Kings Gambit: Muzio Gambit Variation
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 พ.ย. 2011
- The Muzio Gambit is an extremely aggressive variation in the king's gambit that looks to give up an early pawn and knight in exchange for an extremely aggressive attack on the black king. With so much focused on the f7 square, black has to play precise to hold a chance against all the traps white can lay out.

"Since we are sacrificing a knight and a bishop we might as well sacrifice one more pawn." LOL
You also sacrifice your integrity and dreams but hey, at least your opponent goes home confused.
Here lies squidward's hopes and dreams, sacrificed 😂😂😂😂
Confused and also winning
@@leprisonnier7957 pourquoi t'es emprisonné
Sacrifice your integrity.... sounds like you're the one confused. Nothing wrong with gambits, they're great ways to improve you're attacking skills among other things
Sacrifice your integrity to crush his soul .. hell yea baby! If you can’t take the hits, don’t step into the ring. 😀
I just saw this video for the 1st time today and I tried it on a guy that typically beats me like a drum. I can tell by his reactions he was confused by my gambit moves and he was very quickly in huge trouble after he took my knight. It wasn't long before I was typing GG 😃
The King's Gambit is a great club weapon against weaker opponents, but there's a REASON it is so seldom seen at the higher levels of play. White will enjoy some space and attacking chances in the beginning but it is defensible by Black. White's attack has to be as precise as Black's defense. The burden is not completely on Black. If there is so much as a pause in White's attack, it can turn south very quickly and White will soon be regretting all the material he gave up.
As Black, I often accept the King's Gambit and I'm surprised to see that many White players do not know the opening as well as they should - especially when the gambit is accepted. It's almost as if they're surprised that the gambit has been accepted since they're mostly used to playing the King's Gambit Declined.
The Kings Gambit doesn't score the best itself but the Muzio variation actually scores solidly even in the few gm games it's played in but you're much more likely to see 3.d6 than you will g5 at that level
Lmao kings gambit is so simple to remember stop playing at 800 rating
Agreed. It's a flashy gambit, but if black is able to defend himself and survive it's game over for white. White has to be very smart to win.
@@mopbrothers not really, in most lines White just ends up with a better position not a crushing attack. But the position is better due to central control and the ability to attack, not because of a positional crush. What David says is right though, you cannot play the kings gambit without learning a huge amount of theory, because there are many different lines and you really need to know the right move orders for white or you can lose very quickly. You have to be very precise. The only opening I can think of where you need to be more precise is the Latvian gambit, which is the KG in reverse, and requires near perfect play to stay alive against stockfish.
What you are basically saying is: If you get past that barb wired wall, across the mine field, dodge the aerial bombing, you will finally come to the land of milk and honey :)
I laughed so hard at commentary :D It's like sacrificing in this opening is your personaly hobby :D
don't play the carokann cave man which can sac a rook in about 7 moves or play leela chess which sacrifices pieces just to get them out of the way AND can beat stocklfish in almost every game
Thank you for your great videos I have played my friends including the one that had taught me how to play chess. Using your videos I had won 10 out of last 13 games. Usually it was around 50-50. Putting the kings gambit into my overall play and focused positions have made it easy for me to come off with a strong attack and allow me to apply lots of pressure against my opponents.Thank you very much for not only the opening, But the theory that is behind them. Makes it easy to decide what to do against an uncommon move and stay focused on the main goal of exploiting area to gain control!Thanks again and subbed! *Best I have found on youtube!
I swear the more things I find on the King’s Gambit the more I’m falling in love with it...
I use to play the Muzio, but it's easier said than done that's for sure. The opportunity for it also rarely presents itself. There is actually an amazing game played by naka here on youtube where he plays the Muzio gambit and wins. It's one of the few games I've seen that I'll never forget.
Hello Kevin... thanks for the videos.... please keep them coming.. you are doing a very good job... I really like all your videos... you take the time to show the moves properly without rushing... I like it..
@Shadowboost playing Nc3 is an important move as it allows to connect the rooks, and after black takes bishop and white captures back with his queen and Bg7, white can then play 15. Rxf6 Bxf6 16. Rf1.
This is the best explanation for kings gambit, I have seen so far.Thanks-a-lot.
I'm practising the King's Gambit heavily and I really enjoyed this line and the explanations. Nice work, I'll give it a try!
Thanks a lot! Well done explain with good English and clear words! Now I am leaning toward this opening King Gambit. :)
There is no way I'm playing this gambit against a stronger player
Well...okay? It's sound. Only a plus one advantage for black...that's a draw...
MVL played it against Nakamura, twice. Won 1, lost 1. Lost one was played yesterday, MVL was in comfortable position but finally lost due to mistakes. Still 1-1.
@mrengler1 yes white still has a great attack. After Bg7, white can now play 15. Rxf6 Bxf6 16. Rf1. Black is not only going to lose the bishop on f6 but he has none of his pieces that can help in the assault from white. Easy win for white.
@Penguinator44 I haven't seen this much but I would recommend just playing d4 and solidify the center of the board. The bishop on d6 will really hurt his development of his queen side pieces while white will start to overwhelm the board with his pieces.
"It's just going to be GG..." Hahaha, love it.
Instructive and entertaining video. I've already watched it more than once and expect to revisit.
I love the King's Gmabit! I'm a mainly 1.d4 player, I love positional chess, my only opening in my repertoire that starts 1.e4 is the KG - I've never played the muzio/double muzio but I'm deffo gonna try this out online before playing it in my club games or tournaments!! Wickid vid!! :)
@Comosiem only been like 10 days, but yes still alive and making more videos :)
this. was. excellent. - best chess channel on TH-cam, hands down.
EXCELLENT KEVIN!!
NO ONE GETS BORED WITH THIS WILD GAMBIT!!
15:09
"Obviously Knight can't come here or the King will be GG"
Just played this, and the first game it was accepted I won. Thanks for the video!
"The knight can't really come here to d5, thats gonna be gg". lol
10:42 After Bxf4 Houdini suggests Nf6 and gives black a decent edge.(around 1.6 pawns) Also after this, according to the engine the best move is Be5 and after the queen trades I don't find it difficult to play the position with black.
Chris....WHAT'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!
Thanks Kevin, Actually yours is the name I hate most. My gf's bf's name ~.~ But nice to hear familiar voice amongst chaos of Kingcrusher s and chess.com s. Kudos to Bobby fischer, people tend to stay away from Kings gambit, as he religiously busted it out of business. So, many people are unaware of the damage this line can inflict. Nice work, its appreciated.
@Fenchai23 then you can move pawn to d4, to let bishop open for attack or possibly, move pawn to e5
10:37 i recommend pawn g4, your opponent will choose en passant, and you win their queen, with real easy mates on the board
WOW THIS IS A COOL OPENING I'LL CHECK IT OUT ON MY OPPONENTS
In the last scenario when black moves a knight after bishop C4, bishop should takes on F7 check. The king has to take bishop. Then queen takes pawn on F4 check. No matter where the king goes it's checkmate. Best move for black is an awkward move, knight to H6, protecting F7.
I'm going to use this now, and I recommend all of you too as well because nobody knows about it right now.
Think you very much
just want to thank you for doing God's work...it put the sprint in my moves, the pepper in peoples pants and it's a strategy I'm lighting my current games over... instead of dawdling through games like a headless chicken...:-)
This is my ALL-TIME favourite opening--it is the opening that will keep me coming back and playing chess, no matter what! Peter Millican, one of the best correspondence gurus, had written a treatise on the Double Muzio Gambit which is now unavailable. Luckily, though, I have it, and it includes reams and reams of analysis, finally coming to the correct conclusion that White is pressing for a win in all lines. Steinitz's 9. ...Qf5?! isn't so strong after 10. Bxf4! (and not 10. g4?!) ...TRY IT!
I wish I had better memory, I find it so hard to remember openings when I play. So many different variations of every opening, makes me dizzy
+BeatBuster Maybe spend some time learning why the moves are made, instead of learning exactly which moves and it will help?
take the time to stop the video. get your old chess board and move the pieces physically. It helps you to memorise rather than just watch the screen
that is exactly what I did. It helps so much actually looking at it for what it actually is. Best advice that I could give someone also!
I know that. But it seems pretty easy to defend. after ...Kxf7, Bc4# Ke8, Qxg4 Qf6,and black seems okay while having an extra piece.
Paul Murphy is the master of this gambit.
The f7 square has a counterpart to it though. The f2 where the white king is defending that pawn. Is that square also a weak spot for white or does the fact that white moves first make it less of a disadvantage?
whats the name of the opening were you play
e4, e5
Nc3, Nc6
than f4, xf4
but thanks for the video, i like your opening best :)
and Kings gambit is verry fun to use in fast games
Such a strange yet potentially useful opening!
@concept015 yes you can because you have doubled up the file with the rook and queen and if the queen takes the bishop then your queen takes the queen and black can't do anything about it.
I tried against free chess app at level 8. Not sure what is the best move against Bh6. I won, but not really satisfied with my game. Any pointers to play Muzio Gambit better?
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. Bc4 g4 5. O-O gxf3
6. Qxf3 Bh6 7. d4 Nc6 8. Qh5 Qf6 9. Nc3 Qxd4+ 10. Kh1 Qxc4
11. Bxf4 Bxf4 12. Rxf4 d6 13. Ra1f1 Ne5 14. Nd5 Kd8 15. Qg5+ Kd7
16. Qg7 Ng6 17. Rxf7+ Ng8e7 18. Nxe7 Ne5 19. Nd5+ Nxf7 20. Rxf7+
0:29 black queen should move h5 checking king instead of taking the pawn
The stunt opening!
9:06 Why bring the knight to c3, why not immediately go to d4 with the bishop, seems stronger to me than unneccessary (?) giving away the knight.
I played king's gambit a lot when I first learned chess,not because it's a sound opening but it had a tendency to throw my opponent off balance.If black wants to save his pawn advantage he loses a lot of tempo.
im not sure kevin but at around 14:10 cant u play Bxf7+ if Qxf7 then Qxf7+ Kd8 Qxf8# if Kxf7 Qe3 and u win a Queen idk please respond thanks
@Shadowboost yeah, i was really confused with Nc3 first. maybe the connecting of the rooks is really important for this attack?
I was in a chess competition the other day. In the games I won, I used a similar opening. I just got my bishop to a2 [after the first few moves] and got my queen to f7. My opponents didn't see that one coming!
i'm looking at 9:55 where you say white is materially ahead after black's queen falls. white traded all 4 minor pieces to win that queen. after Qxd4+, Qxd4, Bg7, Rf2, Rf8, Rf1, does white still have an attack?
Every time I apply this or the Kings Gambit .. they’re moving the opposite side .. and I still end up losing ..
What happens at 11:39 if instead of moving the black bishop to C5 and attacking the King you moved the bishop to D6 to protect the F4 pawn?
I find it hilarious how the video uploader/narrator can say that Black is going to be "down in material" at around the 9:56 mark. Sure Black is likely going to lose it's Queen, but at that point it has already taken 3 of White's pieces, and can take White's remaining minor piece (the Bishop on d4) as well prior to giving up it's Queen. And while White may be ahead on development and has Black's King out in the open for the time being, Black will still have 6 pieces whereas White will only be left with it's Queen and 2 Rooks. So unless White can continue to relentlessly pursue the Black King and in the process capture more pieces, Black can definitely recover from this position.
I've been playing king's gambit but playing D4 first then C4... is there any difference than using e4 then g4?
what chess program do u use for ur videos?,.not that i want to make vids too, i just like de way it shows u which pieces it attacks ect ,.thanks :)
@Penguinator44 I'm thinking d4. I mean it adds another attacker on the pawn and gets ready for the e5 push to get the bishop out of there anyway.
Can this gambit be used by black?
Is there a move for black in the beginning that can come strong in position after he took white's knight and pawn?
12:32 I think I found a good reply to this: instead of nonsensical Nc6, Black can just go c6, then d6, planning Be6, Ne7 with d5 and castling queenside
What software to use to mk chess videos on PC? Tried OBS bt it doesn't detect Fritz 13 tho it captures videos in other non Chess games
lol sorry mixed up check with the checkmate sign, but yeah, I agree. Thanks.
10:00 lets say black plays Qxd4, white recaptures Qxd4 and then a development move from black probably Bg7 or Be7 to defend f6, what will white do now? i mean white got the queen and all but lost all his minor pieces, was it rly worth it? and the attack is pretty much over due to f7 been defended by 2 pieces, what will white do now? (and sry if this is a silly question, the answer might be obvious, but im a beginner ;) )
Yeah, it is totally worth it. after 14.Qxd4 blacks position is lost. If 14...Be7 or 14...Bg7 then 15.Rxf6!! Bxf6 16.Rf1 and there is no way to put a second defender to protect the pinned bishop and white has a winning attack. Black either gets mated or gives back more material then he has won.
At first glance it looks bad, but whites queen will eventually take back blacks minor pieces, and if you didn't notice, whites King and pawns can begin to March forward prime immense pressure on black, while his queen and rooks can harass the king with checks.
5:30 what should white to if black bishop c5, white king h8, and black queen takes the pawn?
I used to play a strong club player with a rating of around 1300 who learned to play whilst in jail and I won about two games in five.I hit him with the King gambit and he was slow off the mark and I slaughtered him.The next occasion he brought in a book about 50mm thick just on the King gambit and I never used it again against him.
Hey im still a novice and im trying. I have a question about the move when the Queen goes f3, f4 and take the black pawn and when the black knight is on the f6 square. What options do i have or what is the best move i can make??
Thx for the vid mate. Any thoughts on next moves if at 6:54 white queen declines taking the D4 pawn and goes Qf5? Cheers.

14:43 What if black plays Nh6 rather than Nf6? This looks better to me because the knight is defending the f7 pawn but it can't be captured by the queen because the dark square bishop is defending it? If the white queen captures the f4 pawn Black can play Qe7 adding a third defender to the f7 pawn and I can't see white having a insurmountable advantage, Black can aim to castle queenside.
I just beat my computer at Hard lvl after three days straight of watching your videos without clicking ctrl+z, thnx man :D
Pawn to d5. How do u deal with this if they do this as u develop the kongs gambit
If black develops the bishop to cover that f-pawn, is d4 the move?
I do this every time in tournaments .. 40% of them fall for it
What about Knight from G8 to H6, to protect the pawn on F7? Isn't that a logical defence?
thanks for the upload, they help a lot.
@FromMuToYou yeah, but that doesn't mean the black will lose his queen.
If Black decline the pawn and instead play Kc3, what would be the best move ?
After Bc5+, can you play d4, giving up a pawn in order to activate your dark-squared bishop? I'm guessing so considering how much material is being given up. If anyone is looking for a game where the Muzio Gambit is played, Shirov vs. Lapinski in 1990 is a fantastic miniature to watch.
I wouldn't recommend it. Black takes the pawn with check, thus gaining a tempo as well as eyeing the b2 square. Personally I'd stick with Kh1.
kevin at 9:04 why sac the knight if feel playing Bd4 right away is better but one thing Nc3 does is it connects the rooks perhaps i maybe wrong but would like to know what's wrong with the move
Great video, I like the way You elaborate the moves...The only problem is that NO ONE I face at chess board plays that badly...I ve tried this at least 20 times and not a single opponent followed the suicide moves You suggested, after first 5 moves....like someone already mentioned here, this is only good in bullet/blitz games.
Great video, Kevin! I think I've found my new line.
what is the name of the software you use?
How do I send you games? I love using the King's Gambit and would love to hear your feedback.
Ask stockfish
what about Be3 Qg7 Q8f4 Nf6 thr is no good continuation for white as black pieces start developing one by one
What if at 10:48 the black's knight goes to f6? What now? It definitely losing for white
@boswell255 in kevin's vid on the king's gambit, that knight gets sac'd on black's f7 pawn to draw the king out
@mopbrothers
I never said he would lose his queen. All it does is let white move g3 without a loss in tempo.
Actually, never mind ~ there's a mate in three with bishop takes knight after black queen C3-C6 ...
What if instead of defending Black's f4 pawn with Qf6; black defends it with Bh6?
at 15:00, after black plays d5 and white takes with exd5, why not play Bf7, thereby defending the knight with both queen and bishop. if white decided to sacrifice for example the bishop, the king can just take it with no repercusions. white would be forced to develop further and then black can develop some kind of counterplay. at least from my perspective, but i am a beginner in chess :-)
Because Bf7 is impossible?
a move like Knight to H6 would be good for black?
Thanks 👍
Welcome 👍
Like KG will check out this variation looks interesting to me.....enjoyed the vid
Ok this doesn't work, I played this against a computer rated 1630, and after king castles, their are several moves which stop this Gambit.
1. Black moves it's pawn to e5
2. Black moves it's pawn b5
3. Black moves it's knight to c6
There are moves after White castles King side, but any of these moves I mentioned stops this Gambit dead.
If you are playing someone lower ranked it may work, but..... Trust me, I ran over three different complete games and it didn't work. I've beaten someone with this before, but it's honestly a shitty position.
i wish more of my opponents would play this -.-
watch the 2010 world blitz championship in the related section it shows a good way to defend this as black. Black lost but its still a good video to watch if your interested in this line of play at all as Kevin didn't show some of the opening moves that black did.
that's opening is real deal
@FromMuToYou I didnt say you said that. I'm saying Kevin was wrong about black being forced to lose his queen.
what happens if black protects with f7 f6 instead of Qd8 f6?
