how do you avoid the king’s gambit(declined)
I will make a video on playing the KGD for black in the near future.
i have found myself in this position a few times but i don’t like it, when i find myself here it means i didn’t attack and i’m getting into an open game but not a wild attacking one.
Nice video, thanks. I use this move a lot. Keep uploading more chess videos.
L-
Glad to hear you are enjoying them. Keep an eye out for more in the near future.
Perhaps you can help. Frequently during online play, my opponents often respond after the position at 0:45 with Bishop to E7 creating a double attack on the H4 square? Is there a possible move that can respond to this?
yeah, unfortunately there’s not super move away from this. I would say, though just develop your bishop to c4, a great square for it. Then when Bh4, just move Kf1. Lots of powerful GM’s start with Bc4 even before Nf3, allowing black if they wanted to come in and force king to move. White still has a really good game in this spot as they have great development in center and lots of attacking ideas. It’s going to be a bloodbath, though.
what if black sends there bishop to g4 pinning the knight to thequeen… n e good counters?
I would say not to even worry about it. Your knight usually doesn’t move from f3 for awhile so let him pin you down. Develop as normal. Sometimes even, you can take f7 with your bishp and then when he retakes with his king you can check with your knight, allowing the queen to now attack that bishop on g4, but the situation has to be right.
At 4:31, wouldn’t it be good to protect the e4 pawn? ‘Cos if black captures the knight then we’ll be in check, we have to recapture and then black can just capture the e4 pawn. xD Good video, it’s my favorite opening. Keep up the good work.
Keep in mind though if he were to take on e4 then we could just take his knight on c6 and we would be up in material since instead of protecting the e4 pawn we moved d5. Hope this helps. Glad you are enjoying the vids. I love the Kings’ Gambit myself.
Oh, right, I wrote before the continuation xP… Thanks
I abselutely love this opening! You explained it perfectly, so thanks so much! I’m planning on using this in my state finals today, i’ll post again when i come back.
Keep up the great work!
glad you enjoy it. It’s my fav opening as well and try to play it as often as possible. It’s what chess was meant to be I think.
yea i enjoy it i win more games with it then my english opening
Hey, after 3..d6, when I play 4.Nc3 I am getting 4..h6 played on me with hopes of eventually playing 5..g5
What can I do in this position?
Black can get good game here e4 e5 f3 qf6
simple way puch presure on the pawn. and get a good game.
what if they deny the kings gambit
:p for me if i see a e4 opening from white im just gunno go sicilian on him
If someone offers the f2 f4 sacrifice just play d7 d5
then if they take your pawn on d5 you respond with e5 e4 and if they play taking your pawn on e5 you can attack with several attacks with your queen
thanks for the video you have posted, i am watching all of the vids. hopefully it will improve my skill.. thnks a lot sir..
Honestly not too helpful
What if black plays bishop to e7 after knight to f3? this puts a lot of pressure on the h4 square.
4:03 what about knight h4
Would it be possible to make a midgame and endgame basic ideas video on the kings gambit ? I mean opening theory is easy to find but basic ideas like this square is strong + some ideas to attack it and this square is weak are rly hard to find in comparison
