♛ Find the opening variations shown in the video in this blog-post - chess-teacher.com/kings-gambi...
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares his favorite chess opening to counter the King's Gambit as Black. The King's Gambit arises after the following moves: 1.e4 e5 2.f4.
Back in the day, it was one of the main chess openings for White, with top world chess players like Paul Morphy and Adolf Anderssen playing it repeatedly. Nowadays, while it’s less popular at the top level, players like Carlsen, Nakamura, and Nepomniachtchi still occasionally use it during online blitz games. However, the opening remains extremely popular at the amateur level.
The main problem for Black in playing against the King's Gambit is the careful decision required to accept the gambit and venture down the rabbit hole of the mainline after 2...exf4. In fact, White achieves a massive 66% win rate in the most played moves of the mainline.
On the other hand, choosing to decline the gambit with passive and casual moves such as 2...Nc6, followed by 3...d6 can easily allow White to launch a powerful kingside attack, especially if Black doesn't know how to handle the open f-file for White’s rook after castling.
Therefore, it is important to learn the best way to counter the King's Gambit, and that is exactly what you will learn from this video lesson.
You will learn the Bonsch-Osmolovsky Variation from the King's Gambit Accepted, which is a perfect opening choice for Black. It is very easy to learn, solid, and avoids all the complex theory of the King's Gambit.
Even Magnus Carlsen got trapped in only 6 moves against this variation, showing just how tricky it is!

The problem with facing the King's Gambit is that you face it so rarely. I've tried learning lines for the counter-gambit, but have always forgotten them by the time I see the opening on the board. 😂

@@NormalKid84 I literally just said that doesn't work well. I have to play lines repeatedly and frequently to really understand them - that's when they ingrain. Some people have good rote memory, others have stronger conceptual memory. I'm in the second demographic.

That's the issue not only with responding to the king's gambit but a zillion other dubious gambits that arise after double king pawn openings. That's why I recommend to play something else in short time controls. In slow games, sure you can try to challenge their prep, but in fast time controls defending is practically impossible or almost.

As a Kings Gambit player I always play Bishop to C4 first after gambit is accepted cos it’s rare and very sharp, I develop the other Knight later on. It’s nice to know an opening and have it counter, Great way to learn makes it more flexible

Usually the Falkbeer is hard to play against as it sort of constantly baits white to make the wrong move while blacks plan is pretty straight forward. At least for amateurs like me.

I like to play a variation off the Kings Gambit Accepted called the Breyer Gambit. Basically it goes e4 e5 f4 exf4 (Kings Gambit Accepted) then instead of bringing the knight to f3, you place the Queen there. Here's the theory.... Gambits aren't meant to be the definitive way the chess game should have logically gone. Its meant to give an advantage. Usually that means seizing a very strong initiative, or superior tactical positions. In this one, its meant to play on the tyoe of player the opponent is. If the are very safe, they try to develop without trading, then castle queenside (since my Queen is hovering on his kingside). Depending how black plays, there are some 4ply traps that he can fall into....or he could save it. But a good gambit should provide the opportunity for some hard to see traps.

King's Gambit is my go-to for white. While I don't know much of the theory on it, I do very, very well with it. But I have encountered a few defenses against it which threw me for a loop. Igor, this video is perfect timing as I wanted to look up some defences against it to play the opening even better.

Interesting line, I will keep that in mind when I would be bored of the pickler gambit

7:45 what about knight to a3 to defend against the royal fork square? I know they can take the bishop and you lose castle rights, but is there someting even worse or is it a manageable position?

@brianseiler5987 6 күн бұрын

Is there ever an explanation of black going queen h4 immediately… seems that’s the most common move but never even mentioned. Is it an obvious trap and blunder?

@joepangia4413 7 күн бұрын

A hundred years ago when I was an active player I used to play 2… B-B4 (that’s 2… BC5 for you young whipper snappers). I’m pretty sure Igor is familiar with it. Solid, Trappy and irritating as hell for the white player who was undoubtedly dreaming of a powerful swashbuckling attack.

@felix.gulsrud6271 6 күн бұрын

I am old, too. The Bishop gambit was Bronstein's recommendation. Now using the computer, John Shaw has refuted it. But chances are near nil that you meet an opponent who has 1) read that refutation 2) understood it 3) still remember the moves. So it is pretty uninteresting which gambits are proven incorrect, as long as it isn't crap like the Englund gambit. When it comes to the King's gambit, everyone should know that it's a high risk venture for both sides. I refuse to be at the receiving end of it; i.e. I don't play 1...e5, no P-K4 as black.

@felix.gulsrud6271 6 күн бұрын

I am going to check out that 2...Bc5. Looks annoying, yes.

@felix.gulsrud6271 6 күн бұрын

2...Bc5 is The Classical Declined and is as old as the KG itself. I have only been aware of the Falkbeer. The most trappy lines in the Classical seem most fun. If white is annoyed by these, he or she is no King's gambiteer. Perhaps better play the London, as Shaw writes.

Of course nobody as white should choose the king's gambit without reading John Shaw's book. Ne7 d4 d5 Nc3 de Ne4 Nd5 and among a bunch of other fun we could have Bd3 Be7 c4 Bb4 Kf1
