crazy move on 7:11 is pawn d3. if the queen takes then black's knight is unpinned; if the pawn takes you check with the bishop, and trade with the knight and now allowing queen e7; if white blocks with the bishop, black can either take the bishop or the knight with queen g5. if white goes queen to e3 then you can just go queen g5 and trade pieces.
6 months late, but maybe someone needs to read this. Pawn d3 is an absolutely terrible move for black. I just tried out several things with the engine. After white pawn takes on d3, if you don't check with the bishop, you lose the pinned knight (pawn takes) and the pawn on f5 right after. If you do actually check with the bishop, you take with the knight; then black knight takes the white knight - but that's winning for white because after that, you just take the pinned knight with the pawn, and then the black pawn on f5 right after after that, you can trade queens and stay winning because you're up in material

Great video! I have an idea for against martin: -Take turns moving each piece in value order (pawn>knight>bishop>rook>queen>king) -If you do not have the piece you skip it. -If you are in check you can move any piece.
It would actually be sick if you couldn’t break the rules even if you were in check because you’d have to prepare for it in advanced. If you can’t block check with the piece who’s turn it is, or move the king if it’s his turn, then you have to resign
The "crazy move" for black is d3 gaining a tempo on the queen, white has to take either with the queen and stop pinning the knight or with the pawn; if pawn takes cxd3 black has the great move Knight D4 and now the queen has to move, the check on Qh5! does nothing after black's g6.
@Someone-tf8qh if Qxd3, blacks knight is unpinned and can take White's knight. If bishop recaptures then queen captures bishop and black is up a piece
Chess but my pieces are scared of the dark: RULES: 1. you play as white 2. you cant move a piece to a dark square. 3. a piece that starts on a dark square must move to a light square as soon as possible. 4. you must sacrafise your dark bishop on the second move of the game,(d3, Bh6) 5. you cant castle 6. to checkmate all of your pieces must be on a light square. 7. pawns don't count for this challenge, you can move them anywhere. GOOD LUCK (you will need it.) EDIT: if you think you can do it include pawns aswell ;)

@@Adam-fk7zw No taking with the pawn is actually worst. You have to take with the queen, there is no need to keep trying to pin the knight, because it will only make your position even worst.
@@Adam-fk7zw you had it right until Qh5+, the next move isnt Qd1 because that blunders a full knight, you can play Qh4 though, now the only reason why d3 is so powerful is because your queen is now on the side of the board doing nothing and black has better development
The line is when black plays d3, taking with queen is the best move, but if you take with pawn, Black plays Nd4 attacking your queen, then Qh5+ is the best move and black plays g6, you might be able to catch them off-guard with Be2, but that is -2 and instead of Be2, you play Qh4.
I have made this mistake many times in the past. ;-) Funnily enough I realized that in the position at 2:20 if instead of giving the pointless check with Ng5, i simply drop back with Ng3 (and if they advance e4, drop the other Knight as well with Ng1), this is in practice a 70-80% winning position for white at ~1900 lichess rating. I know the engine says that position is garbage for white, but in practice black usually doesn't know how to play this at all. That way you can possibly still salvage the situation even after you blundered (not against 2000+ lichess though).
That's very defensive play and is the hallmark of a bad startup. As black there is actually no use to play 4Knights at anything above 1500 rating because there are much, much more stronger openings.
5:57 Starting position of all the lines 6:33 Line-1 black takes pawn with knight 10:15 Line-2 black takes knight with knight 11:37 Line-3 black plays natural move
Traditionally, if you don't want to gambit your pieces away, the best line is typically bb5 in the four knights game, putting pressure on the knight and forcing black to lose the opportunity to push their d pawn or compromise their pawn structure early on.
I love playing the halloween gambit against unsuspecting players in my chess club. They look at you like you're crazy, then you push all their material back and they're left with one developed knight. Stronger players will sometimes just let you capture the knight you're chasing in order to get back to development.
This is not a mistake, it's an even +0.0 game. (Well, you can argue that white lost a 0.3 advantage, but that is significant enough to count as a "mistake"(or a "mistkae"). )

Hello, I have an argument about the bishop sacrifice you said was wrong. Please educate me on how I’m wrong if I am. At 2:08, instead of castling, you could play pawn to d4, threatening to trade material in order for center control and develop your queen. If h8 comes instead of takes, just move knight to e8. No? Anyone please correct me if I’m wrong. And upvote if you’re wondering as well

Good video! I also have a challenge. You start off with martin, but everytime he blunders you go to the next bot *optional* Everytime he makes the best move you add a pawn to his army. ( start off with A and H)
4:29 pushing the pawn to e5 in this position means the black queen can pin your pawn to your king which also protects the knight. I’m surprised you missed that.
It's covered in another gambit (evans i believe?) you just unpin with your own queen and worst case, you come out even with a better position and more development
I feel kind proud of my chess-newbie self, that I played at least the first 1-2 moves of those gambits without knowing about them (just thinking "well if I do this, that is very annoying for black"). But I cannot say I planned this far ahead, nor that I converted the position as well.
I love this comment because it encapsulates the reason I learned certain openings like the caro kann and nimsovitch-larsen; because it was annoying for me to play against
Bc4 is not a mistake, no It’s a subpar/moderate inaccuracy but it leads to a dead equal position, whereas other moves are like +.2 or +.3 which is almost nothing anyways
Stockfish considers it a Book Move, which is neither here nor there. But he's clearly using the word "mistkae" in a very general sense to mean any less-than-best move, and it is that. If White allows Black to fully equalize on Move 4, I have no problem calling that a mistkae.
@@GraemeCree ok but in chess the official terminology for a slightly less than best move, is inaccuracy, not mistake A mistake is a SIGNIFICANTLY worse evaluation than the best move, an inaccuracy is a very slightly worse evaluation (which is the case here)
@@ifbfmto9338 I know what you mean, in fact I'm constantly irked by people who use the word "blunder" to mean "any less than perfect move", which is not what it means at all. Still, there are formal uses of words and informal uses. In a formal, technical sense, Bc4 is not a mistake, you're right. But going by the context of a video aimed at beginners, I'm inferring that he's using that he's using the word in a general sense rather than a technical one. Just like in informal, everyday speak, a chess expert would be anyone who was really great at chess, even Magnus, while in technical speak "Expert" means someone rated between 2000 and 2199. The average person might never dream that he could insult someone by calling them a chess expert, and be surprised to learn that he could. Even chess players might use the word informally sometimes. Like you might say it was a mistake for Petrosian to abandon the Petroff Defense in favor of the Sicilian in 1969, even though technically 1...c5 is not a mistake.
I didn’t watch this video before I played Black correctly in same position of a recent game. White played Bxf7+, which surprised me a bit in the game, but then my two Centre pawns pushed his knights back and dominated the board. Now he’s in trouble and I will win material soon.
5:16:Why can't you just take with the queen? The crazy move is d3 btw,and what im wondering is why can't the c2 pawn take, the knight is still pinned and is under attack by the pawn Please let me know because im very curious
Agreed, John Smith (if that's your real name). The Stockfish I used rates the position after 4. Bc4 Nxe4 5. Nxe4 d5 6. Bd3 dxe4 7. Bxe4 at -0.05 at level 24, i.e. essentially equal. Sure,, this isn't an ambitious way to start the game, but it's certainly not losing.
Curious you said blacks in big trouble around 8:14 but would the king get double checked if black moves Bb4+ as well as getting checked by rook so either move from king would put him in mate at that point??
Haha that’s great I played this all the time as a beginner not knowing it was theory I think a lot of beginners gravitate towards this opening because its development is intuitive and most beginners play e4.
7:09 The crazy move is for black to do Pawn D3 which threatens the queen but can also be captured by the pawn White's best response is to capture it their pawn and then black will play Knight D4. # This forces the white queen to remove the pin on the knight, if they think they are sneaky and move the white queen to E3 you will notice that there is a queen, rook, king fork on c2. So instead, white's best move is to play Queen H5 check to desperately hang on. Black will play Pawn G6 to block the check. White will drop back 1 square to h4. # If Black ever for some reason decides to capture your knight on G5, just recapture it with Bishop Takes G5. Black will play c6, threatening a knight. White will capture the black knight with Pawn Takes E4. Black will capture the white knight with Pawn Takes D5.
7:23, I don't really play chess but is the move Bishop to b4? It takes back tempo and can potentially be used to take back the reins if you know what to do next I wager, mostly because the position is covered by your Knight, trading bishop for bishop at worse and at the very least forces the enemy to move their bishop and waste a turn not applying pressure, from there white can castle next turn but you will already have a good development on that side of the board maybe?
I made a poem about the four knights game The Four Knights game, the chess board's claim To battles fought in ancient fame. Four knights stand tall, their form on display, Intricate moves, in a symphony they play. A battle of wits, every move thought through, A grand opening, worthy of the view. The pawns advance, the knights take the lead, A daring display of strength and speed. A grand entrance, a round of applause, The Four Knights making their noble cause. Players in awe, with each calculated move, Strategizing, ready to improve. So let's keep playing this ancient game, With the Four Knights opening, forever the same. As long as chess is played, their memory remains, The Four Knights, their glory forever sustained.
After the 4 knights I play the Scotch Variation (not the Belgrade Gambit), it's probably one of the best bcoz then I many-a-times get a chance to do a royal fork or sometimes even a royal family fork
1:37 Nope, this is a drawish position according to stockfish, its top suggestions is O-O, d4 and Qe2 7:10 This "Crazy Move" seems to be d3 and the reasoing behind this is that you sacriface the pawn for a lot of tempo followed by a couple moves of danger levels and then reverse the attack back on white or to move the king, unless you instead do "Qxd3", then it is just some tempo and a little bit of tactics that follow.
white can first attack the pawn and then bishop to c4 thats called italian game yk catle defend your pawn open diagonal black-squared bishop and protect the pin
Btw the crazy move is probably d3. It leads to white having really open center or if played incorrectly by white could also lead to losing rook or queen.
At 9:12 what about the move Kd4 for black? Pawn can't take knight because pin and it can't take bishop because that hangs the queen. Seems like a spicy line
if you sim1:36, than comes D2-D4, E5xD4,E4xC6,B2xC6,D1xD4, O-O Than all centerpawns of both sides are gone. With the chance that (in low elo) black doesnt see O-O and plays C3-C4 instead.
Black 8:13 bishop to b4 its double check by rook and bishop King moves to f1 rook e1 mate 👍 and even king moves to d1 its still mate after queen comes out in some moves
one thing I've noticed since watching this video: taking with the knight only works in king's pawn games. in queen's pawn games, it doesn't work nearly as well, and bringing the bishop out is the correct move.
thank you, ive been stuck sub 400. and seeing things like this helped me rethink my moves. instead of just moving to move in the opening a specific way. now i pressure & look to protect. now im winning against 500+ rated players and my elo is raising.
I have watched SO many of these openings videos and every time I try them the computer never responds the way it's played out in the videos. You have to just get lucky and the computer plays exactly what moves the teacher says.
crazy move on 7:11 is pawn d3. if the queen takes then black's knight is unpinned; if the pawn takes you check with the bishop, and trade with the knight and now allowing queen e7; if white blocks with the bishop, black can either take the bishop or the knight with queen g5. if white goes queen to e3 then you can just go queen g5 and trade pieces.

because after that, you just take the pinned knight with the pawn, and then the black pawn on f5 right after
after that, you can trade queens and stay winning because you're up in material

7:09 The crazy move is for black to do Pawn D3 which threatens the queen but can also be captured by the pawn
White's best response is to capture it their pawn and then black will play Knight D4.
# This forces the white queen to remove the pin on the knight, if they think they are sneaky and move the white queen to E3 you will notice that there is a queen, rook, king fork on c2.
So instead, white's best move is to play Queen H5 check to desperately hang on.
Black will play Pawn G6 to block the check.
White will drop back 1 square to h4.
# If Black ever for some reason decides to capture your knight on G5, just recapture it with Bishop Takes G5.
Black will play c6, threatening a knight.
White will capture the black knight with Pawn Takes E4.
Black will capture the white knight with Pawn Takes D5.

MISTKAE oh the irony
Your e mistaek is: DAM uncany!!!!
hmm ... can some chess expert tell me why ,at 8:13 , black doesnt play bishop b4 and double check king , so white can't block , and win with rook e1 ?
This was great! Please do more like this where it's only a few moves deep for us noobs to follow
7:23, I don't really play chess but is the move Bishop to b4? It takes back tempo and can potentially be used to take back the reins if you know what to do next I wager, mostly because the position is covered by your Knight, trading bishop for bishop at worse and at the very least forces the enemy to move their bishop and waste a turn not applying pressure, from there white can castle next turn but you will already have a good development on that side of the board maybe?
No why would you think that? He addressed the Bb4 line. The move is d3.
No it’s they mov spawn up square attacking queen, I used stockfish

I made a poem about the four knights game
The Four Knights game, the chess board's claim To battles fought in ancient fame.
Four knights stand tall, their form on display, Intricate moves, in a symphony they play.
A battle of wits, every move thought through, A grand opening, worthy of the view.
The pawns advance, the knights take the lead, A daring display of strength and speed.
A grand entrance, a round of applause, The Four Knights making their noble cause.
Players in awe, with each calculated move, Strategizing, ready to improve.
So let's keep playing this ancient game, With the Four Knights opening, forever the same.
As long as chess is played, their memory remains, The Four Knights, their glory forever sustained.
Thank you so much for the opening variations!
When he said "crazy move" he never mentioned the queen. I wonder if it has something to do with taking the knight with queen
“...the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.” - Sun Tzu
After the 4 knights I play the Scotch Variation (not the Belgrade Gambit), it's probably one of the best bcoz then I many-a-times get a chance to do a royal fork or sometimes even a royal family fork
THAT PICTURE IS KILLING ME HELP😭😭😭😭😭
1:37 Nope, this is a drawish position according to stockfish, its top suggestions is O-O, d4 and Qe2
7:10 This "Crazy Move" seems to be d3 and the reasoing behind this is that you sacriface the pawn for a lot of tempo followed by a couple moves of danger levels and then reverse the attack back on white or to move the king, unless you instead do "Qxd3", then it is just some tempo and a little bit of tactics that follow.
Wow.. finally a useful chess video. Halloween gambit works wonders.
white can first attack the pawn and then bishop to c4 thats called italian game yk catle defend your pawn open diagonal black-squared bishop and protect the pin
This video is so on point I didn’t understand how time passed. Instant subscribe!
If only opponent would play the "They're gonna" moves.
7:08
d3 btw
Btw the crazy move is probably d3. It leads to white having really open center or if played incorrectly by white could also lead to losing rook or queen.
The move he didn't show was pawn to d3for black it attack white queen and free the way for black knight to jump on d4to attack queen on Next move
@@prarjucarju957but knight gets eaten by knight.
Pawn to D3, Raw aggression. I'm not a an 1800, Nelson just massively underestimated his audience. 😅
At 9:12 what about the move Kd4 for black? Pawn can't take knight because pin and it can't take bishop because that hangs the queen. Seems like a spicy line
Qd3, also that's not how you write the knight in chess notation
At 8:42, what about if someone plays the move Bf6 instead of Bg5? How would white then attack?
Bf6 loses a rook for nothing
Don't know if you'll see this message but At 8:14 why isn't it mate in 2 for black using the rook and the bishop?
That's why I've been learning Ruy Lopez since I was 1000 Elo, and now I'm 1600 Elo even though I started playing chess about a year ago.
if you sim1:36,
than comes D2-D4, E5xD4,E4xC6,B2xC6,D1xD4, O-O
Than all centerpawns of both sides are gone. With the chance that (in low elo) black doesnt see O-O and plays C3-C4 instead.
I honestly wouldnt have clicked on the video if there was no typo
Black 8:13 bishop to b4 its double check by rook and bishop King moves to f1 rook e1 mate 👍 and even king moves to d1 its still mate after queen comes out in some moves
one thing I've noticed since watching this video: taking with the knight only works in king's pawn games. in queen's pawn games, it doesn't work nearly as well, and bringing the bishop out is the correct move.
😢
I always fianchetto my bisshop(s) first instead of bringing it out like that.
thank you, ive been stuck sub 400. and seeing things like this helped me rethink my moves. instead of just moving to move in the opening a specific way. now i pressure & look to protect. now im winning against 500+ rated players and my elo is raising.
Y'know what... It's almost Halloween, I better learn this Halloween Gambit!
1:15 bro you can take the f7 pawn with tempo and it’s the same position with pieces but king is more opened than strippers
Love these chess lessons!! ❤❤❤
I have watched SO many of these openings videos and every time I try them the computer never responds the way it's played out in the videos. You have to just get lucky and the computer plays exactly what moves the teacher says.
Tried the Halloween gambit 10 times and nobody fell for it.
"ok so you shouldnt do this because you lose a piece, instead you should use this move that loses a piece"
4:18 In this position I like to play nxe4, countergambiting and fighting back in the center. How can my opponent respond?
That’s just not a good gambit
Under 1200, I LAUGH, try half that!
Pawn to D3 would be the crazy move to mess everything up
I never do this, my opponent usually threatens my left knight with their bishop
@10:20 what if black knight goes B4? Just pushing C3?
d4, Belgrade Gambit, "Let me cook" Variation
If you all are wonder about the move at 7:05 it's the pawn to D3
This is an excellent video. Thank you

7:11 7. …d3 8. cxd3 Nd4 9. Qh5+ g6 10. Qh4 c6 11. dxe4 cxd5 12. exd5 Bg7 and black has a great game (showing -1 according to stockfish)
Crazy line is Nb4 for black, white's best response is trading knights and play Kd1 or there will be an unblockable bishop check
Nevermind I miscalculated and engine gave me d3
I recognize this Nxe4 d5 motif from the Vienna Game. Fun stuff.
