Vienna Gambit | Elegant, Brilliant, Powerful!
#ViennaGambit #brilliant
This was a super satisfying game of the Vienna Gambit, and in fact, very similar to the game in my short film, "Chess on a Summer's Morning". Indeed, it's a little better as I avoid an inaccuracy.
This was a game of the Vienna Gambit, declined with Nc6 (1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. f4 Nc6). For those of you who are Vienna Gambit fans or follow my channel, you'd know that declining with Nc6 is a mistake [+1.9].
Like clockwork, Black's knights are chased around by my pawns - on move 6, they've made 4 knight moves with one knight forced back to its starting square, while I've captured the centre with my pawns. Move 10, we see the bishop sacrifice capture of the f7 pawn, a brilliant move!
Consider the extraordinary position on move 11. Black has no developed pieces or pawns other than a knight on the edge of the board, on the wrong side to defend their king. Move 14, checkmate. GG! Beware the power of the Vienna Gambit!
