finished n online vhess tournament where i plaved 35 out of 780 ppl n got the score of 7.5/10. I lost a game to a cheater(who was ban right after the game) if not i would have gotten an even higher placing in the tournament. The first time i joinrd any chess tournament i scored a pathetic 2.5/10 but now after watchin ur videos for the past 3 months i improved a bunch and i even got a performance rating of 1650. Just wanna say thank you for motivating me and teaching me even though u probably wont read this.

19:58 white plays e7. And THAT IS BEAUTIFUL what happens after that. Now the black queen is blocked and the threaten of mate on g7 appears again, so black must defend and they shouldn't take the pawn either with rook or with queen because of the k:g6 with a fork on two rooks or a rook and a queen. Their most likely and most reasonable move is r:h7, protecting the pawn on g7 and preventing the mate. However in this case white can either play q:g7 or b:g4. First let's see the beauty of B:g4 After this moove the black can capture on e7 or on c3 with the Dark Knight that hangs out on the edge of the board and makes no sense on a4. If the black goes k:c3, they get mated with b:e6 check, black's king can only move to h8 and k:g6 hits the last nail in the black box. MATE! Nice and smooth. However, if the black are not that dumb to take on c3 and capture on e7... With that queen or the rook? Let's first see what happens after q:e7. The white replies b:e6 check. Of the king falls back to h8, k:g6 comes again, but if he moves to f8, there's a fork on... No, no use of fork anymore, cuz that's a mate. With a knight and a bishop. And when the black moves r:e7 instead of q:e7, follows same check with bishop on e6. The black king can only move to f8, because on h8 there's gonna be the mate we've already seen twice. The white plays k:g6 fork on king and rook, king's only escape is e8, then white takes on e7 with a knight, and now black must choose between worse and the worst again. If they take the knight with the queen white plays q:g6 with a fork on king and the rook on h7, and then king flees, white takes the rook however leaving the bishop on d6 unguarded and black takes it with q:e6 and white plays r:g7. The position is trash for the black, I don't even need to explain how bad. Although if the black capture the white knight with a king and not with king, white simply plays q:g6(lol even my T9 already tips me that move:)), putting a threat on the black room on h:7, the rook can only step back on h8 but thee white goes q:g7 with a fork on a king a the rook and the black can not take the white bishop on e6 cuz that will leave their queen unguarded and exposed the white queen so that the black can only move the king to e8 and then white takes the rook on g7 threatening the black queen, and if she flees, white plays rook d7 check and if now it depends on where the black moved their queen to, because in two case she won't be able to trade that rook or in another one she will be but the rook is covered by a bishop so that it's either queens lost or mate cuz after r:d7 check the black king will havta run and the only square for him is c8 but after that the white plays q:e8 mate. Now let's regard the move q:g7(remember the beginning?:)) The black must take the Queen with their rook, then we strike it with r:g7. If black takes it with king(they may take it or may not. If not they just get a rook for a queenand I don't wanna think how white plays there, but that's gonna be a very hard position for them to play. Especially with that white pawn on e7), k:e6 with a fork on the king and queen, the black king steps off no matter which direction, white takes the queen on c7 with their knight, threatening the rook on e8. Best move for black is to take the pawn on e7 with a threaten of a white knight. And here white already get a nice endgame with one more piece and are going to fight back their pawn with k:b5, moving the knight out of sight of the rook that stands on a1 and putting a threat on the black knight on a4. Black can either play b:b5 capturing a white knight, then white take the bishop and the a4 black knight is still under a threat. Or if black's knight falls back white can now capture a pawn by r:a5 and then potentially trigger a pawn on d5 with that knight from c6 and a bishop that will havta move to f3. P.S. damn that took more more than an hour😂

bro i love u, i have been waiting this video for months

the queen can escape on b2

Love the content Sir, keep up the good work.

I struggled against this for a while. I just started playing b6 in response and have had great results.

Can you make a video about middle game strategy? I would really like that.

I didn't know I needed this

Gonna have to watch this a few times

Loving your videos man, keep it up! 💪

I realize that I struggle against the French. This gambit is really an interesting idea. I will definitely try it out. Thanks once more Levy!!!

Brilliant loved that video...I'm devouring your content every day!

Can’t wait to see this being the only opening played in chess for the next day lmao

Would be nice to see Levitsky System in one of the later vids (maybe with Trompowsky Attack in the same video)

Click on the notification so fast thinking it was another recap...man I need to sleep.

This was amazing video thank you for this🤩🤩

Amazing job you did!

Thought that was Sephiroth in the thumbnail and I got super excited. Also, idk if you did a course on this or not, but maybe an Elephant Gambit video at some point? You did a video on my main, the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. It'd be pretty sweet if you did an Elephant cuz I don't wanna feel like the only one stealing people's elo with this dubious opening

Me when I saw the thumbnail: Is it ryuk's gambit?

Great video as always

1:13 "This is just really bad for black" Literally just describes a normal position in the Advance French. 🤣
