🔹The BEST Chess Opening Against 1.e4 - Every Move is a Trap! - • The BEST Chess Opening...
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov talks about the most trickiest and trappiest chess opening gambit for Black against 1.e4. It is the Rousseau Gambit (or Ponziani Countergambit) from the Italian Game (Giuoco Piano), which happens after the opening moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 f5.
This gambit has a lot of tricks and traps along the way which helps Black to win within just 10 moves in these lines. GM Igor Smirnov also answers the most common questions asked by the students, walks through the most common responses of White, and shows you how to punish them.

Qe2
Thanks for helping us with those links.
I picked up this this opening as my rebuttal to the Italian after your last video on it and it has served me well, gaining lots of ELO, but here is a warning for anyone who wants to play it. This line is very very complicated, and there are a ton of best moves that are totally unintuitive.
Agree. It requires proper study.
it's great. I'm not a great player- round 1000- but my win rate on this is over 60%
I got checkmated many times while playing this
@@bluedr4ken259 As Black or White?
@@bluedr4ken259u will because there are obviously better move for white that this youtuber didn't even mention like when white queen was under attack he can also attack black queen with development of bishap. Also there was bishap at g2 move when white night came to centre. That would vanish all black attack and white was doomed
Qg3 since the pawn on f4 is pinned. If fxg3 then Bxg5. Black has still a strong position. If the black Queen goes somewhere, then either QxBg4 or Qh4 depending where the black Queen goes to.
This video came out just at the right time for me. I've been studying the Vienna opening, then discovered the jaenisch Gambit against the ruy lopez. I was instantly attracted to it because of its similarities to the Vienna Gambit. I'm really happy to see this used against the Italian as well. It makes for a simple transferable open between white and black that covers several different openings simultaneously.
Cool, now you're prepared all around
i absolutely love this guy
really helpfull , thank you
1.Qg3 looks like the way to go. White can take Black's Queen if 1. ... fxg3 and if 1. ... Qh5 or Qg6 then 2.Bxf4 leaves White down two pawns for a piece but White is not getting immediately mated.
f2 is pinned, remember?
Well done!
@@siegfreidgaming3359 Commenter was talking about the black pawn on f4
Igor, awesome opening!! Anks for the lecture.
GREAT REAL BEST STUFF AS ALWAYS !
I'm learning the Vienna. Saw this. I figured if I learn both I'll be a master of many lines of similar halves on each side of the board
Thanks, man. This is a great opening. You're fun to follow. Keep it up!
I appreciate it!

Qg3 🙂
This beautiful opening is like a Vienna Gambit with black! (I love the Vienna Gambit)
For d3, you said to reply with bishop out. Can't they just take the pawn with the knight and when we take back, they have fork of our bishop and knight.
I play this Gambit because of you and can't get enough of these variations
Don't remember it all but I'm remembering enough to go from 800ish to 1279 and I have playing it... when I play it the move that annoys me most is when the opponent plays Bishop B5 in the opening instead of going for the fried liver type attack
Another Great lesson 👍 thanks GM. Igor Smirnov.
Mostly scenario of chess games went this way, I guess.
Excellent
Have been using the Rousseau, Lucchini and Jaenish (against Ruy Lopez) gambits for about six months now. It's a lot of fun, and can be effective in faster time formats. Also great because I'm a Vienna player as white. I do sometimes get myself in trouble as I'm a Caro Kann player usually... and there's lots of patterns I don't yet recognize or know with d5 defence.
Good to know it serves you well!
@@GMIgorSmirnov it does.. and it's great fun. Thanks for providing great educational resources.
Great video. I love this gambit and it's very unknown at my rank. I'd love if you'd make a video defending against the scotch gambit since there's so few videos covering ideas against it
Ok, noted
Great. This is by far my favorite opening and I learned it from you!.
But I still miss a lot about the 4. d3 Bc5.
There are so many options more common than the ones presented. One is 5. Be3, ok no more attack plans (at least for this newbie here), another is if the proposed combo after 5. Ng5 lands and the opponent instead of castling does the very very natural defense with pawn g3 against your Queen. Again, all over.
In the line you mentioned 5.Ng5-f4 6.Nf7-Qh4 indeed 7.g3 is better than castling but Black still has a fierce attack after 7...Qh3.
Thank you for this video👍👏💪
Welcome 👍
Love it!
Nice .. thank you.
For the quiz. Qg3 can cause a pause in the attack
Great!
Qg3
Super explicat!❤

You such a Gem of person
From Egypt with love 💖
You said that and i quote '' The good move is another one, we gone talk about that in a moment'' and you have never mention it. The move d4
You're right. Nevertheless the D4 line was covered in his first video.
I was waiting for that part as well.
I'm sorry if I missed it. You may find it covered here th-cam.com/video/Y6-RXOh50_w/w-d-xo.html
@@GMIgorSmirnov did you check my unexistant gambit????
You are my go-to, thank you for all your content, Igor. Would you mind letting us know if some of these traps work best for blitz games or longer timed games? My son and I play an OTB game where typically each of us make a move once a day when we have the chance. I thought it would be nice to distinguish which traps work best depending on which time limit that you choose. Maybe too much to ask, but I thought if you mention that the trap in your videos works best in a blitz, bullet, or longer timed games might be helpful. Thanks so much.
That is up to you man. It depends on your style. Modern chess is just memorization (sooo boring).. All the creativity and fun has been sucked out of it. Chess is not an exact science. Look at the top players breaking every rule in the book. You have to find your own unique style... you are splitting hairs here, but someone else cant tell you what time frame suits what best for you specifically. That depends on so many variables. My solution.... get creative. Chess is as much psychological as it is tactical. For me, memorizing lines absolutely dulls the game, so I watch these videos once, get a general idea and move on to using my own creativity during games.... way more fun. Ive played chess my whole life...never studied it once, but have become decent through trial and error. Cheers
Hello Mr. Igor, can you please cover the (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 f5 4. Bxg8 Rxg8 5. d4!) line? I have been facing it quite a lot and I have little success. Thanks! This video helped though.
That is nice, but I would like coverage on pxd4. If that is the objective best move for white to play, it would be nice to know what to play to avoid disadvantage.
I’d like to see a TH-cam chess tournament of these YT chess gurus!
This is great. I've been finding it difficult responding to this opening by white
Gotta be Queen G3 since the F4 pawn is pinned to his queen. Trade those off and you've mostly neutralized black's attack.
Great video!! I feel like if white finds d4 break after black has played f4 it gets little bit scary.
Around 7:47… instead of Nxe4, would the Greek gift work on bishop takes h2 check, king takes h2 then Ng4 check followed by qh4 with unstoppable mate on h2 unless queen takes knight….?
the answer is Bxf4 counter-attacking the queen and after exf4 we play h4 again counter-attacking the queen after the queen captures we capture the pawn. In the end our is queen but we lost our bishop
Good day GM.. out of all your books where should I start.. should I start from the grandmaster secret's? Or is there any orders to where to start and finish last.... Thank you very much 💖
"The GM's Secrets" is a good one to start with. Another good option is "The Grandmaster's Positional Understanding". These courses lay solid foundation for your further chess progress.
In the iteration of white knight going to g5 and counterattack with black queen and knight….what do you do if the white rook doesn’t take the knight on f2 but instead goes queen e1?
Igor, thank you for all your great videos! In this video, at 9 minutes 24 seconds into the video, what if white, instead of 1. Nd2, plays 1. B x d5 check?
Interesting line. Could easily lead to black just having a Q and white having B, Kn, R.
I'm very low level, i was doing ok but then started learning more and did worse, finally i did the RCA masterclass and that was the nail in my coffin, every aggressive low level player (
the opening that took me from 600-900 is the polish, its very fun to play and rewarding
Nice video👍
Thanks 👍
Very cool "defense" 👍
What software do you use to make your videos?
I'm really desperate for a good anti e4 gambit (I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SCOTCH GAMBIT and I play literally nothing else with white, the best thing is, it's on the board 9 from 10 times I start with 1.e4)
I was thrilled when I heard about the Rousseau about a month ago but was disappointed soon and after some more research I came to the conclusion that it's just too dangerous and difficult. But now I know a good continuation after 4. d6 (I'm aware 4. e5 is more critical and the correct refutation but that isn't played at my level I guess) I'll give it a few more tries. Otherwise I go back to my freestyle gambits
Having trouble with this after white plays d3 then Bg4. Seems to lead to lots of problems. Can anyone help?
Would Queen E1 be a better move for black instead of took E1?
14:00 h4, queen takes, g3, then you have an escape square for the queen
Thanks, but could you give the continuation with d4?
great video, about 1950 rating and this helped a lot
Glad you liked it!
10:13 - here is link for this line: th-cam.com/video/Y6-RXOh50_w/w-d-xo.html - 10:56
I love how he just ignored Nf2 King&Queen fork here 8:45
You’re delusional
Can we use this Gambit for 30 min rapid game??
Guys, just be aware, after 4. ...d3 Bc5 5.exf5 don't go after that pawn with 5....d5. It complicates the game for black with the 6. Bb5. Rather try going for a developing move like Nf6
It's like a transposition out of the sharpest line of the Latvian Gambit (Greco Counter Gambit). 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 f5 3 Bc4. My old edition of ECO doesn't give Nc6 as an option here, people had only tried fxe4 and b5?! So are White's chances best here if he simply allows fxe4 to happen? Ne5 is normally a thematic move in this line of the Latvian, so Nc6 is actually a rather effective counter.
Its a nice trap
You had us at "...this bad boy" (!!) ...0:01
What happens if White moves the Knight to G5 after Black's pawn captures D4?
You forgot about if accept they go to d4 with the knight and if you take they check you with the queen and are up a lot
if white move 1.qg3, rf8 2.any move of white, pxqg3. 3, bxg5 ,pxf2 check 4.kh1 ,be2 black is advantage position
Does d4 work for white immediately after ...f5?
Привет из Севастополя!
Qe2
What if you push the pawn white play queen e2 to pin the pawn to the king?
Just met this as white for the first time. This is how it went. 4. d4 exd4 5.Nxd4 fxe4 6.Nxc6 bxc6 7.Qh5+ Ke7 8. Qe5++
Bust to the Rousseau Gambit:
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 f5
4. exf5! as with most gambits, the first step is accepting it.
4... e5
5. Nd4!! Nxd4
6. Qh5+! And black is busted. If black plays differently he looses differently
there are 2 options:
bishop F4- pawn H4
or
queen G3
13:23
h4, Qh4
g3, f4->3
Qf7 check, King-d8
then i don't know :)
The one time i get good elo after playing various italian lines theres a good anti italian...
Its fine though it makes me rethink whether or not i earned the elo
Indeed, a the great Kings gambit for black: Rouseaux.
Au lieu de Cxf5 Cxc6. Est ce que vous avez envisagé cette variante dans l'étude ?
Looks very much like a delayed king's gambit. Perfect!
I go to the lichess analysis board and enter many of these gambit positions to know, what the engine thinks of them. Often I forget that it's for some reason in threecheck mode by default and get completely flabberghasted when I see mate in 6 by white after f5.
😀
This gambit is so powerful and tricky. It is so effective to gain free elos!
😎
I lost my match using this against a 1183 fide rated 💀
I had this played against me. Game is not finished so I am not yet sure what Black's error was. I played Nc3 then d5, Nxe5, dxc4, Nxc6, bxc6, Qh5, e7, Qc5, Ke8 Qxc6, Bd7, Qxc4. Yes, my opponent was up a bishop vs 3 pawns but the king cannot castle, Black's centre pawns are all gone, and all but one Black piece is in its starting position. I later won the bishop back and have the pawn advantage in the end game.
After f5 BxNg8 I was pulling for fxe4 hitting Nf3 so black can retain castling but after Bb3 exN Qxf3 White threatens mate and Qe7 is kinda ugly with no d5 available… but a knight sac after f5 BxNg8 fxe4 Bb3 d5!? Gives black a big positional edge, easy development and the knight has to retreat….
11:05 white plays d4 and black's position falling apart.
...B:d4, N:d4 N:d4, B:f4
...N:d4, N:e5 then pawn f4 is almost impossible to defend
...ed, Nd5 again f4 is lost, white have better development and d4 pawn is weak
Also 4th move for white - d4 and black is in trouble.
what if bishop b5?
What about if white play Bg5 attacking black queen before that black play f4 ?
Is there a way to counter White's 5.Nc3?
Is Kh1 the move?? It opens a counter attack on the queen
When pawn to F5 is played, I’ve captured and then when they push their pawn to hit my knight, I play Queen E2 pinning it, and luckily for me that’s a variation not covered in the video
It is covered in the original video. Black matches with Qe7. The white N usually moves away and then the black Ns can come up and create a fork or mate.
Qe3!!
The move is Qg3.. eventhou white doesn't loose on the spot, i would rather play with the black pieces there :D
For the quiz I considered h4 but tbh I would probably play queen takes bishop, the reason is that white is lost already so why not at least get some material for the queen.
I missed whites black squared bishop, queen g3 looks good
this reminds me of the vienna but for black
I approve of this message
f4 to cut off the White king side fails to Nxe5, and if Nxe5, then d4 regains the piece for White? Igor, can you comment about this?
What if at 11:00 white plays knight g5 threatening to go in f7, I guess queen e7 but white can check with the bishop and black has to move the king
this is the Vienna gambit but for black.
Yup that's it :)
Jip.
It's not the Vienna. Vienna is a white opening. Otherwise, the English is actuality just the sicilian or vice versa.
U r 2 gud
@@LukeVee0 The English has a reversed sicilian line.
For the White's best move: the pawn from h2 to h4 to attack their queen
They could just take the pawn with the queen and ur queen still attacked by the bishop. I think move the white queen over so they have to take pawn then opens the X-ray attack from white bishop possibly trading queens
On 2:26 why he said that it is resignable I dont understand because white has losen just one piece so how?
At 10:28 instead of castling white captured my f5 pawn i played d5 but i couldn't know how to continue
At 5:07 what if queen takes undefended H pawn first?
At 9:35 there are interesting alternatives to White's Kxh3. Rg1, Re2 and Qe2 all look plausible ways of stopping the mate on g2. Rg1 fails to the attractive Qg3+ Kh1 Nf2#, a variant of a smothered mate! I think both Qe2 and Re2 are met by Qg3+ Kh1 Rf2! At 7:50 I was wondering if the Greek gift sacrifice of Bh2+ was already possible, followed up by Ng4+. But White's pieces may be just mobile enough to defend, including the QB unlike the corresponding line on the French Defence. 4 d3 looks a more logical continuation, and maybe exf5 can then be tried rather than letting Black get f4 in. And 4 d4 is surely worth consideration, again by analogy with corresponding lines in the Latvian/Greco CG. Overall this is the kind of line where the better prepared player is quite likely to win, especially if they are good tactically.
How should Black respond if White were to play the move 4. d4?
There is something i don’t get…
@5:08 why is white not moving to H7 ? To me it seems 100% logic to do that ?
1.Qg3 fxg3
2.Bxg5 gxf2+
3.Kh1
QG3- If pawn takes Queen - White Bishop takes Black Queen -- SAVED the Queen
33.30 min. Qe2 shall put the opponent (black) to "open #" and that move is not allowed. Or 0-0 and next Re1
5:46 the queen could fully take the pawn on e4 putting king in check. And from what I can tell, with little consequence
But then the queen just gets captured by the pawn that was protecting e4.
@@thereisnotrySWM oh duh, I. see now
I was waiting for fried liver attack
Qg3, right?
What happened to 4. d4?
seems to cover all white options except White: P to D4. or, did I miss it?
Yep same! Can’t see it, this is the scotch opening for white
