The NEW Blackmar-Diemer Gambit? 

As white, I play the London, which I will defend to my grave. It's reputation as mindless and dull is, in my opinion, very unfair. The deeper you dive into the theory, the more you realize how many complexities lie in every opening position.

Vienna opening with Nc6 Bc4 Bc5 Qg4

Lucchini gambit is just so beautiful and fun, naselwaus gambit is cool too though

NAKHMANSON GAMBIT ALL THE WAYYYYYYYY!

Baltic defense is crazy sometimes or Blumenfeld Gambit

Crazy to see you everywhere now lol

I love graif!!

+1 :(

Darn, it was my secret weapon too! ;)

the whole "gambits are unsound" mantra is a grandmaster LIE! they are only unsound against grandmasters! If you look at major gambits like the BDG, smith morra, french wing & alapin DIEMER (cough cough), and king's gambit etc., you'll see that they commonly perform at 8% STRONGER to START at ratings under 2000, but if you dig into the theory, you find lines like the ice queen that obliterate AMATEURS!!! in fact, king's gambit starts out 52% wins to 44% losses after 1.e4 e5 2.f4 with Gary Fisher's "refutation" 2...d6 scoring 53% to 43% for a full 10% edge! the way to beat the gambit is to COUNTERGAMBIT!!! 2...d5, the falkbeer counter gambit, scores 47% to 50% for a 3% edge to black and is the STRONGEST reply by 1% PERIOD! gambits kick butt at the amateur level! gambits aren't unsound, at the amateur level, they literally decimate! When I first started playing the smith morra, my win rate against the sicilian was something like 10% in grand prix, advance and wing gambit, but i instantly jumped to something like 90% in the morra, and my rating in just that, starting with the rating from my 1st game was something like 250 points higher than my actual rating! I'm doing terrible now, but I haven't played in a decade and have forgotten everything and theory has evolved. i see a lot of crazy new stuff nowadays and NO-ONE allows the scandinavian gambit anymore. everyone's figured out the pavnov transfer, but that's OK, the icelandic kicks butt. point is, don't let anyone perpetuate the gambit hate! go to lichess and show them gambit stats under 2000. trolls will argue that the numbers aren't the numbers, but such is confirmation bias. i've played maybe half a dozen 2000+ players, so wishy washy GM theory is irrelevant to me. besides, 2000 rated players book up, so I'm playing book theory as it trickles down to amateurs anyways. a +3 points edge is +3 points no matter how high an opponent's rated!

@@justanotheryoutubechannel3102 i mean the fact that they do have refutations and lose if the other player knows the correct ideas and moves means that they are not sound. Sure i beat lower level players with all of my gambits like the bgg and the nakhmanson but they arent sound. They hella fun though and my whole repertoire is based off of them. Just because people fall for them doesnt mean they are sound though

@@yeetusdeletus5714 they aren't THEORETICALLY sound, true, but amateurs, even high rated players make mistakes. i just beat a 1924 in EIGHT MOVES in a casual lolli gambit! 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. Bc4 g4 5. Bxf7+ { C37 King's Gambit Accepted: Lolli Gambit } Kxf7 6. Ne5+ Ke8 7. Qxg4 d6?? 8. Qh5+ black resigns. at the amateur level, you can PREDICT the blunders that are common and build theory to exploit it. I just got into an argument in a thread where I posted theory for a line where black gets he queen x-rayed against almost EVERYTHING he does with the ONLY equalizing line being played something like 5% of the time. some hater proudly stated some move "refutes the theory" (it takes more than a single move!!!) yet in something like 15k games, it's only been played 6 times. OOOOOOOOOH I'm SO SCARED of that's so rare the chances of a pig falling on my head when I step out the door are higher! LOL besides, as a position stupid pure kamikaze, i live for double edged, even "unsound" positions. I'm still 100% in the "unsound 50:50 stat krejcik alekhine" and agsinst the falkbeer counter gambit, which is black's strongest performing reply against king's gambit (ANOTHER gambit... GO FIGURE!), I tend to destroy my opponents WITHOUT BOOK because I'm better at tactics than them. it's quiet positional positions that destroy me... don't get me started on gambit hating french cowards1

😅🤣😂

What's your rating?

@@camerondavis6607 It's a secret.

@@ivoyaglichev3851 1700

@@camerondavis6607 Wrong.

6. …Qg4 should be the best move, but there is 7.Qf2: white is playing to develop fast, the black queen is misplaced on g4, for black it’s hard to get the bishops out (line continues with 7. …Qf5 8. Qd2) I suggest watching ben finegolds video on the this gambit to learn main theory

I'm an E4 player and I hate playing against the Scandi so i learned the blackmar gambit just to play against it

After that ...Nbd7 annoyance, mr. Schrantz proudly declares that such moves are not allowed in Hope Chess.

at rating 3300

Sort of. The Yogurt (I think a fruit one) Counter-Gambit was played during the Karpov - Korchnoi series of games.
