♛ Find these Hartlaub-Charlick Gambit variations and games in this blog-post - chess-teacher....
If you are an aggressive chess player but not sure how to deal with the White's first move 1.d4, when your opponents try to play the Queen's Gambit or the London System, this video lesson is right for you!
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you an unusual and tricky chess opening gambit called the Hartlaub-Charlick Gambit from the Englund Gambit, which happens after the moves 1.d4 e5 2.dxe5 d6. Your first move 1...e5 stops 2.Bf4, therefore your opponents cannot play the London System anymore.
Watch the full video lesson as Igor presents to you the main opening setup for Black, common middlegame plan, and how to execute those plans in different variations. You will also learn what to do when your opponents do not accept the gambit and play some deviating variations.

Thank you very much i gonna use more this opening again the alternative moves you present there made a big difference to me!
I'm 1800 in 10 min. This works beautifully. Throws my opponents out of their opening line. It forces them into a tactical game rather than the slow, passive, positional game they are prepared for.
I love how you make every opening seem unbeatable. But I learn the lines by heart & my next 5 opponents play the Hippo or something 😭
Basically if U cn force ur opponent to play hippo as white ..thn it's a win for U...BCS U play as black and white should play for space and advantage...so the irony here is U expand take space and jst win🎉🎉🎉
no, it's NOT unbeatable, but even up to 2000 rated, black can't any better than = and in my own making it up as I go along as I have to when the video's 0-0-0 plans get squashed, i am scoring 59% to just 38% losses from 1...e5!? way above "slightly better" average. if you're a creative attacker who hates pawns and loves mobility... this is one bad FIGHTING "defense"
Hippo is a great opening tho I’ve had hella success w it
This gambit has been working really well for me (around 1500 level). It pulls people out of their opening knowledge and gives so many good attacking lines, they generally don't seem to be able to figure out a good response. Please keep the great content coming GM Smirnov!
1.d4 players expect you to play long slow closed games with quiet positional concepts. They aren't ready to defend immediately. I grabbed a couple queens recently. I got into a debate with a gambit hater until I got a temp ban, for saying "ain't nobody winning shee at 2000" over his comment that going from a losing record with the stonewall/slav to immediately kicking above average butt (38:59!!!) just doing my thing with this opening that makes sense, and when it doesn't, keep developing. even up to 2000 rated, white can't get better than EQUAL results DESPITE us 2nd move players *cough cough cough* spotting them 2 pawns

Nice share
Hi Igor, what if after I play 1.d4 e5, they play 2.e3 and decline the first gambit altogether?
The night before my first OTB tournament (Rapid) I watched the other video on this gambit and tried it. The first opponent didn't take the e5 pawn, but I won with Englund Gambit anyway; but against the second one (a better player) I had the chance to try this nice Hartlaub-Charlick Gambit. He didn't fall for the discovered check trick, but I had a dominating position; he was cramped, didn't know how to develop his pieces, plus he had time trouble. Thank you, GM Igor Smirnov! I always enjoy your videos! (^_^)
Any opening that negates the London gets my attention!
I also hate London players
As a London player, I've watched this video too and prepared against it. You're getting smoked (if you're below 2000).
Amen!
@@CloverAugustuslol I’m watching it to prepare against it too as a London player
@@CloverAugustustry me
Love the Englund Gambit, always play that, even in tournamnents
u sohuld stop, its a very bad opening
The Englund is fun to play against.
everybody's having fun, except the haters. I just had to stat check one with "sorry charlie's" winning amateur stats and even at the 2000 level, black is still scoring no worse than =! (don't listen to the haters... perhaps they are terrified of gambits) I'm just having a blast FINALLY getting over my lousy stonewall stats. I used to score really well with it before I quit playing over it and toothless scandinavian lines and, at the time, ZERO theory for common 1.e4 d5 2.e5 which I fuhreekin' hate! just getting those center pawns out of the way with the 1st piece developed is reason enough to love this line. lots of tactics and 0-0 pressure
As a white player, I welcome the Englund: it rather amuses me than posing any threat. After your line 3.Nf3 (of course no smart player takes on d6 early) Bg4 4.Bg5 Qd7 5.Nc3 Nc6 I only then play 6.exd6 and after 6...Bxd6 simply Ne4 or Nb5. Then the Englund looks really poor, while I enjoy my bishop's pair and the better pawn structure with a pawn up, with minimum black development compensation.
Igor! Your videos are not only informative, but highly entertaining. Your love for the game is apparent and contagious. Keep up the great work!
There needs to be a double thumbs up button. I really love your concise and clear explanations of the positions. You have a new subscriber and I will be checking out your threads account too.
Igor, this was GREAT. I have been looking for something to play against 1d4, because I am a Sicilian player, so I always struggle against d4. THANKS! I can't wait to try this out on Lichess
The Sicilian is hard 2 learn I was happy 2 see this
I find it funny when chess instructors say something like "then you win the bishop, and win the game". Even if I win a queen, I can still end up losing. My opponents same. 1000 elo is crazy.
😂
Excellent video...I reference this often. Igor is the best out there!!! Thanks...
Just because white plays d4 doesn't mean he is continuing with the London.
So black sacking a pawn right away on the possibility he wanted to play the London is hope chess
This is exactly what I've been waiting for! Thank you, Igor. Already a favourite, to be returned to over and over, until I make it a home in my head.
1. Thank you for finally covering a lot of lines in fast manner in one video.
2. Now I am in confusion: which opening to choose against d4: b6 (since I started playing b3/b6 after your previous videos and leveled up from 1300 to 1500 instantly - thank you for that), or to come back to this line?..
3. Could you possible please show few optins how to counter London with b6 opening, since I always get cramped/blocked position...
Thanks for yet another great video, Igor!
I played this a couple of times and I do like it, but oftentimes I get into the challenge that the opponent does not come out early with Nf3 (meaning I can't play Bg4 because that square is covered by the queen) and threatening my knight on c6 with his bishop. I then protect it with my bishop, but my opponent takes the knight. Of course it's protected by the bishop, but it means that that bishop is no longer in a position to pin the opponent's knight on f3. So I'm thinking that playing a6 early on in the game might be a good way to avoid this problem.
Having said that, this gambit is phenomenal. Even if I don't always manage to follow every step of it due to the opponent doing something else, following the principle is enough to destroy the opponent! 🥰
great part 2 of your charlick gambit. hope more to come.
+1.6 on move 1? Sorry, but I'm not gonna risk getting crushed early. It's tricky but also incredibly unsound.
Agree, takes players out of standard lines they are used to.
I like the concept of the bishop as a "long term" friend in the middle game GM Igor. It's an awesome and powerful idea! 🤗💯
What about Nb5 option for white??????
Sir one more part pls
I've played this opening since the first video, but these new lines help a lot. Can't wait for the new course, thanks a lot Igor!
This was a great video and I think I might try it. The only other thing I wished you covered was if white plays 3. e4... I find that when I'm playing against gambits I don't know, I usually just don't fight too hard to keep the pawn and just develop. Any pointers (or other videos) on how to continue in those cases? Anyway, great video!
oh this is really cool. I normally play the Albin counter gambit against the queen's gambit. But in about half of the games the play something other like the london. I'll try answering with e5. (still have to watch the variations btw). thx!
Ive gotten to the point where i dont know even how to play with all my pawns anymore. They just get in the way and slow me down.
Aggression and Gambits forever. ❤
I feel like this is the style I want to play. What rating have u got to plating like this?
I love the Danish gambit, and now I have another 2-pawn sacrificing gambit. Thank you!
Where are here pawn sacrifice??
Fantastic explanation. Thanks
Hi Igor what if after the Rook Sac and QxN at 9:41, White plays f4 blocking our Bishop and purposing a Queen trade, how do we justify the Rook and Pawn Sac?
Thank you for this video!!
very nice opening video, it works super good for me. It is very hard for white to play correctly and make no mistakes
We need one more line, if they play d5 (line 9) but as 2nd move protect the pawn with e4 instead of c4.
Thank you oh wise and mighty one...
Hello GM. Smirnov,
I would like to know your opinion, please, regarding the following early
6. Ne4 by white in the following variation:
1.d4 e5 2.dxe5 d6 3.exd6 Bxd6 4.Nf3 Nc6 5.Nc3 Bg4 6.Ne4!? (attacking the bishop on d6) 6. … Bb4+ seems only move then 7.c3 Qxd1+ 8.Kxd1 o-o-o+ 9.Ke1 I think White is better here.
I appreciate your excellent work.
My best regards!
perfect!!!
Well, I launched a game just to check this opening out, and I got white. Soooo, I played 1.e4 and got the scotch gambit rolling. Played the trick line with the weird knight jump (4.Ng5), and you know the rest ....
Yes, I learned it in another video on this very channel. So many tricks !
Igor what to do when white plays d4 e5 takes d6 Nf3 Nc6 and Bf4 ?
i always castle Queen side, I need this trick
Thanks Igor-excellent and concise as usual! I think I can use it against d4 and especially the London to take my opponent out of their comfort zone! I also think some opponents will think with 1...e5 that I am playing the Englund Gambit which can be refuted will correct play.
Maybe they would have a point 😇
I just won a game with this gambit! Thank you for the tips! My opponent played h3 early on, so I had to develop my bishop to f5 instead of g4. Nevertheless, black was still able to get a lead in development, which gave me more tactical opportunities. White never castled and eventually weakened the b4-e1 diagonal too much that I was able to take advantage of it and force a win.
15:16 might predict the future
7:20 and the follow ups are absolutely *gorgeous* 😍
In both of these videos I keep thinking, 'what if they develop to castle queen side? Would love a follow up with additional strategies for that line.
Very nice tkank you mr.Igor smirnov 🙏🌹
🙏
Thank you so much… may I ask how to face it as I’m learning the Jobava and have no idea how to play against this scary opening 😂
Is grand master repertoire series 7 caro kann book still worth after ten years please reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey, the King can move to save himself.
love this
Lately I'm not afraid of playing against D4 and a I think this video will increase my repertoire against D4.
Sir, can we play f5 before Nf6 move in the side line d5 move?
Igor you’re the best man.
@9:40 after black Qxh4, doesn't f4 neutralizes blacks attack with white being exchange up?
Sir, I have few doubts
What if white moves his Knight to d5 after Qe7 Moves at some point of time (before black castles)
Yes, I play this every time with satisfaction.
what if white's second turn is pawn to f3? (which is a trap for the black bishop) how should black respond?
that pawn would be a party-pooper pawn
I’ve been experimenting with 2… d5. If white doesn’t capture it en passant, then I later go f6 after developing some pieces. The idea of this system is to not rely on white capturing d6, because that is what players with the white pieces should avoid for as long as possible. f6 creates a threat of capture into back and having a strong pawn center, so white must capture on f6.
Also, in this system, an important opening to know that can be reached via two different transpositions is the Albin Counter-Gambit, as white can play c4 on either the second or third move. I think the Albin operates in the spirit of this gambit, and the second transposition forces the main line of the Albin, which is great for black because it reduces the amount of theory that needs to be learned from the Albin.
I've WANTED to play the Englund a long tome because I can't stand the stonewall straightjacket. It doesn't have the best stats or rep, but watching this video, it sure looks way more fun, and is THE BEST WAY to turn d4 into an "open game" with ACTIVE PIECES. I especially like the doubled bishops attacking 0-0s right away. You finally got me to test this out. Not looking forwards to losing a lot of games until the opening starts to click, but I'll also find a billion more tactics than in 50+ moves stonewall. I HATE fianchettos, so Indians & Benko etc. don't interest me like this "d4 center counter". Thanks for the video. You got me by mentioning "easy attacking plans". Gonna test that theory. PUN INTENDED
15:41 is exactly what happens 9/10 times. Your opponent says f u I’ll use a database because I don’t know how to play. And that’s the reality of online chess
Hi Igor, i've been dealing with Catalan opening in OTB tournaments and I don't know a good, maybe solid defense since my e6-d5-c5 pawn setup isn't reliable. Can you recommend any video about crushing the Catalan?
Thankyou for this Please make a video on how to play against English
Very thorough. Very nice.
Can you please suggest how to escape from this situation? Black's rook is under threat. Did I make any mistakes in the steps?
1. d4 e5
2. dxe5 Nc6
3. Nf3 Qe7
4. Bf4 Qb4+
5. Nc3 Qxf4
6. Nd5
Playing blitz with players between 1600-1700 elo on lichess and experienced line 10) at least 10 times so decided to stop playing it on blitz, only for bullet now haha
Nice Job on this video very informative!
Hello Igor, I just wanted to tell you that just your thumbnails alone make my day
Really great and so many possible positions covered! For me best response to 1.d4 😊
okay, you’ve convinced me to ditch the hippo 😂
GM Smirnov, I surmise from your banner pic that you're a trained fighter. Body, hand and head positioning is right on. Am I correct in my supposition?
Oh, and, your video is informative and entertaining as always. 🙂
Just saw it today and I tried it. This is the first time a trick worked perfectly
great stuff Igor
But how would you react on:
1. d4 e5
2. xe5 d6
3. xd6 Bishxd6
4. Knf3 Knc6
5. Knc3 Bishg4
6. Bishg5 f6
7. Bishh4 Qe7
8. Knb5 - ?
Welcome back Igor Nation.
(Igor nation merch when??)
@retrospect Glad you enjoy the videos. It's great to know lot of gamers are getting into Chess. Haven't thought about merch yet.
I now only play this for black and i am around 1400. This englund setup was the only time i almost won at this 2000 18yrd kid on OTB at my club ahah
Thanks for this second video about it! will study it now
Edit: My god... what an insade vid ahahah i commented before watching all of this.... what a master piece
Thank you
Excellent content!
Glad you think so!
You answered all the what if questions here ❤
usually they move the pawn up on the sides to attack the bishop, what do you n that case attack the knight or move back o 5:11-5-31?
Igor , I won a lot of games with the help of your lessons ❤ , thanks our great coach .
Igor your coverage and explanation is superb Thanks
Glad you think so!
Hi igor. Fan of ur videos.
I have been playing this since i saw ur earlier video on this.
The move that causes the most trouble for me is after i move Qe7, white moves Nd5 attacking the queen.
Whats the ideal move forward?
Great video
Thanks its wonderful opening
excelente Maestro IGOR SMIRNOV, me gustaría que me enseñaran la apertura con blancas saliendo con Nf3 GRACIAS quedo atento y como siempre aprendiendo de su Maestría en el juego de ajedrez .
Another great video by Igor
Just amazing one ❤️
Another positive feedback.
I tried all systems against d4 i could find and this one works best for me.
what if 6 Nd5 attacking the Q?
You are awesome love your videos...😊
😊
McGregor next opponent
What if Nd5!!!
What if white after c6 white plays f4?
this is so good
What do you do when opponent doesn't take the d6 pawn after the 2nd move?
So, are blackburne-hartlaub gambit and hartlaub-charlick gambit the same???
1:41 white should move Knight to d4 checking the queen and if queen pushes up that would be a deadly mistake because the knight would just move to c2 checking the king and forking the queen i would think moving the queen first to d2 would be better because you wouldnt lose the tempo
Dear GM Igor Smirnov, i rly admire your tactics and advices, but i have never ever played a game where my oppenent took on d6 after d4-e5; dxe5-d6... i'm sure you have some good solution for them as well, if you please share some of your ideas about what then?
I think you should state that 3.exd6 is not White's best move. After a developing move like 3.Nf3 or 3.Bf4 White is just up a pawn.
- Sacrifice the e5 pawn to avoid London System and initiate Charlick Gambit (0:18)
- Develop queenside pieces and castle queenside for an attack (1:09)
- Use bishops actively and employ the Greek gift tactic if possible (2:03)
- Address white's deviations such as fianchettoing the kingside bishop or avoiding pawn captures (8:47)
- Utilize the queen on f6 to create threats and disrupt white's coordination (16:57)
Hello, love this video, do you have PGN available? Many thanks
Yes, you can find it in the description. You will find it in the blog post link.
