Surely this should be called the "white elephant" gambit, as it's basically the elephant with a bishop on c4.
*Random fun fact:*
The very first time in my life that I was ever aware of the existence of Johnathan Schrantz was in 2018 or 2019, when I watched a video called "The Unbeatable Urusov Gambit."
It was a lecture on the TH-cam channel of the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis, also known as CCSCSTL, and the lecture was presented by our very own Vampire Chicken, because he was still gainfully employed by them at the time that the video was released. 😂
*Follow-Up Fun Fact:*
It would take another four to five years for Johnathan to be aware of *my* existence, as it is possible that he *still isn't,* despite the fact that I have been following his content since I watched that first video, I continue to comment on just about every chess video he posts (as well as some of the Riskier videos), *and* we've played at least one game of chess against each other.
If you're at all curious, the game happened because Johnathan hosted a tournament on Lichess for his Twitch subscribers and I ended up playing him in the second round; we were very much *not* paired against each other based on our respective ratings. The result was that I ended up resigning within the first 20 moves.
You see...I was going through a phase where I was playing the French against 1. e4, and ol' Zolpi Orthoschnapped the bejeezus out of me. His first video on the Orthoschnapp had just come out less than a week before the game, so I was at least aware of the line, but...when I tried to remember what he said was the best defense against his gambit, I was only able to recall a handful of the moves. In remembering the general ideas but not the actual moves, I ended up getting myself into an overly complicated position for no reason, and eventually blundered my queen and insta-resigned.
I actually went back after the tournament was over and watched the VoD of the stream, so I could see what he said about my play. When I blundered my queen, as soon as I made the move Johnathan said "Oh, he just blundered," but the notification that I had resigned popped up on his screen before he even finished his sentence, because I saw that it was a blunder as soon as I let go of the mouse button to drop the piece.
...up to that point, though, he was pretty complimentary of my play. I actually still consider that one of the brighter achievements of my chess career (that Johnathan, whose FIDE rating is 1974, actually seemed to think that I was playing well, not just that I have played him). 😁
*Third and final fact:*
I looked up Jonathan's FIDE rating to make sure I had it right before I put it in this comment, and in doing so I learned that I am actually older than he is. The FIDE listing shows the year you were born next to your rating(s) and the country you represent, and Johnathan was born in 1988. That means he's either 34 or 35, depending on whether or not his birthday has already happened this year.
...I'm not sure exactly how old I thought he was, but I definitely thought he was older than 35. Not sure why, really...I certainly don't think he *looks* old. **Shrug** I'onno.
*No offense intended by that, Johnathan!* 😂
The funny thing is the last time you had this position the opponent DID play 11…Ne4 and it confused the heck out of you for a long second before you just took the knight! I remembered that one because it cracked me up when the opponent immediately resigned. Source: video uploaded 6/2/23
You're right! That's too funny!
Good stuff! Fine example of the Bobby Fisher saying: " Tactics flow from a superior position" . Which is something you must learn to create and trust. And then spot. The rooklift was very instructional, and the knight move was icing on the cake. Thx! The Urusov is a better display of a players talent than gambits that requires memorisation of unlikely computermoves.
Great words!
I love this type of content! Playing your "own gambits" with a brief analysis/theory explanation afterwards! Thanks
Hope vacation was good
It's interesting that in a lot of these Bishop's Opening type gambit positions, an early c6 by black is often one of his best moves, threatening a quick d5 to nullify that pesky piece with the pointy hat.
Great stuff. I play a lot of gambits myself with different rates of success. But I saw the lines immediately here. So this might work for me.
Great game Johnathan!
if you ever stop making these i'll be super mad
At 3:43 does 15Rh3 merit consideration, threatening mate on h8? If ...Bh3, then 16 gh and the threat of Rg1 and the open g-file looks dangerous. The N on f6 cannot move as h7 is then en prise, so how would Black stop Rg1 and then something like Ne6 discovered check.. In addition after 16 gh, it looks like White also threatens Nd5 and again the black N is unable to leave f6. Not sure how Black would survive. He can move one of the minor pieces to h7 to prevent Qh8# but then WHite just captures and ...Bg5+ isn't a refutation as the g5 square is momentarily still sufficiently defended by the White N on h7. WOrth a look-see?
This looks complicated. How long will it take to learn this opening?
I’m starting to think we won’t ever get another main channel vid 😢
wohhoo love these chess vids
Feeling stupid, but what is W's move if B plays ...Ng4 after Bxh6 ? I didn't see it in the engine analysis.
If 11. ...Ng5 then 12. Bg5 is very strong with immediate threats on the h-file and the potential to increase the attacking pressure no matter what Black does
Bg5, moving out of the way of the Knight and protecting the Queen
Just Bg5 and you keep mounting the pressure
I feel like ive already seen this guys face in the past but yhis is the first time ive seen this video weird
TH-cam algorithm doing it's magic. Welcome!
