Just tried the Duras Gambit and won first time, simply knowing what's going on compared to your opponent, is exactly how to win against anyone
My favorite chess video yet! Love the sense of humor and the cheerful presentation too. Also, just used the grob opening and it was … cruel :)))
My chess is much more fun and engaging after few of your videos and the level is way way up. Haven't lost a game with checkmate since quite a while even if I am constantly experimenting!
You sir, are a great teacher! Thank you!
Being a Star Trek fan, saw 'Duras' and had to check it out. Will have to try it.
Duras gambit was the most surprising I actually thought you were joking around at first but then I kept watching and I gotta say it's really cool
Of course I know surprising chess openings. My favorite opening is: e4; d5; e4xd5; d8xd5; b1c3; d5a5; b2b4; a5xb4;
c3b5; b4a5; f1c4; c7c6 this is a big mistake, because after the bishop takes on f7, the game is won for white. After e8f7 comes queen h5 and black loses his queen. f7f6; c1b2; e7e5; b2e5.
After the king moves, you move the knight to c7 and the queen has to sacrifice herself.
After e4 white has brilliant kxd4
I ❤ Hallowen gambit 🙂
Huh ? Men it's Colapse it's stances ! Fantastically clear aspects😮.
There’s the kádas opening with 1-h4 h5 2-a4 a5
awesome insane stuff. 😀
Thanks for this lesson learning
Amazing openings😂😊 the duras gambit was dangerous
In second gambit White also play Kb6 instade of taking back Kf6 so black loss a rukh😊
Hype train. Trade out for no 1 next year.
What all dumb oppening
Excellent opening videos duras, Rousseau gambit were amazing 😊😂🎉
Is there any chance you can go through the Latvian Gambit?
I told my friend that the grob was the worst opening and played it against him. Some moves later he resigned.
DON'T PLAY THE DURAS
Duras Gambit (No 4) is another load of old rubbish. Honestly all you need to do is try any of these againt the best Gambit busters of all :- 900-1000 ELOs and let them utterly destroy you and then you can safely disregard
What ACTUALLY happens is of course White ignores it and advances his pawn to e5, then he protects it with d5 and subsequently Bf4 and as Black you find yourself in all sorts of trouble just like all these gambits
