A few months ago, I made a video on how to crush playing 1. e4 and gave various recommendations against Black’s openings in the French, Sicilian, Scandinavian, and so on. In this video, I analyze the Vienna Attack in full depth. It’s excellent for beginners, intermediates, and advanced players.

2022 update, 1.64M
17:12 You said no one plays it. But what if they watched this video?
I fuckin love your pgns…. game changing plugging those into chesstempo or lichess
How does this Vienna Gambit compare in effectiveness with the Scotch Gambit? Which is easier to play, with less theory? And which is more aggressive?
You got 1.65M subs now 🤯 we’ll deserved my man!!
Idk how people finds it difficult to remember these moves I mean I just had to re-watch the video 718th times
Asking for the favorite seasons seems for a great way to get community engagement.
And it's either fall or winter, as long as it's not cold enough for your face to freeze and you can deal with the temperatures by just adding more clothes on top.
18:05
In 2022 you have more than 1.5 million subscribers
U have grown and I hope you will grow more
Atleast a 10 million subscribers
Came here because I faced this with black and played bishop b4 on move 3 and destroyed. It didn't look like I had fucked up many times so I was taken back when this was from whites perspective.
1.66 mil in October '22!
It's so cool to know that Levy just going to reach 100000 subs while making this video and now he has 1.6 million subs
Winter, I like to play with my dog in the snow 🙂
Hey. Hey, Levi… its 2022. 1.66 MILLION subs.
19.46 what if bishop check followed by knight to the centre
Anyone have a suggestion for handling the Anderssen Defense against the Vienna? Move order 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Bc5
What if black do this Bxg1
Cus i play as black piece but my position is white pieceslook like. Like this.
e4 e5
Nf3 Nc6
Bc4 f5
i dont know this gambit name is as black.
You will never face this.
Looks at video.
2.2 million views.
I will face this.
What is to do after 2… Bc5?
It is 2022 and 2.2 million subscribers
Some dude tried to vienna gambit me when i played Nc6. I won . But here i am to learn to defend against this ;D.(and use ))
I agree, fall is the best because i's cool like spring but not soggy.
If you try the sacrificial bishop idea, they can simply take the e5 pawn
What if Qe7 after e5? Cant take the knight its pinned
Hey Levy thank you for making all this great content, I'm a broke student and I'm looking forward to being able to afford your courses one day ! have a great day
You could either watch this video or waste 64 dollars on chessly
1.68 mio 2022 11 oct.
Hola GothanChess, un gusto de saludarte desde Perú, buena explicación de la apertura Vienesa, muy sólida esa apertura y llena de trampas, buen video, y hay otro que me gusta de la defensa escandinava, un abrazo, sigue con tus vídeos y explicaciones para aprender mucho más. Un fuerte abrazo.
You've got 1.68M subscribers now (October 2022)!
“You will never see this in a game” memorizes this exact line to play it as black
17:00 or they saw Gotham’s video and worked on it :p
Dang 1.69m subscribers 😮I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and come back to older openings videos just to try something different. Crazy how many subscribers you’ve attained!
Blacks best move in the first gambit accepted iteration at 2:02 is not Bb4 but Be7 by a good margin.
Declining the gambit should be done with d5 not d6. Is stockfish really that bad of an engine that it would prefer d6 here? It's a difference of 0.35 evaluation.
What if it goes e4 e5 nc3 bb4?
100 k subs is nice man
and how do I copy the pgn
said he was nearing 100k… now at 1.7 mil
2020: this channel is nearing 100,000 subs
now: 1.7 million
1.7 Mil here
got the course))
im watching in 2022 and you have 1.7M lmao!!
10th time viewing this
Watching in 2022 right before my first ever tournament! You have 1.7 million subs. Thank you so much
thanks my nigga
What does white do if black plays g6 immediately after qg4 im the copycat variation?
From 100k to 1.7m that's a step 😂
"if youre watching it in 2021 let me know how many subscribers i have at that point" well it's 2022, and it's 1.7million. not even close to 100k. keep it up ♥
Bro my opponent played Stonewall and i lost my knight on move 4
I hate this game
The perfect video doesn't ex-
