Incomplete video... should also have a line about Bxd4

[shanelawson]

I think it's called the Lewis Gambit... I've used it for years.
Black, even without knowing this trap, often plays Bxd4 instead.

going video in portrait mode is already a trap

[elyarerkivan]

You are amazing as always. I wonder if everthing ok with you there? 🥺

[Harsh-ybpz]

The most common opening and you r saying unfamiliar opponent 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[ga]

Nice, but what about 3 ... Bxd4? Thanks

[theNYJarethebest]

this only works if the pond takes and then it’s still a playable game, even if the bishop takes

[fezan]

But he simply can capture with the bishop instead

No double attack? queen take the knight

[AmonsRealm]

Couldn’t the queen just take the knight

[greatwolf.]

Can you please just stick to normal video format? really dislike this portrait format.

[thelosts]

Literally noone will take with the pawn !??

These crazy youtube clips don't happen in real life. If you look into chess you'll realize that advancing in the intermediate stage is just memorizing the catalog openings and defenses that have already been figured out. And that process is boring af
