So awesome being able to rewind/pause/and study your streams! Thanks. Also, Challenge- Can’t check until you take 6 pawns. Can’t mate until you take all pawns. Also, as always, Kwak!
Yeah the key I discovered is that instead of looking for standard lines, you realize that it enables rapid development and experiment with that. Over time you start seeing the various possibilities as you play more.
A 2600 against 1700s and below. You could probably spot everyone 2 pawns and move your knight back and forth from it's original square and back again for the first 5 moves and still win. I don't consider this an endorsement for the opening, or really any opening.
@@privacyplease5164 i just see weak players lol, a good master is prepared against that cuz its easy to refute... i have like 90% against stafford i am happy people play it free elo points...
@@meltedsnowman9637 you are wrong... Grandmasters know the refutation of dubious lines, because if somebody funny tries to play dubious lines against them it will be an easy win.. and at the top lvl they do everything for a win.. i am talking about elite ofc probably not all grandmasters are super grandmasters.
@@skull-agar7722 If someone plays a dubious line, a grandmaster won’t have to prep for it and can usually beat them through their own skill and understanding of chess. Grandmasters aren’t going to waste all of their time learning long variations of different dubious lines that never get played at the highest level and that they could probably beat anyway if they just played solid positional chess. This time would be better spent learning different variations of good openings that actually get played at the highest level. Even Magnus Carlsen, the world champion, played an objectively terrible line against the Stafford in a bullet game of his, which shows he clearly hadn’t prepped for it as otherwise he would have remembered that this was a terrible line.

I’ve been trying to win with the stafford gambit but no one ever does what they’re supposed to do.

His voice is so calm and soothing, i instantly go to sleep mode. Sometimes i worry i might turn out to be a gay.
If you worry about it you probably are gay. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, so go enjoy it!
Don't worry just lean into it

It isn't an endorsement and it's just a bit of fun my friend
@@ZedExGaming to each his own I guess.
