The Unbeatable Urusov Gambit - Chess Openings Explained

Thank you for this gambit, Jonathan. I've been a King's Gambit player for many years, and I've been looking for another opening with the fun of the KG but a little more solidity. I've been playing Bishop's Opening since I watched this video, with the Urusov whenever my opponent allows, and I have had great success. Rare to find an opening that I can adopt with success so easily. This is extremely comfortable to play.

So, this will definitely seem dumb, but the first 16 seconds sounded like he was on an old school freestyle rap 🙌🏽😂. Okay, back to the video.
