5 Queen's Gambit Traps Every Chess Player Should Know

I wonder if there are extra black knights OTB when you play the albin counter gambit

I am gonna use this thing

“2700!”
“Wow that’s high!”
“On Lichess”
“Oh”

Wow!
My Elo is 1800 and I play Queen’s Gambit and I hadn’t seen the Qf3 line winning the rook.

Hi Eric! I just saw this video yesterday and played the Albin counter gambit trap today as black! Made me super happy :)

Hi, what software are you using to show these traps?

I an a 74 yr old novice.I learned a little bit about chess as a child like how the pieces moved and what the objective was. played a few games with family but no one knew any strategy so i am sure we would have lost against anyone who would have studied chess. kind of let the game go for a while but ten i got a friend who enjoyed the game. i know he has no rating but he and his family and friends played a lot of chess over the last 50 years so when we lived close we would play some and his experience proved out as he won most of the time. but as we played i got better and got it up to about a fifty fifty game. he says the way i play confused him as i was always agressive and he was on defense most of the time lol. truth is i dont know defense so i have to attack to have a chance. its a lot of fun and next time i see him i am going to try some of these gambits and see if he catches on lol. main thing for me is having FUN

What program is he using?

Thanks fr your work Eric, bin a pleasure,

I played a game and they played the "reverse london" exactly like you said, wow.

One dubious trap in the Bd7 line after axb5 Bxb5, you can play Bxc4!? When the bishop recaptures you have Qa4+ I had an opponent play Nc6 once 😂, what a windmill.

Best play it’s “I have the whole center and you have no pieces developed.” Though.

Damn I love your videos. Went on and tried the first trap in my first game, and the opponent easily bit the trap. Beautiful

Eric: 'There's another trap where you are black'

Nc6 can save your rook!
Through this you can only sacrifice your knight not a rook!

this is really valuable, and he is just giving it to us ;)

When you started showing the reverse London trap, I was 100% sure you were about to show the bogoljubov trap. It's missing from this video :)

Dying @ the person saying queen takes e1 lmao

nobody ever accepts this shit

Scalene !!! Like if you watched the video that far! :)

This is the type of content I enjoy the most! Thank You :) Huge THumbs UP

I learned the Albin counter as the Alekhine tramp

And then you say, "oh no, my queen!"

the most mellow guy
of serial killer chess

What is that database? Is it based on amateur games?

I can never make it through more than about 30 seconds of your video, its like your mentally slow in everything but chess, dude, get to the point

I don't see why Qa4 is not considered in the last position. It's not ideal, but I don't think you are losing materiel beside a bishop for a knight.

why do you have to take the knight with check after queen trade in the reverse london line, can you not fork king and rook?

"and then you say 'oh no! my pawn!'"

Very happy I ran into your channel! Excellent commentary and great videos. Thank you!

Who the hell downvotes such a video? Somebody with a big ego and lack of chess skills?

If only he didn't waffle so much!

Oh no my Queen’s Gambit!

after hours on videos on chess, i still dont know what a gambit is.

I play a similar trap as white against the French when I play the Tarasch variation

Try’s to learn queens gambit instead learns how to stop it 😬

How can i play chess with my friend online on an app or a site

Sorry Eric, you're a fine chess player i'm sure but spending so much time on founding traps instead of playing "real" chess, I don't know, I'm far for being an IM or GM but I prefer playing the game. Seems like you never evolved from wayward queen attack, fried liver and so on

The knight really don't defend each other 😂

I brought out my extra knight in a lasker trap game just cuz I wanted to play with three knights

your voice makes me sleepy instead of learning, but I'll learn though
