Chess Openings: Learn to Play the Nakhmanson Gambit!
Today’s video is for you Scotch Gambit players who are trying to find a response against the main line with 4. …Nf6. This variation has caused many Scotch Gambit players (including myself for years) to stop playing the Scotch Gambit. Much of the time white will push the pawns forward in the center, even out the material, and have an even middlegame position. However, there is a crazy chess opening for white that we can play coming out of the Scotch Gambit, that being the Nakhmanson Gambit. The Nakmanson is one of the most wild, tricky, and fun chess gambits ever created. If you are looking for tricks and traps to win fast, the Nakmanson is a great chess gambit for white. The list of chess opening traps is unparalleled, and if black is not already prepared for the chess opening theory, there is a big chance that they are in some deep trouble. The Nakhmanson Gambit is not well known, but that’s part of what makes it so dangerous. In fact, if black goes into the accepted variation, we will continue by offering another piece! There is so much chess opening theory, chess opening principles, chess opening moves, chess opening strategy, chess opening ideas, chess opening tricks, and chess opening traps that can help you win more chess games fast. The Nakhmanson Gambit is a tricky chess opening that is very hard to play against. In addition, the Nakhmanson is a ton of fun to play especially for the beginner chess player who wants to improve quickly. The Nakhmanson is a top tier chess gambit for white, and continues grow in popularity as it’s potential continues to be discovered. We hope you enjoy learning how to play the Nakhmanson Gambit!

White:Loses all the Pieces on the board and takes nothing and Now is left with the KingRuddell: "I like Whites Game"Jokes Aside This Gambit looks good and I never heard of it so Thanks for show casing it Time to add it to the collection
Thanks a lot for your videos!
Any thoughts on the Zhurazev Counter gambit?
Could you make one on the Grünfeld defence? I know it's extremely complex and one of the most theoretically heavy openings out there. But it would be nice if you could cover the main ideas behind it and the most common traps
e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 d4 exd4 Bc4 Nf6 O-O Nxe4 Nc3 Nd6 Bg5!
Nakhmanson gambit decline.
Please cover it.
Nakhamanson broken
I also get into the Nakhmanson Gambit with the Italian opening (not just the Scotch):
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 Nf6
4. d4 exd4
5. 0-0 Nxe4
6. Nc3
I have only one request that keep uploading vedios like this.
And you should also upload vedios of games.
Just like agadmator or Levy.
Appreciate your video's so much!
Just won my first daily game using this! Thanks!! 🙏
I like how you introduced this as a solution to the problem of the Scotch gambit. If every chess teaching was introduced as a solution to a particular problem, it would be much better received. Thanks!
5:54 knight D4 will be worst move,
Rb8 pinning queen to mate lose queen
I just started using thi, get there via bishops opening rather than scotch but he this loads of fun, adrenaline bits city
I just played this opening against ChessMaster for PS2 yesterday and won beautifully!! This program doesn't mess around, either! It beats me quite often, actually. (My rating last time I checked, against real people online was 2195 and that was about 8 years ago.) It has made me resort to my favorite types of openings like Stonewalls, Hippos and basically anything that closes the center. Anyway, would you like to see that game? Should I just type it on here? Let me know in comments. Be warned, it's a 55 mover so it's not a really quick game but it is quite awesome!! Maybe you could review it with an engine or just by playing through it… Let me know!
Ok, here's a game that I think is very fascinating. I (unknown rating) had the white pieces and ChessMaster for PS2 (rated 2755 USCF) had the black pieces. The date was Sept. 16- 2022. The reason I find this game so fascinating is because I almost never win this quickly against this program! In fact, he (it) usually kicks my butt!
Time control= 5 min + 3 sec. Enjoy and tell me what you think (meaning whoever is reading this). Here we go!

Yesterday I defeated a player online with the Nakhmanson gambit but the game went in a completely different variation which isn't shown here. I first became very worried thinking that maybe I messed up something. But no I actually didn't mess up anything. Actually the opponent played a very different move which isn't shown in any Nakhmanson gambit video. It resulted in a long game and I couldn't finish it fast. But yes I was always in a dominating position in the whole game. Very comfortable victory. This gambit is really one of the BEST gambits in the history of chess💖💖💖💖💖💖. So what happened in my game is that in this position-3:11 my opponent didn't play anything like what you showed. Instead he played the move pawn takes b2. Then I first captured the knight with my rook and gave check and then I captured the pawn on b2 with my bishop. I had to capture the pawn on b2 with my bishop otherwise he would capture my rook and promote to a queen and I would be in big trouble. This become a very different game and I was all on my own. It was a long game but I was always dominating the game and had a comfortable win. You missed showing this variation in your video. It's okay it's understandable as you are also after all a human bro🙂. We miss out things no matter how much we try. No one's perfect. A new video suggestion from me. You can make a part 2 of this video showing this variation if you want bro.
Thanks a lot Solomon för soo nice variation in this farmors opening! 😊👍♟
