🔹 The BEST Chess Opening Against 1.e4 – Every Move is a Trap! –

â™› Find these examples/games in this blog-post –

In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you the top 5 fastest checkmate traps in the Rousseau Gambit. The Rousseau Gambit (or Ponziani Countergambit) is a chess opening that begins with the moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 f5.

This gambit opening is very tricky and comes with a lot of deadly traps. It is very easy for White to make fatal mistakes and lose the game in the opening stage.

Even advanced-level players struggle to find the best moves in these variations and fall for the traps, as you can see in one of the examples in this video.

  1. just as i thought….i knew this opening was too good to be true even Magnus knew it. as a matter of fact i lost terribly when i first used this opening in a club match. I practiced this opening and followed all basic variations thinking i have a surprise weapon. after my opponent accepted the gambit at exf5 I pushed at e4 thinking either his Knight will go back or pin the epawn with his queen….BUT to my horror, he sacrificed his Knight Nd4….and i thought he must have gone mad and lost hope and so i happily took his Knight at Nxd4…..and that's when all went south on me. He moved Qh5+ and together with his pawn at f5 and bishop at c4 made a suffocating attack on my King in Legal's mate style. and then my opponent said "You didn't see the How to Destroy the Rousseau Gambit video"…and i just replied with a stup!d alibi …" I don't even know what that is"…

  2. As a Vienna player these lines were very easy to understand… in fact I’m surprised it all still works down a tempo. Cool stuff!

  3. Sorry, but you’re absolutely wrong about your statement that an ai-Carlsen has anything to do with the real Carlsen and that you could take so-answers as if they were real ones. I like your channel but honestly this is the most stupid assumption

  4. Defend pawn with queen is solution stop black Queen

  5. Lol this is so much fun at around 1000 level.

  6. How about a lesson on the Modern Defense?

  7. What if after exf5 e5, Nd4 Nxd4, Qh5! Seems like whit is in a superior position then.
