I searched 500 pages of the book Unorthodox Chess Openings to find these 7 openings which are extremely bad, according to stockfish.

At 9:10 what is white plays Bishop c4
This forces the king to move away and you can take the rook and skewer the king and queen. Am I missing something?
I GUESED THE EXACT 3.7 EVAL AND KNIGHT MOVE ON THE MOSQUITO LETS GO!!!
Damiano defense is also very bad opening, result sim forced checkmate.
You forgot Damiano, that opening is awful
Mativinsky Gambit i see mate in 3 when you take a knight: bishop C4, Queen F5 and when king go to E8, you play Queen F7.
I noticed that the bongcloud didn't make this video, so clearly it must be a good opening
I'm sad that there is not the Coca-Cola Gambit
Can’t wait to play all of these
Half of these are gambits
L my gambit is worse my Latvian gambit variation is +3.78💀 but if opponent messes up it’s mate in 2
once when playing martin i was white and it was +61 position
You know the opening is bad when it's called "the drunken king" like most openings are called some fancy shit like "the Parisian sword manoeuvre, king Henry VIII variation"
I was so close I guessed 3.4
You kind of went a little overboard on the depth of the variations you could have squeezed in 10 or 15 openings
8:57 white forks the rook and the king
9:06 why not Qd5? you win a rook
i just met a staller,stalled for 14:41 and then I won
I really like this video. It's a lot of fun and a refreshing change to spend some time looking at fabulously weird openings as opposed to all those sensible,calm , good openings we should all really,really study. Please make another one.
4:51 what about Nd2? It has a knight defended by a queen, a bishop, another knight and the king too.
I was indeed excited for this!
The Englund gambit is the one I see all the time as a 1300 rated player, and it’s garbage, I can’t believe it didn’t make the list. I just checked opening tree and I haven’t lost a game to it in the last year. It’s so easy to prepare for and the lines are so easy to memorize, I can’t believe anyone plays it. It’d probably kill against 600’s but I can’t imagine anyone above 1000 losing to it. It’s fun for me, I love seeing it honestly, but it’s garbage for black. It’s not tricky enough to justify purposely getting a losing position in the first five moves
in the jerome gambit, considering the evaluation i just randomly said -4.2 and when i saw that it was ACTUALLY -4.2 i popped off so hard
At 18:15, I don't understand why it's not beneficial to move the king forward one square. It protects the knight, and even if the white queen moves up 1 square to compensate, you can still put pressure on it with a pawn, that'll be defended by the king.

"I do not recommend the Jerome Gambit"
Blasphemy!
13:13 if you don’t take back you lose the rook to
I remember someone played the Mosquito Gambit against me. He lost.
I guess the plus 2.9 I promise I did not know the answer
I won’t remember any of this and that is why my rating will remain at 1300.
9:00 isn’t this mate in 2?
omg sheldon cooper
11:45
oops u mistakenly typed orsini instead of bongcloud
Drunken King variation I was playing 2000 2100 elo
Me a 400 playing these cuz I don’t know what to do
Now I understand the scoring now.
9:00 isn’t this mate in 2 because of Bc4 then Qf7?
4:36 guessed the best move gg
In the matovsinky gambit you could’ve went queen d5 and fork their king a rook
9:07 why not bishop c4 check in response to queen takes? Moves available are block with bishop on d5 then recapture as white bd5 only legal move is kf8 then forced mate with qf7 or am i missing something?
at the lower levels the big mistakes people make are not the openings themselves but simply not knowing how to defend them, youll be surprised how many people lose their queen within the first 10 moves in the Wayward queen attack
kmm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, he is a goog teacher
sorry good teacher
I think you should talk about the damiano defense
In matovinsky gambit you coulve played pawn captures knight king takes then bishop check king moves then queen takes rook checkmate.
6:30 You can sacriface the queen and just play Be2
Tumble weed is the Bongclouds brother
Love the Jerome Gambit for bullet and blitz though.
It's the first move that enters the Matovisnky Gambit…uhhh…it's the only legal move also
Nelson's sense of humor is underrated
Please make a list of most fun, most played gambits.
I actually know a lot about matovinsky gambit before this video
