I think someone tried this position against me. I think so because their position in game looked very similar to this. At first I thought they were aiming for some weird scholar's mate trick. I declined the gambit and played in such a way where I used my knights to prevent their bishop from going to certain squares. And they ended up with such a messy opening. I could be wrong, but the position in this video just looks very similar to something i've experienced before in a game..

Hello, everyone! I wanna share with you one interesting fact! I d been playing chess for a year, but I really played it: I analysed every single game, watched a lot of streams, chess youtubers. My rating was about 800. Recently I've started playing there (cause before I had a kind of fear of loosing), but surprisingly I reached 1600 easily. It happened 3 weeks ago. I had been sitting there before I lost the access to my account. After I made new one, and I had to go through some kind of calibration. VERY surprisingly It went okay. Firstly, it was hard, because the rating was about 1600. But I won. After, a very strange thing happened. At 1800 my opponents started to miss mate in 1! As the calibration gives you a lot of points, I went through 1800 with only 2 games. After that, there were normal games, one was very hard (I lost, I ran out of time), but others I won by their silly mistakes. Now I am 1971. Guys and Igor (if he reads it), I don't think that this is my rating, but at the same time it seems very fairly, cause I didn't cheat (of course). I don't know what to think. I won against the opponent with rating 2047. I saw it only in KZitem videos. How do you think, am I so smart or it's just luck? Also, I want to thank Igor for his videos. I won 1 game using his trap (I mean that the opponent didn't notice it and couldn't handle after). That's all. Thanks all. I am gonna keep you in touch in next Igor's videos (lol)

I've been playing the Goring Gambit regularly for 50 years. It is my favorite opening as white. The position you show at 7:45 happens at least as often as them taking the second gambit pawn, ,if you consider their last move e6 as being equivalent to h6. I treat them interchangeably, for two reasons. First, the line I respond to it with, O-O, almost always causes them to do the other move, transposing and making it not matter which move order they choose. O-O and Qb3 are extremely similar in strength in the "grandmaster or engine" sense, but Qb3 alerts the opponent to danger more quickly. If in the position you show, my O-O provokes h6, and in fact for most other responses, I play Re1, to delay Qb3 one more move. It leads to many fewer lines I need to know, and that 3-move combo is as strong as anything coming out of lines from playing Qb3 immediately. Different opponents may grab the second pawn at any point along the way, and when they don't, you at some point need to take it. While there are specific cases where taking it with the queen is good, playing my move order (O-O Re1 Qb3) happens to prevent me from taking it with the queen in situations where it should be taken with the knight. The older I get, the fewer tricky things I have to remember, the better. It is rare to find someone who plays very precisely against the Goring Gambit, and I actually enjoy it when they do. More commonly, they fall into traps in predictable ways. In just my last 6 online games as white, I've had mates on move 10 and move 7 using the Goring against opponents my strength (1300s). That's unusually fast. One had fallen into a terrible trap, found the key move to escape it, then blundered by not making the followup move that was the only reason to have made the key move. He missed seeing that it was mate in one, versus escaping the trap down a little material but setting a trap I've fallen into myself one time, never again. It's a fun, beautiful opening. If you play it often, you'll find recurring themes in your games, showing you what the possible "great moves" and "brilliant moves" in similar but different situations tend to look like. Since watching your video on the Rousseau Gambit as black, that has become my most commonly played opening as black after white plays e4. I'm surprised at how many people play the Italian as white, and how many are taken by surprise with the Rousseau. Now if I can just stop opponents from playing d4, I'll be happy, though I do well against it.

Looking at that ''Danish Gambit'' The chances of this even happening are way too slim. You've lost 3 pawns, but Black has not developed any pieces? This can't really be called ''best opening'' when the chances of meeting someone who won't develope any pieces for 4 entire turns are so slim that you'd be lucky to play this opening once in a hundred games. And in the other 99 games you've just wasted your opening turns on nothing while he's gotten his knight out and fianchetto'd a bishop.

This is all great, except that after I moved pawn to D4, they didn't capture it. They move their pawn to D6, opening up the diagonal for their bishop and can now pin my F3 knight on their next move, unless I go pawn to H3. That kind of changes things doesn't it?

No one I play will ever make the correct beginning moves needed for this Gambit opening. I have tried the moves 15 times, and no one ever recaptures the Pawn on C3. It's as if they are expecting something. I don't play highly ranked players, and they have no idea that they are normally fine in the Danish Gambit wt the correct responses. I can play someone who plays strong. 1000 or above. Unfortunately after a bunch of losses the chess site I visit, only puts me up against beginners. I can never defeat a beginner. The moves are always extremely bizarre.
