In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov will share with you one of the best chess openings that you can use when playing Internet blitz games. It is the Blackmar–Diemer Gambit, which follows the move order: 1.d4 d5 2.e4.

At first, it may seem like a not so sound idea for White, but when you’re playing online chess (blitz games) in order to win the game, you need to create problems for your opponent. Even the world champion, Magnus Carlsen, says “People crack under pressure… you’ve got to create those problems for your opponents”.

And one of the best ways for you to create such problems for your opponent early on in the game is to play a gambit. Because gambits always give you an extra tempo for development as well as a bunch of open lines and diagonals, which you can later use to attack your opponent.

In the following video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov has also explained the Halosar Trap from this gambit, which follows this move order: 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3 exf3 5.Qf3.

  1. Of course, black can play French or Caro Kann on move two.

  2. Why black bishop didn't kill queen

  3. I play this trap often and from it I have developed my own gambit , it's like a reverse englund gambit .

  4. Whats that an app or website please help me guys

  5. The immense fireplace basally wrap because snowboarding inversely imagine toward a vagabond ash. ambitious, psychedelic michael

  6. 6:23 why not A2 to A3 pressuring black's queen and therefore E3 to C5,forming the checkmate?

  7. What if black plays pawn to c6 after white castles?

  8. What if the queen moves back to D8 after being attacked by the bishop on e3?

  9. Thanks so much for repeating

  10. At the 8:25 8.25 minute mark, couldn’t you checkmate him with Queen C6?

  11. there is another solution with a nice sacrifice involved for the moment at 13:19

    bishop to H7, takes pawn. rook takes.
    queen to G6, check
    black king advances to E7
    bishop to C5, check
    black king to E6
    knight to G5, check mate

    same thing really, but slight variation

  12. That's the thing about tricky gambits youtubers will post them up thinking they'll get veiws and tell people that these traps will be work fantastic if your opponents just plays natural book moves what they don't realise is that some patzers who don't even have proper tactical accumen to defend their position just memorise these traps and claim themselves to know the certain opening what these patzers don't understand is that they only know a trappy line of the opening and since they just memorise it they don't really build up their understanding and when someone plays a classical lines with them they just crumble into pieces trappy lines are not starters to the main course it's the sweet desert after u learn all the technicalities in an opening

  13. courageous and inspiring opening gambits concealing overwhelming precision surprise; makes chess the game it is. what else you got

  14. Don't use word in game, not clear to see

  15. What if queen goes on e5 after we put bishop on e3?

  16. Dangerous move. Need bravery to do that…
