Not to criticise, but you need to watch the witty alien video on the alien gambit. Play d4 and don’t give the knight check unless the bishop comes out, otherwise castle rook e1 etc. the gambit becomes even more powerful when u play it like witty

@tobias4411 2 ай бұрын
Gambit had already been refuted... But the move that stops it is really hard to find, and most Caro players go for their ordinary, logical moves often result in problems. Sure, gambit is dubious according to engine but humans are not engines, therefore it works pretty well in bullet/blitz games with not enough time to calculate correctly 😅

I used to play a opening like this 8 or 9 years ago in a online app called dr.chess. Moving only the knight all the way to the king and disable the castling right by sacrificing it, then unleash full attack on king. But now i forgot the follow up moves, the main aim is to disable the castling rights. This method won't work all the time, but i have beaten a national master with that method when i was around 1200 to 1300 rating..

@@pepperwestwood Checking w. Stockfish, it appears that the knight fork is the only real way to continue the attack. Eric got lucky that black's queen didn't take the g2 pawn and put him on immediate, permanent defense. The fork doesn't actually win the rook because white has to castle to prevent the queen's incursion. But the end black is not far off.

At the 13 minute point he tells a story about how the Alien gambit is not new at all, he played it when he was a kid against Robby Adamson (Adamson made the opening well known back then, and even then it was well known a long time before him).. so yeah, Witty gave it a silly name but it is not new.
