🔹 Tennison Gambit (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) | Chess Trap for White –
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you a tricky chess opening gambit for White. It’s called the Tennison Gambit which happens after the opening moves 1.e4 d5 2.Nf3 sacrificing the e4-pawn.
Although it occurs in the Scandinavian Defense in most cases, it may also transposition from other openings. In fact, you may even force/trick your opponents into the Tennison Gambit from other openings (as explained in this video lesson). One such example is the transposition from the Reti opening 1.Nf3 d5 2.e4.
This is an aggressive chess opening that has a lot of deadly tricks and traps. Most of your opponents will fall for the early queen trap which allows you to win the game in less than 10 moves!

@ 9:25 “And nothing can stop the checkmate” Well that’s not completely accurate. Qxe6… black has at least two moves. … Ne5 discover attacks the queen with the bishop on c8 and guarding f7, After QxN then Ne8 and if the Q resumes attack on the a1 diagonal and the bishop doesn’t take the Knight then follow up with N to d6 and the queen bishop check mate is stopped for now. Though as you say White is still completely winning. The other move is …Qd8 and sacrifices the queen.
Thanks for these video I really enjoy them.

What about 1. E4 – D5 2. NF3 Dxe5 3. NG5 Nf6. 4. D3 Exd3 5. Bxd3 Nc6??
Awesome discussion on video. Thank you.
What if at his 4th move he moves pawn h6 ?
I used to love chess when at school until I realised that white always has the first move advantage. I wonder why a coin toss for who goes first, instead of who plays white, has not caught on?
Finally… Able to execute this gambit. 😁
What about the h6 horse in the bishop position to both defend the checmate and bishop
This was one of the first gambits i played to get cheap wins, I found it more consistent to enter this line by transposing with the Reti (1. Nf3 d5 2. e4) as it was more common for an opponent to respond with d5 (most common reply) than if you open with e5 (5th most common reply). Great opening for crushing beginners, loses it's value when opponents know the simple refutation 5. Bxd3 Nc6.
Opening into one gambit with the option of setting up two more with unorthodox moves during development is more fun imo
SO what happens again if they respond with c5?
My problem is that I have no humans to play with here in Jamaica, just Stockfish, and it seems impossible to fool or trap the thing.
I love chess
Thanks for the demo and video
Thank you so much sir!!!
@ 12:59 black can play Qd1+, after the forced line Qxd1 cxd1Q+ Kxd1 dxf5 he remains with two pawns advantage… still a nice gambit
Love your posts man
this is cool. but do note that if black deviates in some cases the game is -1.5.
my very first game with white and i get to play this gambit, took his queen, made the win, quite amazing strategy! love it
