The Danish Gambit opening allows for rapid attack development for white. This video explores the book line moves, along with possible counter-play by black.
isn’t a better move at 2:11 to take the f2 pawn with bishop and check and then to take knight with queen?
yeah if queen takes at 2:11 pawn to d5, very interesting opening but to sacrificial for my liking, only gambit I like is queens which isnt really a gambit at all heh
Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make this.
i was just thinking at about 2:15 black checks ,,
white have been checked shame on you ^^
white knight intervene and after that you castle with both
Looks free but there’s a price to pay in that black gets a double attack on the queen. White loses the advantage of rapid development.
2:11 , should queen just take the free knight?
I think after Ng4 the better move is Qf3. If black tries to protect its night, the next move can be a check mate as Qxf7. Overall, this is a nice move opening for white. I like to play such gambits to gain control over center…
at 2:12 couldnt white just take black’s knight with his queen for free?
??? he cant?
No, you can’t castle if in check or if any of the squares in the castling process are under attack by enemy pieces.
you can castle if checked????
i like my bichess
ah thank you. you know any good responses?
Looks kind of like an attempt at a fried liver attack, also known as the fegatello opening. Usually this is only done when the black player moves his knight out to f6 first.
oops, i think i left out a move. white moves its queen pawn so that the dark squared bishop is protecting the knight. but do u know the name of the opening?
After white takes knight, black can play d7d5 which threatens the queen with his bishop and attacks the bishop with the pawn, this basically negates a lot of the initiative that white had, now that he has to move his queen and will lose that white bishop.
A good example of the value of position vs material in the opening
2:14, why not just take the knight with the queen?
also, does any1 know the name of this opening? i forgot:
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 ?(idk)
4. Ng5 d5 (I think)
I’d like to, but unfortunately I have to be black on FICS so I can play the Latvian
At 3:13, I laughed at the accidental shown Rook takes pawn xD You should do more stuff like that, it’s amusing and captures attention. (Or at least mine
)
Anyways…about the position
I have to admit, white’s position is much stronger after the 3 pawns are offered, but is it worth the material loss?
And a personal question, what do you prefer? Full or half?
Play some blitz on FICS.
You’ll find some people who will jump at the chance.
hey i made up my own strategy could you tell me if it is good?
i call it the knights castle
being black, it ends up with your two knights out in front of your bishops, with the two pawns in between moved forward one space
then move the two end pawns forward 2 spaces
the good thing about it is that if they take any one of my pieces, it can be retaken by 1 or more of my pieces
pls tell me what you think of it
ty
great video as usual
Thank you so much for posting these! You are brilliant. You make it so easy to follow along, unlike other tutorials–good language, graphic coordination, and speed. Very thoughtfully created.
Keep it up!
This is a great video! I just play a bit of casual correspondence chess and was looking for a way to go down a couple of pawns in the opening. Someone recommended this Gambit to me and I found this video while I was researching it. An excellent introduction that clearly explains the possibilities. I’m yet to have an opponent who takes that 3rd pawn, but one day… one day…
