Hey guys, YangsterNo9 here, with a new video series on chess openings- this one is on the Scotch Gambit- popular in amateur levels because of the ability to have quick wins for white as well as a large advantage if not carefully defended by black. In the first vid we see the 4th black moves h6, Be7, Bb4 check- sidelines that white can combat with ease Enjoy, Part 2 will arrive shortly.
In a chess opening (I’m black), how can I keep the white knight on the G8 square from advancing to the E4 square without breaking my pawn chain by moving my F2 pawn to F3?
Also, are there any tricks or tatics to prevent the advancment of enemy knights without breaking my pawn chains?
In the Falkbeer Countergambit, black immediately challenges the center against the king’s gambit from white. The aggression is taken away from white and given to black. White must be very careful not to play anything incorrectly or black can take over the game very quickly. This is a great defense for anyone that sees the kings gambit often and wants to throw their opponent a loop. www.thechesswebsite.com Chess Software used in the video can be found at http and www.chessok.com
