This video looks at a possible trapping line played by black in the King's Gambit Declined. The trap offers up a free pawn to the white player that has devastating consequences if taken. The video also covers white's best option to avoid the trapping lines and create a comfortable position from which to work from.
4:08 En passant capture, That happened to me the other day, i’d never heard of it… thought it was a mistake in java lol
@lucky101man
lol
so whats that rule at 4:08? pawns can do whatever they want in front of the quen?
ssssssspps,It has nothing to do about the fact of the pawn being in front of the queen.This move is called en passant, it’s one of the chess extraordinary moves,like castling. When a white pawn is in the 5th rank or a black pawn is in the 4th he can take a pawn that moves two squares as if it only moved one square. But remember that it’s only legal in the first opportunity, if you don’t take the pawn in your next move, you can’t take it by en passant later.
ahhh, thank u
I saw a check mate with that move. The loser was freaking out because he didn’t know the rule.
I might be wrong, but I think that another playable move after Qg2 (4:44) is Bxf3. The two responses I noticed were (1. Qxh1 Bxh1 2. xc5) or the blunder (1. Kf2 Bxg2 2. Bxg2 Qxh2).
very good explanation … thanks
if you can, post a video of kings gambit opening
No, that’s an en passant. It’s a special move that pawns can do to each other.
@macewindu210 Yeah! Looks like that’ll give white the knight in addition to the queen swap. I don’t think anyone would do Kf2, though, unless they were complete beginners.
I like the trap that black plays.. I want to try that out. Thanks for the video.
Actually, in my second line, after Kf2 Bxg2 Bxg2, I would probably play Qxc1.
Thanks for the vid. I find all of them very useful and practical towards my chess game.
However, I feel this example is pretty lame. I’ve never seen a player capture the pawn on E5. 99.9% of the time their second move is Knight F3, blocking the queen’s attack.
Are there other solutions how to defend against it? I think only a beginner would capture the e5 pawn on the second move allowing the queen to make that check…
gambits are always suspicious
what program are you using
i don’t understand this situation 4:05-4:10.. notice the white poon captures black poon..?????

@melboy1233 first of all it’s called a pawn not a poon.. secondly that is a legal move called en passant. Look it up if you want. It is basically when a double pawn move is made and an opposing pawn is adjacent to it,it can take the pawn and go one square ahead of the taken pawn.
@ 4:45 isn’t Bxf3! better ?
Don’t forget the bishop being attacked by the pawn. It’s about a pawn worth of material better for black if it just takes the queen first in that position. Thanks for checking out the vid
In my opinion it is very unstable opening and though white loses both possitionally and materially he can maintain a good game.but i think that after
1.E4 the best answer is 1…E6 the french defense which is a solid opening…..
king’s gambit is not very played
nowdays…or migt the sicilian defence…
i would probably take the pawn though
in king’s gambit….any ideas about a stable opening in blitz games ?
yeah white pawn will get black bishop
didn’t see that sorry
@kamakis22 in my opinion the best reply to
1.e4 is 1..c5
