  1. I only sacrifice pieces aggressively!!!!

  2. I've literally never played chess but this was a blast to watch lol

  3. Problem, normally you cant move pieces if one is in the middle in PC Chess

  4. great. I lost many games by icbm gambit

  5. See i love this opening the problem is that i don’t know when to stop sacrificing pieces

  6. Most people won’t take the e5 pawn on their second move in truth, most people either support with the knight or drive with e5

  7. The rocket knows where it is because it knows where it isnt.

  8. North Korea has your location

  9. When I play chess I make sure my pieces follows order 227 with no step back

  10. You could almost better describe it as a long range cruise missile gambit instead, as it's more of a targeted attack than a "wipe the whole board" attack(not that that's really possible in chess anyway unless you basically instakill the king somehow)

    I just imagine the white queen riding a cruise missile cowboy-style to the black queen's room in their castle

  11. Honestly i thought this was going to be a podel style video, and there would literally be a chess icbm….. however, a meme strategy works toom

  12. i tried this 341 times.. every time i move my knight my opponent instead of trying to support with ther knight, moves their queen to D5 🙁

  13. I enjoy being spoken to by a human, so I wont be watching any further

  14. LoL, or you can just assume your opponent knows about that ICBM trap and the counter, and play about opening instead…but then things get complicated.

  15. Had me rolling this is great I’m gonna use this in my next match against my friend

  16. I have not been a victim of this.
    But when I was in a Chess Tournament; I was about 8th rank in my chess club, but that is NOT impressive since there were only about 12 members. So in a Chess Tournament I totally fell for one of the even more obvious Chess Traps…and the Volunteer Chess Club manager just looked at me with such disappointment;-(

  17. WAIT!!! How did YouTube know I'm playing Chess again? Why did this get recommended to me RIGHT NOW? I haven't played Chess in over 10 years.

  18. I like the cocking sound from Golden Eye

  19. this opening is literally garbage

  20. My brother accidentally managed to do this to me when we were both still learning the rules of chess from our dad. I was completely flabbergasted to say the least since neither him nor me were expecting that. 🤣

  21. Hi, I don’t play chess 👋 Why would the opponent go D5 at the beginning where you say “everybody does this”?

  22. I'm going to try this on my friend next time we play against each other, they're very aggressive and I'm normally very odd in that I adopt Data's strategy from that one episode of TNG and I always play for a draw; so this will catch them off guard

  23. I have used the ICBM before

  24. I expected this to be a meme

  25. Let's add an airplane, you know what it does to the towers…

  26. I used to do this with my dad, but I played black. However, it's necessary to note we played with the Chivalry rule; knights cannot attack knights. Try Chivalry, it's really fun. Makes you think differently.

  27. I prefer to call this the “Rocket-Across-The-Entire-Board-And-Absolutely-Atomically-And-Anatomically-Annihilate-Their-Queen” Gambit, AKA, the RATEBAAAAAATQ Gambit

  28. Thats what V2 is for!

  29. I usualy just do this without sacrificing. I do it when i have the chance

  30. I will call this opening the Avalon Opening personaly. Avalon is a huge dam and also a ICBM missile silo in Ace Combat Zero. The ICBM is called V2 and before launching it as the queen you always say <<It's time.>> from Larry "Pixi" Foulke.

  31. Looks like a strong opening^^

  32. Can this be used against Magnus Carlsen?😅

  33. I don't play chess, but I'm okay with this showing up in my nukes-and-rockets binge.

  34. omg I love trolly attacks

  35. Loved every second of this. 😂

  36. But… as long they do move that Bishop, you'll lose your Queen no matter what, right?

  37. Love that explanation. Reminds me as some countries use other ones smaller to kick his opponent. 😉

  38. wait, why is it white's turn and the black king is in check?

  39. ->Shows the opening
    ->Refuses to show how to actually win and says if you don’t already know then you’re hopeless.

  40. This channel is like for chess fans but with ADHD 😅

  41. And here i thought this was bosnianape video
