Ready to play the Scotch Gambit? Let me know in the comments!
Chisti Nafi start today! Get the reps in and watch the other videos for this playlist so you can get familiar at more positions
Nice video!! I've played the Scotch Gambit many times already, but I still learnt a lot from your video, especially in the second half. I'm gonna head over right now to where you put these ideas in practice in your other video and see how you crush everybody with the Scotch Gambit.
May the force be with you!
Freedom Fighter thanks so much! The force is strong with you big fella. I hope the Scotch Gambit serves you well Jeod. LETS GOOOOO 💯🔥🥶😎
BRO, this video is amazing. I have won many games now with this. Thanks!
@@thechaneyunit 🤣🤣🤣 I’m happy for you bro! Good wins and keep it up! 🔥💯
This is awesome, very user friendly opening tutorial. I have found myself on the receiving end of the worst of these lines. Now I'm off to turn the tables
Thanks a lot! Time to return the favor! 💯🔥😎
When I clicked on the video and saw 70 thumbs up, 0 thumbs down, I was in doubt tbh. But ater watching the first 6 minutes, I'll make it 71/0. You're a great talker/teacher!
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks a lot! 💯🔥💵
"they might switch from e5 after this" LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm really happy to see you as an NM. I remember playing cass with you in first board when I played for Huron in MI scholastic tournaments. I hope you're doing well!
Yo! On the way to GM. Yessir that was the good days! hahaha mannn those were fun. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel!
Bro, so glad you're on YT! Came here after watching your games against Levy, it was such a good match.
I've been playing the Scotch Game for a while but never tried the Scotch Gambit, so this is right up my alley. Loving the content and love how you go through all the lines, very clean and straightforward. Often I'll watch a video about an opening and come out more confused than when I started, so many mainlines, sidelines, tactical ideas and whatnot. You got the sauce though, this was so well taught. Will look forward to more stuff, especially if you do one of those for black against 1.d4! Cheers!
Thanks so much for your support! Glad I could help you. I try to cover as much as I can in every video! Thanks my guy. Check the King's Indian playlist that is for d4
What a great masterclass 3 years later it's definitely a monument, your explanations are so clean and deep, particulary well adapted to all the kind of moves we will surely meet, greetings from Belgium
Wow, thank you!
Very very Impressive Video on Scotch Gambit. I have never seen any video explaining this opening un such a deep deep ideas. Really Wow. Just wow.
Glad you liked it! Hope is serves you well!
I have been learning this via your videos and they resigned very quickly on my first successful execution lol
😂😂😂 LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
I saw you on C-squared and really enjoyed it. This is the first of your videos that I've watched and I really enjoyed this too! You have a gift for speaking.
Thanks for watching! 🔥
You should call these QuickStarter videos something like “Padawan Training”
😂😂😂
Spanish is my first language, let me tell you that you explain so well that even a foreign person can understand everything you say. An incredible video my friend, expect to play it soon.
Thanks bro! I’m so glad I could help you my friend! 💯🔥😎
I love the way you explain he game and get straight to the point. Thank you!
I'm familiar with the Scotch Gambit, but I always learn something new about it.
LETS GO! Thanks for watching!
Loving the SGambino. You are quickly becoming my favorite chess youtuber. Making instructional content that holds up but is also entertaining. Keep up the work man!
Lets goooo 🔥🔥🔥 thanks for watching big fella 💯💯💯
Nice introduction, but he missed a few better moves. For example, @5:40, the bishop doesn't have to guard the queening square, as after Bxf8, black gets another queen but loses the king.
What an amazing tutorial! Love the content as well as the presentation style. Looking forward to watching other vids on Scotch gambit!
Thanks for watching! WE IN HERE
I’ve been looking at Lichess to go over the openings by frequency and then selecting best move for white based on win % and learning from the most common responses on down and sorting by my skill level and I’m learning how I don’t even have to be good at chess to be good at chess 😂
By that I mean there are enough traps in enough openings that a lot of openings you can win without knowing anything beyond the opening. At least far more winning than I am now.
For example… 48% of low to 1800 Elo players after queen to d5 in this opening either give up a mate or avoid mate only to get mate later or give up enough material for white to be crushing. Some not right away on move 7 but on 8 or 9.
The other 52% of opponents you might have to play beyond ~8 moves 😂 or offer them a draw and if they’re good enough to know you’re winning they’ll take it. I think if I looked beyond 8 moves and learned a few of the more common responses I’d also find a crushing advantage.
Even higher ELO players have big enough blunders for you or white is winning a high enough percentage for you to have a chance but I imagine you have to learn a lot more openings and a lot deeper in the opening to have a result and maybe learn some basic tactics and mating patterns to at least match opponents skill to where you can convert positions where historically 60% are wins into at least more than 50%.
Very nice touch and research here!
Master canty....I have watched thousands of viseos by eric rosen ....nakamura....and many others. I think your teaching style is excellent. Keep up
the great work.
Yoooo thanks a lot! Appreciate that
reading through Fishbein's book now (your recommendation from a previous video) it is a serious treatment on this opening this video is great man
Rich Senyor thanks bro! Yep I have some razor sharp lines with that opening now! It’s 🔥
All fantastically clear and practical. Thanks and sorry if I'm repetitive in my messages. Good evening bye
Glad you enjoyed it!
I follow you on ig and never assumed you had a TH-cam.
Thank you James.. I had this gambit with Be7 and opponent resigned on move 6.Qd5
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love your teaching style. Props for good instructive chess. 😎🤗😉
I appreciate that! LETS GO!
I did
e4e5
Nf3 Nc6
Bc4 Be7
D4 exd4
And they said it’s scotch game: Benima defense
But it’s off the Hungarian.
End up in the same position though after c3
We need the Netflix intro back ma man!
😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
Good stuff
Prepping this for my next otb event!
LETS GOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥
@@JamesCantyIII 1500s won’t know what hit em lol
@@physicist2337 🤣🤣🤣 BIG FACTS
22:25 is the rare moment where you can win time by advancing a pawn to your fourth rank by doing it in two moves rather than one. Real tortoise and the hare story here.
😂
Great video! The best I’ve seen
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice horse!
😂😂😂😂
That intro gonna make netflix jelly
😂
Great content.
THANK YOU! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much for not saying the Lord's name in vain! New sub 😁
No problem! I love the Lord 🙏🏾
thanks sir i like your video.it help me more .i like to play hyper accelerate dragon.in Sicilian your video is top class. sir i want video series against d4 for black aspect.thanks
Thanks for watching! Glad I could help! Try looking at my King's Indian playlist!
After Bb4+ and c3 i've seen People trying Qf6 but it Just doesnt work. Just go Bg5 and take The bishop on b4 next :)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
excellent info - Thank you
Thanks Donna! Glad I could help!
Thanks 👍
No problem 👍
thank you
You're welcome! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not sure if I missed it, but what do you do for Bc5? I saw what happens if they back track to c5, but not if it's the initial move. After you go through the Bb4 variations you go straight the Nf6 mainline. I think, I've only watched it twice and was looking for it on the second watch.
Do you mean at 21:59? That Bc5 one or another one?
@@JamesCantyIII 4...Bc5
*edit*
Just found it on your deep dive video @13:15
in 5:45 why can not whites beat the rook Bxf8 ?
bxa1 = queen
@@JamesCantyIII and Qxf7# checkmate. White wins
Good explanation..
Thanks alot! Anything you would like to see?
@@JamesCantyIII
First of all I am very thankful for responding to my post/comment...
...Ruylopez is the most convenient opening often seen at master level to intermediate player....
Pls, make a video that covers all variations.....
Donakonda Vijay Kumar no problem! You got it!
what about queen e7 that'll put our king in threat before we could castle
What is the timestamp?
@@JamesCantyIII so when bishop is at c4, queen at d5, pawn at e4, knight at f3 and they defend their king with queen on e7? what timestamp?
@@AbdulH where is this in the video that is the time stamp. The video is too long to know exactly what you are talking about.
@@JamesCantyIII so at 4:30 if their queen is on e7?
@@AbdulH if they go there then the bishop is blocked on f8, it’s a horrible move! You can’t develop the bishop and have the queen on e7 at the same time
Canty said that THATS NOT A MOVE!
man this scotch gambino playlist really thorough. opponent always diving into the deep end after move 5 or so.
Yessir! Glad I could help! LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
Hi there James. Just want to congratulate you and thank you on this superb scotch gambit lesson. This is my favourite opening in chess and has been for the last few years. I've seen lots of great scotch gambit videos and yours is one of the very best. You have a great style and delivery because your voice is always interesting and engaging. You make it exciting to listen to and that is half the battle because it helps you actually remember the moves. Really fantastic video and I'm sure this will make my use of the fab scotch gambit even better. Keep up the great work👏
Thanks Philip! Glad I could help! Thanks for watching bro. Hope you gain alot of points with this opening! 🔥🔥🔥
Great teaching style man, simply straight-up getting down to the good stuff. Thanks for the guide.
I appreciate that! Glad to help. LETS GET IT 💯
thanks I won a player in 23 moves!!!
btw I just reached a 1100 rapid I dont play bullet and blitz most of the time.
I am only 10 years old!
my chess.com account name is edisongm!!!
how do you memorize this theory? build up a chessbase repertoire? like damn you know the lines inside and out
haha Yes! That and reading CONSTANTLY.
How damn it !!
9:44 he missed the en passant. Bring the brick now.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
I like the italian, and after Nf6,I don't play Ng5. I play d4 exd4, 0-0
The line at 13:09 reminds me a lot of this 1 line from the evans gambit
Who in the world plays Be7 over the board anyway? I tend to get Bc5 way more.
Your channel is great bro. Thank you for just getting to the point in your videos and getting right into showing us the lines, many other TH-cam should take notes!😅
YOU GET A PAWN
YOU GET A PAWN
YOU GET A PAWN
AND IF YOU LOOK UNDER YOUR CHAIR…. That’s your butt going bye bye… CHECKMATE! 😂
😂😂😂
Castle protect the King at all cost
No entiendo pero creo que es buen camino
WOW 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I climbed up about 300-400 points on lichess after watching this video, thank you sir!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I saw the video of you and Hikaru and I had to look you up! I like your style! New subscriber here! Looking forward to more vids from you. 🤙🏽
Thanks for coming through! 💪🏾♟
Hey James! I saw you're making a chessable course on the scotch gambit! Any rough estimate when this might be released?
In the works still a few months left!
This is dope, i need to try this. Quick question what if instead of 5….dxc3 they do Na5 in the Be7 variation?
Great question it is rare. Be2 or d3 is the move
Let's go need some time
Great video love it
In 14:02 after black pieces capture in e5 with the queen cant we just put our rook in to e1 and we get a queen?
He takes the rook because it's undefended leading to an immediate checkmate 😬
would this still work if black plays Caro-Kann or the Sicillian?
Not at all! Please be sure to check out the other playlist on the channel!
Obi Wan would be proud of this playlist
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I just had a chance to try this out for the first time and I've never had so much fun in the opening. Thanks so much!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
5:39 After bxg7, cxb, bxb2 isn’t best because the king isn’t castled. in castles variation it’s a blunder but here it’s winning by +8 according to the engine. threatening mate on next move
Just found out about your channel. Really instructive and intersting! Amazing content!
Let’s go! 🔥🔥🔥
I found you in Christina’s (chesstina) chat on twitch you responded to me lol and decided to randomly look at your channel and now were here lol 😂
Welcome!!
@@JamesCantyIII good to see my people doing positive !
subbed so quick bro. thank you
Thanks for the sub! No problem bro! 💯💯💯
This video is the secret weapon
🔥🔥🔥
Superb opening explanation
Thanks Mike! 💯💯💯
Watch 100 times. Simple. I'll get right on that. Thanks for the content
Dirty, dirty tactics.
I played this opening randomly for many games yesterday because I got tired of opening with my queen's pawn and this is cool. Didn't know it was a thing it just made sense to me somehow.
Strong stuff big fella! Keep it up! This video will help you smash with it.
Very informative man thanks.
No problem Davy! 💯
@@JamesCantyIII I don't know if you watch coffee chess lol. It's really a bunch of mid range experts and below talking trash and playing chess. But I'm known for my attacking style and you gave me some new ideas in the scotch. They call me Brooklyn Dave on there. But I've had somebody play that crazy Bishop move(...Bg4) and wound up sacking the exchange anyway lol. I can't remember if I won that game or not but it surprised me.
PS. I know Dzingi from back in the day in Washington Square.
You're the least dry chess guy I've seen on youtube. Subscribed.
🤣🤣🤣 thanks bro! Glad I could help! 🔥😎💯
So far the best scotch gambit lesson I have watched you really deserve more subscribers than this
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
GET THIS OFF THE SCREEN this is a family channel!
every time Ive tried this the always start off weird asf making it now work lol
Thank you!
No problem!
How would you play if black does bishop to d6? On my app, that's what the computer does and I can't figure out how to play it. thanks
Hmm that’s odd what’s the move order?
@@JamesCantyIII 1. e4 Nc6 2. Nf3 e5 3. d4 exd4 4. Bc4 Bb4+ 5. c3 dxc3 6. bxc3 Bd6
@@kawaguchinw that’s a weird one. Lol best move and ideas is to castle, if Nf6 then play e5. If Nxe5 then we play Nxe5 and Re1 winning material. If 7...Nge7 then Ng5, after Ne5 by black play Bb3 and if h6 kicking the knight from g5 there’s f4!! Best move for black is Qf6 and it’s a tactical game. We go Bg5 then Re1 after Qg6. If h6 kicking the bishop then e5 as a counterattack! This line isn’t played by humans, so it will require some homework but you will be ready if you ever get it!
@@JamesCantyIII Awesome! Thanks!
I'm trying to get back into chess, any recommendations on how best to learn openings? I played a lot in tournaments as a kid, so I recognize a lot of these openings, but I never formally learned anything before. Thanks again
@@kawaguchinw no problem! Use chess.com or chessable.com they both help with opening training
I am planning to play this in my tournament tommorow.
, thanks for the vid.
Have fun! CRUSH IT LETS GO
@@JamesCantyIII Thanks, drew someone 300 points higher rated than I am with the scotch gambino.
@@SlowRay278 let’s gooooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@JamesCantyIII Thank you
Like 👍
Thanks for the visit
3:21 why would anyone do be7?
Check the database it’s thousands on thousands of games doing that. Strange move indeed.
@@JamesCantyIII thanks for the reply jedi master have a great day!!!
Thanks, great content!
My pleasure! 💯💯💯
@@JamesCantyIII been playing this for about 3 months now with great results. The way you go through the lines and the thought process is top tier!
Man, I just won my first game ever against a 2000 (lichess) because they resigned after be7-c3-dxc3-qd5 -- this video has netted me some nice scalps!
Margate LETS GOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Scotch Gambino for the win!!!
I will start playing Scotch gambit. OMG. I might binge watch your videos today. Can't wait for you to be a GM big fella!
yeaaaaaaaaaaaa LETS GO BIG FELLA! Thanks for watching!
Canty has more swagger in his pinky toe than any other FIDE master in the world. He makes chess feel accessable to those of us who grew up in the hood.
🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥
Great video!! I almost played this line--but I wasn't as familiar with it, so I just played my normal Scotch. Can't wait to try this one now!
Hope you enjoy it! LETS GO!
after you show a variation I have to setup the whole process and get there to really learn it, takes more than just watching it I feel like, by the way your videos are awesome man, I would love it if you could do maybe the fantasy variation against Caro kan or Evans gambit although the motifs are pretty similar
Thanks Nick! Yep it’s repetition and constant work on it bro. Check my Caro Kann playlist!
th-cam.com/play/PL9VW7cVkVYCNNLlPzNyHqyqekdf_H4PoT.html
I have won on the black side of the gambit 2 or 3 times. The first time was brutal, but I just thought about each move , step by step ...
It’s a scary gambit! Gotta be prepared!
i`m a sith but iappreciate your great great job... now i follow you Master Canty
I appreciate that fellow sith. The Force is strong on this side. 💯
Yo Canty great stuff, any chance you could do some videos explaining the benoni. Much love bro
kurt zaballero absolutely big fella!
It's a good thing people don't play like stockfish, I can't get anything by lvl 8
😂
Mind blowing !
i'm trying to learn this but at my elo so many people just take with the knight at the start on d4
Take on e5 when they do that, then the Knight on d4 will be hanging with Qxd4
I'm now a fiend for the scotch Gambino thanks to you good sir
No problem big fella time to turn up with it!
very nice, Scotch is one of my fav. I like the way he teaches.
Thanks bud course on the way!
