Ruy Lopez Players Can't Handle This ULTRA-RARE GAMBIT

Six months ago I made a video about the Kevitz Gambit, which is the opening you see on your screen right now and

this

is a very

rare

but very powerful opening that you can use against Roy Lopez and I'm bringing it back today. because I just played an International Master on leeches and I wanted to show

this

game just to put Kevin's Gambit back on the map but also to highlight how dangerous it can be and even to really strong

players

if they are not prepared for it and why would they be prepared for it, no one has ever played cons, they might even get the opening wrong right away and I want to highlight this with a really nice instructional game that I just played now, what is kevitz?

Gambit, you may be wondering, this is something you can play against Roy Lopez and if your opponents play Knight F3, you play Knight to C6, they play Bishop to B5, you can play the move G6, this is Roy's fiancé variation Lopez and No It's a ridiculous move. This is something that Magnus Carlson has played with. It's something that many strong Grandmasters have played, but it's definitely not the most common option for Black this turn. However, if you look at the Masters database, you will see. that C3 is definitely by far white's most popular pick, so my opponent is an international master, of course, he probably knows a little theory, but is he ready for kevitz's

gambit

s?

That is the proof we want to see now. This is Panda F5, which was not what it was when you played G6. Opponents don't think the idea is to play F5, but it turns out to be a very dangerous weapon, as I hope to show now. I'll just point out that no one has played it. I say it's really weird, well six months ago when I made that video 25,000 people watched it, thanks to everyone who watched it, there were 25 games total in the database, that's like no one is playing this today, uh, six months later. There are 247 games in the database, so it's multiplied by 10, which is amazing, thanks to everyone who is playing it, but you also see, although this line is a little iffy, how could F5 be the correct movement? computer would ever play it you see it scores pretty good for blacks 53 for blacks compared to 44 uh for whites so obviously there's something dangerous about this and let's dig a little deeper to see if we can figure out a link to the video if I want to see it here, it's like the Tidy Up part of the video, if you really want to see the analysis, there will be a link.

I'll also leave a link to the Vampire Chicken channel if you want, that's my second one. Channel, that's my gaming channel, if you want to see my real thoughts. I was recording this game, but this will just be his analysis. Go watch the Vampire Chicken channel if you want to see the actual game being played, eh, but this was it. It was I who was facing an I am and he decided to face F5 which is definitely the most common option but here's why this position can be so dangerous after E4, most opponents will mess up in this position and It's only about 10 percent.

Most of the time, opponents come up with the main move, er, the only move that White has to maintain any kind of advantage and if you play anything else, it's very easy to get it wrong with White, which you probably think my opponent if you've never seen him. This before, I think it is very logical to think that since White my knight is attacked, I should probably move it to the square I would most like to occupy, the D4 square, however, if you go there immediately you will get double pun, you can imagine which Black is simply going to take, however it turns out that this is actually the best way to play for White, but most of the time opponents will take C6 so they can play Knight to D4 and avoid the double. puns and that's exactly what we saw, but I'll show you how to get an advantage with black if this is what your opponents do now.

The thing is if the opponents go to D4 and I don't want to get too deep into this. We already explained it in a previous video, but the thing is that you can back out and the reason why White can get some kind of advantage is that at some points you will be able to play D3 and get rid of this Monster. However, the pawn on e4 is now one of those situations where okay, this is bad according to the computer, but in the database Black is winning 80 of the time from here, which is a little crazy. , what seems to happen most commonly is that opponents go here at this time.

The bishop needs to go back to E2, but I guess no one ever does, everyone goes back to A4, which is wrong, so you can play D5 and build this Monster Center and I just want to go one more move in depth to show you how. Things can get dangerous because after they take here, which is more popular for some reason, it's not really the time for White to get greedy. We have this idea of ​​playing Queen to G5 and going straight after this G-pawn, which is a big problem for White. you can't castle on the kingside, this is going into a monster attack, not only does the bishop to H3 lead to black winning like a ton of material because you have to give up your rook, but it also takes this jeep to the open the H. file so you can play Queen to H4 and if you're ever going to break H3, this is already like a monster attack, uh, for Black, so Queen to G5 is a problem and the reason why you need your Bishop on G2 is, sorry, on E2. is that you want to play G3 but if you play it in this position now this bishop is lurking, you need this bishop on E2 to avoid this.

What else could you do? You could play Rey to F1, but this doesn't really solve all the problems. Black's problems continue to develop. Notice how you are in this position. Okay, at some point you're going to back off. At some point you're going to take out tonight. You are going to play for a monster attack with black. Even this, it's probably good for White if he finds that all this goes back to E2 and he knows a lot of theories from here, but it seems very dangerous because you're playing D5, you're trying to get this guy back and if White has On the flank As Castle's king, there will always be a chance for Black to attack, even if it is a bit doubtful;

However, most of the time when you play this position, your opponents will take C6 and here we are back. to the game now this is exactly what my opponent did right. I got C6 back and now the Knight goes into D4 and this is where you can start to see what the problem is with White because I play C5 hoping the Knight will move anywhere. and my opponent didn't choose the correct square, which is actually common again as these are very common mistakes that many opponents of all levels are going to play. After the Knight moves away a little better, he will go to E6, but the ideas are the same for Black.

I could take this and the main idea is to play Queen to D3, so wherever the night goes, I solve some problems and just play Queen to D3 and watch this all over the Queen side. it's just blocked, so this is like winning incredibly positionally for Black because White can never solve all of these problems fast enough. Now this was the best way for White to play it. This pawn is so weak that I will eventually get it back. I can keep castling and eventually some Rook will probably come in and pounce on this Pawn, no big deal, but even worse is going back to B3 keeping more pieces on the board and this is a piece that could potentially get trapped. in the future consider an A5 A4, it would immediately trap the Knight, so it's not good to keep pieces on the board when you're so tight and it's especially bad after Queen to D3.

Now go ahead and ask your computer what's going on here. I will say that Black is winning, this is a crush, we are on move nine, uh, and I am winning incredibly, so this is already like a complete crush, that White should not be able to get out of this jam, however, I was really proud. Even if you play against a strong player you get a good position and sometimes you know that you get cheated or let things slip away. I think I did a good job here controlling the game until the end and it's kind.

It's interesting because we're in the middlegame, White is a little bit locked in, but even at the end of the game I kept him tied, it was a really cool thing what happens now that my opponent tries to break free with the pawn to F3, I guess. He expects me to take the pawn or something, but I continue to develop. I play Bishop Tanks F5 and now try Queen E2 as if he isn't able to castle. He cannot develop his Queen side. You should probably try removing the blocker. in D3 but I'm not going anywhere. I'm never going to move it.

Now I castled. I do it again. I just want to point out that the idea of ​​the computer is to perform moves like B6. After something, play A5. Let's say your A5 game gets cancelled. and this basically traps this Knight by force, the computer wants you to just abandon it, uh, if you play A4, we always have the option to play Bishop, here the Knight is still trapped. I'm just pointing this out because it's a little ridiculous. You are going to play the Rook towards A3. Are you going to run towards the same diagonal as my Bishop?

Are you going to try to go here and then if I unpin it, you're going to sacrifice your Rook like it's really bad and that bad? The computer says you should just throw your horse away. You lost it, you might as well get a pawn for that, so there are all these ideas lurking in the position, but after we got here, this didn't happen after I got back here, he played the Queen until E2, I castled the queen. Of course, this is also very strong, but keep in mind the idea of ​​trying to catch the horses, which could be a very useful idea for future games.

He recovers and I recover with my tower, recovering with the pond is also crazy. strong, but I was very inspired by the famous game, you may know it: Louis Paulson against Paul Murphy. You know the game where Paul Murphy had a rook on D3 and all these pieces were removed. That's what he was trying to emulate and it felt good. about it and I just have a very dominant position now the opponent tries to go out at night. I had a quick thought like, well, where is this going tonight? Why did Caballo A3 play? And I'm looking at the boxes, where will he go? and I thought to myself, oh, he's probably trying to go to C2 so he can maneuver back to E3 and maybe put some pressure on my bishop.

I thought okay, that makes sense. I decided to take F3, but in this position after he takes it. back I didn't go for the pawn right away. I thought if he went here he could play Pawn to D4. This is the kind of thing I'm trying to avoid. I have him immobilized. This could be very, very good for me. but I see no reason to allow this bishop to come out, so no matter how bad it is for White, I just don't want to allow it, so I make a normal development move. I just want to put my pieces in order.

After the game and I thought he would probably see it too, this is where I thought the opponent was going so I take this opportunity to take the pawn now I'm attacking this knight so no time to play D4 you have to do it . move your knight away, which is exactly what he did, but now I connect the bishop to D3 and start thinking about how I could checkmate the opponents, the bishop is very strong there preventing the king from going up and I'm thinking about myself in right now, is there any way to get a checkmate?

Can I line up two rooks on the f-file and then somehow eliminate this knight? I don't know, this guy will have to get out of the way, maybe he can get him out. out of the way and maybe he can try to perform some kind of checkmate attack. Well, the opponent throws a Knight to A5. This is a very good move. The Horse will come to C4, where he supports this guy. This is one of the pieces. that I'm going to try to take out, I'm trying to take out the defender in E3, so having another Knight that can come in is a great idea.

I play Bishop up to D6. I'm thinking in my head that maybe I'll have some chance to go and take this with my bishop on some line, but I also have the idea that I feel very comfortable in this position if White wants to exchange on D6. I don't need that bishop, I need to eliminate it. this guy's defender, so I stick with the Rook on f8 and now we're starting to see some of this lineup, if I can just get rid of these Defenders, I'll potentially be able to make a very strong attack against White. now my bishop is captured, I just take it back and after B3 the opponent still needs a lot of time to find some kind of square to take out this bishop and connect the rooks or castle, it's getting there, it's almost there, but now I play Knight to D5, which does not make a mistake, of course, my idea is to try to eliminate this Defender, so I would be very happy if you would thank me for the Checkmate, is what I would be saying to the opponents, but instead of falling in that.

He, of course, develops his bishop and this gives me time to eliminate this Defender and after this I can hand over this check. Now I overlooked some that after taking tonight, this king could go here and everything. He would be defended, but we are about to enteran endgame that's also kind of fun because after this fourth sequence I basically take, he folds, I drop my bishop, we can see that I'm completely dominating in this endgame and this is like I'm tied up for the entire middle game, now the entire endgame is going to be tied up because if you take a quick look, my tower is significantly better than his tower.

I'm in the only open rank, my bishop. is better than his bishop, his bishop is currently facing a wall and my king actually has the potential to go much further than his king too, because I'm on top, I have a majority on one side of the board, here it's a two against one, so in the future I have some potential to go through and make a queen and all these things. It happened that he plays rookie one, so if I control him he can go here. I start bringing the king. He plays B and I want to keep the wall, so I play B6.

He let you capture. I retire this guy. stuck in the game just trying to improve my pieces as much as possible. He puts his pawn here, which keeps my king out and perhaps allows his bishop in at some point in the future. It seems very reasonable, but after a few moves I also want to restrict everything. I continue on the back rank as much as possible, but at some point I start pushing these pawns, uh, and it's very difficult, how can White even stop it? He's been kind of tied up and worse all this time without really any hope as he has. keep making random moves like he's playing random moves because there's really nothing white can even try right.

Now you see this is my main idea: keep pushing all these guys, so he needs to use his bishop. somehow to be able to get into the game and block these guys, but even that is not that easy of a task. I have all these main boxes like white. I want the bishop or somewhere around here, like if the bishop was on H4, maybe there would be some guy. of the blockade, but there is no way to get there, well, he comes up with this idea that he has the idea to eventually get in, maybe this bishop can get to F4, but now I saw that the bishop just wouldn't get there in time.

I was able to play G3 after this replay. He's trying to get the bishop there in time. I thought of some clever tactics here, but I thought you know what the easiest solution is: just push this pawn and if the bishop goes here, I can do it. just put my rook here and I'll take your bishop. You can try to block, but I'll still take your bishop. If you walk away I make a queen and that's why she decided to quit so play Kevin's Gambit and if you like this game please subscribe.
