In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov will share with you one of the most savage and aggressive chess openings for White after the first moves 1.e4 e5.

It is from the Italian Game, the Nakhmanson Gambit to be precise, which happens after the following moves: 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d4 exd4 5.0-0 Nxe4 6.Nc3. White sacrifices the knight, a shocking move in the opening. The gambit can also arise from other openings like the Bishop’s Opening or the Scotch Game.

This will definitely shock your opponents and will guarantee you a lot of victories. The gambit is so deadly that even the world chess champion Magnus Carlsen got crushed by it in an online game.

Watch till the end as GM Igor Smirnov also shows the best continuation for Black as to how to refute this aggressive opening line.

  1. how do I know my style? This is something I've wanted to know for a long time! I like attacking games but also like positions where I control everything with no coutnerplay for my opponent and can slowly beat him. How would you suggest I find out my style?

  2. Your teachings are phenomenal. You are both intriguing and understandable.

  3. Thanks for this video. But can you teach me how to play against bishop’s opening?

  4. 6:05 what you will do after b1 move? I want to continue the line if possible

  6. I'm 64 years old and thanks to you Igor I have a new hobby and that's playing chess.
    I wake up thinking about chess and I go to sleep thinking about it.
    BTW I love the way your new way of recording so we can see you and your actions.
    Your biggest fan.
    Pam Huett. ❤

  7. What if they go bishop f8 to c5 after you kingside castle

  8. Who is the greatest chess player ever ?

  9. Hello! In 7:20 what if black plays bg4?

  10. This is a tricky gambit for a bullet game. Can be used as a surprise in a blitz game. This is highly unsound!!

  11. Thank you a lot and merry Christmas , I want to ask about Busch gass gambit , please make a lesson about it . 🌹🌹🌹🌹

  12. Thanks GM IGOR. You're the best – FROM THE PHILIPPINES!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  13. Just tried this and got wrecked pretty badly. Opponent came right out with his queen and went to h4 and messed me all up

  14. HI Igor, thanks for this video. Personally, I think that you should be teaching principled moves along with the dodgy (exciting) gambit lines. When you said "… they're likely to take this pawn because it doesn't seem like there's any danger here", I thought "Hang on. Surely it's too risky for black to take the e-pawn and risk getting his knight pinned after 6.Re1 because Black's king is on the open e-file and can't castle immediately, right? My version of Stockfish gives this line: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. d4 exd4 5. O-O Nxe4(?) 6. Re1(the principled reply) d5 7. Bxd5 Qxd5 8.Nc3! Qa5 9. Nxe4 Be6 10.Neg5 0-0-0! and it's dead even… but not obvious (to low-rated players). What do you think?

  15. Very good tactician

  16. Splendid. Thank you

  17. 3:41
    How the hell did you move your rook twice????

  18. Absolutely love your channel. Your an amazing teacher. Would you consider doing the best openings for black? Or more videos while playing as black. I leaen so much from your videos. Thanks for making them

  19. Thank you for uploading very good like to see more like this or iff anyone recommend other similar videos will be appreciated, happy chess learning people 👍

  20. ES MUY FÁCIL DE ENTENDER A PESAR DE NO ENTENDER SU IDIOMA

  21. I have a question: What is the name of your cat? I missed him/her on this video..

  22. I think 6…Nd6 is another method for declining the gambit…

  23. I'm not going as far as labeling this opening as rubbishish but if black knows what to do, it is better for black.
    Either 6. … Nxc3 or Nd6 refute the gambit.
    I wouldn't recommend it for long games, though in Blitz it may be a surprisingly weapon.

  24. GREAT TRUE STUFF FOR TODAY REALITY !!!!!!!!!!

  25. Isn't that Urusov Gambit??!

  26. Thanks for soo interesting variation, because I always play the bishopopnings! 😊👍♟

  27. Nakmanson is great opening but just like Smith Mora gambit very compicated

  28. How should react to an opponent that plays quick must I remain calm or
