A Completely Pointless Refutation of the Englund Gambit

What's the point of this odd variation? I mean... you could... but why?

In the video, Jonathan Schrantz explores the Englund Gambit and points out an interesting but not entirely necessary refutation of this popular gambit.

Any other openings you need a pointless line against?

Love the Nd5 move after they take the bishop, most of the time it just stuns the would-be englund gambiteer.

Dear Jonathan, you are an excellent Teacher and through your channel, you give us fans very good teachings, and I hope you will soon reach 100, 000 subscribers, I knew the counter gambit, but not as deep as you explain it. I am very happy to be able to enjoy your teachings, I live in Argentina, I am a doctor and I admire the strength and tenacity that you put into your teaching vocation.

While this may be completely pointless, it's super entertaining nonetheless! Thanks for the video!

2:20 imagine you blundering a piece then jonathan schrantz complimenting you

[maxhoekstra]

You have absolutely nailed it with this new style. Good job, it is what the chess side of youtube needed.

A Jonathan Schrantz video is never pointless :)

[musique-efrz]

Haha that's all fun and games but when will you make a video on the OMEGA GAMBIT d4 nf6 e4

[plywoodcarjohnson]

Thx man! The first guy to ever realize the use of computer evaluation to renew the oldest game in the world. He will go down in history!

[vasagamkm]

Always fun to watch and learn from your lines Jonathan! Greetings from India

I have found a very interesting gambit for you to check out it's in the Panov after dxc4 bxc4 nc6 nc3 offering up the d4 pawn but with engine approved compensation it becomes very sharp very quickly, good stuff

[Speedster___]

Can you put the letters and numbers on the screen?

[henrywilson]

love the hollow knight username at 7:49

Hey johnathan, did you stop streaming on twitch?

[monkeyisland]

This line actually is in a textbook, page 107 of Stefan Bücker' s book on the englund gambit

[ivankujundzic]

I was so confused. I just wake up and thought this was Vsauce

[lucasbortoluzzi]

nice to have something to play vs the englund as a london player

[aronhegedus]

Definitely not pointless, against lower rated players this is a tricky opening and they rarely play best moves

[yumitho]

As i told u before you are most usefull chess channel on youtube with no doubt

[cvnpoka]

Im pretty stupid and cant remember the 8 moves of theory for the standard Englund refutation. So I just play this one now and no one else knows it so now I win.
