CRUSH the dubious ENGLUND GAMBIT

Hello everyone! The Englund Gambit is an opening feared and heavily played at beginner-intermediate level. Despite the fact it is completely lost objectively, almost nobody actually knows how to beat it!. To combat this, I will teach exactly how to beat the Englund Gambit.

Really good video And explanation great work🎉🎉

[@rocketsetch]

NG5 is an absolutely savage move love it

[@dragonore2009]

Since there are allot of folks that know these traps. As black, I tend to play the Englund gambit: Rosen trap, since that one isn't as well known.

[@kunsonzhao3849]

Love the vid, I’m a huge fan of chess and I love watching opening vids! Great work

[@Volclus]

Thank you!

Nice video :-) BTW: if at 8:25 Ke8, it's mate in 5, provided white takes the c7 pawn with his or her d knight ;-)

[@tominmo8865]

I've had great success (100%) against 1000-rated players with 1. d4 e5 2. d5, decline by pushing, and shutting down 2. ...Nc6. No idea if this is sound, but it has always worked. I think they don't know what to do with 2. d5. Everyone seems to expect 2. dxe5. I believe the "official" decline is 2. e3. Good video, thanks.

[@xiuqingsun3466]

As an England gambit player I have an easy time playing against people who decline the gambit...So yeah

5:35
Can't black just go ba5? And if we do bxe5, then black goes qxe5, forking the king and the knight?

[@Volclus]

Then Rb5! Attack the bishop and force them to make a decision, and if they drop back to b6 then we sacrifice the rook, then play Nc7+ forking and completely winning

[@TweetyFam]

@@Volclus Ohh I see...thanks!

[@TweetyFam]

@@Volclus I have one final doubt...why are you still at 7k? You really deserve a lot more than 100k man!

[@simonmartin2964]

@@Volclus Hi, yeah but then if you take the rook with the h pawn, after the fork, black can get back the knight with the queen. But even though black is still underdeveloped and can't rock.. pretty bad position

[@evillegend3145]

Ng5 is just o savage

[@jarjarthestar]

what if they go bishop a5 instead of exchanging bishops

[@TweetyFam]

5:45
Stockfish says that at this point black should play kd8. And this move actually prevents the future white move qc3, as the queen will be guarding the square. Yea, black can't castle, but black's pieces are so active. What shall I play at this point?

[@Volclus]

Many good options, but I would recommend a simple e4. Get your bishop out to c4, safely castle, and there is no immediate win here but black's positions is just miserable and over time they will crumble.

[@TweetyFam]

@@Volclus Okay thanks!

[@CheckmateOriginal]

How to learn all this ??

[@debajyotisarkar8936]

7:09 what if they play d6 to defend the knight rather than f6? Nice video btw!!

[@Privacysavingname]

It doesn't seem like it would change much. You could still do Ke5+

[@TemphinFD]

​@@Privacysavingnameyou can also just go for Qc7 instantly

[@justanotheryoutubechannel3102]

NOPE! 2...d6, Scandinavian Gambit style

[@chessWoRpire1449]

You can't crush the englund Gambit
Because that gambit is garbage
I did look at the video I just read the title
Don't believe me I known best for a long time

[@Volclus]

Maybe you know, but so many others don’t!

[@ZeusGodPro]

Just crusted an opponent by playing this lol this is awesome

[@whoiamagain]

After playing for 1 month I can say englund Gambit is literally trash and no one play it

[@PooCassoX]

I’ve used this maybe 5 times now since I first watched this a couple weeks ago 😂 thank you so much 🙏

[@ambidextrousspin2271]

Thanks for this very nice video. But what should the whites play if the blacks play Ba5 after Nd5 from the whites ?

[@kishansingh7006]

Nicely explained chad

[@aljiao]

Thank you for the vid, I never knew how to counter against the englund gambit until this came out. After this, I can now punish against the people who use the englund gambit

[@bardoencheerdio427]

Just crushed someone using this. Sweet. They did every move just as you said

[@newyorkslim2001]

I love this gambit and use it every time white opens d4. Therefore I think this video is highly subversive and should be taken down before my future opponents see it.

[@Volclus]

:)

[@gouravchouhan1790]

First time watching your video, its amazing

[@achessdrez]

muchas gracias

[@caroljung1310]

5:38 why should black trade instead of moving the bishop to a5?

[@francogaray3273]

Rook b5 wins there..but is very hard to see if you don't know it

[@hideous_taco_michael_zacki]

The best way to evade Englund's gambit is not playing a goddamn d4.

[@Jeremo-FD]

Ew.

[@sietsejohannes]

The best way to evade the Englund gambit in the long term is to just beat the dumb asses of everyone who plays it.

[@idisplaypace2411]

My advice: Don't play boring D4, have fun with E4!

[@viavilie9877]

E4 is boring
