This opening gave me an important lesson, pushing f pawn in opening is not a blunder, -unless I'm doing it-
“Always play f3” 😂
Ha ha!
Us moment
F6!! .. nodders.@@MyBiPolarBearMax
He taught me about this on a premiere
Rousseau Gambit is soooo sharp.
I love how attacking it is as black but i get that it does require accurate play.
Just be prepared to lose some games (and not care about losing) until you remember each move and then long term you’ll have an incredible weapon to use in your arsenal.
I love it so much.
I learned about the Rousseau Gambit from your first video on it Igor and it is by far my most winning opening. I get a smile on my face every time the Italian is played against me.
That being said, I am again going to say that this opening requires a great amount of study to be played effectively. There are a ton of moves that are completely unnatural and intuitive. You cannot expect to fumble your way into winning or even equal positions.
Now Im gonna watch the video and see how it compares to my 1500+ move study.
What is your rating of you don't mind
Can you make a video in response to the what pawn moving to D3? I’ve been doing great with the Rousseau gambit, but I tend to lose more games with that D3 white move. Thanks, Igor!!
This is a great gambit and I too have watched your other video’s on the Rousseau gambit. But like any opening it needs a lot of work if you are to effectively implement it into your arsenal while playing black. Alas….chess is a complicated game….there is no getting away from that! Thanks Igor for adding on to your series on this fun gambit!
Love this gambit. Have been playing it a lot since the end of 2022... it makes games a lot of fun. As a Vienna player, it's also quite intuitive.
Hey Andy!
Yes!
Could you possibly please add main line for d4 move. By saying this, I mean that normal players don't attack with Queen but rather move their Bishop to b5 (6. Bb5), then our move is Qd6 - show some lines after our 6... Qd6 (for instance, if White respond a3 and other options)
Secret line for white, after f5, exf5, e5, Nd4, Nf6, Nxc6, bxc6, then Be2! After d5, Bh5 check, and black now can't castle, f pawn helps with g6 pushes, and a better game for white imo
G6 to block the check has black at -0.5 and if you trade off the pawns and take the check with the bishop black is technically -0.8 but in practical terms the entire kingside is destroyed so id rather play as white.
In reality I’d probably play Qe7 before the d5 push. Worst case you trade the bishop and queen off and then the exposure of your king matters a ton less and black still has the dominant center and open board and space while white is underdeveloped. I think stockfish has it at -1 but id be fine playing that.
Beautiful tricks.... thanks sir
Best teacher on the interwebs!
Usually i prefer americans explaining anything just for being more articulate, but the more i listen to you, the more i start to like your intonation and speed. What you lack in having an accent, you make it up with not stuttering. So here's some feedback to your speech coming from someone not being a native speaker themself.
Content was insightful as are all the other videos. You gained my subscription
Thank you Igor to made this very good video,i like this like a good variety option for my elephant gambit opening with black when this don't be good with some players.
This is one of the first gambits I ever discovered and has stayed with me all of this time. One of my favorites 😁
Madness! Love it! Your chess and the video lessons are inspirational and fascinating! You got me into the game which I thought was boring... Not at all!
Glad you found chess interesting again.
Thanks for another great lesson with clever moves💪👌
Glad you liked it!
@@GMIgorSmirnov always...💪👏
Sheer beauty this one.👍👍👍
Interesting opening ........pulled off a couple of wins . I love it !!!!!!!!! Thanks .
ohh wow this one is nice ;)
12.54 What if instead of white retreating the bishop to b3 they choose to capture black's pd5 putting black's king in check and black has to capture the bishop with their queen?
Black can't play b4 for the discovered attack on white's queen.
Awesome 🎉
🤗
I used the Rousseau Gambit against the Spanish game! I won a lot of games but also lost a few! So I would like you to analyze the variation please
Awesome.. never played this before.. but wow.. :D
Igor,
How would you deal with this:
1. e4 e5
2. N-f3 Nc6
3. B-c4 f5
4. d4 pxe4
5. Nxe5 d5
6. B-b5
The pin on the knight is effective, and pushing pawns to displace the bishop will, at best, get it to b3 so it's keeping pressure on the pawn at d5.
One of my most favourite openings of all time !
Hi Igor,in the line with c3 and Nf3+ i'd like to know how ti continue After Kf1 instead of your line.Ty
I played this a couple of times and it's excellent, thank you very much Igor! However, more than once I had the opponent moVing the Bishop from c4 to b5 after I threatened it with d5 as suggested in the video. This pinned my knight to the king and made things a lot messier later down the game. Another lesson I learned is that if the opponent's bishop threatens the knight it's best to defend it by moving Nd7 instead of castling. After castling the opponent Occasionally captures the Knight, which effectively ruins the whole gambit and also forces me to recapture the bishop with c6, ruining the pawn structure and King's defense. So overall I feel that it's better to play Nf6 and potentially Qe7 before playing d5.
I really love your videos and I play Russo gambit whenever I see Italian opening. But I was just destroyed when bishop took knight instead of his knight coming forward.
I won some games with this gambit, but I also lost with it , It's very nice but risky
Will this work if white's first move is pawn to d4?
What move do you make if your opponent plays d4?
Just executed that queen trap at the end - thanks GM Igor
Easily my favorite opening playing as black. I like the reverse of it (Vienna) as white as well as the Ruy Lopez.
I am impressed, gratified and renovated. Thank you Igor...!!

just beat someone who used the d4 refutation. he ended up losing the queen in the exact fashion that was explained. I have studied so many different variations in this Gambit. I really like it.
As a King's Gambit enjoyer, this opening is my new favourite with black!
Grand Master Smirnov, that is the best gambit I have seen in a good while. Thank you for sharing it. Thank you for making these fantastic chess videos.
It looks great on paper and on this example but opponents seldom play it out like this example…. Therefore it’s incredibly frustrating because it never plays itself out like this video
HEY IGOR, I LOVE THIS!😀😀😀
Thanks 😀
John Nunn talked about the nature of what is presented in this video in his book The Secrets of Practical Chess.
If instead of 6 Qh5+ white plays 6 Bb5 he has a strong initiative for a pawn.
Nice video
Nice
Thanks Coach. Been using this opening with a high success rate.
Excellent!
Grandmaster + psychologist = Talented teacher💥💥
I have been trying to employ this and keep running into a move that stumps me a bit...after black f5 (the gambit), white goes d3. Then it just plays out but is there anyway to still employ the tactics of this gambit if, instead of exf5 the opponent plays d3?
Odd question maybe but what about the move pawn to d3 by white as a responds?
Thanks Igor since I started watching this channel my Elo went from 600 to 910
Question: at 11:48 why not take the bishop with the pawn first, and then continue in the exact same way?
I love this gambit! I wonder why f5 is an inaccuracy instead of a book move
As a causal player playing this gambit, I can't see 4 exf5 e5 to threat the knight before I watch this video.
Instead of playing e5 as black, I always play 4 d5 and 5 Bxf5 to block the bishop to gain tempo immediately.
I keep e pawn protected by knight and develop my bishop.
What wrong if I play this variant instead?
@GMIgorSmirnov and IgorNation I won Wimbledon Congress yesterday. I used all the opening lines I learnt here and I confused all my opponents. Most of them took more than 10 minutes thinking about their 4th move. Then I used lessons from video titled secrets of strong players part1 I could just see winning crushing moves so easily. Taking is a mistake and attacking moves are the best
This gambit is sooo good, won the very first game I played it. Gobbled up so many pieces that the opponent was forced to resign.
Greetings from turkey igor
whats the difference between the rousseau gambit and the evens gambit ??
13:17 ALRIGHT, time to join the nation of domination and pure evil
The antidote of this gambit is to play 4.d4. Let's recall
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 f5 4. d4 fxe4 (4...exd4 5. e5 gives white freer position.) 5. Nxe5 d5 ( 5... Nxe5? 6. dxe5 with sufficient compensation for white) 6. Bb5 Qd6 ( 6...Bd7? 7. Bxc6 white has advantage )7.c4 with space advantage for white with idea of castling thereafter.
After white's Nd4, Nxc6, if dxc6 it transposes into a similar position to Stafford...
5:24 what if the pawn is being taken by the bishop and not the horse?
pawn B3 and bishop A3 would be nice for white at 13:38.
This will be very useful for me, as my friend plays nothing but the fried liver attack. I already checkmated him twice with the Blackburne Shilling gambit, so I think he might have caught up to it by now. This will be quite the surprise for him to deal with. 😂
Might also look into the Traxler Counterattack.
lmao your friend is like me a couple months ago.. fried liver is really addictive
OH MY GOD IGOR THIS OPENING IS INSANE!!! I went from winning like 60% of my games to winning 85%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Igor...keep recommending this dubious (poor?) opening gambit for Black, as I have played against it a few times as White recently with no losses & all wins! Clearly players are trying this probably from your videos, but either poorly understanding it or poorly playing it or both....I know little about this dubious looking gambit, but that doesn't seem to matter, as it has been easy so far to play against & do well. At least I know where to come for advice if I ever need to study it, but until then, I will not spend time analysing it. Surprised you seem to like it so much, so it must be alright if played properly by Black, but I have yet to face that. Best wishes ;-)
Can you cover the line: e4 e5, Nf3 Nc6, Bc4 f5, exf5 e4, Ng1 d5, Qh5+. Black needs to play an unnatural move with the King to maintain only a slight advantage. Many black players would blunder from here.
Is this gambit also good for white to play?
What if White plays 4.Bxg8, when 4...Rxg8 leaves Black unable to castle kingside, while after 4...fe4 5.Bd5 (5.Bb3!?) exf3 6.Qxf3, it's looking like the weakness of Black's kingside may become an issue.
after the Pawn D5 move . what if he ignores this and brings the queen to H5?
What about queen e2 instead of remove the kni
ght?
What if they defend their pawn with another pawn would that not completely refute the gambit?
Also I found out that when you attack the Queen if the Queen does not retreat to d1 then take the pawn on b2 with your knight getting a free pawn and forking the king and rook
I studied this video, and wrote down all the moves, then to play this but my opponent did not move anything like in your example!!! Therefore I was screwed and didn’t know what to do and how to play it!! This is extremely frustrating!!!
700 Elo behavior
Just make sure you play Qd6 after Bb5 in the d4 line.
Rousseau and Vienna carried me from 1000 to 1400... 😂 It's sooo fun to play.
The First game I used the Rousseau Gambit I destroyed my opponent and he quit.
Thanks for sharing this wild Opening!
when they accept the rosseau gambit what if white goes KE5 what do you do
This worked so well in 1400s, but as I got to 1600, very few people took the pawn at all.
I couldn’t but wonder that the whole time, what if white just plays 4.d4? I would just do that and take my chances and I’m half that rating😅
I play against a 1600 rated computer, but it never takes the pawn and I can't get anything close to even resembling a Rousseau gambit. It goes for Bishop to b5 (Rui Lopez) attacking my c6 knight and it doesn't capture my f5 pawn with its e4 pawn. Instead it keeps developing and keeps defending that pawn while developing. I suppose this opening is not for 1500+ even though it looks damn sweet.
How about if white choose to capture the sacrifice d5 pawn by His bishop instead of 8. Nxd5!
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc5 f5 4. exf5 e4 5. Qe2 Qe7 6. Ng1 Nf6 7. Nc3 d5 8.Bxd5!? Instead of(...Nxd5)
Great video- but what if your opponent does not take c4-do you then just develop your pieces?
White can just play bishop C4 or pawn f3 to stop the attack at 5:51.....
I used to spam the Fried liver, Traxler, pianissimo, and Evans Gambit, but I ran into a player who studied this gambit and gave me PTSD. I looked at the lines afterward, thought it was too complex, and decided to stop playing the Italian lol.
In 1st var, e5 atk bishop. But what if queen a5? (Danger level)
How about 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 f5 4. d3 Bc5 5. c3 f4 6. O-O Nf6 7. d4 exd4 8. cxd4
Bb6 9. Bxf4 Na5 10. Bd3 O-O 11. Bg5 Qe8 12. Nc3 c6 13. b4 Nc4 14. Bxc4+ d5 15. exd5 1-0
That c3 and d4 push just kills me every time, centre just gets completely destroyed and black has nothing. Any suggestions?
Don't play 5...f4 because it is a blunder, 5...fxe4 is what I play, 5...d6, although the engine hates it is also quite playable.
What if they play 7.Qxd5 instead of checking your queen in the d4 lines?
I love this opening at around 1450, there are ways black can go wrong but more for white... I also learned the d4 response from Igor and I crush ppl that try this against me
My problems with this gambit come after f5...bxg8 and takes my knight. Then, I take back with rxb8 and I can’t castle kingside.
Learned chess in the 80's. Won a lil trophy at my local library. Then lost when I played in downtown against other players. Gave up chess. Now picking it up again in 2023.
When I say IGOR, you say NATION! IGOR! NATION! IGOR! NATION!
7:19 After Bd5, Qg5 is stronger than the pawn push.
Hmm, then that removes all the discovered check options for later.
@@dnomyarnostaw But after say Kf1 to defend the g2 pawn, Bg4 is a double attack, hitting white's queen and the central bishop.
Unfortunately my opponents almost never take the f pawn
It does seem to be getting more rare, fortunately all the lines are tricky as hell.
I played this opening on a bot once, and the bot fell for it. It was a 1600 rated chess bot. It was a fun game for sure. I haven't used it yet on a human opponent, would love too if I get the chance.
This is The Kings Gambit for black
Why cant the bishop just go to c4 to stop the attack at 5:51
a little bit tricky if played as white
So this gambit is the black version of vienna
I've done something like this in a random game. Its far from exacting but that pushed pawn won me a game I was almost assured to lose. I also allowed my opponents queen in my back rank kinda like demonstrated in this video. My opponent had such a massive advantage they took their eye off the ball for a counter attack. That pushed pawn is a major reason I ended up winning. Hope you enjoy.

Actually I'm playing a 900 daily rated opponent who played pawn to d3 on the 4th move 😅
but you didnt talk about d3??
what if white plays D3?
why do u upload same gambit 5 times :)
NEVER AGAIN
Tried this 20 times after studying the video. Lost ALL 20 games to players in the 800-900 ELO Range.
The primary problem with this gambit is you hardly ever get to play it. People just don't play Bishoip c4, they play bishop b5. Only ONE player did and of course declines the gambit. I was fried livered and resigned in 7 moves. That's the closest I got. Rousseau Gambit - Not For Me
just skill issue
