Watch live on Twitch:
This video features 3 games (played in the same day) in which the white side falls victim to the same simple and devious opening trap in the Stafford Gambit. The trap involves a “fishing pole” idea with an early h5 and Ng4. While the Stafford Gambit is not necessarily a sound opening, it is highly venomous. If white is not prepared, then it can be easy for black to win quite quickly!

London Opening 8-hour video course:
Why can’t the knight be taken with the bishop?
"Or maybe you're the same people, so maybe, you can make fun of yourself"…..💀-that sounded villainous bro
a classic
watching this game play with the arrows and descriptions has significantly increased my game
But what if opponent doesn't castle
🤣🤣🤣 this is so bogus.. I literally tried this over 50 games.. not one game went as smooth as your video.. i mean no one took the bait.. looks like you had someone help you out to accomplish this..
There are many methods and tricks of chess, thank you for teaching. There are many people who do not know
Very good opening play
sigh tried playing this but never have an opponenet that plays against that
Can you do this with white or only black?

I'm terrible at chess. I see it as a lack of perception width. Can't think ahead and visualise more than a move in advance. Is this a skill that can be developed or something that a person has which makes them function well at chess?
Ok but on that first check why would pawn not take queen
I challenge you to beat me
I've just started studying chess. I played this against my wife who hasn't been studying chess as much as I have. I won using this tactic. I'm sleeping on the couch. It is such a dick move.
It is interesting that human beings so easily fall into the same trap.
what site is this
Sneaky sneaky
Thank you Eric & Team
Bruh hes so humble like he casually destroys someone and then hes like "that was nice" like what? He sounds so calm too
I have won quite a few games with the bongcloud opening.
I have a question – at the start of the gambit, when black moves his bishop to C5, why doesn't white move their bishop to E3, thus defending the dark squared bishop's line of attack on the king?
I been beaten like this at least 5 times!! It works 100% each time!!!
White must keep knight same position to avoid embarassement!!!!
But why not the pawn take the knight down
He casted too soon.
Teach me master
0:29 am i dumb or smth or why couldn't you just take the queen with the pawn?
Looks like staged to me, there is no way your opponent is that stupid.
Thank you so much!!!
0:14 what if white plays bishop pining knight and queen
He telling the chat how to castle just to crush them… 🥹😂🤣
You’re kind of a douche
Don't try to win at chess, play for fun Andover time most of these things will become a discovery of your own

the one guy: Democracy is a mistake
Your chat looks like stockfish
God loves you so much get too know him before it's too late ❤️❤️❤️
why didn’t he take the queen with the pawn? i’m a noob but please explain to me why
can someone please explain to me (novice) why whites Pawn (F2) can’t capture blacks queen when he moves QG3?! I cannot understand why – thank you!
I am literally playing rn and it says that you are online ahaha
I encourage you
Why do they keep playing the g2 pawn and don't take your knight with the h3 pawn instead?
i dont care what chess "experts" say. I would literally at the first moment take the queen with a solider right away. Also the knight. What's the benefit? – Not getting checkmated by trying to play "smart"
Wtf i am trying learn and is so fast moving .
Why was Kd2 illegal?
Eric Rosen whenever I watch your videos I enter a calm state and then i fall asleep but please do not be offended
R-r-r-Rosen moves, will they notice? They don’t, wrong move chosen…
Everyone as in "the ones that play exactly as i want them to play".
