IM Levy Rozman aka GothamChess is back with another 10-minute chess opening video on the Evans Gambit and Nakhmanson Gambit. This is Agadmator's and Leela's favorite opening, so it must be amazing.

9:10 - 9:15 Levy you got some bars there
True
dont forget 10:58 - 11:04
Hes too powerful
?
played like a potato
Whenever he says "You're almost never going to face this" it ends up being the most popular choice of my opponent. It seems that this is what people remember the most from the opening. Like, "yeah, I wanna be special and play this line". I guess. It happened to me with the Danish Gambit and the move Queen to e7 guarding the pawn on f7 after being attacked by the bishop and possibly the queen in alignment.
true..opponents are also watching gothamchess 😂
I blame Levy for 66% of my opponents playing Caro-Kann with black
HI Levy, Do you think its better to play "takes, takes, takes" or "captures, captures, captures"?
haha
Or Castle’s Castle’s
I think it's better to play castles castles
Takes takes captures then there you have a beautiful mate
I think Bing Bang Boom is better
i actually think double crossing apple saucing your opponent is better
Actually hillarious how he pins the hate comments, love every bit of it!

@@ffsgaming8254 sorry
watched after watching agadmator's evans gambit
Welcome to the channel
Same
Don't forget chess talk
Me too... ;-)
Same, odd Levy doesn’t show the line with the bishop capturing with check on f7, forcing recap and activating queen with check, but I suppose agad already showed it... just wanted levy’s opinion on that line as I know he doesn’t recommend beginners activating their queen too early...
if someone plays like this against you i would be extremely suspicious
which is one of the reasons why the nakhmanson gambit is so vicious
Fried liver is really interesting too I'm glad you showed it. Also the giuocco piano where you play 4.c3 instead of 4.b4 the Evans, is extremely interesting. It's like an Evans Gambit where you are now going to star to try and sacrifice your b and c pawns. I would love to see a video on the guioco piano or I could even make one for you if you want. I love that 3. Bc4 move. 😍
@@ALF8892 if someone knows traxler counter attack then playing fried liver is just gg for you
@@OPbaiterOP Traxler is better for white after Bxf7+ Kf8 Bb3 but is extremely hard to play as white especially
@@ALF8892”extremely hard” is a exageration if your opponent dont play agressively you will just end up castling by hand
"Hopefully this was good."
Never a concern with you, Levy; it's always good.
I play the Italian about 80% of the time myself, often hoping for a Nakhmanson (thanks to Schrantz), and I've got to say...I think your move order is actually a lot more likely to lead to it being accepted. It's definitely a change in repertoire I'll be implementing.
Keep up the good work, brother. 👏👏👏
0:57 - the Opening;
1:24 - b4 on Bishop or Knight;
2:02 - Bishop or Knight giveds step back;
3:21 - Ba5;
5:16 - Be7;
6:20 - if they dont acept gambit on b4
6:58 - black moves Nf6 instead of Nc6
This repertoire will destroy literally everyone in my scholastic tournaments. Thanks so much Levy!
Levy, your videos are simply the best out there. Your teaching experience is evident in them all. As a newer player ~1000, they are invaluable! I'll be trying the Evan's in my next game...keep up the great content!
How did you get to a thousand if you're new? This is around the 75% percentile which means only 25% of people are better than you. Am I wrong? How many games did it take to get there?
@@PedroDiMaggio-dk4lb its simple to get into 1000 u just need to play puzzles higher than ur rating .And also just stick with very less openings and master it to it fullest
9:10 bishop to e7 might actually be a natural move. As a beginner, I always look for forks on opponent and my self, king and queen being on the same diagonal or same file is a major alarm in my head. I agree that King to f6 might be from a cheater but bishop to e7 might happen purely based on natural thinking.
Edit: realised after posting the comment that if I was playing black pieces, I would actually move the king back to a safe location instead of a bishop move.
So delete your comment lol
@@Adwik_Mishra why?
Been waiting for this one since the beginner openings video with you and Hikaru
9:10 levi spitting flames
_💀💀💀💀_
Enjoyed this one. I like that you gave two variations of a similar system. Nicely done
Im new to chess (thanks to Beth Harmon) anyhow I watch these videos and get all pumped up and then my opponent always does something different.... lol
Where are you now?
I really admire this man
You need to go a bit deeper when you say “have to” I know it’s a 10 minute tutorial and I love the format, but to appeal to everyone it needs an explanation still after “they have to go...”
Don’t have a specific game but whenever I face the Evans gambit as black I decline with Bb6 and white has (so far) never known how to follow up so I make it out of the opening just fine. I really appreciate you trying to see the best of the community, and thank you for the great content!
honestly, I play a lot of fried liver and learned a lot from different openings that can go from Italian to Spanish, and this is a really good idea, I should def keep this in mind, lots of different variations! Thanks for the insight man.
My first time tried this e4 evans gambit opening wasn’t quite the true way of playing the gambit, the opponent ended up using his pawns and bishops, but I learned that this e4 setup just to try and make the gambit is a really nice setup of my white pieces… I won the match against the black pieces trying weird unnatural moves against me, this variation of white pieces is very strong indeed, you teach very well, thanks appreciate the vids.
I love playing chess, watching game breakdowns, puzzles, opening theory videos, endgame videos etc... but I still suck.. I did get a really nice win with the Evans gambit on my first ever game on lichess, using only 23 seconds of my clock, they put my rating as 1759? afterwards, I nearly cried when I had to play again, to lose the next 3 games immediately...
If you want to stay in theme, against the petrov you can still play Bc4, and either transpose to the Italian or end up in a Stafford Gambit up a tempo where for black to hold advantage they have to play ridiculous moves like f6, g6
Tip.
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4. 5.c3 Bc5 6.d4 exd4 7.O-O dxc3 8.Bxf7! Kxf7 9.Qd5+ Kf8 10 QxBc5 d6 11.Qxc3
or 8... Kf8 9.Bxg8 Rxg8 10.Ng5
or from main 9...Ke8 10.Qxc5 Qe7 11.Qc3. If ... 10.Qf6 then Nxc3
White has a good position in an open game with strong king safety, black has a busted king side and is unable to castle.
I've just started to learn the Evans gambit.
You came just at the right time
That's what she said
I wanted to learn this since the Tier List stream, Definitely gonna use it now :)
Practice it well.i like the Vienna game more now.
me when d5 happens : I cant stop myself from playing THE EN PASSANT
Regarding the Nakhamanson Gambit - you said that after 8.Qd5+ Black's only move is 8...Kf6. I was curious about that so I put the move 8...Ke8 into the chess engine to see how White punishes this move. I let Stockfish calculate and calculate to a very great depth and it thinks Black can hold this with an even evaluation. Here are the computer moves after 8...Ke8: 9.Re1 d6, 10.Rxe4+ Be7, 11.Bg5 Kf8, 12.Rae1 Bf6 and Black seems to have weathered the storm. His position is hardly one I'd like to play, but he's not going to get checkmated any time in the near future and he's up a piece. So, I'm wondering if you see something better for White to punish 8...Ke8. Stockfish doesn't see it. Admittedly, it's all very nasty for Black, but I do not see how 8...Kf6 is any better than 8...Ke8 if the correct moves are played.
yeah but the problem is that you are assuming that a normal person would play the move Kf8... normally, the person would play Be7 to cover and then end up losing their queen.
@@nico_iunyk I'm not assuming anything, I was simply challenging the assertion that 8...Ke8 is a losing move. It is not.
my friend, you bring so much life into chess, I lOVE your videos, it is amazing. I had to review it like 3 times to understand better, but it is just nuts, pure stuff!
I watched this video right after agadmator’s Evans Gambit video.
Edit: Thanks for the likes😁
Me too
Me three
Me 4
Me 6
Me seven obvyusly
Finally got the Nakhmanson gambit today. I wonder what went through my opponents head being +7 and getting mated in 12 moves. 🤔
6:08 - the bishop flying to a5 cracks me up
You touched on something here that I found very important on my journey to get better at chess. I see it at the pogchamps too. Sometimes looking at the engine makes you think a mistake is being made when it isnt. It is more important (for me at least) to see openings and moves thaat are played from certain position. Engine can be very misleading.
also i often make a terrible move; and the opponent must think im up to something and likewise does something stupid and my next move puts him on the ropes; or even out of the ring.lol.
Here's a game I played in the Central Florida Class Championship with the Evan's Gambit that I won spectacularly in 23 moves.
I was white and rated USCF 1586 at the time. My opponent was rated USCF 1369. Time control I believe was G/120 with 5 second delay/increment
1. e4 e5
2. NF3 Nc6
3. Bc4 Bc5
4. b4 Bxb4
5. c3 Ba5
6. d4 exd4
7. o-o dxc3
8. Qb3 Qf6
9. e5! Qf5 (Can not capture as Re1 wins)
10. Nxc3 h6
11. Ba3 Nge7
12. Nd5 o-o?
13. Bxe7 Re8
14. Nf6+!! gxf6 (Ripping open lines to the enemy king)
15. Bxf7+ Kh7
16. Bxe8 Nxe7
17. Qf7+ Kh8
18. Qf8+ Ng8
19. Nh4 Qg4
20. Ng6+ Qxg6
21. Bxg6 b6
22. exf6 Bb7
23. Qg7#
Let me know what you think. The Evans Gambit and Fried Liver are my favorite openings to play as I love to attack.
On move 8 how did they move their queen to f6 if your knight is on f6
@@davetheraider my fault! I meant to put Nc6. I will edit it.
A note on the Nakhmanson: I've been mastering both openings here and loving them for sure. To shore up all possibilities, I've also learned what to do if right knight takes first (4...Nxe4): take to the right) and if left knight takes first (4...Nxd4): Bishop check. And after castling, if they bring out the bishop to c5, I've learned the Max Lange Attack. However, if I even get to Nakhmanson position and whip out the knight to d3, experienced players know it's too good to be true and take with the knight. And beginners are like timid sheep and also take with the knight (maybe it's simpler than having a knight overextended or maybe they just see knight and take knight with knight). Either way, I rarely have players take with pawn. Now, this is still playable but it takes some study and it's not winning by force. Just my two cents at ELO 1000.
Great stuff Leny as always. I'll study that. I've learned from you London, Duch, and Caro Khan. Wanted to learn those openings a long time and all stuff on TH-cam was too hard to understand. But you are the best teacher by far.Ps. Just remember something I wanna say to you. I am from Slovenia and Rozman is the Slovenian family name. Do you have Slovenian roots?
he has russian roots
After playing chess for about a month I found your channel... And now it feels sooo good...
Because I play the Italian (I’m trying to learn, I’ve learned a main line already) and I kind of want to try something new, and you say that it is strong
Loved this quick 1-2 punch with the Evans and the Nahkmanson gambits. Could you do a 10 minute video on the Schliemanns Gambit for black against the Ruy Lopez some time?
In the line 6. ... Bc5, I think there is a better approach than what you say in the video. After 6. .... Bc5 7. d4 exd4
, then 8. 0-0 ... and if 8. ... dxc3 9. Bxf7+ Kxf7 10. Qd5+ Ke8 11. Qxc5....
This way you take away castling rights and gain a lot of atacking potential
I just finnished a chess session where I focused on these two openings in particular...and now this video pops up! How can Levi consistently find the best possible content to create?
I really enjoy these 10 minute chess opening videos. Thank you.
Hey Levy! Just watched your video and saw a couple improvements to my favourite gambit! I usually blocked the check with my bishop instead of the knight!. I thought I'd link a game I had and see what you though if you had the time. Long time subscriber and I love your content. Thanks for all the work you do! (And I definitely started playing this gambit because of Agadmator)
Haha forgot to post the game! lichess.org/vdueqJ0n2nK4
It works, but the thing is that if you castle, the knight defends a pawn, whereas the bishop will always trade itself off. It's a marginal difference.
2:28 After white Castles, why wouldnt Black just take the Knight with bishop and after white Recaptures with either piece, take the free pawn on e4?
i am not sure but maybe that's bad because you can pin the knight with the rook or the queen and then capture it?
Levy: E4 e5 players will get this position 95% of the time.
Me: playing blitz for an hour and not getting the position once in 800 elo. Sadge
my entire repertoire is try for a urosov gambit, and then if they don't accept that then I go for nakhmanson/evans. What actually ends up happening though is after exd4 and castles they always defend with bc5 and I drop my bishop back and greek gift them. Works every time.
Thanks levy! I played the evans gambit right after I watched this and its by far my most fun chess game ever
The italian game has always been my favorite opening, especially the loli attack
Love this video as a strictly E4 player. I would add the urusov gambit in the conversation as well.
Love the chess openings videos!
Thanks bro, u do a great job my friend. Excellent.
8:53 black doesn't have to play Kf6, Ke8 is perfectly fine for black, still an insane position with great attacking ideas for white and hard to defend for black, nice video
Ke8 is just entirely losing.
0:44 why does balck has to play bishop c5? Did he mean he has to play it for the Evans Gambit to work or is it a mistake not to play c5?
i know im a month late but seeing unanswered questions pains me. he means that black has to play that for white to be able to proceed with the evans gambit. there are many other moves black can play in the position that aren't losing :)
@@maxschoeman7858 Thank you!
00:45 Why does he have to play bishop to c5? If he doesn't play this, how do I capitalize on it?
I’d love to know the answer to this. Did you ever figure it out?
I believe its not "he has to play this or he's losing" but "he has to play this or you cant do the evans gambit". the evans gambit requires the black bishop to be on c5. b4 is the evans gambit i believe
He didn't mean it in the way you thought he meant it. Basically, you can only play the Evan's Gambit if they play Bc5, otherwise you will have to try something else.
Very nice video, fast paced, really enlightening, thanks a lot!
Love these 10 min openings! More gambits please.
So coincidence! I've studied in detail about Evans gambit for the first time today,, and now your new video released after that on evans gambit 😁👍🏻🤗💯
Max Lange / Morphey Attack, Italian Kotlawanski Gambit 8:04
in light of your comments at the end of your video. Love your content Levy
I play that last opening as a max Lange variation. Didn’t know it had a name, but I face a lot of perfect theory play at 2000-2100. Lol
The first 12-15 moves in the Max-Lange main line are really easy to figure out yourself at a certain level. To circumvent that you can either pick a side line, or you can learn theory beyond that so at some point you know what to do and they do not.
engine also recommends ke8 in the nakhamson gambit and qf6 next move
in 8:18, i want to ask that what should we do if black use the black knight to take Nc3?
8:03 its just the scotch gambit. There are way more ways play can evolve such as the Max Lange attack, Morphy attack, Andersen attack etc.
7:40 also Ng5 is not the fried liver. Its just Ng5 the knight attack. Fried Liver is when black makes the mistake of taking the pawn back with the knight
This is an excellent complement to your Vienna videos ... Fantastic follow up!
Gonna try this out. Thanks Levy!
Question- at 8:02 you say "most people here would take" showing black's e5 pawn taking the d4 pawn, BUT wouldn't most people instead take the e4 pawn with their f6 knight? Then after white's d4 takes e5- why not move the black queen from d8 to e7? Doesn't this effectively kill the Nakhmanson Gambit quickly? Look, I'm not a rated player so I'm probably missing something- but this simple response from black seems to end all threats, right? I've played this through from this suggested refuting position 3 times with one black win and 2 draws with me playing black- against Crafty playing white at full strength. (Crafty's the only free chess engine I can run on my ancient CPU, so I'm sure it's not the strongest opponent to test this lol) Thoughts?
Yesterday I played my first Evans gambit and won. Both me and my opponent (appr. 1350 rapid on lichess) made mistakes. I made two moves in a row, that engine found blunder and inaccuracy. But both those moves were attacking, they increased pressure. Eventually my opponent made a mistake in defense, and got 21. Qf7#
7:04 petrov steinitz attack
Hi Levy, I very liked this video! It's so funny: The gambit has my name: Evan+s(The first letter of my family name!)
In the nakhmanson If black plays Kf6 wasn't the best move for white Re1 instead of taking the knight on e4?
Tip: you can play c3 instead of nc3 to get a simular nakhmanson gambit but it's way less likely for them to take
In the Italian game what is the next move attack after opponent moved H6?
8:05 nakhmanson, scotch gambit
at 2:20 why does black not just play bc3 to attack the rook and once the rook moves to take the pawn on d4 since the queen is now blocked. Wouldnt blocking the check with bishop as white be better in the first place to stop this?
This has helped me win so many more games
Hello , Gotham . How do you like e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bc4 and d5 for black ?
Hey I just did the Evans Gambit combined with the Danish Gambit? I don’t know but it was so cool!
The history behind this gambit is fascinating.
Ng5 is not yet the Fried Liver. The line you give avoids it and has another name.
Please make a Max Lange attack and Italian Koltanowski Gambit also it's fits each other with Evans gambit.
Evans Gambit, chess talk agadmator gothamchess... But i learned alot from this video. Even if evans gambit is not possible, u r giving an alternative.
Very good explanation of the Evans , even I can understand it !!
this opening looks so good thanks Levy!
Whose should I watch, agadmator or Levy?
Depends you wanna learn it first or watch it first
why not both?
One's history and another more current theory
Why does queen have to go f6? What's wrong with going back to e8?
First time I tried against level 3 computer on Lichess.com
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. d3 Bc5 { C50 Italian Game: Giuoco Pianissimo, Normal } 5. b4 Bf8 6. O-O a6 7. a4 d5 8. exd5 Nxd5 9. b5 axb5 10. Bxb5 Bd7 11. Nc3 Nxc3 12. Qe1 Nxb5 13. Nxe5 Nb4 14. Ba3 Nxc2 15. Nxf7+ Kxf7 16. Qb1 Ncxa3 { White resigns. } 0-1
I resigned.
hi im a beginner and i dont quiet get the point of moving the queen to b3 with the bishop attacking the f7 pawn, wouldnt the king just move or should u continue to take the knight on g8?
I like to "go for the cheese" most of the time, but, even at my level in the 1400s, people know how to deal with the fried liver a lot of times.
Yeah just play the traxler counter gambit like a boss
well yes of course people 900+ don’t really fall for it anymore
9:10 BARS
Hi Levy, i'm just starting exploring some apertures for the first time, and was intrigued by Open game, Scotch game and Nakhmanson gambit in particular. Do you know any specific good book that treats this gambit? Also I'm pretty confused if it has to be studied along with an Italian game preoaration or a Scotch game preparation, since it can happen coming from both, if i'm correct. Thank you for your vids, you're awesome.
2:15 Im playing a 3 days match right now and I have the same position as this.
I encounter a lot a Evan's gambit around 1100-1200 personally !
9:00
Bishop to g5 check, knight takes bishop.
Queen takes knight check winning the black queen.
Super helpful - thank you!
I took the Evans gambit to a 1 minute bullet round and this was the result.
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. b4 Bxb4 5. c3 Bc5 6. d4 Bb6 7. O-O exd4 8. cxd4 Nf6 9. e5 Nxd4 10. Nxd4 Bxd4 11. Qxd4 Nd5 12. Qxd5 c6 13. Qxf7#
Your new stuff is great but these older vids are gold.
8:00 nakhamsnons gambit
What if they takes the c3 knight with a knight in nakmanson gambit?
Bd6 is the most solid line.
3:00 i thought my mum called me lmao
I’m a fan of the triple captures myself.
