L' Apertura Imbattibile che fa Impazzire Tutti gli Scacchisti

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video. Today we are going to see some games that I have played with a certain opening, but which opening will it be, which opening are we talking about? Well yes, we are talking about the Italian Gambetto, it was a while since I had games with the Italian Gambetto, they are always fun games and the Italian Gambetto always gives a lot of satisfaction. Before starting I remind everyone to like and subscribe to the channel thanks to all those who are subscribing and let's start! Ok here we are, games against expert players, first game against a 2409, e4, e5, Nf3, Nc6, Qc4, Qc5. I remind you that only in this case you can play the Italian Gambetto with d4, not on Nf6, it is another opening, it is not called Italian Gambetto, it is a completely different opening. He follows with d4, the engine always changes his mind on this move, this time he is giving it to me good, so not imprecise. He captures with bishop, this should be one of the best. I capture with knight and after knight by knight comes bishop e3. In this position I have the pair of bishops and I am preparing a strong attack. He continues with Nc6, withdraws the knight and plays the best. Qh5 arrives, I threaten a crazy jump in a move. He follows with Qf6, this is already a mistake. We must also try to understand how to exploit this mistake. We can also put the analysis directly, so it also shows us the engine evaluation. Well, the engine here evaluates 0.45 for the white, it is not much. I continue with Nc3, a very logical move. I prepare moves like Nd5 to attack the queen and to capture the pawn in c7. The opponent plays Ne7, he prepares to withdraw. He follows with Nb5 in this case, because the knight in e7 obviously controls the house of 5, so Nb5 to capture in c7. The only way you have the black to defend is to play Rd8. The black continues with the rook, puts the king safe. And look a little, the advantage of the white increases. Incredible but true. I play Nc7, not even the best move because the engine simply said to play the rook, but Nc7. I take back a pawn. He plays Np8, he makes a mistake. In practice, such complicated and unusual positions are created that it is very easy to make mistakes. Both for the white and for the black. But the white has a simpler game in the Italian Gambit. Here I put the king safe with the rook. In precision, however, I have a good advantage. So as you can see, you don't necessarily have to play the best moves. I follow and pawn to 6. I play Rg5, I attack the queen, I attack the knight. Queen d6 for him. And here comes Nd5. Another imprecision, but it continues to be a little better. He continues with Nd5, he follows the rook for d5. Nb5 and here I play Nc3. Nc3 is a very logical move, but a rather slow maneuver. Why? My idea is certainly to block moves like Nb4, Nd4. But maybe in this position I had better. For example, why not attack the queen directly with the rook? Ok, instead I play c3. He plays Rb7. He arrives at Rd1. I had this move in mind, but I play it with a delay. Even if now he gives it to me as imprecision. He follows Qc7, this is a serious mistake. Because he arrives at Rd3 and I have a very simple plan. Rh3, Qxh7, checkmate. After Nb4 I play Rh3 and he in this position decides to abandon. As you can see, I win with the Italian pawn in just 18 moves against a 2409. What more do we want? Simple, simple. What can he do here? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. He follows the forced checkmate. The pawn here is nailed on h6. I immediately sacrifice the bishop after the queen pawn. I still have a checkmate in h7 or h8. This is the first game. Let's move on to the second game. Against a 2428. Let's raise the level a bit. e4, e5, Nf3, Nc6, Qc4, Qc5. Here we play Nd4. Italian pawn. He also captures the bishop. This is the move that almost everyone plays. It is considered the best move, as you can see. After NxN, NxN arrives at Qe3. Nc6, Qh5. So the same variation. Only here we see new things. In this case, the opponent plays the best move, Qe7. I continue with Nc3. He arrives at Nf6, the best move. Qh4. Qa6. Let me tell you something. This is an opponent that I have always beaten with the white pieces. Because I have always played the Italian pawn against him. And he, obviously, playing the Italian pawn many times, gets to this position. Because he will surely have gone to review the games. Now, however, he plays something strange to me. a6. But what is a6? a6 is a particular move. It is a mistake, indeed. But it is not so easy to exploit. So here we enter an unknown territory. At least I don't know a6. So let's see what the Italian pawn can do. I play Ng5. I attack the knight. This is a logical move, because I prepare Nd5. He can't capture, otherwise he arrives at Nf5. He plays Qb4. He attacks the pawn on b2. He attacks the bishop on c4. It is an apparently very logical move. But, guys, it is really incredible. After 10 moves, I have already won the game. Plus 1.70. How can you not love this opening? How can you? I withdraw the bishop on b3. Missed move, he tells me. Plus 0.94, but I keep the advantage. He follows the knight on g8. Guys, we are talking about a 2428. He withdraws the knight like this, because he doesn't know what to do. These are unknown positions. Well, now almost everyone knows the Italian pawn. At least in Italy, because there are videos on YouTube, etc. But I'm sure that almost no one has studied it. So, in my opinion, it is very playable with white pieces. I play Rf6. He plays f6. He plays Rf3. Knight e7. He tries to develop the pieces again. He can't rook, because Rf8 controls g8. So I play a3, I attack the queen. The queen withdraws to 5. Mamma mia. Look at these positions. a3, I attack the queen. Queen to 5, plus 3 advantage for white. But what are we talking about, guys? Queen h5, I retreat. Knight on g6. Knight d5. I try to put pressure. He plays knight e7. And he gets to Qd2. Error on my part. It can be. It's not that one must always play the perfect game. Here I had a big advantage. I had to capture and then play f4 pawn. To try to open the e-column. To impose a strong attack on the e-column. So I had to open the e-column, not the e-column. Anyway. It's very simple. Instead, I play queen d2. Error. I return the game in parity. But he doesn't accept this queen. He plays queen on c5. Why doesn't he accept the queen? I don't know why. Because he was afraid of the move knight c7 check. I wanted to gain the tower. Ok. Now comes queen b4. This time it's good. He plays queen to d5. He doesn't know what to do. He's trapped. He gains the piece in e7. Parity is over. This is to be abandoned. Queen to knight. He continues to play. Does it make sense to play this? He continues to play for many moves. F4 pawn. King d8. I capture. I play rook d1. He moves the king to e8. Why did I play h3? I don't know. Probably to escape the king. Pawn to a5. Queen to b3. He plays c6. He plays queen to f3. I try to coordinate with the pieces. He plays queen to d7. Queen to d3. I can capture. He defends with the tower. I capture. He moves the king to e8. Queen to c5. I want to move the queen to c4. He plays pawn to a4. King to a2. Pawn to b5. He doesn't want to allow me to play queen to c4. But I can play c4. I capture. He moves the king to e8. Queen to c4. I'm about to move in. He can't do anything. He moves h8. I capture. He moves d7. I capture. He moves d5. I capture. He moves d7. Queen to g7. I move. He moves the king to e8. Queen to f7. I move. How can you speak bad about Gambit? You can't speak bad about Gambit. I mean, it's not that if one day a streamer, youtuber, content creator, call it whatever you want, this activity that we do, that we bring content, it's not that if someone wakes up and says, I found an opening, a very nice opening, advertise this opening, show playing, as I am doing, I show playing, that it is a valid opening, even against titled players, and there are always those who say, eh, but the Italian Gambit is not great, etc., but, excuse me, what do you base yourself on to say that? What do you mean it's not great? What are you basing yourself on? Why should Scandinavia be better? Why should the opening, what's it called, the England Gambit be better than the Italian Gambit? Why should the King's Gambit be better than the Italian Gambit? I mean, what are we talking about, guys? I mean, incredible. Anyway, let's see the last game. This time against a maestro, since these others didn't have the title next to the name, here's the title, Maestro, Maestro. Let's see the game. So, usual moves, alfiero c5, d4, capture of the alfiero, capture, horse for, alfiero e3, horse turns back, donna h5. Let's see how the maestro does it. Donna e7 is the best, horse c3, horse f6 is the best, donna h4. Donna b4 too, I can't believe it. But this time it's a bit different than the previous game, because the previous opponent played a6 and then donna b4. He immediately plays donna b4. I've never studied this move, donna b4, I've never studied it. It's a mistake. Yes, you should know what to do. I play alfiero e3, the best, he plays horse in d4, wow, he wants to attack me, you don't get it. He plays arrocco, I play safe king, horse for b3, pawn for b3, pawn c6 for him, he wants to occupy the center, you see, he doesn't know what to do, because he doesn't know the Italian gambit. A maestro, an expert player, 1% of the chess players play maestro, 1% of those who play chess tournaments. Donna in g5, I play g7, I play e5, he plays arrocco, I play donna for, rook e8, he plays donna c7. Pay attention to this move, blitz game, this is an imprecision, it's a mistake, the engine assigns it as a mistake. Look what I want to prepare here. He falls on the floor, he plays horse for e4, he arrives, boom, rook a4, I attack the queen, I attack the knight, the black is about to lose a piece, so he withdraws the queen and arrives rook for e4. Then again, here too, they don't give up, because the Italian gambit literally drives the opponents crazy, because in very few moves they find themselves below and wonder how it is possible that I am always below in so few moves against the Italian gambit, because these are opponents that I have met and met again. I play the Italian gambit and beat them. Simple and simple. pawn d5, rook for rook, donna for, rook e1, I attack, bishop f5, bishop d2, I attack the donna, the donna moves, I capture, rook for, rook c1, I defend the pawn, obviously you have to be careful, but a big advantage, right? He plays pawn b5, b4 arrives, I block the advance of his pawns, king f8, bishop e3, I try to attack, to put the bishop in c5, so I want to activate the pieces, he plays rook h8, I retreat, knight e2, I want to simply jump in d4 and attack the bishop and the pawn, he follows a5, I capture, rook for, pawn b4, I defend the bishop, he plays rook e2, knight d4, I attack, I defend, I attack, he moves the bishop, pawn c3 arrives, pawn f6, pawn h3, am I risking something in this position? No. He plays g5, knight f3, unfortunately, even if he is a master, as you can see, he doesn't give up, so he made a lot of moves, these, practically, sometimes, arrive up to the crazy run, I know it doesn't make sense, but losing against the Italian pawn is an opening that devastates you, let's talk about it, because losing against the Italian pawn is really bad, look what he did here, he wanted to continue up to the crazy run, where did he give up? I think it's g6, he let the time pass, I mean, I don't know, he has a crazy move, so, here it is, once again, we have shown that the Italian pawn is a valid opening, it's an opening that surprises the opponent, practically always, then, of course, if someone wakes up, watches my videos on YouTube, studies it in black, I mean, you used Stockfish, the strongest engine in the world, to study an opening, thank you, of course it's like that, but the Italian pawn is not a losing opening. Thank you all for watching this video, I remind you to like and subscribe to the channel, bye and see you next time.
