In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov will show you how to refute the King's Gambit as Black. The King's Gambit is a chess opening that begins with the moves: 1.e4 e5 2.f4. White's idea behind giving away the pawn is to gain rapid development, dominate the center, castle kingside, and attack on the semi-open f-file.
The Falkbeer Countergambit is a great choice to counter the King's Gambit. It happens after 1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5. Black offers a pawn back instead of accepting White's gambit with 2...exf4. White's move 3.fxe5 is a terrible blunder as Black can play 3...Qh4+ - even the world champion Magnus Carlsen made this blunder.
After the standard capture, 3.exd5, GM Igor Smirnov recommends you to play the rock-solid 3...exf4 as it completely shuts down all the White's ideas. The Abbazia Defense allows you (Black) to develop your pieces easily, castle quickly, and dominate the center and kingside, instead of White doing that.

Good
Brilliant.
Hi Igor , thank for sharing this nice ideas about Falkbeer counter attach , I would like to comment on the final position , d5 is a mistake, black can easily play Nxd5. White does not dare to take back Qxd5 because there discover check next Bb4+ and white queen is gone
3:55 “of course, if you’re playing against Magnus Carlsen then things are really simple… but what if you were playing against someone else?” 😂
Winning move for the puzzle, Nxd5.
If he captures your knight with the queen, then he loses it, because then you play Bb4+, which also unleashes a discovered attack against his queen. No matter how he defends, you can take his queen with your queen
yep, or if youre playing a higher level opponent that realizes its a queen trap and doesnt take back, you could capture pawn with Nxd5 then if the opponent doent move his bishop you can then check the king with your queen by going queen to Qxa4, also winning the bishop. (depending how they develop)
Knight takes D5. If Queen takes D5, Bishop B4 check opens up discovery on white Queen to win it.
Awesome! Thanks for solving.
Correct
brilliant!

Please tell the best move at last
Please tell me the best move
before this even starts i know i will love the video and have my heart broken. Just like when a video comes out about how to crush the french defence.
Hi Sir,
Thank you very much for such a wonderful explanation.
I regularly watch your videos, with admiration, after my retirement, and trying to learn chess as pastime.
Regards and best wishes.
Excellent video. It is also good for Kings gambit players like myself to understand more theory for my side. I would probably take pawn on D5 with the knight because the knight is protected by a discovered check with bishop B4. (A recurring theme even for the attacking side in the Kings gambit)
Nxd5. If White plays Qxd5 then Bb4+ leads to capture queen.
Great video!
The solution is Kxd5. After white queen takes d5, the killer move would be Bb4+ which will win the queen.
Its surprising how simple it is. I played just once and remembered well
I've been battered by the King's Gambit many times. Thanks Igor 👍
a few weeks ago i faced the king's gambit for the 1st time on club level. I played the falkland countergambit. But my opponent was higher rated and she mentioned after the match that she plays it all the time, just to get exciting matches. I still got even out of the opening. Made 1 mistake in the midgame that made me loose the match.
Nxd5 followed by discovered attack :)
Weldone! Honestly, I could not find that brilliant move. I was thinking on the lines castling and Qa5+ followed by Bb4+ but overlook the simple Nxd5! Good one. 👍
@@TheAnshuman1974 It's good to check forcing lines first. Checks, captures and threats are the ones to be considered as forced moves. I looked for them and found out the correct move easily.
@@mdashrafulislam969 Yes these are the 3 things to check for. 👍
Great move!
Another possibility is a6 threatening to capture bishop if nxd5 isn't available.
Excellen! Great video 👍
Thanks GM Igor Smirnov 🎉😊
😊
So I'm a kings gambit player and will continue to be,(not afraid of this line)but I've played against falkbeer counter gambit many times, have to say your right though black does usually push the pawn however I've faced this line quite a lot aswell, I believe it's the falkbeer CG modern variation, thanks for sharing
This was excellent! I do like to fight E5 with black and I think careful study of this great video will really help me! I also looked at the white side as well which was very instructive. Also LOL I checked out some of your personal beings you have a very rich beautiful Style and your plans and thinking are very very deep have a Merry Christmas my friend!
Playing a guy right now. He did the 3rd variation where he moved the bishop to c4 and then castled. The only difference is he then played pawn to d3 instead of d4 which makes the trap variation invalid but still allow for some development
I play the King's Gambit and I love it when black plays the Falkberr
Nice. Good session! 😄😁
Thank you for this video, I lost many games as a result of the Kings gambit.
Thank you soooo much Igor
One thing I would like to see is how for white to follow through and win with the chosen opening. So many videos deal with how to combat an opening and win, but so few actually follow through. For example, I am looking for the way way to use the falkbeer variation of the kings gambit and while I see lots of ideas in this video, they all involve black taking advantage of all of white's possible moves.
Thank you so much this video got me my game to 1900
Hi Igor , thank for this lesson..
but how to continue if white doesn't take any pawn and plays 3.Nf3 ?
1.Nxd5 Qxd5 (If they don't take then it was just a full free Pawn).
2.Bb4+ (Whatever they play we will take their Queen).
the move is Nxd5 Qxd5 Bb4+ and also thanks for the video. I can finally try to beat my friend that is 2000.
I think the original position shown after taking the pawn is very good for black and very hard for white to attack.
despite having the center and the development there's just no attack.
Thank you sir, was getting so sick of losing to this
Nice analitycs from Igor. Ye, there are some moves which can confuse opponents, so they tendered to play sealy or make decisive mistake. In the past i was trapped sometimes by GM opponents, now, after take advantage of experience , I'm fishing another players on lichess.
Wow. This was good stuff. Now I may dare to play E5 again 😅
Nxd5. If queen takes pawn, then white lose the queen. Or Nxd5, then BxNc3 and bxc3, so black trades knight with bischop and pawn.
Nxd5 seems to be the answer as the d5 pawn is eliminated with black getting a knight on d5 square .. white can't take due to discoveries..
The fact that magnus still won the game after the mistake is just crazy
yes
It might be intentional actually. And he might think it’s still too easy and switch to manual king/queen swap instead.
Very helpful video
Black White
Nxd5. Qxd5
Bb4+
Amazing! Thank you.
Black plays Qxa5+ and captures Bishop. Then White plays dxN on c6. This results in equal material, I think. Isn't it right?
Qa5+ doesn't win the bishop due to Nc3 blocking the check and defending the bishop. The best move is simply Nxd5 and if Qxd5, then Bb4+ wins the queen.
After Qa5+, white blocks check and defends bishop with Nc3.
@@TheAnshuman1974 Yes. You're right. What if Nxd5 with discovered attack. Is it right?
@@RickThoreen Yes. You're right
@@TheAnshuman1974 Yes. Thank you
answer is knight takes d5 - you can't take with the queen because of bishop b4 check with winning the queen
Just make it easy and accept the gambit with 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 d6. Probably the best way with less risk to take the sting out of the King's Gambit
I never play 3. Nf3 if they accept. I play 3. Bc4
@@kaizoisevil surely then you run into the vile Qh4+ ?
@@GOOTERSHNOOTER It's not that bad. Kf1 and I'm fine.
Yes always love to gambits my king
Black to move: Nf6 X d5 .. if Qd1 X d5 then Bb4+ (check) winning the Queen on the next move 😁
Nxd5. (If white play Qxd5, black plays Bb5+, and wins the Q.)
Idk why, but my engine says that capturing the pawn with the queen letting the white knight attack it is for some reason a tiny little bit better than capturing it with the knight
That was very nice. Any suggestions about how to react against the Scotch Gambit? 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6! 4.d4 exd4 5.e5. Thank very much sir and god bless u.
5...d5 pretty much equalises straight away. 6.Bb5 Ne4 7.Nxd4 Bd7 8.Bxc6 bxc6 9.O-O Bc5 is one of the ways the game could proceed.
@@lajneen2315 Don't think so. White's play is very dangerous and far from equal. Black needs to walk on an tight rope as white can either use his pawn majority to attack on the Kside or the weak c5 square on the Qside. The position is very difficult to play even for gms.
@@user-pg3ng9wz4x What do you usually play against it after 5.e5 then? Are you getting beat quite quickly by the kingside attack?
@@lajneen2315 Instead of trying to be smart u may give a solution to the problem. If u have no solution stfu. Go it? And yes, in the variation u gave above (which is not even a variation as the plans that come after is the main issue) is very dangerous and very difficult to handle even for strong players.
This is great but white doesn't have to play 3.exd5. There are other moves like Nf3or Qe2 or Qf3.
So th King's Gambit leaves just as many weaknesses as attacking opportunities, which is a good argument for its avoidance with good players.
I have TERRIBLE stats atfer 1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5 3.exd5 e4 AND 3...Qxd5 4.Nc3, but the *3...c6 4.dxc6 Nxc6 Falkbeer Nimzowitsch Marshall Counter Gambit* is VICIOUS and has the best stats 1600-2000. I've only faced it 5 times and played 5 different moves winning 3 out of the 5, but I bet the 2 moves that weren't main line I won with confused my opponents. I've been studying it, and it is BRUTAL with a bunch of mates under 15, and in one line, a choice of FOUR different mates. no matter WHAT line you play in the falkbeer, it's a bit of a surprise. I've only faced it about 70 times out of 1,110 games.
I play King's Gambit, and win with it, but your Double Danish Gambit video makes me want to try THAT after dismissing it years ago. It seems VERY intuitive for this tactician.
1. ......... Nd5x. 2. Qd5x Bb4+
2. Nc3 Qd5x
Agree with Richard Peters
@16:38 -16:40, Instead of d4 white can counter attact our bishop wd Nd4, right! How to continue then..?? ✌
thanks
But what if
1. e4 e5
2. f4 d5
3. exd5 exf5
4. Bc4 Qh4+
5. Kf1...
Please tell me how to continue from here?
Awesome
Thanks
Welcome 😊
Nxd4 saves our knight (and gains the white Queen if she takes back)
GM Igor do you have any link for that database. The one that you use for checking the accuracy of our moves?
lichess
O!! cool idea and excellent.
Glad you like it!
About the puzzle at the end: with your style he he, he he, he he. Take the pawn with the knight. If white queen takes, give a check with the bishop and pick up the queen.
brahh. He meant for black
Queen A6 would be my move
how do you defend against Qe2+ by white?
I would play a6 attacking the white B
1 move left, what if KNIGHT C3 after knight f6?? 🤯
I know a nice trap when White plays 3.Kf3. Then we go 3...e5xd4 4.Kxe5 Kc6 5.Bb5 and we respond with... Kf6! It seems like we've lost an exchange after 6.Kxc6 dc6 7.Bxc6+ Bd7 8.Bxa8 but then... Bg4! Boom! The White Queen is trapped and if 9.Bc6+ we just push the King forward with Ke7 and win the game basically in 10 moves.
Very good
what if after black moves Nf6 then white moves queen e2 check?
What about 3 . Qe2 against the Falkbeer?
You didnt cover the main line of kc3
Fun fun.. fun... 👍👍👍
Maybe I missed something, but I don't see the link to a continuation after 2. Nf3, which was promised at 14:50 in the video.
I think its probably think link/ video he thinking about : th-cam.com/video/KNKCDRfBfII/w-d-xo.html
Its calleded a easy way for black to play against e4 (traps included).
qa5 check
👏
Night take pounds then bishop check then takes Queen.
1. ... Nxd5
Magnus Carlsen actually won that game after taking the the pawn the "bad" way... :)
Please say answer for all puzzles
Me who opened this to Play Kings Gambit more accurately against Falkbeer Countergambit 🤭
Nxd5! as QxN a mistake b'cos Bg4 ch looses Queen.
Something about Old Indian Defense
3:41 queen on h file is wrong is white responds good your losing
Looks like Magnus (DrNykterstein) won with white in that position!
It's not the Falkbeer if black plays exf4. It's just the Modern Variation.
Final position: 8....Cxd5! and it´s not posible 9.Qxd5? Bb4 wins the Q.
Qa5+, Nc3, Bb4.... But Qa5 is interesting
Black’s best move here is QH5. There’s no way white can exit the check without loosing their bishop.
Can't you simply block the check with NC3? The Knight on C3 protects the bishop on B5 so white should be good, unless I am missing something (which is very possible lol)
nyt takes d5
Nxd5
I would play queen to A5
7:05 what if they play queen f3?
Because white loses a tempo on development as black would play Nf6 for example. Remember black doesn't have to play Qh4+. I wouldn't be surprised if an engine has white losing (maybe -1 or so) after Qf3. I'm not positive, it's just a gut feeling cus by doing so white gives a slight development advantage over to black.
I was curious so I just checked Qf3 with Stockfish. It thinks that move is -0.8 so it's just safer to play Nf3, continue with normal development and go from there.
NF6xd5 and will win the Queen!
nxd5 qsd5 bb4+ wins the queen
Nxd5. Obvious.
Let’s be honest. I am not Morphy; therefore, I will not play like Morphy when I am outside book play. Most people play from memory and not from over the board strength. I am most people.
nxd5 qxd5 bb4+ you just blundered your queen bozo(also great video!)
Queen check eat that bishop
Kxd5
Queen less
Nxds
a6
