Fun anecdote: Gotham already said that this used to be known as the "Ponziani-Steinitz gambit", after grandmaster Wilhelm Steinitz. Apparently, Paul Morphy was once asked if he knew Steinitz, and he replied: "yes, I know Steinitz. His gambit is bad".
The quote is a bit wrong, but Morphy did pass on a message to Steinitz commenting that his gambit is bad, but he was referring to his variation of the king's gambit :(

Funnily enough I faced an opponent a long time ago who played this and analysed some lines so as not to lose again, then recently I won a game by knowing bishop takes with check, and now this video pops up
The difference is that the Traxxler refuted is losing for black when the bishop takes pawn. In this gambit, when the bishop takes the pawn, it is a completely equal yet tricky position for the uninitiated. Therefore black has the advantage by the simple fact that white probably can’t find the best moves after surviving the opening

This is a very good trap especially in 1000-ish level because most people with white play the Italian. I saw this trap first on Remote Chess Academy and it helped me a lot to increase my elo. You have explained it very well in this video. 👏 👏
I mean, you "increased" your elo in the same way I "increase" my height by wearing the right kind of boots. The moment the shoes come off your height goes right back down. This is a one-trick gambit that will net you a worse position almost every single game past 1500, it's even worse than the Stafford. At least with the Stafford there's various avenues of compensation and many, many traps, even in the lines that are good for White. With this all I need to know is that I play Bxf7, shove my d pawn down your throat as far as it can reasonably go, kick your knight out and castle and you have no play. If you're below 1500 and just want to have fun, go ahead - it doesn't make you magically worse at the game or anything. Just know that you will hit a hard plateau at a certain point where the problem isn't your skill level - it's your opening prep.
Just one little detail when you move your pawn to d5 at 3:38, the bishop on c4 can simply take and still guard the knight. which you missed as option for white ....
@@amenist what would the follow-up be if Ke1 happens instead of Kg1? There isn't an open diagonal at that point, so I'm not picking up the way to maintain pressure at that point
Kudos to Levy for a constant flow of great content, rain or shine, regardless of other commitments (like tournaments). I mean, we get great content every day, often multiple times a day. It takes focus and determination to not sacrifice quality when putting out so much quantity, and Levy pulls it off. Well done.
@@krabbypatties1356 Italian is one of the most common opening on all levels from 1.e4. At 1550 rapid the only other common thing that gets played against me as black (after 1.e4 e5) is the Scotch or the rare Ruy/Vienna, but Italian is 100% most common. I do encounter 1.d4 a lot though (maybe even more than 1.e4?), against which I play the modern.
I had a really crappy day dealing with my older relatives squabling over the estate of my grandmother. (she was 98, had outlived her husband of over sixty years and two of her daughters, so this wasn't tragic, She had done and said all she needed to say and do and moved on peacefully.) The tragedy is the spectacular assholery of of her youngest son and drunk-hillbilly side of the family. Coming home to get lost in chess I'm just starting to understand is surprisingly calming. thanks for doing what you do.
@@Daniel-hf5yp what are you up to? You lose bishop and horse (its immovable at this point) for inactive rook that does literally nothing. If you take pawn you still have two active pieces and a threat of capturing a rook using only bishop. It's bad trade
@GothamChess. I know this is an older video, but at 3:32 you say to move d5 instead of rg8. What stops the white bishop from just capturing d5 and leaving you in the same spot where you need to move your rook?
@@thenuggon I'm looking at this position thinking wtf, just knight to a5, bishop goes to d5, black pawn to c6. Also it's not mentioned that after knight takes rook, knight is still stuck, so black will have doubled pawns and possibly bad pawn structure in two spots, but black will be a piece up. When the dust settles, this is horrible for white. I'm 1900s and I'd destroy white here if I was black.
I was thinking the same thing. As of now I’d instead play Nb4 (threatening Nxc2) followed by d5 and then either King takes knight or pawn takes bishop depending on what white’s reply allows.
this reminds me of some similarities with the Rousseau Gambit because of the fried liver counter attack. Also, the knight/bishop fork happens in the Rousseau a lot.
@gothamchess : It would be nice to the follow up on what happens when d6 pawn is taken by the bishop in c5 . I guess the knight at the c6 attacks by going to b4. And then on to fork king and rook may be if bishop decides to sneak. Great video :) My bro took ur course and highly recommends .
Chess academy did this one awhile ago. It's worth checking out as well. He goes through a number of other lines as well. I think it was title something like destroy e4
One of my first games I played today I was about to get fried livered without even realizing I'd made the perfect setup to try out this opening, and just trying to use what I remembered from watching this video two hours ago, it worked pretty flawlessly. I played 92% accuracy against 75%, that someone being rated 1400 and 60 pts higher than me.
Ahhh this has been my favorite pet gambit for quite a while! I'm so happy to see it covered! On the other hand, now everyone's gonna know how to refute it :/
Still pretty much a beginner and part of me feels like learning these kinds of gambits would be a crutch that will net me wins not because I outplayed them, but because they failed a chess knowledge check and got auto-blown off the board. But this particular gambit only works against people who are trying to do that very same thing to ME with the Fried Liver attack--and that's just really funny to me so I'm tempted to try to incorporate it.
I tried this, and on the very first attempt, I got black pieces, got into the fried liver scenario, took the pawn with my knight, and my opponent took my hanging pawn with their knight. This led to a checkmate on move twelve, and my accuracy was 98.3%, the highest I've ever had in a game by far. This gambit is on a whole different level from the usual Danish gambit I enjoy playing.
Wow I remember playing this line as a beginner when I was still learning defences against the fried liver attack.. it is indeed an interesting and fun position to play
Nb5 threatening the bishop and c2 and if bishop b3 you just take the pawn attacking the rook and if bishop take knight you just take the knight and if knight takes you take there rook and if they try to escort the knight after taking the rook you can do the same since bishop can't keep defending c2 square and knight
I've been trying to figure that out too.. basically it's a pawn sacrifice for tempo. You can check the king with Bh3+. If the king moves to f2, you can develop your other bishop with Bc5+. If the king moves to to e1 or e2, you can move your knight to d4 and then c2 to capture the other rook, or just move your rook to g8 now that you've developed a few pieces.
I actually discovered this while checking the opening database since I play the knight attack as white and I memorized Bxf7+ d4 however I have never experienced this as white so far. I'm excited to see this more often because of this video >:)
What I find ironic, many of these gambits and traps are more difficult to pull off on novice players, at times; because they play randomly... and you have to just out-chess them.
This, called the ponziani steinitz gambit, has existed for a long time and Ive been using it ever since I watched it on the Remote Chess Academy youtube channel.
I saw this video yesterday, played some games and got this exact set up. Didn't play it perfectly but managed to force M4 after a couple moves after knight takes pawn.

HELLO, I'M NEW TO CRPTO AND FOREX TRADING AND I HAVE BEEN MAKING HUGE LOSSES TRADING ON MY OWN BUT RECENTLY I ESS A LOT OF PEOPLE EARNING FROM IT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME A NEW STRATEGY OR AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG?
At 3:40 in the vid, after trading queens, you recommend pawn to d5, attacking the bishop. Why wouldn't the bishop simply take the pawn? Black still has a rook attacked and has one less (central) pawn ! Help me here, please !!
Apparently the computer likes attacking with D5 because it opens up your bishop to bh3+. For the cost of sacrificing a pawn you can harass their king, develop your bishop, and when you can't harass anymore then you can move your rook to safety. Momentum is king
This is somewhat similar to the corkscrew gambit. There's some big differences bit, depending on how things go down, queen to attack F3 is definitely something that can be useful. There's some pretty powerful things that can help if you get the knight to C6, but I do enjoy the corkscrew gambit lines that can happen. Getting a perfect line is hard, though, I've only gotten it once. But it was beautiful.
interesting idea here: if you at 10:26 you go to g8 then your opponent plays a random move then you do d5 to attack knight then another random move so you take the knight queen b3 from the opponent is actually checkmate could be a good counter-trap
Thanks for the best chess videos on TH-cam! I learn a lot from you. Have you ever done a short video on castling? I'm a beginner who has less than a year of experience and I still don't understand when to castle on queenside or kingside. I've lost a few games because I castled the wrong way, and I don't understand how to figure out which way to castle. I've searched and can't find a good enough explanation. I seem to be the castle blunder king lol
Ok good, not dark, Good Knight. The thing is the knights are Good and Bad. Because they stand on G and B. Just like the King and Queen are Diane and Edward. They are not Bishops they are F n Cardinals. Because they start on the F and C spots. So, for me, it is much easier to remember my Gambits when the starting spots of the pieces involved are named in the Gambit. I have renamed many Gambits in this light.
Thank you! I have been wanting to uncrease my openings for black. I am halfway (or so) through your beginner's course and I think this helps a lot. I can't wait till i get to your intermediate course! Already purchased and ready to go through! Your courses are awesome!
why did you show them what to do against it? I have been doing this gambit for a few months and have never lost because none of my opponents do the best move. Now they know what to do, but also, so do I.

HELLO, I'M NEW TO CRPTO AND FOREX TRADING AND I HAVE BEEN MAKING HUGE LOSSES TRADING ON MY OWN BUT RECENTLY I ESS A LOT OF PEOPLE EARNING FROM IT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME A NEW STRATEGY OR AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG?

I remember friends calling me crazy when I started but i now shut up them with my four
figure weekly returned
3:40 how is the pawn in that position pressuring the bishop, can’t the bishop just take for free instead of the knight taking rook
I was thinking the exact same thing
Does the king reply?
Nah bruh
yes, yes i do.
Lmao did anyone of u guys see him typing on discord, I legit just joined went to the channel and saw him typing
I'm not a king but levy says I'm worth more than a king
No he gets mated
The first line you looked at shares a lot of common themes/traps with the Stanford Gambit.
Levy: *Teaches new opening*
Database: Dark knight Gambit : 100000000 games
At 3:40 in the vid, after trading queens, you recommend pawn to d5, attacking the bishop. Why wouldn't the bishop simply take the pawn? Black still has a rook attacked and has one less (central) pawn ! Help me here, please !!
Apparently the computer likes attacking with D5 because it opens up your bishop to bh3+. For the cost of sacrificing a pawn you can harass their king, develop your bishop, and when you can't harass anymore then you can move your rook to safety. Momentum is king
Engine recommends Nb4 if they take pawn
"now you have to play chess"
Dangit. I knew it
Now more than 100k games of this gambit are gonna feature in the database 😂😂.
This is somewhat similar to the corkscrew gambit. There's some big differences bit, depending on how things go down, queen to attack F3 is definitely something that can be useful. There's some pretty powerful things that can help if you get the knight to C6, but I do enjoy the corkscrew gambit lines that can happen. Getting a perfect line is hard, though, I've only gotten it once. But it was beautiful.
Important to note, if you like the Stafford Gambit, but they dont accept it and play Bc4, you can play Nc6 and transpose into this
I'm interested to know what the stafford gambit is?
interesting idea here:
if you at 10:26 you go to g8
then your opponent plays a random move
then you do d5 to attack knight
then another random move
so you take the knight
queen b3 from the opponent is actually checkmate
could be a good counter-trap
Thanks for the best chess videos on TH-cam! I learn a lot from you. Have you ever done a short video on castling? I'm a beginner who has less than a year of experience and I still don't understand when to castle on queenside or kingside. I've lost a few games because I castled the wrong way, and I don't understand how to figure out which way to castle. I've searched and can't find a good enough explanation. I seem to be the castle blunder king lol
White: Yay! Here comes fried liver!
Also white: What a bozo, blundering a knight!
Also white: How did i get checkmated?!
Well, now this gambit will not work as good as before anymore.
Lost me at "and now you have to play chess"
Just watched this, went straight online, the first guy I play walks right into it, and in the rematch tried the second variation. I love it
I do Knights to A and H files upon opening. It's a *checks notes* gambit
This has to be the best gambit I've seen so far. It's counter-intuitive to the opponent in so many ways.
Ok good, not dark, Good Knight. The thing is the knights are Good and Bad. Because they stand on G and B. Just like the King and Queen are Diane and Edward. They are not Bishops they are F n Cardinals. Because they start on the F and C spots.
So, for me, it is much easier to remember my Gambits when the starting spots of the pieces involved are named in the Gambit. I have renamed many Gambits in this light.
Thank you! I have been wanting to uncrease my openings for black. I am halfway (or so) through your beginner's course and I think this helps a lot.
I can't wait till i get to your intermediate course! Already purchased and ready to go through! Your courses are awesome!
*increase... Not uncrease lol
Levy has single-handedly stopped the fried liver from ever being played again.
I dont respond E4 E5 often but i love the gambit
why did you show them what to do against it? I have been doing this gambit for a few months and have never lost because none of my opponents do the best move. Now they know what to do, but also, so do I.
I watched this video a week ago, played and used this 5 minutes ago and won! I couldn’t figure out the mate for a moment but got it in 19 moves. Thank you so much, it worked so well!
What I appreciate about levy is same in eric, good souls pairing with sharp minds.
Thanks for bringing back the openings videos levy
This is exactly the video I needed. I’ve been running into so many fried livers lately for some reason and thought the only solid defence was NH6.
You should learn the traxler!
11:08 You can't castle but u can in 3 moves walk your king to safety, Kd7 Rd8 and Kc8
Dark knight gambit: just scream I’m batman
I don't see why white can't play Bxd5 at this position 3:38
Like what do I do now??
Wait holy shit I literally lost to this at lunch today, I just 100% helped someone test out theory they learned from you 😂
I really love your videos levy i watch this one and the jaenisch gambit and I really played like a pro player and i love how i knew what to do in games , words really can't describe how much i like you ❤️
I right now playing in a tournament and I’m waiting to see which br I’ll be on I love you videos
