In this video, IM Andrey Ostrovskiy brings to you the Elephant Gambit. The Elephant Gambit starts with the moves:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d5
The Elephant Gambit is a very useful surprise weapon and definitely one worth knowing. Black plays very aggressive to take over the initiative early on.

Great video. What board is it you are using?
I recently played against this The Elephant I played it wrong and got beat. win some lose some thanks for posting this. It can become like Scandinavian correct?
Nice gambit! I will try it once in my own games.
i like the way of your teaching..,you show a actual chessboard…
For the beginner it is quite quickly, but you are quite good teacher. Maybe for the chess idiot like me it is good to repeat what was said. And what about Russian? Are you not Russian? Your English is very good. But I must admit, that I like patriots. Russian is quite frequented language – one of the world languages. So what about Russian? I would understand it more, I am Polish. My thumb up for this video. And I must mark for other viewers that from my point of view such presentations like this one are far better than reading of the books with chess tactics and strategy, because this book are very boring.
This is such a good channel!
4:02 subtle McDonald’s plug?
Everytime there is some problem, there we have your channel with a instructive line to counter.
Appreciate your work. Keep making more OTB videos. These are easier to remember than the screen.
I play after D5 Nxe5 Bd6 Bc4 taking advantage of D5 gone hitting F7, now Bxe5 , I play Qh5 threatening Qxf7 and also Qxe5.
Do comment what's your evaluation of my line?
It's C40 Elephant Gambit line I think.
Jedna mala poprawa. Pierwsza czesc widea – czarne ponoc mialy wygrac. No, to lepsze bylo pokazywac od strony czarnych. O ile Pan nie rozumie po polsku, potrafilbym napisac zwyklym lacinskim alfabetem, ale nie wiem w ogole czy pan umie po rosyjsku. Azbuka niž bym napisal, to bylyby wieki. Wiec tlumaczenie pierwszych dwoch zdan po angielsku. The translation of the first two phrases from Polish to English: One small correction. The first part of video. It was said, that black was to win. So, it was better to show the play from the black position
From my egoistic point of view it would be better to hear you in Russian language, which I would understand more.
Quite good video.
I like your videos. Wanna play on lichess?
Is this Gambit more successful than the Latvian Gambit? Why?
