Winning in 10 Moves with the Orthoschnapp Gambit

Hi everyone, I'm Jonathan Schrodson, I actually have my kids running around upstairs, they're having a blast, there may be a little audio in the background, but I wanted to sit here and make this video for you today because I just won a game on 10

moves

I beat the French defense using one of my favorite opening weapons surprises the ortho brandy

gambit

and the real reason I wanted to make this video is that my opponent actually played a line that I don't think we've discussed here on the channel main thing, so I wanted to take the opportunity to delve a little deeper into the theory.

I'll leave a link in the description if you want to go back and watch the original video that I already made, but uh. You heard me right. I said main channel because there is breaking news. There is now a second channel you can subscribe to for more Jonathan Shrunts content. Up to four subscribers. This will be the channel where I post a lot of the silliest chess content. Things that don't really belong on my educational channel and I may even be posting gaming content. Did you know that I am currently the world record holder in Diablo 2 Big Time Speed ​​Runner?

You don't want to miss it all. the road to nine double-digit views is booming, you won't want to miss it, be sure to subscribe, but with all that in mind, we're going to get serious here for a second and take a look at this game and get into the theory of the ortho brandy, so the main idea here for white is that I'm going to recover once with the c-pawn on d5 and play the queen's move to b3. The main idea is whether Black accepts the tactic my opponent made. bishop to c4 and we have this very interesting position from the beginning, so we are already asking Black a very serious question about how they are going to defend that f7 pawn that we have as white, but if you think about it from our perspective.

White finds it very easy to coordinate all the pieces and find harmonious squares, for example we can play knight on c3 next, if this pawn defends we can always play d3 even if we sacrifice a second pawn to take out this bishop somewhere . this diagonal knight reaches f3 and white castles on the kingside he castles on the queenside I'll let you know later once I know what you're doing and if you turn the board for just a minute it's not so comfortable for black to defend this pawn. If you use a knight, you always have to worry somehow about this bishop and some line could be taking the knight and if you use a queen, the two main ways to do it are queen to e7 and queen to d7 again, there will be a link.

If you want to go and learn the main lines about this opening in the description below, they both have consequences even if you are blocking your bishop, so what I want to talk about is actually the second most popular move, this is what my opponent does. I played the queen to f6, this is also not an ideal square for the queen because you are a bit in the way of your knight, but it has the benefit of defending this pun, uh, this is probably possible for black, there is a move that Black can play, however, after the knight to c3, White's main move attacking this pawn, Black has never made the main move, there is a way for Black to get an advantage here, but if you take a look at the leach database, no one is playing it. a big surprise for everyone and let's take a look at a lot of these

moves

here, they are actually all mistakes for black so if you get this position and they play queen f6 they are probably not prepared if the opponent was prepared to try to get an advantage, they probably would have chosen one of the two main lines, so there is a good chance that if you get here you can win this game and unfortunately my opponent made the worst move in this position that we will start with, which it's the bishop on f5 and maybe you've already noticed the reason why this is a horrible mistake, black is now losing, but it's really strange and especially in a blitz game it's very strange that the queen is here. on b3 um and it seems like a natural idea to play bishop to f5 and in fact many people have fallen into this. 127 people have fallen for this so I think my opponent became the 128th victim of this trap but after the bishop on f5 you can now take on b7 and obviously here I'm going to win the rook so I should be able to win the departure.

It was a nice, clean ending, so we'll show the rest. I took the rook and black decided. to return, obviously there are some temptations to perhaps exchange the queen in this position, but much stronger is actually taking f7 trying to remove the queen defender. My opponent didn't want to take my bishop, but now he is hit once again by another elimination. the defender moved the knight to d5 was the final touch, my opponent had to give up here because if you take my bishop or move your king, I'm going to take your queen, so it was a clean and easy victory, uh, because my opponent played the bishop to f5. but let's see here, uh, it's not that easy, obviously the f5 bishop is bad, but it's not that easy, what else could black play well?

The most popular move is actually the knight to c6 and this is obviously a very normal idea for Black to aim for. In this type of position you are trying to play knight on a5, but before doing that you really need to block this diagonal just to make sure there are no checks against the black king, so one of the normal ideas for black is to play. bishop d7 and then try to play the knight on a5, this in real life is difficult for people to play because you are offering a sacrifice, you are giving white the opportunity to take b7 and often white could end up being material because if we take b7 and they play rook to b8 maybe we will take the c pawn but very often this is a very good way for black to try to combat our opening, they give back a little to try to stop the attack of the White, huh, however there are ways for White to even improve in this position.

The main move is the knight takes e4. This is obviously a super logical move, but I think White could do even better by playing the knight g to e2 and it's not really about the material. What this move does is First of all, it blocks the e-file, so we'll go back to look at some lines where we actually took e4. It will be much better if we take e4 and the e7 queen doesn't actually cause any damage on the e. -file we are also preparing to castle and we are saying the point is that I am not even worried about the pawn, I am going to develop more, I will be castled as quickly as possible if you play the knight takes e4 this could actually work in favor of black black can choose between two moves both can be quite good for black the queen can go to e7 which has the idea of ​​fixing the e file if you are not actually

winning

a piece after f5 we will see why in just a second but also queen to g6 with a double attack also seems like a very logical move for black but queen e7 is definitely good enough, but the point is that after d3 you are not actually

winning

a piece with f5, this is an idea that It's worth noting because it's repeated in some of these lines and the reason is that if the f-pawn moves, this knight is hanging, so we can go here, but after they recover, White will have to. waste time we're going to have to move this guy back we're going to have to develop to e3 um and black should slowly be able to neutralize some of our advantage we've exchanged some pieces and now we have to waste some more time running away with our bishop, like this which for that reason if you play uh one more time if you play knight to c6 knight g to e2 is what I would say is good, this would avoid any of this nasty queen e7 stuff now if queen g6 there are a lot of lines we can always castle and for some reason there is always this mistake, most players seem to make this kind of mistake, I don't know what it is, it happens on all kinds of lines, they put the knight here and immediately jump to a5, this is not very good because it just we give this check if they don't already have a bishop on d7, this means that the knight will be hanging and black will be forced to waste a little more time, so this is obviously in our favor now we have time to do what we want we can grab this pawn we can castle double, maybe White needs to move one of these knights to g3, well actually you can just castle and this sets up a little trap which obviously if Let's take here that Black has just made a mistake, the queen's visiting bishop taking f7 is a discovered attack, so because of the way we are already far ahead in developing tactics, we will always favor the player with the white pieces in this type of position, so this should be good for the white, but that's the kind of mistake black players make all the time, so once again knight to c6 play knight g to e2 and then decide if you want a castle, take this pawn and see what black takes.

From there, another popular move is the bishop to c5, which is really just another mistake because now White can, it's a counterattack. You know they are attacking our f-pawn. We attack his f-pawn. They saw it, it looked good, but now we can. just take here on e4 and the situation is a little bit different now after the queen goes to e7 because we actually have a very good move here obviously you might be thinking well we have to play d3 and then again it's f5 and we go to enter. for this kind of thing once again, this should be good for black, right, it was good for black last time, it should be good again, well, here we have the bishop move take f7, where black will look forced to exchange the queens, so the best thing is Black should be able to do here, they are going to make these exchanges, we will pick up this piece, this is not clear, it should be a little better for White, but obviously this is still a fight, so black could play this way, but white still has. just a little bit of an advantage in a position like this the other option would be maybe black is very smart he decides to play king on f8 i'm not even going to bother because this knight is still here he's stuck on a pin well now we can just play the pawn on d3, there's no f5 to really drive this knight out, we're attacking this knight, so for example it's probably going to need to add a little more pressure, but you know we'll be able to keep defending.

I think we can, I think there are other moves here too, but hey, this seems pretty simple, we just keep developing and this should be absolutely fine for us. Whenever the Black Point decides to guard, we will exchange and then get this bishop back. should be good for white, so that's not really a problem and after the knight to c3, what else has been played with the queen to g6? This is also another interesting idea, defending the pawn and attacking here, this seems very logical, however there is really no threat to take. Here, if we simply play the g-knight to e2, it is a normal development move, it is never really a good time for Black to exchange the g-pawn for the f-pawn, for example, if he simply takes here, now it will be completely lost. snatch on f7 the king has to go somewhere king to d8 for example rook g1 this is starting to look very dangerous you can take our pawn you can come back but with the king in the center white should be able to get a big advantage, we are also in tonight, so it looks like we're actually going to win some material directly, uh, whatever black decides to do, something like this would actually be terrible.

What should black do? Let's take a quick look though. I'm listening to some. There are noises above that make me think a dad could be needed at any moment, so what should Black really play if he ends up in this position? The movement is really strange and you have to find these types of movements all the time if you are playing. ortho buys as black, which often means that you need to have some idea when starting the game. The interesting move that black can make here is actually knight to d7. It's a really strange looking move, but the idea is that the knight goes to c5. and this breaks the harmony of the queen and the bishop on this diagonal.

It's really annoying for Black that we have this pressure on f7, so if Black can somehow relieve the pressure, he might get a good position, but okay, game. It will continue the knight takes e4 something like the queen e7 we can always play d3 we can always play knight to e2 any of these moves are fine because again, for example, if they take here we have a very strong response, the bishop takes f7 and this is in actually one of the coolest lines, we've given up one piececomplete, the black is a little bit better here if you put this on a motor, but it's something like this where we can pick this guy up here and, yeah, I can say I hear some noises.

I don't know if you hear them too, but gentleman c5. I think if I remember correctly, what Black should do here should be to gain an advantage.
