I started of playing the danish gambit, and it was a week after i began playing chess. I was around 1000 rating, but the day after i was 700. Three weeks passed and i had been playing the danish on repeat, and my rating was 1530. To summarize you need to study with computors and get experience in those attacking situations.
Im been playing Busch-Gass gambit and Ross Gambit for like a month now and when it works, easy +8 elo. When it doesn't work... I pray that they run out of time.
That is the problem with chess as you go higher up. Its become a game of memorization and knowing the openness and gambits Thats why pieces should all be mixed up
and that's called "gambit" ... should not even worry about queen sac if going for real gambit .. but cares about pawn lol still nice though.. not acting smart or anything , i admit that i suck pretty much but Tal's Games just over entertained me, and kinda boring to see going for a pawn in a so called Gambit..
I like long term Gambits. So right now I'm letting all my friends beat me again and again and again and again. But it's all part of my 17 year gambit to slowly build their confidence then I'll strike
I haven’t actually played chess in over 10 years and I stumbled upon this side of TH-cam and I’m literally in love all over again. Thank you for the content :)

I have watched your videos for a year ... and will probably watch them for years to come!
This was one of my favorites. 10 minute games are one of the best formats to watch you because we get more analysis. And watching you play gambits is much more fun than watching the London every game.
Eric put one sugar packet in his tea just to try it, now he's double dipping that raw, uncut honey live every day. Please come back to us Eric, your friends and family are praying for you
i've been watching you lately, and you've become my favourite player. the fact that you play gambits for the fun instead of sticking to the solid and still gets great rartings, you are awesome.
Wow, really impressive stuff. I followed along with several games with Stockfish running to see if/when you would make up the disadvantage. At several points, the computer spit out a quiet move that I think few would consider, and you immediately considered it. Also, several times your flurry of arrows exactly matched the computer evaluation.
I love your stuff, Eric. Calming and precise chess. For other viewers, in the Halloween Gambit at 1:09:21 - the critical move here is actually d5 (Ne5, f4, Ng6, now e5, Ng8).
When the opponent simply left the game, it illustrates how powerful it can be to just get someone out of their prep and force them to play chess. That guy imploded.

Urusov Gambit is worth learning in the event of ever achieving the position; it's super fun for white and not fun at all for black. 90 percent don't allow the Urusov lines but if they do, it's friggin awesome to have it in your repertoire. Any time I try to play a Rut Lopez, is grounds for my opponent to walk into the Urusov.
Great time. But unfortunately lose the last time. From the last games, you got blunder and make you lose. I learnt many tactics and planning skills from you game. Thank for your sharing.

I took a screenshot of your Gambit list & tried playing them. I can proudly say that now im 200 elo points less on lichess
lol, every gambit i've ever tried has also ended horribly for me. my problem is i can't capitalize on lead in development to mount attacks.

You're yelling off gambits and I'm just sitting here thinking that pawns move forward and knights make L shapes...
34:50 "I don't think this has a name" haha you know it's a quality opening when it's not even named :D
ah yes, gambits. I have my own version of the King's Gambit, but instead of e4, e5, f4. I just sacrifice my king in the hope of mercy...
Kinda like a French gambit?

Gut wrenching finish, but such a good series of games. Thanks for all the quality vids.
These Gambit videos are amazing. I'm a beginner just playing the London for lack of any better idea and wishing I could play more like this.

He check
He attack
but most importantly:

Thank you, I was literally questioning myself if the knight was hanging after bishop h3... Just because he didn't see it. (And I am not even talking about the fact that it's a free rook too)
A kind of Kramnik moment. He's known for overlooking strong moves but surviving anyway.
Came to the comments to find this. That was the best move by miles. Guaranteed rook capture with a potentially discovered check.
Yep I came in comments as well to find this. Too much tea and talking
Eric: Sac pawns and a piece, invents new gambit on the fly, crushes opponent with overwhelming force.
Also Eric, to opponent: "Tough game"
This man needed the gundam gambit I’m telling you
24:19 Is it just me or could Eric have lost a rook here if black checks the king and forks the rooks.👀
