🔹 The Most Aggressive Chess Opening (+Halosar Trap) –
🔹 Aggressive Chess Opening for White After 1.e4 | Deadly Gambit –

If you love playing attacking chess and you want to learn a simple, universal, and aggressive chess opening for White that you can use against any opening/move of your opponent, you’re going to love this!

In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov teaches you an improved version of the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, called the von Popiel Gambit, which happens after the opening moves: 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5.

This aggressive gambit comes up with a lot of traps for White and the most common responses of Black are losing. And because this opening is universal, you can easily transpose this from any other opening moves of Black.

    03:15 White's devastating attack

    05:58 Transposition from Scandinavian Defense

    13:22 Sideline: Black plays 4…Nbd7

  5. Suppose he plays Bc4?

  6. What about after Bg5 your opponent plays h6?

  8. Argun's snoozing as usual. 😀

  9. What if they just push the pawn and pressurise the bishop 🥲 panik attak

  10. I'd never heard of Von Popiel gambit until I saw a youtube presentation on it by FM William Graif. I play 1. Nc3 and there's several lines I have the option of going into Von Popiel (1 Nc3 d5 2 d4 Nf6 3 e4 or 1 Nc3 Nf6 2 e4 d5 3 d4). Most of my opponents don't play 6 … Bc8 — although the database says that's the most common move — undeveloping a piece can't be good.

  11. Super underrated channel and very powerful gambit. Love your channel keep up the good work. ❤️

  12. Isn’t g4 just a free pawn after Nf3?

  13. Lol what fun is after first move still have options like London or Richter verserov or even jobov London funny line 1d4 2nc3 3bf4 4f3 slower Blackmar let's black make major mistakes good vid thanks

  14. Thanks for teaching agrresive opening in a short period

  15. Love it! Thanks for sharing

  17. I'm really excited to find this gambit here as well! I know it from YouTube videos by FM William Graif (highly recommended!).
    In the end there is only one question left for me, and that is: is it possible to avoid the French Defence? Because exactly in this I do not want to load! French is a very solid defense for Black, and in my repertoire, I don't respond to 1. e4-e6 with d4 or 1. d4-d5 2. e4-e6 "bang" you're where you didn't want to go… 🙂

  18. 3:30 what if instead of e6 Black plays h6 attacking the White Bishop on g5?
    He didn't cover that line and that's why I'm surely losing every game with this Von Popiel Gambit.

    I'm sure most people will play pawn g6 kicking out White Bishop on g5 very early into the game. How can he not cover any of that line?

  19. what if Qc8 to defend the BISHOP on F5

  20. I'm a fairly low rated player and it seems i can never get my opponents to take the bait. every chess game always seems to be different no matter who you play. good stuff though

  21. What if they play h6 after Bg5

  22. Either I don't understand something or you are trying so desperately to sell something that you will gladly say anything even if it is borderline nonsense. You are a GM and you don't know that after 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 the "not dangerous at all" 4…e6 5.Nxe4 transposes to Burn variation of the French defense, an extremely complex positionally line? If that is not "dangerous at all" then what exactly you consider dangerous?

  23. Loved the fireworks on the board!! Do you carry a fire extinguisher with you when you're out torching your opponents?😉😏😇

  25. You didn't say what if King to g6 .

  26. Yeah this was great when FM William Graif made a video showing these lines a month ago

  27. You do not account for Black moving h6 forcing your white Bishop away.

  29. After Nf6 and Bg5, why wouldn't black just play h6 to kick the bishop away?

  30. I love the blackmar diemer…but never won a single game yet with this variation here. Tha6why I m currently not playing it in rated games.

  31. Thanks for the video
