🔹 Chess Opening: Englund Gambit 1.d4 e5 | Traps and Ideas - • Chess Opening: Englund...
In this video lesson, we will explore an aggressive chess opening for Black against the White's first move 1.d4. If you are playing 1.d4 yourself as White or if you are looking for an aggressive way to counter 1.d4 as Black, then you are going to love this!
GM Igor Smirnov shares with you the Englund Gambit, which happens after the first moves 1.d4 e5. Black's idea is to avoid the traditional closed queen's pawn games and create an open game with tactical chances, but at the cost of a pawn.
This will be a surprise for your opponents who play 1.d4 looking for a more positional game with strategic ideas. In this video lesson, you will learn the Blackburne-Hartlaub Gambit, which happens after 2.dxe5 d6, aiming for quick development after 3.exd6 Bxd6.

In the final example you didn't cover what happens when white just takes pawn d6xc7 & now you can't queen side castle or stop the pawn. If you move your rook the castle is done. If you castle the rook is gone & you have to take the queen with your king. It's absolutely devastating.

Hello there! I looked in the comment section to see if this comment was already written, but it doesn't seems like it. So, at 6:43, you are saying it is impossible to stop black attack, but i have to say you are wrong, because after white plays Bg2, if pawns capture then pawn f3 threatning the queen. Whatever blacks play from now on, it winning for white! Appart from that, i really appreciate de whay you talk and everything you have to show, it can really be effective against small ranked people.

With the position at 4:16 if I was in a game I'd be tempted to do this. 1. N f6₁ But knowing that this is more of a puzzle, it's clear there is a more aggressive option available. After thinking for a few minutes I saw this. 1. Bxf3₂ 2. Bxf3₃, Q h4₄ 3. h3, B h2 +₅ 4. Kxh2₆, R x d1₇ 5. R x d1₈, Q x f2. That's as far as I got. I can't predict White's next move or see a way for Black to continue attacking after that so assuming White doesn't threaten the Queen I'd go back to the idea of N f6 I mentioned at the start of this comment. Footnotes (Thank you Unicode, it neatened up my comment a lot) ₁ Solid developing move, getting the Kingside Knight into the game and connecting the Rooks, completing the main opening goals. ₂ Getting rid of the White Knight and leaving the h2 square a bit vulnerable. ₃ White wouldn't want to lose their Knight for nothing and thus would want to recapture. ₄ Threatening Qxh2# on the next move. (It's rare that I spot checkmating threats - I tend to overlook them and get surprised if they're pointed out to me later - so I'm happy I managed to see this one - The complex position in the kzfaq.infoLEMz6BXhG80 video still annoys me a month after I came across it as I analysed all 7 checks I could see and none of those were checkmate.) ₅ Checking the King and opening up a discovered attack on the Queen. ₆ K h1 is also possible but seems worse intuitively. (Note, I've never gone this deep into footnotes in a KZfaq comment before) ₇ Winning the Queen! ₈ White salvages the situation by capturing the Rook and putting his own in a position to dominate the d-file.

The problem with this is if white takes the bishop with the knight, it reveals an attack on your other bishop. If you then take the queen, he can take the second bishop with check (Bxg4+), take your rook aswell and you're actually down material. If you first play Bxf3 and he takes back.. then you can do the reveal attack on the queen and it works out better.

Interesting but I doubt this gambit is sound, after d4, e5, dxe5 d6, Nf3 Nc6 white can play Bg5 and I don't see any compensation for black for the missing pawn. instead of 3. Nc6 black might consider Bg4 so after Bg5 a reasonable move is Qd7 but I still doubt black has enough for the pawn, white could consider playing g3 and bg2 later and his king looks safe.

It's true that this gambit is not completely sound and will probably not work against an expert-level opponent. However, in blitz games, gambits are often effective.
@FredPlanatia Жыл бұрын
Hi Igor, its an interesting variation. since the Englund gambit is rare I imagine lower rated players will not know how to punish it, and black will get an active game with d4 players on the backfoot. However, more advanced players will still come out of the opening with an advantage and if they maintain it they'll be better in the endgame. After black's light square bishop goes to g4, its best for white to play h3. But even if white follows your moves they still are better, until they castle kingside. That's a mistake since they castle directly into black's attack. Its better to keep the king in the center and play h3 instead. If black exchanges the bishop, then white can play Qe2 preparing to castle queenside, thus avoiding black's kingside attack. p.s. very glad you got your channel back. You're a very clear teacher where i always get some new ideas and encouragement. I subscribed.

I've played through it a few times and the gambit to trap the queen may still be possible, depending on how scared your opponent is of Qe6, which is not much because if Qxd6, Qxd6. It becomes more likely that the knights ping-pong your queen around and it ends in a queen trade. Pretty much everything on the board is set to nuke everything else at the drop of a hat lol.

Nc3 .. as after this if black continues ..Nc6, white has this annoying refutation 5. Nb5! It will either force exchanging the strong dark squared bishop and a weak isolated pawn on d6 .. completely refuting plans of castling queen side and attacking whites king side. Cheers, AJ
@sirwilfried 2 жыл бұрын
First of all, every gambit has its "weaknesses!" otherwise we would all just play without :-) And now let me advise you the following: if White plays Nc3 "early" then our goal should be to achieve a "move changeover"! Look again at the position after White castled ( 4:10 ) and now you just pick a move other than Nc6 in response to Nc3! I suggest Qe7, which is also possible in "our" castling position! If Nb5 comes after all, then you have a few options, e.g. Bc5 or Be5, just "analyze"! Or just take other ways to play, the important thing is that we want to try to achieve the train changeover! :-) Maybe there are other possibilities, that's exactly what's so great about chess!

what do you do against Bg5 instead of Bf4???
@Naborbukv2 Жыл бұрын
What if an opponent plays pawn to h3 early before you managed to move bishop to g4?
@albinocat 6 ай бұрын
Solution for 4:19, bXa2+, knight takes and then you nab their queen with the discovered attack RXd1.

I think that after: 1. d4 2. e5 3. dxe5 4. d6 5. nf3 6. nc6 7. bg5 I don't think there's any way for black to end up with compensation or a lead in development. Best options I can see are either qd7 which blocks in your bishop and loses a tempo, or be7 - which after exchanges you're just down a pawn with a worse position. I'd love to hear a way to refute 7. bg5 though! I like the idea of this opening. Thanks for the video!

Yes I agree,it just refutes it totally, black has no compensation for the pawn whatsoever,that's pretty much a forced line to, also Ne4 instead of e3, either gets rid of blacks BSB or exchanges Queens and advantage to white.

Yes, same question/ problem. Bg5 is a logical move, at least let's see this line in the video !

After I moved bishop to g4, white (one of the more advanced Stockfish Fairy programs) moved knight to b5 attacking my dark square bishop, and I did not know how rot deal with it. White then proceeded to launch a vicious attack which unfortunately led to my demise.

1. D4, e5 2. Dxe5, D6 3. Nf3, Nc6 4. Bg5!... Bg5 seems to shut down any hopes of black counter attacking. Can you offer any comment on this, GM Smirnov?

Thank you! Youre very instructive.

6:50 White could move Qe2, so that if black moves hxg3 then white can take back with fxg3 and black taking Qxg3 is met with Qg2 interposing.Although Rxh3 instead of Qxg3 probably wins by force

This is the Englund variation known as the Harltaub-Charlick gambit. Definitely more interesting the usual gambit, spasibo Igor'!

Dear Igor, thank you very much for your great videos. I was wondering what happens if white plays H3 early to chase away black's bishop?
@Str3ker03 Жыл бұрын
Yeah I think 6. h3 is not that uncommon or hard to find and objectively ist +1.2 and the plans of this Video dont really work fhen

THANK YOU! Playing black against computer, I have not been able to crack 50% winning percentage, yet on level 5. I played levels 1-4 until I won well more than 50% overall, eventually, winning 9 out of ten games on level 4...I once beat white on level 9, and, actually got a stalemate on level 10! BUT, I have strained to break 50% on level 5...it has been FRUSTRATING! But, this one lesson has showed me much about pawn sacrifice and gambit, and, it is WORKING for me!!!!!!! 1,000 THANK YOUS!

One question, if 1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 d6 3. exd6 Bxd6 and now 4.Nc3 to attack the bishop with Nb5 or Ne4 , that plan is over , and then what do we play ? Whites with 4.Nc3 no problems, thanks for your videos.
