Kieseritzky Gambit | King’s Gambit Opening Theory

- The Kieseritzky Gambit, which Spassky famously used to defeat Fischer in Mar del Plata, is the strongest continuation for white after g5, the Classical King’s Gambit Accepted.
This is the first video which covers g5, black’s best response to Nf3, the King’s Knight Gambit. It’s a very natural move, defending the extra f4 pawn and simply asking white where is his initiative and if the sacrifice was justified.
After g5, which is far more straightforward than the other defense we’ve been looking at, white has to react immediately. If white plays slowly, black will have time to reinforce his kingside pawn structure, solidify the f4-g5-h6 pawn formation and simply be a safe pawn up. This is why white immediately strikes at the pawn chain with h4!
H6 now doesn’t work because the rook is hanging on h8. Therefore black’s best try is g4, advancing the pawn and chasing the white knight off of the f3 square. White has options, but Ne5, the Kieseritzky Gambit is the most precise one.
After Ne5, black has two main responses and three (sort of weak) sidelines. The two most popular defenses are the Berlin Defense, which leads to a superior position for black in all lines, and the Kolisch Defense, which seems far more playable for white.
5...Nf6 Berlin Defense
5...d6 Kolisch Defense
5...Qe7 Rosenthal Defense
5...h5 Long Whip
5...Bg7 Paulsen Defense
My conclusion is that white is fine in every variation except for the Berlin. I believe that 5...Nf6 is a great defense for black and that, if black knows his theory well, white will seldom be able to equalize. Of course, the opening is double edged and sharp so both sides are bound to blunder at some point, but banking on that fact alone seems risky. I would recommend to play the Kieseritzky Gambit with great caution!

Love how you just casually refute the Fischer Defense like its nothing. Nice Job!
i rarely like vids but after 3 mins i knew must like must save must learn! exactly what i was looking for in depth explanations! keep on and grow I will recommend!
5…Nf6 Berlin defense 17:42
6. Bc4 mainline 23:38
6. d4 22:06
5…d6 Kolisch defense 4:40
5…Qe7 Rosenthal defense 11:48
5…h5 Long Whip 7:44
5…Bg7 Paulsen defense 14:38
I play King's Gambit very often. I love your lesson sir. Thank u
You are a great teacher! Thank you a lot!
At 5:58 I found out that Ke8 must be played and not trying to unpin with the bishop with the natural looking Be7 because of the double attack White can play with Nd5, forcing the queen to move and then the black King and rook get forked after Nxc7+. A very nice and swift attack by White which can only be stopped by moving the Black king.
(I assume you meant Kd8 rather than Ke8.) Although the knight would force the queen to move, she could go to d8 to protect against Nxc7+.
Great video! Where can I find the video on the allgaier gambit?
If you're watching this then in the Kolisch Defense (5...d6) definitely look at 6. Nxg4 Be7.
White cannot defend the h4 pawn (h5 leads to about -2.5 with Bh4+ and Nh6) and it leads to a very nice position for black in my opinion.
Sir, its my 3rd video to watch on your TH-cam channel. If you don't mind can i ask your name & you from which country? I read in "About" but you didn't mentioned anything. Will be glad if you like to tell otherwise Its OK.
Very Good & Tremendous Lecture Series on King's Gambit :-)
Thumbs Up for You !
Naveed Iqbal from Croatia and name is Stepan
He says his name at the start of most videos

Did you guys see what' happened at 7:34 ? Some sort of other worldly thing happening outside the window.
it's a tram
A good Introduction to the King's Gambit. I believe the Muzio Gambit is defined by the move 5.0-0 not by the move 4.Bc4. The Kieseritzky is actually the name of the hole line or that particular position and is not a gambit so the name "the Kieseritzky" is more precise.
In the main line, what does White do if Black plays 7.ed5 Ne4 [instead of Bd6]!? Seems very tempting for Black to go this way...or is it?!
n the Kieseritzky Gambit, after 7.ed5, Black mainly goes with Bd6...but what if Ne4 is played? How should White respond?
7:36 what the hell is that in his window??
😅
I think berlin defense mainline with Bxf4 is winning move for white. Yes white will loose the Queen but bishop rook and knight will checkmate the black. I will do analyze this move furthermore. What do you think?
You look like young Brad Pitt, and you make definitely the best videos for openings.
I heard Elon Musk before. But never Brad Pitt:D Thanks!
@@HangingPawns Much closer to Musk IMO XD
Hmmm...At 18.50, you give 9.Be2 then Rg8. So, I guess 10.Bg3 Rg4 and perhaps 11.Bf2 Rg2 but I can find no games after this!? What can Black proceed with...or will white simply ease out with a draw [or a Win?]?
Could you please cover the Quaade variation suggested by John shaw
I love king's gambit. I won many with it, but in a higher level games it was dissapointing. But still love it.
Just FYI, Andersson Defence is missing in this otherwise great tutorial
20:35 although you don't recommend this line of Nxg4, SF 15 prefers it over the other moves.
Around 29:04 instead of rook takes f4, is Nxg4 any good or bad as Bxf4?
Very nice thx I’ve seen it at least twenty times already 😂
Haha:D Glad to hear that!
my engine and masters stats seems to prefer the quade gambit with 4 nc3, after which if white goes ne5 and black plays the same way as in the mainline of the Kieseritsky then white ends up almost +1.5. I don't do that though, I go into the muzio but with Nc3 which is the variant Simon Williams recommends
in the kolish, wouldint 6.Be7 be very annoying and stong?
What about the rice gambit
Daniel King doesn't agree h4 is best here, he recommend Nc3, Quaade Gambit
Start putting this stuff on chessable and charge 5€ and you'll make a killing. A repertoire for kings gambit. I purchased one already(the only one on there) which focuses on bishops gambit and is ok but you could offer a nice alternative and you've done most of the work. Id drill these lines, but then again im an avid kings gambit player
I like to pay ...g5 because white wants to fight so I'm willing to punch them in the face. I don't want to shrink from their challenge with a boring defense against the king's gambit.
g5 is the most boring you can imagine lol
if you had balls you would play the Falkbeer ;P
@@dago6410 lol g5 is definitely more aggresive, falkbeer neutralizes the position completely
Yes these Gambits definitely work! Check out my game - th-cam.com/video/yF1GQO8KMHs/w-d-xo.html
