  1. Ne7? play Nxe5 hitting the queen

  2. I believe that this is called the Italian Variation of the Italian Game.

  3. Oh what a trolling intro music…

  4. 7:21 White needs to play accurately to win after BxN+ QxB RxQ KxR because while the Black King is forced out into the open White is a piece down and has no rooks.

  5. At 9:06 would black gain from castling instead of moving a knight?

  6. R.I.P. Headphone users for the music

  7. Can you create some videos about creating a plan and strategies ?

  8. Your queen move was wrong on that first variation.

  9. Very much irritating mouse pointer

  10. MY mom can hear the music and she got mad at me. Next time pease lower the volume

  11. Why can't black' s bishop just move back to c5 in the Evans Gambit after b4?

  12. I played first 40 seconds in fast speed, thanks anyway

  13. the "g" in giuoco is pronounced as a "g" not as a "j". like the "g" in gambit, game etc

  14. I like this oppening very much

  15. I am a big fan of your videos Kevin pls give more video and my name is kavin
    You have many opening

  16. What if instead of bishop to c5, black moves queen pawn to d5?

  17. This opening gives me a high I know I’m weird

  18. Did he say thrust enough?

  19. At 08.06 how about Ne5 instead of Bf6…white losing

  20. 2.54 the move is bad. I think otherwise.

  21. What chess software is this?

  22. It's actually pronounced jokeo

  23. If the night will go to na5?

  24. So you loose 2 rooks, a bishop, and a pawn for a queen and a knight.

  25. Wow, this was a while ago…

  26. Great explanation and walkthrough of this. Very helpful

  27. Thanks so much for this🙌

  28. I really understand it quickly

  29. I got into a situation: I play a game identical to the first scenario in this video up to the point when black is supposed to retreat with his knight to e7. Instead he went Nd4, which according to me is much better move as he is now threatening my queen and knight on f3 (with check). Obviously if I try to save my queen or the knight, I lose one of the bishops. How can I get out of this? It put me into great disadvantage!

  30. Could have used that trap today. Should have watched this sooner lol.

  31. You're mispronouncing Gucci Piano.

  32. Too loud.

  33. Hi, can you please discuss the black playing Bc5 instead of Ba5 in the Evans gambit variations?
