I love all of these opening trap videos. But almost no one ever plays e5 in the opening in my games. Especially in blitz, everyone loves to use caro can to shut down tricky openings. Would be nice to see more traps against different openings

Checkmate in 3: rook F4, after black takes rook F4, queen check on G8, black rook covers with rook F8, queen F8 checkmate.

[alanrouse]

At 8:38, can't prevent d6 without check on every move. Can't check three times without losing too many attackers. Every piece that gives check will be captured, including the third one. So there is no 3 move checkmate. Stockfish gives mate in 21.

Transposition Alternate Move Order.
There’s a fun aggressive gambit system I teach my students that might be useful for some adventurous souls looking to sidestep the Petroff or the giuoco piano and force things down the road to this gambit. 1.e4 e5 2.d4 ed 3.Nf3 Nc6 (if 3… c5 4c3 dc 5.Nxc3 gives a strong initiative) 5.Bc4 Nf6 (if 5… Bc5 6 c3 dc 7Bxf7 + intending Qd5 leaves black in a world of hurt) 6. 0 - 0 and you have arrived at the gambit position in the video.

Jonathan stranz popularized this .. too bad he quit chess

I see no possible mate in 3 (?):
After 1. Rf4, black doesn't have to take the rook, can play d6 instead. Black is still lost, but mate is definetely further away than 3 moves.
After 1. Rxe7+, there is only Qxe7 and Rxe7.
Rxe7 would fail due to Qg8# mate in 1... But after black plays Qxe7 and white plays 2.Rxe7+, again black doesn't have to take the rook on e7, enabling Qg8# but rather play Kxe7 or even Kd8.
Even after Kd8 (not taking back white's rook), only check left for white would be Re8+ sacrificing the rook. If white instead plays 3. Rxf7 or Qxe7 threatening mate in 1, black always has c7 and the d7 pawn is still guarded twice by King and Bishop.
And if black decides to take back the rook with Kxe7, mate is even further away.
Where is the mate in 3?😯😯😯

[Zywl]

1:00 we still can play Nc3 after Re1, d5, sacrifice bishop Bxd5, Queen takes bishop, then we play Nc3.

[Mukiavelick]

Truly a very nice openning, very well explained!!!I However, I realy dont see mate in 3... can you please explain how? In my opinion in order to mate in 3 you have to keep checking the black king and there are 3 ways, Kf6+ ; QxR+ (Queen Sacrifice) or RxK+...

[dr.deepakgore]

Jonathan will be happy to see this. Sure i know the nakhmanson Gambit. But i try to play it just against players with over 2k. Below it the Max Lange is enough. 🎉😊

[dixonbeejay]

[Musicfan]

2:00 isn't after trading the rook for the bishop playable the greek gift sacrifice?

[yubtubthumper]
