This kind of reminds me of a gambit line i discovered against the richter-veresov attack: 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nc3 d5 3. Bg5 c5 4. Bxf6 Nc6!!! where black gives up a knight but forces white to retreat and crushes them with their pawns and active pieces
Amazing idea ! I see quite a lot of potential for a strong pratical weapon since at first glance, White's path to refutation seems quite narrow. Will investigate further. Thanks !
@@ga1ianoplays772 That’s the point. It’s only after black captures that it’s called the “young gambit” which means it’s a gambit from black’s perspective (but more realistically it’s just black blundering a queen).
Stockfish recommends 9. Kf1 just as a second option to Ne2 (in the knight going back variation). After Ne2 Qxg2 Ng3 (threatening to trap) Qh3 Qh5+ Black still had a slight advantage because of the horrible White pawn structure, but the attack is gone.
Happy to say I contributed to ~50 of the games in the database and some of the examples seem straight out of my games. As a mediocre player I can tell you I learned a bunch from this video alone. Particularly the Ne7 in the main line, I always opted for Nf6!
