Rousseau Gambit is soooo sharp. I love how attacking it is as black but i get that it does require accurate play. Just be prepared to lose some games (and not care about losing) until you remember each move and then long term you’ll have an incredible weapon to use in your arsenal. I love it so much.

@wildman1978101 11 месяцев назад

I learned about the Rousseau Gambit from your first video on it Igor and it is by far my most winning opening. I get a smile on my face every time the Italian is played against me. That being said, I am again going to say that this opening requires a great amount of study to be played effectively. There are a ton of moves that are completely unnatural and intuitive. You cannot expect to fumble your way into winning or even equal positions. Now Im gonna watch the video and see how it compares to my 1500+ move study.

Odd question maybe but what about the move pawn to d3 by white as a responds?

@Ghost_of_Paul_Morphy Месяц назад

1:55 after you play e4 and Knight goes back to g1 he says to push d5 and "it's clear you've tricked your opponent and you're dominating him", you won't be thinking that when white replies to your d5 with Qh5

@borninlafc 5 месяцев назад

Can you make a video in response to the what pawn moving to D3? I’ve been doing great with the Rousseau gambit, but I tend to lose more games with that D3 white move. Thanks, Igor!!

@roeydaz 10 месяцев назад

This is a great gambit and I too have watched your other video’s on the Rousseau gambit. But like any opening it needs a lot of work if you are to effectively implement it into your arsenal while playing black. Alas….chess is a complicated game….there is no getting away from that! Thanks Igor for adding on to your series on this fun gambit!

@christobobbo5575 11 месяцев назад

Secret line for white, after f5, exf5, e5, Nd4, Nf6, Nxc6, bxc6, then Be2! After d5, Bh5 check, and black now can't castle, f pawn helps with g6 pushes, and a better game for white imo

@MyBiPolarBearMax 11 месяцев назад

G6 to block the check has black at -0.5 and if you trade off the pawns and take the check with the bishop black is technically -0.8 but in practical terms the entire kingside is destroyed so id rather play as white. In reality I’d probably play Qe7 before the d5 push. Worst case you trade the bishop and queen off and then the exposure of your king matters a ton less and black still has the dominant center and open board and space while white is underdeveloped. I think stockfish has it at -1 but id be fine playing that.

12.54 What if instead of white retreating the bishop to b3 they choose to capture black's pd5 putting black's king in check and black has to capture the bishop with their queen? Black can't play b4 for the discovered attack on white's queen.

@FrancescoGuerrieri 9 месяцев назад

I played this a couple of times and it's excellent, thank you very much Igor! However, more than once I had the opponent moVing the Bishop from c4 to b5 after I threatened it with d5 as suggested in the video. This pinned my knight to the king and made things a lot messier later down the game. Another lesson I learned is that if the opponent's bishop threatens the knight it's best to defend it by moving Nd7 instead of castling. After castling the opponent Occasionally captures the Knight, which effectively ruins the whole gambit and also forces me to recapture the bishop with c6, ruining the pawn structure and King's defense. So overall I feel that it's better to play Nf6 and potentially Qe7 before playing d5.

@Naborbukv2 10 месяцев назад

Could you possibly please add main line for d4 move. By saying this, I mean that normal players don't attack with Queen but rather move their Bishop to b5 (6. Bb5), then our move is Qd6 - show some lines after our 6... Qd6 (for instance, if White respond a3 and other options)

What move do you make if your opponent plays d4?

@martinmelhus7324 10 месяцев назад

Igor, How would you deal with this: 1. e4 e5 2. N-f3 Nc6 3. B-c4 f5 4. d4 pxe4 5. Nxe5 d5 6. B-b5 The pin on the knight is effective, and pushing pawns to displace the bishop will, at best, get it to b3 so it's keeping pressure on the pawn at d5.

@robertovalenzuela3092 11 месяцев назад

The antidote of this gambit is to play 4.d4. Let's recall 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 f5 4. d4 fxe4 (4...exd4 5. e5 gives white freer position.) 5. Nxe5 d5 ( 5... Nxe5? 6. dxe5 with sufficient compensation for white) 6. Bb5 Qd6 ( 6...Bd7? 7. Bxc6 white has advantage )7.c4 with space advantage for white with idea of castling thereafter.

@deeputhomas9887 10 месяцев назад

Can you cover the line: e4 e5, Nf3 Nc6, Bc4 f5, exf5 e4, Ng1 d5, Qh5+. Black needs to play an unnatural move with the King to maintain only a slight advantage. Many black players would blunder from here.

@rpd350 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Igor...keep recommending this dubious (poor?) opening gambit for Black, as I have played against it a few times as White recently with no losses & all wins! Clearly players are trying this probably from your videos, but either poorly understanding it or poorly playing it or both....I know little about this dubious looking gambit, but that doesn't seem to matter, as it has been easy so far to play against & do well. At least I know where to come for advice if I ever need to study it, but until then, I will not spend time analysing it. Surprised you seem to like it so much, so it must be alright if played properly by Black, but I have yet to face that. Best wishes ;-)

I have been trying to employ this and keep running into a move that stumps me a bit...after black f5 (the gambit), white goes d3. Then it just plays out but is there anyway to still employ the tactics of this gambit if, instead of exf5 the opponent plays d3?

@DoomSpellSkadi 5 месяцев назад

As a causal player playing this gambit, I can't see 4 exf5 e5 to threat the knight before I watch this video. Instead of playing e5 as black, I always play 4 d5 and 5 Bxf5 to block the bishop to gain tempo immediately. I keep e pawn protected by knight and develop my bishop. What wrong if I play this variant instead?

@Triumphator616 10 месяцев назад

I play against a 1600 rated computer, but it never takes the pawn and I can't get anything close to even resembling a Rousseau gambit. It goes for Bishop to b5 (Rui Lopez) attacking my c6 knight and it doesn't capture my f5 pawn with its e4 pawn. Instead it keeps developing and keeps defending that pawn while developing. I suppose this opening is not for 1500+ even though it looks damn sweet.

That pushed pawn is a major reason I ended up winning. Hope you enjoy. ru-vid.com8DgvOqqmvo4
