what chess gui do you use?
Haha .. sounds like an idea for a themed chess-set, lol
Can we use those when we are black ?
Nice video! I posted another tactics vid today….thought u might be interested…
what types of opponents would you recomend it against?
I play it to prevent the petroff in a must win situation and to surprise lower ranked players in tournies.
chessbase… or it looks a lot like it.
at 7:29 can the pawn use En Passant to take the queen
what if black doesnt take the bait and moves Qp-d5, earlier on in the opening, attacking whites kp-e4..this disturbes whites tempo….
Lol no that’s only against other pawns
En Passant is only for a Pawn.. the reason it exists is because before it became popular, pawns were only allowed to move 1 space on the opening. To speed up the game they made the rule two spaces ahead.. Even though they moved two spaces, En Passant says they can take it because they used to be 1 space ahead.
I CAN NOT WATCH A WHOLE VID… PLZ LEARN TO NOT SAY UHHHHH EVER 2 WORDS!! PLZ love the game but this is hard to follow …..
wht if black responds D5? to E4 is this a diffrent opening. me and my friend oftern play E4 opening and he responds with D5 any advice? btw i oftern mis the obvious moves cz i tend to overthink my moves and plan strategies that are dashed with moves i havnt anticipated lol
@omgtonylex doesnt En passant only work with pawns? i dont knw but i thought it did but i hardly ever use that move…
been trying this, going well for me more wins then loses… this happend after e4-e5 f4-d5: exd5-Qxd5 Nc3-Qa5 Nf6-Bg4 Bb5+ – c6 Bc4-Nd7 (now the Fpawn falls before there is 0-0-0) Bc4xf7+ – KxBf7 Ng5+ – Ke8 QxBg4….

@keunes thanks i will try it out and hopefully win
Black just needs to play queen to h4 check and this shitty opening is completely stopped. The white king is forced to move up to e2. Why anyone would play this opening is beyond me.
@VitalSigns1 you could just move pawn to g3…..?
great introduction to kings gambit
great he cantcastle and he has no pawn structure thats soooooooooo worth that sacrifice
What if black would attack white´s queen by moving his H pawn to H5 instead of attacking the queen with the knight to F 6 ?
what if black would attack white´s queen with his H pawn to H 5 instead of the knight to F 6
Question: can U still play king’s gambit if black responds with the sicilian? e4 – c5?
@toronn You can but be cautious. If black defends correctly it will be a very tough game for you. If black tries to switch to his kingside and build up his defense he will be a move down and that’s plenty for you to run him off the board. I personally have played the king’s gambit many times against the sicilian and have either dominated my opponent or been dominated so use it at your own risk.
