They only rely on the lines if the opponent decides to not follow the lines they'll get confused and don't know what to do. The Goal in Stafford is to continue to make unlimited threats so your opponent will have a headache finding all the threats and will eventually fall to the trap. Those players you've encounter are probably beginners at Stafford.

    I’ve been working on a stronger defensive game lately. Like setting up traps. All the people I run across and play they are 100 aggressive and are always on the attack. What’s starting to happen as I get better with traps is,they walk right into them. I’ve gotten pretty good at settling up wind mills. A rook & bishop working together is pretty damn deadly.

    1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 Nc6 4. Nxc6 dxc6 5. e5 Ne4 6. Qe2
    What should I play then? My engine shows Nc5 which I dont really like, is there any way to continue the attack (or another trap)? Or is it just better to back up?

    In the line shown at 2:10, what should be black's response if white moves Qf3?
    Also, what if white's fifth move (at 0:55) is pawn to f3? I thought black's best response is to move the knight Nh5, but then white responds with g3. What should be black's response now? I tried thinking of many options to deal with these situations and maintain the advantage but couldn't come up with anything good 🤔

  • @martinrlevine3511
    @martinrlevine3511 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    In the e5 line, the video neglects to mention (after Black plays Qh4) that White can play Nxe4, and White should be fine after Black plays Qxe4 inviting White's response Qe2. Black moves its Q, and White plays c3 intending d4 to protect the e5 pawn and solidify White's position.

    • @martinrlevine3511

    At 13:46 I would hate taking back the pawn opening lines against my own king and throwing away my developing advantage. I’d suggest keeping the attack going with ..h5 with the idea of putting N or B on g4 and opening the h-file.

    Very helpful, thanks. On this variation (after gambit accepted): white plays d3 protect the pawn, black plays Bc5, white plays Be3. Do you capture his bishop forcing capture with e3 and weakening king side, or do you have a better variation/trap?
