    🔹 Chess Opening: Englund Gambit 1.d4 e5 | Traps and Ideas - • Chess Opening: Englund...
    In this video lesson, we will explore an aggressive chess opening for Black against the White's first move 1.d4. If you are playing 1.d4 yourself as White or if you are looking for an aggressive way to counter 1.d4 as Black, then you are going to love this!
    GM Igor Smirnov shares with you the Englund Gambit, which happens after the first moves 1.d4 e5. Black's idea is to avoid the traditional closed queen's pawn games and create an open game with tactical chances, but at the cost of a pawn.
    This will be a surprise for your opponents who play 1.d4 looking for a more positional game with strategic ideas. In this video lesson, you will learn the Blackburne-Hartlaub Gambit, which happens after 2.dxe5 d6, aiming for quick development after 3.exd6 Bxd6.

      In the final example you didn't cover what happens when white just takes pawn d6xc7 & now you can't queen side castle or stop the pawn. If you move your rook the castle is done. If you castle the rook is gone & you have to take the queen with your king.
      It's absolutely devastating.

    Hi Igor. I just found this video and today, for the first time, I had the chance to try it out. Well, my opponent resigned with only 18 seconds gone on my clock! (He castled and I revealed an attack on the queen with a check, as you showed). Amazing :) I've been playing for about 6 months now. Currently rated at just over 1300 and your videos are BY FAR the best I have found. You're a great teacher. Thanks a million and keep up the great work

  • @michaelrobinson2687

    With the position at 4:16 if I was in a game I'd be tempted to do this.
    1. N f6₁
    But knowing that this is more of a puzzle, it's clear there is a more aggressive option available. After thinking for a few minutes I saw this.
    1. Bxf3₂
    2. Bxf3₃, Q h5₄
    3. h3, B h2 +₅
    4. Kxh2₆, R x d1₇
    5. R x d1₈, Q x f2.
    That's as far as I got. I can't predict White's next move or see a way for Black to continue attacking after that so assuming White doesn't threaten the Queen I'd go back to the idea of N f6 I mentioned at the start of this comment.
    Footnotes (Thank you Unicode, it neatened up my comment a lot)
    ₁ Solid developing move, getting the Kingside Knight into the game and connecting the Rooks, completing the main opening goals.
    ₂ Getting rid of the White Knight and leaving the h2 square a bit vulnerable.
    ₃ White wouldn't want to lose their Knight for nothing and thus would want to recapture.
    ₄ Threatening Qxh2# on the next move. (It's rare that I spot checkmating threats - I tend to overlook them and get surprised if they're pointed out to me later - so I'm happy I managed to see this one - The complex position in the th-cam.com/users/shortsLEMz6BXhG80 video still annoys me a month after I came across it as I analysed all 7 checks I could see and none of those were checkmate.)
    ₅ Checking the King and opening up a discovered attack on the Queen.
    ₆ K h1 is also possible but seems worse intuitively. (Note, I've never gone this deep into footnotes in a TH-cam comment before)
    ₇ Winning the Queen!
    ₈ White salvages the situation by capturing the Rook and putting his own in a position to dominate the d-file.

      Hello there! I looked in the comment section to see if this comment was already written, but it doesn't seems like it. So, at 6:43, you are saying it is impossible to stop black attack, but i have to say you are wrong, because after white plays Bg2, if pawns capture then pawn f3 threatning the queen. Whatever blacks play from now on, it winning for white! Appart from that, i really appreciate de whay you talk and everything you have to show, it can really be effective against small ranked people.

  • @FredPlanatia
    @FredPlanatia ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi Igor, its an interesting variation. since the Englund gambit is rare I imagine lower rated players will not know how to punish it, and black will get an active game with d4 players on the backfoot.
    However, more advanced players will still come out of the opening with an advantage and if they maintain it they'll be better in the endgame. After black's light square bishop goes to g4, its best for white to play h3. But even if white follows your moves they still are better, until they castle kingside. That's a mistake since they castle directly into black's attack. Its better to keep the king in the center and play h3 instead. If black exchanges the bishop, then white can play Qe2 preparing to castle queenside, thus avoiding black's kingside attack.
    p.s. very glad you got your channel back. You're a very clear teacher where i always get some new ideas and encouragement. I subscribed.

    I'm so sorry that you were hacked one year ago! You are the best teacher I have ever experienced. I am over 70 YO and would love to join your chess classes, but will have to be content with watching (repeatedly) your superb videos. Thanks Igor!!!

    This is the Englund variation known as the Harltaub-Charlick gambit. Definitely more interesting the usual gambit, spasibo Igor'!

    Hey, thanks for the lesson! One question: What is to do when white plays h3 immediately after ..Bg4?

    What do you recommend after knight to D5 attacking the queen? Early from C3..

    Love ur instructive videos Igor .. By the way, how do we play against Bg5 recommended by engine for white instead of Bf4 (after d4, e5, de5, d6,nf3,nc6, Bg5)..

    Hello!!! Your videos are very very good 👍
    I have a question.
    If in 3:44 position white play knight d5 how can black respond?
    Thank you

    This is great, I'm a 950 rated blitz player and this will be perfect for opponents looking to play the london or queens gambit

  • @Silentsword184

    This opening is amazing, had so much success and caught some very strong players off guard. My only question is: What do we do if white instead of developing the Bishop on e2 to break the Pin goes to b5 pinning our Knight on c6 to the King threatening to capture our Knight and double our pawns on c7 and c6. I had a game where after castle queenside my opponent took the Knight on c6 and doubled my pawns, leaving my King exposed on the B file. If that happens is it possible to still somehow castle queenside or should we castle king side instead?

  • @ucanfly2

    If you have a chance can you show some move combinations that might happen with an early H3 move by white when you move your bishop to G4. As in just before you show the white side choose to castle.

    omg, this is such a better way to play, it actually gives you a fun and solid position regardless of white's prep

    Thank you for being so innovative and inspiring. A question: what would you recommend after 1. d4 e5 2. dxe5 d6 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. Bg5?

  • @gdocs1307

    Is the bishop D6 variation is also a part of Englund gambit?
