@ConsciousExpression 5 месяцев назад

No I don't think so. Qd5 is the move. It threatens immediate checkmate, moves the Q out of the pin, and also threatens the pawn at b7. Black cannot defend both the checkmate and the b7 pawn, and the outcome after that is pretty decisive. You win a knight and black is in a lot of trouble, and you have tempo.

You make great videos, thank you. Will you consider making one on using Lichess to study? I try to use your video teachings with Chess Lv. 100 to practice. The game doesn't always follow your options, especially at the >1400 rating, so it is tough to practice what you cover. I am interested in taking an opening and really studying all the opponent moves to avoid blunders. Is there a way to use this database to make opponent moves and see what the best moves/lines are? When the game deviates from your video lines it beats me pretty easily due to my limited knowledge of the other lines. I am interested in seeing what higher skilled players do as well as what the recommended move is and why. If Lichess doesn't have those features is there something that does you recommend?

@justanotheryoutubechannel3102 8 месяцев назад

sounds like me and the MOSTLY easy englund hartlaub/charlick! I was playing a game yesterday and blundered a mate in one being too anxious to end it and dismissing the rook lift that grabbed my queen instead of advancing it for a corner mate supported by a rook. I love king's gambit DESPITE a 5% or so losing record, but really want to give the danish a try. I refused to even look at it years ago and absolutely didn't click with the scotch, but now that my fundamentals are 300+ points better and I've spent a lot of time tactics training, I'm thinking I want to try it out and see if I can get a winning record with it, if not the same 2:1 win stats I have in the charlick and mieses carokann. that my results are sooo spectacular following Igor's charlick plans, I'm very optimistic that this might click with me too. a big problem with my king's gambit games is I don't like some of the strongest lines like quade gambit or pushing h4 against g5, but I still clobber higher rated opponents in under 20 moves almost daily. perhaps the danish is even better! Lev at gotham chess and Nakumura rate the Danish as "unbeatable" and king's gambit as garbage, so that's 2 more gambiteer votes.

@Amanamanda. 10 месяцев назад

9:36 I think the right move is Qd5, as it threatens checkmate on f7, they can try to defend either with 1) the queen or 2)the light square bishop,in both cases you can go Qb2 threatening the rook, and in case 1 you take it, or the second case you can grab their defending bishop or continue in some other way, but damage to their structure has been done

@iankemp1131 10 месяцев назад

Might be possible to get M2, M5, or M6 once you make the Bishop Battery. M2: If the horse doesn't move, then: Qf3, Qf7#. M5 or M7: If the opponent does move the knight, then e5, exf6, exg7, or opponent's knight moves out, then Qf3, Qf7#. Opponent could move the knight out after Qf3, meaning exf6, exg7, Qf7#. Danish is pretty noice.

@ohyeahohyeah1071 10 месяцев назад

This is VERY close to the opening that I usually play myself (except that after e4 e5, I play Nf3, to which the opponent mostly responds with Nc6 or d6, and follow that with d4 and the rest; so technically, it is the Scotch game). As for the puzzle (this is one that I often face), I play Qb3, forking their b and f pawns, and it also gives me the option to defend my knight without ruining my pawn structure. Here, taking their b pawn is usually the most fun, because I sometimes end up getting the knight and the rook for free.

@iankemp1131 10 месяцев назад

The alternative is Bxf7+ followed by Ne5+ which also wins a pawn. With Qb3, what happens if Black plays Be6? Bxe6 and Qxb7 both seem to win back a pawn but that's all, and Black isn't prevented from castling. After Qxb7, Nd7 defends the Rook.

Thank you for the great video. I've seen a lot of tutorials about the Danish Gambit, except this one explained it the best and offered amazing lines! After this I feel so confident, that I could take on a GM with this opening. Except I have one doubt, because when I checked the opening with the computer, it offered a brilliant line, and I was confused about what to do if someone plays it against me(The people who only look at opening and literally know every line). So I wondering if there were any challenging lines against this computer made line. So what do I play after 1. e4 e5 2. c3 exc3 3. Bc4 cxb2 4. Bxb2 Nf6 5. e5 d5? Because after d5 the bishop on c5 is being attacked and if we take the knight the computer suggests 6. exf6 Bb4+! 7. Bc3 Bxc3 and black is doing well, and if 7. Nc3 then Qxf6!!.

@iankemp1131 10 месяцев назад

A lot of the suggested moves by Black come from being too greedy and trying to find ways to hang on to both extra pawns, which gets him into trouble. There are lots of ways where he can give back a pawn at some stage and get a reasonable position. The Danish Gambit was very popular 150 years ago and was put out of business by masters finding ways to return one or both pawns with an early d5 when Black gets an equal or superior position. Of course you need to know those lines ... The other point is that many of these traps work in games played at blitz speed, but generally fail against opponents who think for a minute or two in classical chess - which were the vast majority of games until a few years ago.

@tobias4411 9 месяцев назад

Exactly! After 7.e5 black doesn't have to move away the knight, just counterattack with d5 and black is already better. Even if 7...Ne4 and 8.Bxf7 black skuld not take the bishop with King (mistake), just move to Kf8 and black is just fine.

@drjacovanniekerk 9 месяцев назад

Very true... but key word in your argument: "masters" 🙂

@iankemp1131 9 месяцев назад

@@drjacovanniekerk Quite right - any of these gambits and sharp lines after 1 e4 e5 can be very awkward to defend if you don't know the theory, especially in quickplay. You may remember that giving back material with d5 is the right thing to do, but be unsure when to do it. I avoided the problem (as have many others) by switching to semi-open defences, eventually settling on the French where the strategy is usually clear-cut and the main tactics aren't hairy enough to stop you surviving the opening.

Fun Fact: if your opponent plays 5.. Nc6 6. Nf3 this transitions into the Scotch game: Goring Gambit, double pawn sacrifice variation, 5.. cxb2 6.Bxb2, it is like the danish gambit but different as you play 2.Nf3 Nc6 then continue with the danish gambit, a video of yours taught me a line of this opening which goes like this: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.c3 dxc3 5.Bc4 cxb2 6.Bxb2 Bb4+ 7.Nc3 Nf6 8.O-O O-O?! 9.Nd5 Nxe4? 10.Bd3 Ng5? 11.Nf6+!! gxf6 12.Nxg5 fxg5? 13.Bxh7+!!

@iankemp1131 9 месяцев назад

That could be called the "Greedy variation" and Black certainly gets punished for grabbing the third pawn and opening up lots of lines for White. Very pretty. I'm assuming it's 13..Kxh7 and 15 Qh8#.

That's why these work so well in the Danish gambit specifically, although there's a lot of other positions where you have a similar followup to "force" them to accept the sacrifice...just triple check your tactics before committing, frequently you can give up a piece for a blocking pawn and get away with it but not always. I do wish he'd cover more of the "what if they assume shenanigans and *don't* take the obvious bait" moves, though; online people seem to assume "oh thanks for the blunder" but OTB I've never had an opponent not spend time calculating before taking an offered piece. Often times, it isn't enough, and either I can still execute the trap somehow or they realize it's already too late, but they do at least think about it and when uncertain tend to decline the sacrifice and (correctly) hope it at least pushes the game to territory both of us are unfamiliar with. It's why I try to mine these videos for ideas rather than plans; remembering "I can get away with taking the pawn in the 4 knights defense" rather than the entire Halloween Gambit line, for example.

3:41 here, what if Kf8 or Ke7?

Don't take the second pawn unless you're stockfish. As mentioned play d5. (1 e4 e5 2 d4 exd 3 c3 d5 ). Danish is an unsound tricks opening though, black always wins when the opening is used in TCEC. Course, we aren't engines so we can still have our fun.

Since we are all adepts of Igor Nation, it means that we are all e4-e5 players (say hi to Rousseau Gambit), therefore we deal with Danish Gambit a lot as Black. For this reason we simply know how to counter it thanks to Stockfish. All these Danish Gambit-players instantly fall apart after you make 3 or so Stockfish moves in a row because they dont know right continuation and only know those wrong-move lines.

How did you find these absolute-level moves in these positions of this gambit opening? Which engine did you use to find them? I wonder, does an engine really suggest such crazy lines in its first top 3 choices?

@iankemp1131 10 месяцев назад

Ironically most of these lines were known 150 years ago and were found by humans by trial and error in the days when people played the Kings Gambit and Danish Gambit regularly. As defence improved and countermeasures were found for Black (notably giving back some material by d5), they disappeared from master play, though they can still be found in old books. But they can still surprise an unprepared opponent at any level!

At the 14:40 mark, what happens if the black moves g6? Doesn't that stop the attack?

@andersjonsson8403 10 месяцев назад

Have to admit, I have tried it and it's almost unfair... It works 😄 most importantly learned important concepts!

@eclecticmusic123 Месяц назад

Constant problem with this and most other suggested lines is that most players do NOT make the suggested moves!

When I play against the Danish gambit I don't capture the b2 pawn at all, develop my knights and my bishops asap

@andrewburrows7458 8 месяцев назад

Soooo...This scenario falls apart for me when Black plays D6 instead of taking on D4. Then when the Knight comes out I can't push the pawn to push it away. Our hero (the little upwardly mobile pawn) has a sad frustrating life where his ambitions go nowhere and he dies young. 🤕The tempo ends up screwy and I am left with lost material and a hole to try to play out of. Any suggestions?
