In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov will share with you the top 3 traps from one of the most trickiest chess openings for Black, the Rousseau Gambit from the Italian Game. It arises after the following moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 f5.
Playing this dubious opening is so tricky. It will be extremely difficult for your opponents to figure out the right moves. There are so many traps and pitfalls, and one little inaccuracy by White can cost the game for them!

Oh… superb Gambit…and nicely explained… thee cheers
I love to see your clips. Thank you very much.
Fantastic chess channel!
I was doing Dura's Gambit that transformed to this very trick. The opponent maintained the H file with his rook. I never thought of the idea to re-route my knight and force him leave the G-File. We ended up killing each other's rook. However, I won the game due to him not getting the chance to castle and save his king. I also admire your idea of first capturing the white's Bishop before forking the king and the rook. Thanks mate.
❤ I've total like this video, and I TOTAL learned a lot of good move moves I've experienced.
Counter to the counter of the rousseau gambit(OP)
Every time I have pushed f5 for the “Rousseau gambit”, I lose my knight to bxg8. I’m still not convinced f5 is a smart move if they snatch your knight instead.
What happens if after black plays f5 white reply nd4?! Can you show us this variation!? Sorry after black plays e4 attacking the knight then black plays nd4!?,what happens
I literally discovered this on my own one week ago and its amazing!
