Maybe we'll start seeing more dubious openings in elite tournaments?

i mean the scotch gambit is considered equal. its not even dubious. awonder never went below 0 according to the engine

@jjabrahms157 Жыл бұрын

@@hareldavidson738 I think it's dubious because it allows black to equalize easily compared to other openings

A few months ago we saw Awonder beat GM Nihal Sarin with the Busch Gass gambit in the Junior Speedchess champtionship. Commentators. Daniel Naroditsky and Jeffery Xiong had no idea what was going on. "Oh this is the Stafford..." No. Though it can transpose to Stafford (which it does) or Traxler depending on how the opponent responds. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ncigoqt-v5yZgYU.html

I'm shocked Levon didn't play the mainline of nf6. Like it's so easy for black to equalise and not allow these shenanigans. That said, I'm delighted he did go for this line, because this looks like a game straight out of the 19th century and I'm here for it.

why?, these guys spend years playing solid mainline openings and never see these gambits against other strong players. this is evidence that it is possible to get them out of prep

@@benjaminjones5744 I just meant even as a lowly 1200 player, I wouldn't tempt fate and try to hold on to the pawn. 4... Nf6, 5. e5, d5, 6. Bb5, Ne4, etc... it's not black's most ambitious try, but it's a safe and easy way to achieve equality.

Seeing a super gm get clobbered like this is somewhat cathartic because we've all been there. When you play on your favorite chess site and your opponent whips out some wacky dubious looking opening and you think to yourself "... this can't be right..." then 10 moves later you find your king pushing daisies.

Jonathan Schrantz apparently has proven his appeal to Canadian "prog" organists - a most important sub-category of viewers you can find if you look DEEP in the analytics. Prog is nothing but a bunch of questionable musical gambits anyway so the appeal makes sense. Hope you are still enjoying music (and chess!).

Aronian handled the position very poorly. The same line, known from an ancient game Meek vs Morphy, was played 4 years ago in a game Vlad. Kovalev- Kramnik. Kramnik handled the position very well, only to blunder at move 30, but he eventually saved the half-pont as Kovalev did not find how to win a theoretically easy exchange-up ending.

A patzer (German for "bungler") is slang for a poor chess player, so a "patzer move" just means a crude-looking move or idea.

This kind of tournaments where rising talents play against super GM’s is the best. Super GM’s playing 25 moves of theory against each other to draw their games and protect their rating is a curse of chess. I think FIDE has to do something about it. May be the organisers (like the Sinquefield cup) should mix it up when it comes to invitations.

I don't think that I've ever seen 3 exchange sacs in a row! Aronian tried, might have saved at master level. Wasn't white lucky, the back rank was covered ?! Some attacks just play themselves, and the sacs involved. Qf6 was the crunch, but an easy find at this level. Where in the game, or opening, was Aronian actually lost, is the real question.

Scotch gambit or queens gambit? Help me find an opening

@robertuzumaki5974 Жыл бұрын

I tried scotch gambit. Stopped playing it, since it's easily neutralized, from my experience. That's ofcourse depending on your rating level. I tried 1 d4, but since I started with 1 E4, it's sooo much to learn. Now I play like mame or Richie. 1.E4E5 2. NC3 Nf6 3. d4 exd4 4.Qxd4 Nc6 5.Qd3 with f3, g4 and Longcastle to follow. and if 2...Nc6 i go for 3. g3 fianchetto Nge2 preparing f4, short castle, h3 to prevent Bg4, most times d3,kh2 and f4. Both lines are not very theoretical and offer great attacking chances without even sacrificing a pawn.
