Scottish gambit was the only opening I kinda studied and played a lot. Eventually I won most games in the youth part of my club (up to 16). Few studied openings very deeply. It was more about good principles, intuition and maybe looking a few moves ahead. When I got in the older group NO ONE ever played e5 anymore. Most played Sicilian and I lost every game. Everyone else studied every opening to at least some degree. I dabbled in queen's gambit a bit to avoid sicilian but I felt too behind. Probably to stubborn I didn't want to win by tricks but just good play. If I had heard the wise words "Play the opening like a book, the middle game like a magician, and the endgame like a machine." I might have put some more effort into it. I just wanted to play like a magician.

This is very interesting content! Thank you for uploading GM Smirnov. Only at 3:58 after 11. Ne4 - d6+ not Ke8 - f8 because with Re1-e8 its check mate imediatly but with Ke8-d8 you stay longer in the game. Ok after Ke8-d8 White can play Nd6-f7+ but it is not check mate right away! None the less stil very interesting!!! 👍👍👍

I didnt check bot but this leads me to think maybe situations like this would be better trade early queen for rook and keep the development, sacrificing quality but stoping having the queen bullied.

@frankogbes33 Жыл бұрын

The last part of the video where you analyzed the game, black can still stop white from checkmating by moving the black bishop to G7 in front of the H8 rook instead of moving black queen to h3. With this, the white Bishop is exposed, the white Queen is at risk of been killed by the black bishop on G7. How can white win from this position?

@nbi4220 Жыл бұрын

What happens if black is content to just return the pawn? For example, after 9... Be7 10. Bg5 black seems to equalize with O-O! as black threatens to hang onto the pawn so white has nothing better than to exchange on e7 and win the d4 pawn which leads to nothing. And that's the whole problem with the Scotch Gambit, black can steer the game into a lifeless do-nothing position as there is no way for white to force a Max Lange proper - it requires black to be overly ambitious in order to afford white continued pressure. It might be better for white to aim for the modern Two Knights variation with 5. e5 instead.

@paolobaroldi9398 2 жыл бұрын

Why Black does not castle instead of capturing Bg5? What’s the counter move for White? Capturing Be7 does a perfect parity!

@bombswabs3041 Жыл бұрын

Why not black Knight C-6 to E-5? Unpinning the knight on E-4? And at the same time covering the F-7 square? Is this because white knight on F-3 takes black knight on E-5? Perhaps But I can see some counter moves. Thoughts?

I am playing around the 480-540 level. I cannot for the life of me get above 550. I studied this video for 3 hours. played it over and over and went for it. I lost 12 games as white trying this because nobody in this range plays theory, so i was constantly up against totally unorthodox moves. I have been stuck here in this range for over a month trying everything...nothing is working "the way it should". Help?
