You've got to thing of the reason why, instead of going oooh yummy look free queen, think about why it's there and what could happen the turn after, if you don't think about the turn after then yeah that would be a checkmate
*applause* YOU ARE THE WINNER OF THE BEST COMMENT IN A CHESS VIDEO OF ALL TIME. here's your trophy, careful, it's made out of sacrificed king chess pieces, it can break very easily.
lol I remember watching this channel when I started playing chess 5 years ago. I would play the openings shown in these videos hoping my opponents would fall into a trap but it _rarely, rarely_ happened. Thing is, when you're a beginner your opponents don't know any theory and they seldom play the moves you want for the trap to occur. When you get better, your opponents already know the trap or they're good enough to spot it before it's too late.
That was very strategic play and many people I know would fall for this amazing trap.

It's pretty common that my opponents decline the e4 pawn, I'd say two out of three. So If you are planning to practice Blackmar-Diemer, you should definately look at the sidelines too. Caro-Kann advanced (1. d4 d5, 2. e4, c6, 3. e5) is one of your best options to continue :)
@@MrNoodles34 or they don't fall for traps. Traps on work on amateurs. For example I don't know all the traps in the fried liver attack and the ones I do I don't know too extensively but common sense tells me if my opponent allows the fried liver, white should always better if they play the best moves so I know if my opponent plays it either a) he's a moron b) he's going for a trap and I just know to look for it like if I just don't take on f7 after d5 exd5 Na5, then I'm just up a pawn for the whole game or if he plays bxf3 I just don't take back, it's common sense. In this opening for example, instead of being greedy, black just doesn't take d4 and just develops his pieces and is comfortably a pawn up with better pawn structure, how can that be bad for black? All in all any decent players knows that you should always develop your pieces first, and if you are up 1 pawn, you don't need to risk the game by grabbing a 2nd pawn
LOL I like it when I am intentionally giving away a queen (for checkmate) and my opponent falls for my trap and gets too excited about being up a Queen.
I am a novice chess player and I would like to thank you for your videos. I play chess via an app and I could not get a handle on the game for a long time. Then I watched your video on your ten favorite chess openings and I was introduced to the Fried liver attack which has opened up the game of chess for me tremendously. This trap is interesting and I think it will be yet another tool in my arsenal. Thanks again.
I finally pulled this off!! Wasnt perfect, but i won because my opponent took my queen. Thank you for this video! Im getting better one video at a time!
I love playing this gambit with white! Honestly it usually leads to great positions for me (I’m at 1750 at bullet chess). However the most common move I usually see that can lead to an easy win, is after Queen takes on f3, black will sometimes play bishop g4. And then from there I just take on b7 with the queen. Usually black will usually play Knight it d7 or c6, then knight to c5 is just winning for white at that point
Played this at a tournament 1600-level. Had success with it at blitz games, but definitely not at a tournament. Once your opponent puts their Queen on g5 to avoid the trap, you get some nice attacking play but none of it is sound enough to really dent black's defense. Once black develops, you've basically just given up two pawns and complete centre control of the pawns for nothing. I spent the rest of the game in an epic struggle to win pawns back to make it even for the endgame.
a discovered attack is where a piece "blocking" the attack of another one of your pieces is moved. Because the piece moved in this case also places check, this means that the discovered attack lets white pick up the black queen.
Great trap!! I really like the Blackmar-Diemer gambit especially when Black plays the Scandinavian Defence against me which sometimes can bring me to loose up my king.. I'll use this trap when playing the BDG.. Thanks a lot, Kevin!!
I've played over 1000 games since first watching this video, and not once did I ever get a position that manifested into anything close to this. One day...maybe.
Hey, Nice demonstration, but I want to point on one specific move after 5:46. Why Can't Black's bishop Capture the Rook straight after the Check(before moving his queen back to c5), This would further disrupt his(white's) game and no longer black would be prone on the d file by the rook..rest of the game will be taken care smoothly.
I tried this trap, and it worked 1/3, which was still awesome though because I love this trap. The two times I couldn't use it, was when my opponent, as i move knight to B5, moves his knight to D7, blocking the D file from my rook. What do I do in this case ?
I was thinking for some time why Black can't just take the Rook with a Bishop at 5:46 (Bgxd2), but as doing it in my head, I kept forgetting that after capturing the Rook, the Bishop will no longer be defending d7 square, so I kept including him (along with the f6 Knight) into defenders, thus missing the mate sequences :D Great video, thank you! I learned something new again :-)
Cute trap, but I'm not convinced. After 7...Qxf3, Nxf3 Black just plays 8...c6. This prevents incursion by the White queen's knight. If Black plays too ambitiously then maybe you can use your superior development to attack weak points in the position, but instead black can just "turtle up" and play e6 Be7 0-0 etc. Once Black's position is secure, he can advance either the e or c pawn and open the position up. With no central pawns, White can't pressure the Black pieces or use pawn levers to create holes in the Black position. The only weaknesses in Black's position are the central and queenside dark squares, but you can't really coordinate to attack them effectively. Even in an optimal position you might land a knight on d6 or something, but this hardly worth 2 pawns.
thank you so much ^^ i'm not a tournament player.. used to play in tournaments when i was a kid.. but still ur videos are so catchy that i watch them just for fun.. chess is a gr8 hobby to have :)
Your videos are awesome man. So clear and informative, but also entertaining to watch. There are so many solid videos out there that can really help your game, but they are just boring to watch. Great stuff
I played this variation several times in years past, and the looks of my opponents' faces when i played Nb5 after playing Bg4... "oh wow, i won a queen for a bishop", until they realize the queen was poisoned after I instantly play Nxc7#... the shocked reaction from my opponents was priceless. 😂 i have not played the blackmar-diemer gambit in over 2 years as the average rating of my opponents are over 1700. They will likely not fall for this trap.
when working with a chess traps always think that your opponent will not fall for it... so always device a different variation depending on your opponents move. I have been using this opening for white every game and it gives me an advantage everytime... even if they did not fall in the trap.
mannn, I remember going through all the thought processes that he was describing. I didn't fall for the mate in 1 but i ended up losing the game because of that brutal attack! And I thought my skewer was genius!
Just remember, when you play people that aren't good enough to fall into your gambit/trap, more often then not they actually put themself in equal or worst position, you just have to find the answer. Those positions come from grandmasters thinking about the best possible moves to play after you play your move. Most moves that fall out the lines if not studied before hands are usually just as bad.
dev daga I believe you can’t castle if an opponents piece is checking a spot between the king and the rook. Which in his case the queen would be checking the d1 square between his rook and king, so he can’t castle.
Mangesh Pawar you can play Bishop F1 to D3. Now you can castle and they most likely will move one of their pawns. You can then move ur bishop on d3 back or to e2 giving more control over the center. Now you’re attacking his queen with the rook. Most likely they will move the queen out of the way or even try to attack ur queen but at that point everything is setup.
Brilliant! I'm going to try this out on my friends. Still, assuming that the queen doesn't move to b4 (1:20) and instead moves back to somewhere in the d file, then what? That way, you won't be able to castle. It's quite a gamble, though it's very effective if they fall for the trap. Anyone?
@@VoraXYZ it dosn't mater if he dont fall for it than you take his, than you have a much more opened game than he does plus he can't contest your pawn he because your knight defend it so you are even but whit more options
Having loads of fun with this opening, although when I've tried it on someone with a much higher rating I've tended to get pretty hammered. Great videos though and a great channel. Much appreciated...
Just from my own personal experience, I think alot of the basic traps actually don't work on people who are total beginners, because there moves often don't follow any logical pattern and are often somewhat random and pointless. Alot of the traps depend on you making specific moves but they also depend on the opponent making one of the 2 or 3 most sensible moves. A beginner will often do things that make no sense and are unpredictable, but if often ends up "accidentally" messing up what you were trying to do. Any thoughts?
But.. that's just losing for white though. After 3. Qxb5+, you get Bd7 with a tempo on the queen. Can't take it because it's protected by the knight, so the white queen has to move. At that point, g2 and e3 will be hanging, and of course you choose to defend the bishop. So after 4.Qb3 protecting the bishop, you have Qxg2 winning a pawn. White couldn't play something like 4.Rd4, because you get Qxe3+ and if 5.Kb2, there's Qe1+ 6.Rd1 Qxd1#. If 5.Kd1, then Qxd4+ and blacks completely winning. Therefore, white is forced to protect bishop with 4.Qb3, then after Qxg2 with tempo on the rook, you have to lose the knight too or else you lose the rook. The knight has no where to go and after Queen takes knight and it's completely winning for black. e6 to Be7 is coming and you can't stop black from castling without sacrificing anything and after castle, white would be in a huge disadvantage tempo-wise and piece-wise
I still feel like a good player could develop with a tight defensive positional game that could negate the development advantages and lead to black eventually leading with two pawns into the end game. Once the queens trade this seems like a pretty hard opening to get right and White is forced to be super ultra aggressive at the end of the opening or it will get squeezed out in the end by the pawn disadvantage.
wtf you are analysing this as if all moves are forced. ''he's going to do this, we're going to do that''. if the trap doesnt work immediately, game will be extremely tactical with many variations.
Because, you of 2 years ago, this video is 11 minutes. There are entire books that delve deep into all the variations of specific openings and gambits that you can look into if you feel so inclined. To give you a comfortably lengthed video here on TH-cam, Kevin only goes over the "main lines" (what usually happens given that the other player accepts the gambit/falls for the trap).
8:17 I really like the fact that we are threatening Nd6+ double check, forking the king and queen with our knight and black cannot capture the knight because of the queen and also cannot capture the queen because of the knight, which forces black to move his king.
That said, I think I will definitely be using the Blackmar Gambit (and hopefully the Halosar trap) when I start with 1. e4 and black pulls 1... d5. I respond to that with my Queens pawn (2. d5) already, so this opening adds on to that nicely. - Looks great for speed chess, lots of open play! - Seems great for getting new players into the skill of playing an open game without a queen, in particular handling bishop/knight play. Against a good player I'd be hesitant to play this though.
I like this trap better than most traps because it's the natural progression of the opening. Most traps are initiated by some weird move that's not necessarily bad but perhaps has a better and more natural alternative.
Watched this video...used the trap...he defended different then usual. instead of knight to E4 he went bishop to F5, so i said screw it and continued the trap anyways..he never used the queen to take the pawn thought so my D4 pawn made it all the way to F7 forcing his king out and it still worked beautifully
I had to bring that part up because if the Queen takes the knight right above it, now your queen is trapped or if you take his queen and put him in check, he will move his (c7) pawn to (c6). you couldn't take his bishop with your queen since his knight will take your Queen o.O chances are in this case Queen will ALWAYS take the knight on (b5). unless of course you want to take out both Queens . lol
Love the traps. You have really made me a better chess player. Now I'm into studying chess computers and the algorithms they use. Unfortunately, since there are no chess clubs nearby, I spend all my time playing vs the computer. The only thing about that is chess computers are materialistic, meaning if they see an opportunity to go for a kill, they will nearly always do it. Gambits nearly always work, for instance. And outposts sometimes get blown up, even if it costs the computer a minor piece. It really depends on the algorithms used by the chess engine, but a good many of them will be materialistic.
I do, sometimes. Only thing I don't like about playing chess online is sometimes real life gets in the way, and I or my opponent has to go "AFK" long enough to time out. I prefer real chess face to face when I'm playing against someone. Either that or with a computer set on moderately high difficulty so I can practice these techniques without losing spectacularly.
This was extremely helpful. Super awesome opening. I’ve used it 3 times so far on chess.com and won all three games. No ones fell for the quick mate though. They usually play pawn instead of knight giving the king an escape square.
The very easy way to deal with stuff like the Danish gambit et al, is simply not to take the second pawn. A smart player will also look to pitch that extra pawn back to throw off the other player; it really helps a lot in blitz!
Damn this opening is awesome. I played with a guy who tried to play around the trap and he did but he eventually lost his queen his knight and a bishop and a tiny pawn for one pawn of mine..he resigned 😀
Playing Black, I had my opponent's queen being attacked with a pinned rook, a bishop pinned by protecting the other rook. While dancing around my light bishop at g4, I positioned my knight and queen into a checkmate against a king side castle. After taking the h2 white pawn, the king moved to threaten my knight at g2. Moving my knight to protect it at f3, white made a pawn advance. I moved my queen against at h5 to set up checkmate. 2 moves later was checkmate for me. My best finish.
All depends on how you play. I just beat a guy in a game who tried several tricks, but I dismantled them with good old, solid positional play and a watchful eye for traps like this. I used his own offence against him, actually, by trapping his black bishop and one of his knights after he castled. They weren't captured, they simply couldn't go anywhere. It was over the internet, so I have no idea how frustrated the poor guy was.
After Nxf7+ Nxf7 Rxd8+ Kxd8 White can now take black's queen (the first check was also a discovered attack, as mentioned at a different point in the video)

I have found so many alternatives and it always end up on checkmate... Good work live this opening😁
I finally pulled this off!! Wasnt perfect, but i won because my opponent took my queen.

I love playing this gambit with white! Honestly it usually leads to great positions for me (I’m at 1750 at bullet chess). However the most common move I usually see that can lead to an easy win, is after Queen takes on f3, black will sometimes play bishop g4. And then from there I just take on b7 with the queen. Usually black will usually play Knight it d7 or c6, then knight to c5 is just winning for white at that point

The thing I love most about these videos is when I do them against the computer and lose because it doesn't do any of the things you said it would do.
Computers dont fall into traps
3:39 "Keep in mind at the same time we are attacking his queen"
???
How are we attacking his queen?
He can move the knight to check the king, and in doing so he allows his queen to attack the opponents queen
a discovered attack is where a piece "blocking" the attack of another one of your pieces is moved. Because the piece moved in this case also places check, this means that the discovered attack lets white pick up the black queen.
I think it is because of the bishop at f1
He meant king
Yeah he messed up a lot on this video

If it not plays black to Qb4 and goes to Qd8 then it's loss of white

Qxb7 is the best option, although if you get your queen out of the way, you can play Nxc7, and win the rook on a8.
13yrs ago he could say "He" and it was perfectly ok.
Amazing how things change so fast, even the audio in this video.
Nice trap! No doubt I gonna try!

You don't have to castle to get the room on the d-file. You can try simply moving the rook next to the king, attacking the queen.

Just from my own personal experience, I think alot of the basic traps actually don't work on people who are total beginners, because there moves often don't follow any logical pattern and are often somewhat random and pointless. Alot of the traps depend on you making specific moves but they also depend on the opponent making one of the 2 or 3 most sensible moves. A beginner will often do things that make no sense and are unpredictable, but if often ends up "accidentally" messing up what you were trying to do. Any thoughts?
Yup true
Thats a nasty trap! Thanks for the upload, will add this to the arsenal!
7:21 What if the black bishop move to g4 first before the queen
+wanderlust White queen can take on b7, can he not?
I like how the game ended as soon as the Queen is bait. We all know it. The rest was just annihilation of opportunity
Lmao thought I was watching this with RainyMood
Sad to see this channel so underrrated
@ 5:47 I wouldn't bring my black queen to c5 but use the black bishop to take the rook on d1
Nice try, but you die after Qc6
@@darktechno8321 yes but knight on d7,than what?
I take your rook, knight, pawn and soon you are somehow checkmate
@@darktechno8321 can u write step by step,i can say when u take my rook i give you mate and gg..
@@darktechno8321 after yozr qc6 i do knight on d7,than u play what?
5:29 Here, 1. Nxc7+ Nxc7 2. Bb5+ Nxb5 3. Qxb5+ simply forces a mate. Obviously far better than simply taking a knight.
But.. that's just losing for white though. After 3. Qxb5+, you get Bd7 with a tempo on the queen. Can't take it because it's protected by the knight, so the white queen has to move. At that point, g2 and e3 will be hanging, and of course you choose to defend the bishop. So after 4.Qb3 protecting the bishop, you have Qxg2 winning a pawn. White couldn't play something like 4.Rd4, because you get Qxe3+ and if 5.Kb2, there's Qe1+ 6.Rd1 Qxd1#. If 5.Kd1, then Qxd4+ and blacks completely winning. Therefore, white is forced to protect bishop with 4.Qb3, then after Qxg2 with tempo on the rook, you have to lose the knight too or else you lose the rook. The knight has no where to go and after Queen takes knight and it's completely winning for black. e6 to Be7 is coming and you can't stop black from castling without sacrificing anything and after castle, white would be in a huge disadvantage tempo-wise and piece-wise
1:51 you said pin instead of skewer
Gotta love all the tactics and gotta hope I remember enough of them to put them to use.
nice
This opening certainly offers lot of attacking chances for white. White has total control of files and diagonals in this opening!
5:33 Move knight to c7 gg
+UnderA But it was black's turn
If they didsomething wrong then it's a gg
He was forced to move his king because he was in Check from the queen.
Then black knight takes white knight after
I still feel like a good player could develop with a tight defensive positional game that could negate the development advantages and lead to black eventually leading with two pawns into the end game.
Once the queens trade this seems like a pretty hard opening to get right and White is forced to be super ultra aggressive at the end of the opening or it will get squeezed out in the end by the pawn disadvantage.
wtf you are analysing this as if all moves are forced. ''he's going to do this, we're going to do that''. if the trap doesnt work immediately, game will be extremely tactical with many variations.
Because, you of 2 years ago, this video is 11 minutes. There are entire books that delve deep into all the variations of specific openings and gambits that you can look into if you feel so inclined. To give you a comfortably lengthed video here on TH-cam, Kevin only goes over the "main lines" (what usually happens given that the other player accepts the gambit/falls for the trap).
yea i hate people that make stupid comments like this.. Like do you really expect him to go over EVERY single move possible? gimme a break
ikr they probs dun even play chess
What a dumb . Then make ur own video with every move of other pieces
He’s going over a common example of what could happen
8:17 I really like the fact that we are threatening Nd6+ double check, forking the king and queen with our knight and black cannot capture the knight because of the queen and also cannot capture the queen because of the knight, which forces black to move his king.
That said, I think I will definitely be using the Blackmar Gambit (and hopefully the Halosar trap) when I start with 1. e4 and black pulls 1... d5. I respond to that with my Queens pawn (2. d5) already, so this opening adds on to that nicely.
- Looks great for speed chess, lots of open play!
- Seems great for getting new players into the skill of playing an open game without a queen, in particular handling bishop/knight play.
Against a good player I'd be hesitant to play this though.
I like this trap better than most traps because it's the natural progression of the opening. Most traps are initiated by some weird move that's not necessarily bad but perhaps has a better and more natural alternative.
Thanks very much for this. I love it aesthetically, even if I end up losing with it.
Every time i watch a video like this I start a game, get 2 moves in then forget wtf I'm supposed to do next.
Watched this video...used the trap...he defended different then usual. instead of knight to E4 he went bishop to F5, so i said screw it and continued the trap anyways..he never used the queen to take the pawn thought so my D4 pawn made it all the way to F7 forcing his king out and it still worked beautifully
Cool lil trap!
I had to bring that part up because if the Queen takes the knight right above it, now your queen is trapped or if you take his queen and put him in check, he will move his (c7) pawn to (c6). you couldn't take his bishop with your queen since his knight will take your Queen o.O chances are in this case Queen will ALWAYS take the knight on (b5). unless of course you want to take out both Queens . lol
Hoping to use this on my chess club member. Get ready to get owned, Drake!
Love the traps. You have really made me a better chess player. Now I'm into studying chess computers and the algorithms they use. Unfortunately, since there are no chess clubs nearby, I spend all my time playing vs the computer. The only thing about that is chess computers are materialistic, meaning if they see an opportunity to go for a kill, they will nearly always do it. Gambits nearly always work, for instance. And outposts sometimes get blown up, even if it costs the computer a minor piece. It really depends on the algorithms used by the chess engine, but a good many of them will be materialistic.
You should play online so that you can play against people who use actual principles to play.
I do, sometimes. Only thing I don't like about playing chess online is sometimes real life gets in the way, and I or my opponent has to go "AFK" long enough to time out. I prefer real chess face to face when I'm playing against someone. Either that or with a computer set on moderately high difficulty so I can practice these techniques without losing spectacularly.
Hi really like the way you explain things. It's both interesting and clear. Thanks. From Noel
It's a beautiful checkmate and he's gone.
no, because then black's queen would immediately be captured by either the b2 pawn or light bishop, depending which move you're talking about
This was extremely helpful. Super awesome opening. I’ve used it 3 times so far on chess.com and won all three games. No ones fell for the quick mate though. They usually play pawn instead of knight giving the king an escape square.
You know, if Black plays e6 on move 2, we now have a French Defense.
After the move d4 - d5, Nc3 - Nf6, f3 - ef, Qf3 the best move for black is Qh4 than what white will do black has two pawn up
@masterjosch I tried playing it out, white will be gaining a material advantage after Kxd5-Qxe3, Nxc7-Kd8 (or d7), Nxa8. White is up a knight.
The very easy way to deal with stuff like the Danish gambit et al, is simply not to take the second pawn. A smart player will also look to pitch that extra pawn back to throw off the other player; it really helps a lot in blitz!
Damn this opening is awesome. I played with a guy who tried to play around the trap and he did but he eventually lost his queen his knight and a bishop and a tiny pawn for one pawn of mine..he resigned 😀
Playing Black, I had my opponent's queen being attacked with a pinned rook, a bishop pinned by protecting the other rook. While dancing around my light bishop at g4, I positioned my knight and queen into a checkmate against a king side castle. After taking the h2 white pawn, the king moved to threaten my knight at g2. Moving my knight to protect it at f3, white made a pawn advance. I moved my queen against at h5 to set up checkmate. 2 moves later was checkmate for me. My best finish.
What if 9. Qb7 Bxd1? - White has no more Rook for checkmate.
He always mixes up his queen and king
All depends on how you play. I just beat a guy in a game who tried several tricks, but I dismantled them with good old, solid positional play and a watchful eye for traps like this. I used his own offence against him, actually, by trapping his black bishop and one of his knights after he castled. They weren't captured, they simply couldn't go anywhere. It was over the internet, so I have no idea how frustrated the poor guy was.
Nope. He was clearly referring to the Black Queen because he was moving the cursor arrow around it as he said it.
Your tutorial is the best I have seen. I especially like the flexibility.
After Nxf7+ Nxf7 Rxd8+ Kxd8 White can now take black's queen (the first check was also a discovered attack, as mentioned at a different point in the video)
Commentary made my head spin.
