Hi there.
In this next, we're going to have a look at the so-called Ratti gambit.
If all your opponent plays the French defense, you might want an interesting gambit here.
Be Free is an interesting gambit.
So after D5 Bishop BE2, you're just letting your ebong go.
Now, here's an example.
Game time and again, actually against my head.
Dennis played in 2010, so details for why White is a very, very strong player above twenty five hundred
and outrated the opponents quite a lot actually.
So this is a bit of an unfair match.
But I just want to show you how we can play it in a very, very XPO way in particular.
So Queene to seven point consoles greenside.
So quite often these games with opposite side castling or a huge amount of fun and entertainment and
here White now plays G4.
We have C five G5.
So very, very aggressive play from white gaining space while technically doing very well at this point,
96 was played if 98 Sivewright, Bishopsgate, Seefried.
This is fine points, this kind of thing.
It's fine once getting a nice advantage.
So Ninety-Six was played white against the pawn back at five and now White gets a semi open fall.
That foul is maintained with 96.
So this is like a nice road attacking roads to opponents.
King And note also that Bishop Weifang cathodes can play a nice role here.
So this game shows why building up very logically on that Gevo 98 is played.
And now a nice tactical move to celebrate this focal points.
The bishop is x raying G7.
Can you guess why it plays here?
Test your tactics if I give you five cents for the video.
OK, ninety five spring open that pressure on G seven of Eating's Queen 67, check a wonderful queen
SAC and Boynton's getting the queen back with interest after Rook takes his check.
So nice little combination here.
Taking the queen route takes while still doing very, very well in this situation of the route.
Takes effort to Bishopsgate C6 BTEX Brooks.
Thanks.
We have Rook at five trying to cling on to this pawn which holds up the four.
But now Rook Jiwon and the game actually ended here.
This is a very bad state of affairs for black cutting the king here on GFR.
We see that this bishop is still a menace here.
If Bishop D7 can you see what white plays?
If I give you five seconds pause video, which will be absolutely crushing.
OK, Bruzzese five, yeah, this opens up that bishop on the diagonal and it will be like leading to
checkmate as an example.
So I've given you just one game sample.
You've got to use your research methods hat and try and minimize bias, maybe try and find other examples
to get a better representation of the resources of both sides.
But the stronger you are tactically, this does seem like an interesting opening, fundamentally, at
least to me.
And I have used that myself in over the board chance with some success.
So I first saw it in a club match.
Someone else is playing.
I adopted it and I even the YouTube video years ago about it, the Reti gambit, which you might also
want to check out for free.
So it's even been used in correspondence chess.
Alan Bowell, one of the founders of the International Correspondent Chess Federation, has played this
both in his over the board chess and even his correspondence chess.
So it has got a certain amount of soundness when you see a gambit used successfully in correspondence,
chess in particular, that is also a Henze that even if that vast time control it's being used, there's
something going for it.
Fundamentally, it has some fundamental qualities.
Sometimes you can't be blinded by the, you know, statistics you get out of online databases.
But there is something going for this as a surprise weapon as well.
And when you play normal players on normal time controls, especially the first time controls, this
is going to be a very, very interesting system to surprise opponents with if you have this sort of
thing.
But there are other responses from black to check out.
This is just a very, very introductory game, just selling it on the upside of it, really in a biased
way.
But just be aware this is a potential weapon of choice if you're looking for an interesting weapon of
choice against the French defense.
The Ratti gambit, very, very interesting.
It does have some fundamentals, I would say, of interest, some underlying internal quality.
It's not just the external quality of a few wins.
There is something going for it fundamentally.
OK, there's a much.
