  1. Lots of laughs I fell to this playing a Caro Kahn on lichess but person didn't know the whole line really annoying I hide on g8 lol and it was a GM playing a tournament Caro Kann Exchange

  2. 7:03 But bishop to C4 allows the king to retreat and protect que queen, how is this winning?

  3. Would the gambit still work if ur opponent were to play e5 at the start??

  4. Thanks, this feels like cheating though ๐Ÿ˜
    You didn't mention how to refute this line and avoid this happening to us? I guess don't take the gambit? ๐Ÿคช

  5. One thing to improve on this is that sometimes Black pushes e5 instead of attacking the knight. Then you just pretend that you're simply developing the bishop on e3, and then use it to check the king when he escapes to e7. This worked several times with me.

  6. love your vids but I can't remember them when I play ๐Ÿ™ƒ

  7. Ekscellen video ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

  8. Transportation is an interesting subject. More transpositions!

  9. most powerful anti-scilian opening:
    just go d4.

  10. What do you play after 4โ€ฆh6, i always get this move

  11. Winning in 8 moves is wishful thinking! And it remains to be seen whether white can win being a Queen up versus a Bishop and Knight down!

  12. It's also applicable against dutch defense.. 1) Nf3 f5… 2) e4… F into e4.. 3) Ng5… Nf6
    4)d3…e into d3..5)bd3… D5 getting center but it is trap
    6) b into h7…N into h7 7) qh5… King d7…. 8) nf7 + fork

  13. At 7.51, invite queen capture by playing h4 . If black plays Ne8, e5 leads to checkmate by Qf7, Qf3. If black plays h5, continue with f4. At the very least this nets a minor piece for white

  14. I reached 1000 elo in less than 2 months you definitely helped me alot๐Ÿ˜Š

  15. What I like about Tennison Gambit is that it looks like you're just making dumb 800 level moves. When playing over the board, you could definitely sell this against unsuspecting opponents with a little acting.

  16. Brillant vidรฉos as usual. Good timing as well, lots of precious infos

  17. Why on earth are you so sure the opponent will defend the pawn with a knight and not bishop? Even on 1000-1200 lichess ratings people are not that dumb, so this works barely in 10% of all my games.

  18. Usually no plays into my hands but this trick worked first time! Thank you and big well done๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

  19. Clear, and practical advice. You speak to a constellation of situations in a helpful summary way that is somewhere between strategy and tactic. Thank you.

  20. I watch these trap videos, never to actually play the trap, but to not be the fool that falls for it ๐Ÿ’€

  21. Sorry i commented on the wrong video of yours this strategy made me win 2 games ๐ŸŽฎ

  22. I guess the thumbnail is somewhat misleading ..
    It shows that White's last move was Nf7 forking queen and rook
    When black king takes the knight. Bg6 lures the king front which allows the capture of the black queen

    Instead of moving knight to f7 in the first place …. Bishop to g6 was mate
    Am i wrong? Correct me if I missed something

  23. But what if on 6:34 Bqd5 attacking knight and there is no perspectives to chackmate with knight/bishop scheme ?

  24. how if Bf5 instead of Nf6

  25. This is the most brilliant chess channel for us under 1600 level players. Spasibo

  26. Please advise, 2:55 what if black moves Qe5 checking white?

  27. 2000 elo? I can barely get to 1000!

  28. Intercontinental ballistic missile

  29. Time for the Intercontinetal Ballistic Missle Gambit!

  30. โ€œไฝ ่‡ไบ†โ€๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  31. What to do when your opponent doesnt take the second pawn on d3 but instead attacks your queen with bishop G4? my opponent did this and I completly crumbled. even stockfish says pawn d3 doesnt work. do they have to take it?

  32. What if black brings out the rook pawn to take your knight instead of taking your d3 pawn so you can bring out your bishop?

  33. Very nice and excellent thanks of you Mr.Igor Smirnov ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒน

  34. What if instead of attacking your knight, black plays knight to c6? This totally destroys the plan, as the black queen is now protected.

  35. โคโคโคโคโคโคI love this! thank you!

  36. QxC7 does not actually get trapped after the Tennison gambit if you follow it with one key move: After their pE5, you go pH4, then they go NE8 or BD6, you follow with a check at pH5+, then their king hides at H7 and this opens up a safe sqare for our brave queen to escape, QF7. From there the queen can get back down to safety or swoop over to QxB7 if opponent moves the C8 bishop.
    I have be playing many iterations of this vs decently ranked bots and trying to find the best lines following the queen grab. So far I'm convinced QxC7 followed by the H pawn check escape is the best line.

  37. so nice opening and traps

  38. In the Caro variation, if they play h3 on move 5 instead of the Nf6, there's a forced mate after Kxf7. You can play Qh5+, and it's mate in 5

  39. My dumbass would play e6

  40. I am 3-0 playing the Tennison Gambit. Just finished the main line as first shown, won the Queen, and then proceeded to crush my opponent. IGOR NATION!!#

  41. What if h6 after d3. White loses castling. Plz give your input
