Take Your Chess Skills To The Next Level With High-Quality Courses

In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you 5 killer chess tricks to win fast in the King's Gambit, which is one of the most aggressive chess openings for White after 1.e4 e5, where White plays 2.f4. It works tremendously well for blitz games.

The main advantages of the King's Gambit are that it's very aggressive and is full of traps. Most of your opponents are unfamiliar with these opening variations and therefore it gives you a great edge in the opening stage.

Watch the full video lesson and learn how to launch a quick attack against the Black's king in different variations of the King's Gambit, including the King's Gambit Accepted, King's Gambit Declined, the Fischer Defense, and many more.

Hey GM Smirnov, first I want to thank you for taking the time to make these videos. for some reason I love your teaching methods the best. Matter of fact you helped me win 1st place in my very first tournament I attended last year. anyway, im hoping you see this comment, just wanted to let you know that the stockfish videos, with the AI bot talking im PRETTY SURE is copying and remaking your videos (unless its you on a second channel, which is genius, lol) the one titled "crash everyone with this unique kings gambit opening, preferred by stockfish" is almost word for word the same as your king gambits video. it says the exact same things you do and I noticed it because you mentioned the joked about your opponent trying to capture your queen but they can't and are seeing the little red square showing them they are in fact in check....and that video says the exact same hoping someone isn't stealing your content. and its not recognizable because its in the "AI Voice". have a wonderful day and again, thanks for all you do sir. EDIT- im 100% positive they stole your video if its not your channel, because they use almost the EXACT WORDING aside of a few words here and there

[investfoxy]

I am sure my opponent would be also watching this video 🤣🤣

[youngd]

Igor please do some more videos on games of great players like Fischer, Kasparrov, Tal, Morphy in Openings like the Kings Gambit or Ruy Lopez please 🙏 😀 😉

This is exactly what I needed for my kings gambit arsenal

I used the King's Gambit to gain a few hundred ratings points, but find it no longer works at my current level. Funny how certain opening tricks and traps work at specific Elo bands. Always entertaining content, of course, by GM Smirnov.

1. e4 e5 2. f4 d6 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. Bc4 Bg4 5. O-O Nd4 6. Bxf7 Kxf7 7. Ng5+ K anywhere 8. Qxg4 Nxc2 Is this not a problem?

05:15: "Black needs to accept the gambit". Wrong! Black can destroy White with the Falkbeer Counter Gambit! Igor: You did make a video about it, remember? It actually works! The last game, when my opponent tried the Kings Gambit on myself, lasted 7 moves till checkmate. Thanks for that other video, but 2... d5 should definitely be mentioned here as well as an answer to the Kings Gambit. More than 40 years ago, when I was a kid, my opponent found out about it within days of me playing the Kings Gambit myself. We were not in a chess club, there was no internet and we were both totally new in chess. So, I assume, these days, Kings Gambit players will encounter this also very soon – latest, when they want to cross the line from a 3 digit to a 4 digit rating.

I think Igor took inspiration from my comment to one of his previous vids. Nice work, Quaade trap is real gem.

me: *plays king’s gambit*
opponent: *plays sicilian defense*
me: *r e s i g n*

[choosenone]

Question if your opponent comes out with white E7 and his next move is f4 how would you defend that opening and if he has black it's d7 and c4

[levityshyperhighlights]

nice video but evertime i play this, the second move from my opponent after he played E5, is bringing his knight on C6. never had one of your situations ^^

[techpointgaming]

Time stamp :- 1:52

Question:- Bro what if black goes pawn to d4 and threatens our knight, instead of grabbing our pawn on e4 ?

[richardmanes]

Do not use Kings Gambit for White
It always loses
Black plays P x P
White Plays N-KB3
Then Black plays B-K2

[vyndktvx]

planning to play kings gambit for now on i used queens gambit from 500-800 nice opening

[Fightcommentaryextras]

I just lost to the Fischer variation. Looking for tips right now from your video.

[unclebob]

Beating patzers is my favorite pastime!

[tomkinnally]

Smothered Checkmate is the single most satisfying move in chess. Maybe checkmate with a pwn is close.

[bladmorane]

VERY GOOD GREAT STUFF, YOUR BIG CANADIAN FAN BORN IN RUSSIA

I always like the Fred Liver attack but it’s normally checkmate in 8 moves technically after the 7 move you probably should resign which is 100 percent accuracy
