Step 1: Play the Wing Gambit
Step 2: Your opponent has no idea what they are doing and takes you out of your preparation
Step 3: You get confused
Step 4: Just wing it

[liamjohansson]

my version of this is the WIN gambit- where you gambit the win for nothing.

[hussain]

The thing is that my opponents are so bad that they don't play any of the moves that you say they will do.

[xgrghn]

I was about to google "what to play against the French ?"

[edmondutzu]

This guy is more on my recommended than the random 2007 videos

[henriklai]

This gives "winging it" in a chess game a whole different meaning

[karii]

I guess I'll see this in my sicillian games now.

[nopescammers]

My god levy, watch your first videos, it is fascinating how much you've evolved into the world of YouTube, you used to be very formal and cautious about every word (not saying it is a bad thing) but now everyone can see the flavour and passion in which you really are, we can see your love for chess and you have helped so many, including me now 1600+. I just want you to know you have the entire chess community right behind you, supporting you every day. Thanks for the uploads!

The Theory vs the Sicillian Defense starts at 5:33

Another amazing video as always from the prolific Levy Rozman.

The ONLY gripe I have with this video is that at 11:40 or so, Levy states that the Black Queen is trapped, and even shows that Qc4 would blunder a Royal Fork.

But... Qb2 is a move. And is the ONLY Queen move that keeps the Queen safe, from what I can tell.

[hazelshadow]

A friend of mine who’s been playing a lot longer called today to teach me about some openings and I thought I didn’t really know anything but I’d retained way more of the Ruy Lopez from your videos than I’d realized. Really appreciate these opening videos!

[SinoMaticPayne]

For those wondering you're taking the A pawn with the knight instead of the bishop because your bishop in these set ups is melting faces on the right side of the board and allowing most of your attack on the right side.

[fingerstylefool]

I’m most shocked that the 1400 did not en passant instantly once it was available.

Me : casually trying to play the wing gambit.
My opponents: *U L T R A S M O R T*

[dreamevil]

For the Nc6 Sicilian there's this line "e4 c5 Nf3 Nc6 b4 Nxb4 c3 (other move leaves black with nice development and white is just a pawn down) Nc6 d4 cxd4 cxd4 e6 Nc3 Bb4 Bd2 Nf6" which gives black a comfortable game with a pawn up

[Spida]

11:48 what about queen b2 for white? It’s not trapped with that move.

[Astukart]

Stop giving away all my secrets, you son of a queen!
