Each time they jump with their queen I sigh and my eyes roll.

[shadowLOL]

I actually play this Blackmar-diemar gambit!!! It's quite good, actually. And I play it everytime I play against scandi!!! :D

[stevemartinish]

This can also be played against 1. d4 d5 if you would like a "surprise weapon" against that opening also.

[SolomitGaming]

6:21 What if opponent move counter attack like pawn E5 rather then rook C8 and castle or bishop E7
Coz after E5 we have to take with pawn and then knight will on E5 attacking queen and bishop D2
And after that knight F6 take D4
With cover of queen and 2pawn
Then push via pawns from queen side

[notasmoker]

i like to play the tennison gambit cuz im lower elo and most people after taking the knight on f7 go back in lower elo and thats checkmate

[mathewsamuel]

Why do you not demonstrate your ideas by playing against real people? Chances are they'd come up with something that challenges what you show here, and then it'd be instructive to us learners how you play around those challenges.

[gorryman]

no decent player would give up the bishop pair right away this seems kinda trash video any decent player will just transpose to french or kan
