Hi there.
In this election, I'm going to introduce you to the so-called King's Gambit, so 845.
Now, this is a real Guimet.
Unlike the Queen's Gambit, Black can actually take the form and try and cling onto it, and some time
is actually better.
So it's a real game and it's not used that much by modern grandmasters, except maybe for the time patrol's
usually as a surprise weapon.
So it's a kind of opening from the romantic era of chess.
This was an era and the eighteen hundreds up until about 1880.
The romantic era saw openings like this, which had absolutely brilliant sacrifices often for chasing
the king around the boards, sacrificing material for leads and development, peace coordination, brutal
attacks, basically, and games of this era.
You know, if you look at games of Poor Morphin in advance and many of them are so-called evergreen
or immortal, they're talked about to this day, there are many players collections.
You can have absolutely wonderful games from this King's gambit.
And as a club weapon, you know, nowadays it's pretty good, online it's pretty good.
Eleven Iranian jokes, though, the only problem of it is that there's so many things black can do against
that to start off with.
That's that's why.
And it is it is risky.
It's not like one of the most solid positional openings.
You aren't taking a risk and you are potentially compromising your position depending on what the opponent
does.
So it's a little bit.
Unsound, but it's one of those classic gambits that I would recommend you try out in a lot of games,
but when you try out the Kings game it, you should have a lot of Morphy games in the back of your mind
that you've understood Morphy and Anderson, the great romance era players.
So adult fans are not all fans and by the way.
OK, so the Kings game, for if they accept it, it's called funny enough, the Kings can accept it.
So and if we now play night free, then this is the Kings Knights gambit.
This actually stops playing from playing queen a chag.
Now, it's not entirely fatal, by the way, even if you didn't play nice Afri, there is the bishop's
gambit with Bishop CIFOR, which encourages Quiñones for and you can get very, very exciting games
there.
But my Afri is the most common move.
Generally, if we're playing, the Kings can make a play, not free.
And here's the classical VeraSun G5.
So that really is kind of reinforcing that point in advance.
One of the key points.
Well, positionally of the Kings game it is.
Imagine, you know, black just let you get the form back.
Let's just imagine a fictional scenario.
You've got a great SA semi open EFO here for me.
Some you have an Eiffel's or Sameem Falls rather than like one way roads where your car's going to deponent,
but there's no cars returning that ideal.
Your you're sort of having the advantage of our downside here.
There's a semi fall this F.R. which later when you cancel your rook is also conveniently kind of on,
you know, when you cancel, it's by default going to be an active rook.
So this is something to kind of relish because you don't even need to move the rock after just by default.
The work's been lazy kind of thing, but you've just got a fantastic, you know, dynamic potential
here on this exfoliator, which you can do a lot of damage with quite often.
So it was airfoils, those semi open files or and falls generally.
They're really kind of exciting of aim for them.
The force of the time control look out for semi open fouls.
So there where you have a poor missing and if it doesn't, so the Kings game, it gets quite a vicious
semi open effort in quite a lot of variations.
When the opponents especially don't know what they're doing, it can lead to absolute tactical disasters.
So anyway, so no, a G5 is the classical variation.
Let's go back let's go back to that so it 93 GFI with the classical version and here we can play the
Kaiser ASCII gambit 84 we can play Bishop CIFOR can lead to very, very violent games.
This G4, we just ignore this, believe it or not, because what's happened here, Black's pawns are
kind of fragmented once got good, Central Control once got good developments.
There's a lot of spicy, interesting things that are being traded off the lines.
So chess is a lot about trade offs, careful trade offs between material and, you know, other things
like the opponents can say to your lead environment how active your pieces are.
You know, the opponent's pieces are still asleep here.
The fragmentation issues as well leads to potential King safety issues, the Kingston in the sense of
being an obvious king safety issue in its own right, though.
So even this can be very, very dangerous, the force of the time control.
So just even the Muzio gambit, Bishop CIFOR G4, you can even leave them right there.
Biscet CIFOR so late.
Every G5 is the classic and then we have.
So each for Bishop CIFOR as Bishop CIFOR, Bishop, G-7, herrnstein gamete, and we go back night every
night, Seefried, the quiet combat.
So not every five days for the Rosenstrasse.
Again, it's a lot of these have names quite often not every eighty-six the back of the fence that's
not named after Boris Becker.
So often every black plain h sex here immediately.
So not playing GFI.
Just think Eighty-six here.
There's 97 on Murphree, which is the bunch of Smolensky, the fence, the Cunningham, the fence.
That's not Richard Cunningham from Happy Days.
Nope.
I'm afraid 93, 96.
The shot up the fence there is a Pleiku Shalab the more than the fence.
So that was clearly introduced later.
But you know, this is a good counter action in the center in general as part of kind of wider strategy
on the chessboard flank attacks, the classic way to handle flank to the center.
So this is a classic way, in a way principled to try and counterattack in the center.
So that's quite often a useful thing to do about Desex is like the fisher, the fence.
So he came up Bobby Fisher came up with this idea of kind of trying to refute the king's gambit by first
playing this move desex, then G five later.
It doesn't quite refute it, though, really overall.
So Knight C6, the McCleod, the fence after the referee H5.
Finally, we're getting really weird and wacky Weygand Bash defense.
So we have also the bishops camis.
We don't even play nice if we play Bishop CIFOR.
So yeah, a big list if you want to like digest those names, but you don't have to.
It's just maybe fun being aware of some of the names by the bishops.
Kambah is a key once the alternative to Murphree and the Judit Pope.
You know, Judit, Pogo's of this world, they've played this bishops gambit, which is kind of rarer,
but with great success and other dynamic, aggressive players.
I've used this bishops Guimet.
So there isn't just a free you don't have to parry Quiñones.
For one thing, I would like to tell you, it's about not play, what not to play.
If your opponents play accounts gometz immediately like the five.
One thing you mustn't play is offtakes five.
If you play this, not only you've invited Cranage 48, but you've also weakened your Eappen.
And this is kind of devastating Quiñones for Czech.
This is absolutely it's going to be devastating.
I mean, what what do you actually play here?
If Jeoffrey Queen takes effort check and you kind of lost your rook, so yeah, this is not what you
play.
You don't play offtakes e5.
And the same with if if they play Bishop C5, the classical defense, you don't play this because Queenie's
for Czech, it's devastating and you don't really want to play this queen takes a fall.
Ouch.
You just been checkmated.
So if you're going to play the Kings, go beware the safety aspects about Quidditch for which you can
actually exacerbate.
So of the stakes you can play here because you kind of vacating F1 Quizno's for here is not lethal because
you play Caernarfon, you can gain some tempo gains.
Sometimes it really does depend on the position, but you definitely don't want this situation where,
for example, Ninety-Six or D5 or Bishop C5 and you play this move.
Ouch.
Queenie's for Czech you can't you can't use AF1.
Where's the king going here.
And if you play Jeoffrey, you end up losing the rook king you two and your kings in big trouble.
See the trap section.
Yeah, you kings in huge trouble.
So you've got to be careful when you play the Kings gambit and any opening generally like the Dutch
defense, you might want to play the Dutch defense any time you touch the airport in general.
In fact, as whites, you're weakening this diagonal and this time or as black, you're weakening that
diagonal, which I literally called the double death and you know, this diagonal.
So you've got to be careful on the diagonals wherever your king is.
Those diagonals are the roads.
Your king, which the opponent, if they're very strong tactically, they're going to destroy you.
This is just a little reminder basically about weakening diagonals, joking how fatal it can be.
But in general, the the F for the Kings game, if you want to be inspired and really see the power
of this opening or suggest looking at some games of pool Morphy with the Kings gambit, it helps when
his opponents are kind of greedy and materialistic kind of bean counters, and they don't really factor
in the more invisible aspects of the chess.
You know, like King safety leads in development, not, you know, not just the material which comes
up, but what the material is doing for you, the the effectiveness of the material, you know, the
quality of the material.
You know how active your pieces are, how to control the safety aspects.
So the Kings game, it is a fantastic opening for you to try out Ashar.
I would recommend trying out various different gambits, having a huge fun with the chess openings.
In your initial stages of chess, we're talking, you know, just get to know the game.
That's the main game.
It's at least.
And effort is a gambit.
And the Kings game, you're celebrating the romantic era of chess.
When stylist's came along, the first Williamston, that's when the first world champion came along.
He himself, in his first part of his career was a hacker, like everyone else, going for the king
and playing these romantic games.
But then he introduced positional play and actually had started having great results against the old
romantic era players.
And the popularity of openings like this went down as a defensive technique went up.
So these romance era openings, yeah, they started people started the defensive measures.
Well, I don't like.
And what recommends you if you want to just counter gambit with like this, you know, defensive disaster
already, if they played esquenet for but also, you know, even if I say you kind of counter check
out games of Morphy, you know, you can get an accelerated development and this can be dangerous for
your opponent.
Like, where are they going to console?
Sometimes you're going to get sometimes a very, very quick crushing game.
It's it's very scary already.
You know what?
You got fast development your pieces out.
It's very scary on these diagonals.
So I'd recommend DFI finding out some key steam games with D5 this time.
Games will give you more reassurance and confidence that you can play this with some idea of what you're
doing with the follow up.
Everything's about follow up and yes, not just the move.
So what I'm saying Defonseca move.
Check out the follow ups, but they they naturally can lead to swapping a bit more material for lead
environments and exciting opportunities.
So D5 is a very, very powerful counter gambit.
OK, so on the one side, yeah, I would, I would try out the Kings gambit and research it from the
inside despite the five.
Yeah.
Find out about the five.
So efore Kingscote.
A lot of fun is to be had with the Kings game.
It don't just play stodge as a beginner, you don't want to just play this and then this and then have
endless games with Seefried.
No this game.
It's here before.
Yeah.
Which I've talked about or Sifry.
Don't play this endless stodge.
Please don't.
It'll put you off chess potentially.
And so you must the basic tactics there.
OK, fine.
Maybe.
But generally, you want to start playing exciting stuff, get a feel for the pieces, basically is
my message, get a feel for tactics in chess.
Check out my tactics.
Cause conflict tactics as well, OK?
By the Kings game, it fits in well, the Gambit repertoire in general, we're boosting all tactical
skills, OK, and so much.
