Best Chess Gambits [Most Popular Openings]

Watching u from Africa I have been enjoying your videos thanks Gm

Master Smirnov: would you be so kind to activate the automatic subtitles? When english is not our main language, your accent and speed is tough to understand, thanks in advance.

I found 2 seconds only this move Rxd8 Nxb7 after this Rd7 is attacks two pieces

Rxd8, Nxb7, and Rd7 forks the bishop and knight

Can you please do a video on the traxler counter attack?

I thought Vienna Gambit might get featured in this video. Wonder what Smirnov thinks about it!

Holy shit bad audio quality

Booo! No Evan's Gambit.

Interesting ❤

I like it

Rxd8 Nxb7
Rd7

Add Botez gambit

Very Good 👏👏👏👏👏👏

no, black doesnt save a piece cause after rook takes queen-knight takes queen; whites rook forks bishop & knight

I played a game where he won in the ruy. e4 e5, Nc3 Nf6, Bb5 Nd4, Bc4 a6, Nxe5 Qg5 similar to the blackburne shilling

Marshal is amazing on amateur level

Really great list. I'm lower rated so I'm sticking with the Smirnov Gambit over the Wing Gambit.

Good afternoon. I just recently returned to playing chess after not playing for 30 years. Of course I know how the pieces move but that tactics were basic. After watching a few vids, I have tried some out. I have a question from a reoccurring situation; often my bishops end of vertical from each other. For example, bishops on e2 and e3. Is this not good? That is my main question at this time. Something of notice though, there was a move, Il Duce, in which a pawn could attack directly left or right when an opposing pawn is moved adjacent and remained idle over a turn.

Audio is very muffled

Thanks for the video!

Your mic is really muted and muddy in this video, please use your usual sound settings from now on.

Fantastic video, thanks!

Awesome video. Thank you.

R x Qd8 N x Q b7 R d 7 forking both minor pieces

Where is Smith Morra Gambit?!

Do I see that correctly black can safe the game in "Wing Gambit for White against the Sicilian Defense" by Nc5?

Nice video.

You sounded better at home and we got to see your kitty

I learned the top 2 gambits in this video from GM Smirnov and I have to say I get about 75% win rate. My preferred one is the Russeau gambit, you can win games in beautiful ways, GM Smirnov has dedicated videos, I highly recommend it!

Thank you very much for obliging to my request (if you thought it that way). I had suggested to make more videos on unusual openings.
Would like to see more on unusual openings like g4 (as white) and b3, b6 (as black)

Very useful

I love you're traps and gambits, but after l started playing them in rapid games, my ratings have dropped significantly😂 (1400-1000). I just seem to forget the details, and now I blunder constantly while trying to remember what to play. Also I'm stuck playing opponents who only play traps. I'm hoping for the tide to turn.../Asle

Benko is really annoying, i am 2100 rapid on lichess and benko and benoni annoy me a lot. Nowdays i play better against them, but they are still very annoying.
I might study them for myself, because i do not enjoy dry openings as a black

HI. You mentioned 67 Gambits ? i know of 103 plus gambits.... i keep finding more !

Double pin is tricky

I love watching your videos. I’m learning a lot. Currently I’m winning an unofficial chess tournament at a boys’ boarding high school where my husband teaches. They never invited a woman before to play in their chess tournament and maybe they never will again after I’m done with them! Winning chess is a blast! Thank you for your help!

Wow! Thanks a lot Igor for Your Giant Work! I am a Gambit Player for both colors , so this is perfect for me! 😊👍♟

😎

Thanks GM.
