My son is unbeaten out of all middle schools in Roswell, thanks for teaching my son.
That is fantastic. Tell him to keep it up.
Great!
Good stuff!
He's probably cheating lol
@@doge_the_cat no...
Haven't seen this before but it looks really fun. Whenever I reach the Italian game as black though I'm always hoping for the traxler
traxler is gold
Lol when I reach Italian game as black I just resign
me too!
I see before
I do like the Traxler. If I knew my opponents would play d3 I would play more Bc5 for the Lucchini Gambit.
One of the rarest channels which incredibly explain chess without showing off, Thanks Man
Yes, pretty interesting. Never seen a gambit like this before. Looking forward to see some more variations in gambits.
Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@chesswebsite I have a major question : what does black respond if 4. d3 f5 5. xf5 ? It's frustrating because idk the right answer
@@shadowdepths2486 That would be the accepted variation. Here is the video: czcams.com/video/T8EMKkDUa5E/video.html
this is an awesome gambit.. im learning everyday.. thank you for showing this amazing lines/variations against e4..
Wow. That's a great gambit. A lot to it. Never seen this one before.
Crazy gambit everyone keeps falling for . Thanks man .
Wow the attacking options are so many and devastating. Never imagine this before. Great tutorial.
I approve of this gambit. Thanks for the great explanation!
Glad you liked it!
I'm pretty sure there was a nasty engine line in either this gambit or in the 3... f5 Ruy Lopez, the line had you sacrifice a load of material, even the queen just for initiative only to bring it back a move later.
It was in the lucchini gambit, Eric Rosen has a video and study on it
Looks evilous. I can't believe... All of that counterplay just came out of thin air.
This gambit is a frag grenade. Excellent explanation. Thank you.
Thank you very much!! Only other person I've seen with the Lucchini Gambit is Maurice Bishop... I think it's a Great but Rarely found gambit!
Thank you!
"We're not gonna fall for that, 'cause we're MASTERS of the Lucchini Gambit." :D Another great video!
Perfect timing! Cause today, soon I will have a competition.. School vs school.. Thank you so much😉😊
Have to let us know how it goes!
Good luck!!
how u gonna memorise this , in a day?
Sorry for replying it late... And it went well!. Even though I got top 15 among the 50+ people, I still won the certificate. They will give to players that got top 20. Thanks for all ur support. You are all a very kindhearted people😊❤. Wish u guys the best in life💞
I love this. I just enjoy watching all the traps.
A great clip. Thanks.
Ahh a perfect aggressive gambit for meh ^^ thnx for ur effort
Glad you like it!
13:45 you can actually play queen to f7 here and still force a queen trade, but it's still going to cost you a knight though ;)
Hi, can you please analysis the line Qh5 @1:56.
@@nonhlanhlangwenya5083 after 5...f5 6. Qh5+ forces ...g6, now one option to consider is 7. Bf7+ Kf8 8. Bxg6 hxg6 and while 9. Qxg6 maybe looks threatening, black can defend with Qe7 or even Qf6 white only has two attacking pieces its not enough to do anything u are down bishop for two pawns and black is ahead in development. alternatively 9. Qxh8 Qxg5 or a slightly better version is 9. Ne6+ dxe6 10. Qxh8, material wise white has a rook and pawn for the two pieces which isnt too bad however white has traded active pieces for passive pieces, the white queen on a8 isnt rly doing/threatening anything and is actually a bit awkward there, black has actively placed pieces and white is not prepared to defend with its undeveloped bishop knight rooks.
if white doesnt play 7. Bf7+ then it has to move the queen (which is attacked by the g6 pawn), and going to any square other than h4 will quickly lose the knight on g4 [if Qg5 then ...d5, after white either moves the queen or plays Ne6 then black captures the bishop ...dxc4]. so 7. Qh4, then black has a very complicated line ...Be7 8. Bxf4 which i am struggling to follow but the computer gives it as pretty favorable to black, or just 7...h6 8. Bxg8 Rxg8 9. Qxh6 Bf8 10 Qh4 Qf6 threatening 11... Rh8 which will remove white's queen from defending the knight and the only way to avoid this is 11. Nf3 offering a trade of queens. black ofc doesnt have to accept but either way black is again way more active and much better position, and the pawn on f4 is continuing to keep white from developing effectively. (computer suggests that white give up the knight for the e and f pawns at least in some lines.) again black is generally just better
This gambit is totally sick! Thanks for posting, totally rad!🤣
Glad you liked it. It's definitely a good one.
This is so fun… I never seen this one.. good work 👍👍👍👍
Greaaaaat fun, this Gambit ! I'll try it asap. Thanks 👍
Let me know how it goes.
Excellent video. Great pace, great easy to understand explanation of each line, etc. Thank you.
Appreciate the kind words, Nathan. Glad the video style works for you.
OMG! Finally. Someone who knows what he's doing. I'm on level 10 with my chess app and CPU is kicking my butt. I'll come back and post if I beat it. You're awesome. Thanks.
this was amazing!
thank you for all you are doing for the chess community!
if white plays c3 after the Giuoco Piano (classical variation) (instead of d3)
and black responds with f5, I believe this is called the Alexandre gambit?
can you please consider doing a similar vid on the Alexandre gambit?
thank you again!
Yes I can. It seems like people like the Lucchini so the Alexandre gambit would be a great follow up video.
Richard, thank you,i I remember this lesson-or demo- a long time ago. Welcome back!
Awesome game, thank you!
Very beautiful traps..excellent video
thank u kevin i found this video very helpful. ur videos are always helpful
Glad you enjoyed it, Aarav.
I’ve seen this opening from white many times and I’ve been struggling in replying properly. I’m going to try it out. Thank you for the lesson.
I have viewed a number of videos, this one makes the top five. You have hit it out of the park. Thank you for all your hard work and clear dialogue with regarding the flow and the options in a concise manor. Fantastic. You are the b&^%
Wow, thank you!
why would you censor "bush"
I love the small pauses when you are naming the square
Very marvelous! Got to learn this trap wholeheartedly!
Glad you liked it, John.
Hey Kevin , this lucchini gambit is the bomb . I shall ad it to my repertoire--thanks my friend
Woohoo. More Lucchini fans. So much fun.
Good stuff Kevin 👍🏻
Thanks Josiah.
Thanks man, best tactics I've seen in a while.
Love to hear it.
W. Lilling---Very lucid presentation !
For sure im gonna try this, this looks crazy like vienna gambit. I like that
As someone who regularly plays the fried liver... this scared me. Great vid!
I got trapped once its not pleasant
Thanks Kevin. Another great opening video. At 8:01 inserting ...Bf4 is even better than the immediate g1=Q. You can then promote your 2nd queen for free.
Good stuff thx!
Nice
Thanks
New knowledge
For those, who wonder, when white messed up, ending in all those lines: Ng5 is bad (but still +0.5). Bg5 is also not the best move. If white plays the simple Nc3 in move 5, engine gives it +1.83 at depth 40-ish. 5. o-o is a close second best move.
How does a bad move increase one's odds of winning?
I would think any move that made me more likely to win was at least a good move.
Great and informative
I love this Gambit
It's sooo good.
Awesome!
Very good!
Brutal!
Thank you for this video.
My pleasure!
It is very interesting. It is first time in my live to see this video.
Thanks.
It's a fun one.
For those wondering about exf5 black's position is pretty solid after d5 Bb5 Ne7, then Bg5 is a likely response at which point you can just castle kingside
yeah. ,, i was like ...at my level the opponent is just gonna take the free pawn and be happy
Great video
Excellent, worked on a 1100 rated. Most people know the traxler. But they never expect the Lucchini inquisition!
HAHAHAHAHA! now sit in the comfy chair! (BTW... that's Terry Gilliam's favorite sketch I believe)
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Bro I watch One of your video when I was a kid and Now you're still keep going🤩🤩🤩
Very nice video.
Thank you
You're welcome
Beautiful options ...
The lack of this video: that was not said anything about the possibility to take f5 pawn by the e4 pawn of the white and by my opinion that is the best way for white to go.
Wow... Eager to try this one out and check... Very well explained... Guess a follow up video with more variations would be super helpful.... Liked and subscribed right away.... Cheers mate... Great job.... Hope at 1300s or 1400s this would help me gobble up some ratings.. :)
Very good game to adopt
Nice video mahn😍
Thank you so much
Nice 👍
Thanks, it was very fun to see all these variations.
Just one more question came up to my mind. What would happen if they just play pon e4xf5?
Pls reply to this OP, this is common in 1k
D5 probably
Very interesting
Long time since I've seen one of ur vids 👍
I actuallty love playing chess!
I Tried it in a real game and it turns out it actually worked thanks for the video!
That was great
Thanks Brian.
Nice video Kevin! Actually Italian is quite commonly played, and so this Lucchini Gambit, a cousin of Traxler and Stafford is cool! Makes playing black even more fun! 👍
Oh yeah the Italian is commonly played. The d3 variation isn't as popular but still does occur from time to time.
I feel like the only two Italians that are played commonly are giuoco pianissimo with c3 before d3, knight attack and three knights. Cool gambit, but i will definitely forget everything about it by the time I see a d3 Italian
Ever since Eric Rosen's video, I've been dying to play the Lucchini gambit. Problem is no one plays the Pianissimo Italian anymore.
I tried this immediately after and it went just like the first example
Good video, good understandable English.
Instant subscriber of yours. Like the video as well. Too bad I can't like it more than once.
I typically don't play 3...Bc5 as Black, preferring the Two Knights Defense; but, after seeing this video, I might give the Lucchini Gambit a try. It looks very interesting. I've never seen it before. And, I'm guessing, if I've never seen it, there are probably a lot of other players who have not seen it. It could be a great surprise weapon. The only problem is that it requires White to play 4.d3 which, I think, is a fairly rare move as most Italian players seem to prefer 4.c3.
Yeah it does require d3 but I'm going to make a video on how to attack if they play c3 and we play f5.
Very good trap.
My challenge is remembering all these openings
So true, Kayode.
There is a tool that uses the flashcard method to teach you openings
You'll get them carved in your head in no time
Rather than memorizing specific moves, it’s better to memorize the main ideas and focuses of attack at each of the main opponent responses
@@dark6.6E-34 what is the tool. I have a heard time remembering openings
@@humblest23 chess tempo
I think you did not address on what if white captures f3 pawn which I believe could be a very common move, right?
Nice gambit, thanks a lot. At 8:01 I would prefer Bf4 over the promoting pawn at g1, since it forces a cheaper exchange against whites’ queen.
woah i didnt know u still uploaded kevin i used to watch your vids when i was 14 im 25 now
that's awesome. you've been with me since the beginning.
11:34 After Qg5, white can respond with g4. The queen defends this pawn and capturing en passant in either direction will either lose the queen or the rook. Not sure how you prevent f3 and the locking up of the king side. I don't think that passed h pawn will be enough for black.
why not still d6 preparing for Bg4?
Title: Every move is a trap:
Me: Freezes
Your voice just never change
Nice way to spice up the Italian opening
🔥🔥🔥🔥
You know.
Yeees excelente
Thanks Matic.
Nice video
Thanks :) Cheers
I keep running into white pawn takes F5 right at the start -- one variation you didn't cover.
Probably d4 and you now kick away the bishop and control tge center
D5
@@ephraimgewurtz9798 The best move is d5
@@ephraimgewurtz9798 Just realised you meant d5
@@aliasofanalias7448 oh my bad d5 isaid d4 cause im used to playing as white
My favorite gambit! I’ve known this one for a while, but I never play it anymore because I prefer the French defense. Still holds a special place in my heart though.
I love that it's your favorite gambit. It's such a hidden gem. I wish I knew about it a long time ago.
Very good video im definetly gonna use this but what if white takes the pawn that we gambited?
I plan on doing another video on the accepted line.
Very nice and educational. Can you please tell me what I do if they directly take my f5 pawn I gambited? I don't think you covered that and I think it's quite likely someone will see that as a free pawn.
please do a tutorial on how to win against the scholars mate opening I am able to defend against it, but then the queen is attacking everything and it gets really annoying
Defend from it with kings pawn then attack queen with knights
Great stuff, traxler or luccini will masacre white, they are similar as well...
Exactly.
Obviously at 14:51 after ...qe7 Bf7+ is possible. Similar to the Traxler variation if white plays Nf7 white loses but Bf7 is good for white
I LOVE THIS GAMBIT BUT ITS SO HARD TO GET ON THE BOARD
Very nice video! One question: At minute 13:28, why can't the white knight capture the pawn on h7? If black captures the queen with the pawn on h5, then white knight can capture back the black queen and fork rook and king. It seems better for white to me... what did I miss?
For 13:45, Qf7+ forces a queen trade and they're down a knight (for the pawn they captured earlier) which should be a bit better than a queen for a rook.
Hey Kevin! Could you do a video on the Lucchini Accepted Line?
yes. are you thinking exf5?
@@chesswebsite yes
Unfortuantely d3 is not common enough to be able to play this often but still fun when it crops up
Kevin...you are doing Odin's work. There will be a special throne for you in Valhalla
