No I don't think so. Qd5 is the move. It threatens immediate checkmate, moves the Q out of the pin, and also threatens the pawn at b7. Black cannot defend both the checkmate and the b7 pawn, and the outcome after that is pretty decisive. You win a knight and black is in a lot of trouble, and you have tempo.

You make great videos, thank you. Will you consider making one on using Lichess to study? I try to use your video teachings with Chess Lv. 100 to practice. The game doesn't always follow your options, especially at the >1400 rating, so it is tough to practice what you cover. I am interested in taking an opening and really studying all the opponent moves to avoid blunders. Is there a way to use this database to make opponent moves and see what the best moves/lines are? When the game deviates from your video lines it beats me pretty easily due to my limited knowledge of the other lines. I am interested in seeing what higher skilled players do as well as what the recommended move is and why. If Lichess doesn't have those features is there something that does you recommend?

@justanotheryoutubechannel3102 10 ай бұрын

sounds like me and the MOSTLY easy englund hartlaub/charlick! I was playing a game yesterday and blundered a mate in one being too anxious to end it and dismissing the rook lift that grabbed my queen instead of advancing it for a corner mate supported by a rook. I love king's gambit DESPITE a 5% or so losing record, but really want to give the danish a try. I refused to even look at it years ago and absolutely didn't click with the scotch, but now that my fundamentals are 300+ points better and I've spent a lot of time tactics training, I'm thinking I want to try it out and see if I can get a winning record with it, if not the same 2:1 win stats I have in the charlick and mieses carokann. that my results are sooo spectacular following Igor's charlick plans, I'm very optimistic that this might click with me too. a big problem with my king's gambit games is I don't like some of the strongest lines like quade gambit or pushing h4 against g5, but I still clobber higher rated opponents in under 20 moves almost daily. perhaps the danish is even better! Lev at gotham chess and Nakumura rate the Danish as "unbeatable" and king's gambit as garbage, so that's 2 more gambiteer votes.

Might be possible to get M2, M5, or M6 once you make the Bishop Battery. M2: If the horse doesn't move, then: Qf3, Qf7#. M5 or M7: If the opponent does move the knight, then e5, exf6, exg7, or opponent's knight moves out, then Qf3, Qf7#. Opponent could move the knight out after Qf3, meaning exf6, exg7, Qf7#. Danish is pretty noice.

9:36 I think the right move is Qd5, as it threatens checkmate on f7, they can try to defend either with 1) the queen or 2)the light square bishop,in both cases you can go Qb2 threatening the rook, and in case 1 you take it, or the second case you can grab their defending bishop or continue in some other way, but damage to their structure has been done

Since we are all adepts of Igor Nation, it means that we are all e4-e5 players (say hi to Rousseau Gambit), therefore we deal with Danish Gambit a lot as Black. For this reason we simply know how to counter it thanks to Stockfish. All these Danish Gambit-players instantly fall apart after you make 3 or so Stockfish moves in a row because they dont know right continuation and only know those wrong-move lines.

Fun Fact: if your opponent plays 5.. Nc6 6. Nf3 this transitions into the Scotch game: Goring Gambit, double pawn sacrifice variation, 5.. cxb2 6.Bxb2, it is like the danish gambit but different as you play 2.Nf3 Nc6 then continue with the danish gambit, a video of yours taught me a line of this opening which goes like this: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.c3 dxc3 5.Bc4 cxb2 6.Bxb2 Bb4+ 7.Nc3 Nf6 8.O-O O-O?! 9.Nd5 Nxe4? 10.Bd3 Ng5? 11.Nf6+!! gxf6 12.Nxg5 fxg5? 13.Bxh7+!!

@iankemp1131 10 ай бұрын

That could be called the "Greedy variation" and Black certainly gets punished for grabbing the third pawn and opening up lots of lines for White. Very pretty. I'm assuming it's 13..Kxh7 and 15 Qh8#.

@SparkSovereign 2 ай бұрын

If he doesn't, you just check with the other bishop to take away the opposite color squares. That's why these work so well in the Danish gambit specifically, although there's a lot of other positions where you have a similar followup to "force" them to accept the sacrifice...just triple check your tactics before committing, frequently you can give up a piece for a blocking pawn and get away with it but not always. I do wish he'd cover more of the "what if they assume shenanigans and *don't* take the obvious bait" moves, though; online people seem to assume "oh thanks for the blunder" but OTB I've never had an opponent not spend time calculating before taking an offered piece. Often times, it isn't enough, and either I can still execute the trap somehow or they realize it's already too late, but they do at least think about it and when uncertain tend to decline the sacrifice and (correctly) hope it at least pushes the game to territory both of us are unfamiliar with. It's why I try to mine these videos for ideas rather than plans; remembering "I can get away with taking the pawn in the 4 knights defense" rather than the entire Halloween Gambit line, for example.
