6:10 Why not take with the bishop? Is it so the bishop can take the pawn later and put pressure on the king?
At 6:03 why not Bg5? Wins the Queen
At 14:41 Knight to f7 means the Black will lose its Queen, there's no other way to remove the Check
Great video! I like to see variation for e5.
17:17 Black can play Qd5 instead of Nd7?
If white plays Qxc7, then Na6 coming in to b4?
Played this against the French and got queen to f6 no clue what to do and lost it

Germany : Write that down Write that down!
I’d like this gambit better if after all that stuff, my pawn structure was better and I could get my king to safety
13:22 why not Ne5 insted of 0-0
Where's credit to Schrantz?
8:08 black bishop can take the f2 pawn then check QF8 and take f7. then black is winning
5:20 why the bishop don't take the knight on h6 to remove the defender of the f7 square? Nice video as always !
Well if you want to break the french defence just go through belgium
I recently ran into a weird move of 2c4 c5!? which transposes to a strange sicilian. It isn't scary or anything, but I am not sure I want my pawn on c4 in a sicilian.
https://lichess.org/U8OFPjRCrqnN Someone actually did fall for checkmate in a game I played…
French is definitely my least favorite to play against as white. I don't like it much when I play black either.
On the Qe7 variation, what if they push Nd7?
Kevin every time there’s a new Chess opening video: “this is one of my FAVorite lines”
loved this!!! ❤ waiting for your orthoschnapp gambit declined video! 😊❤
Thanks
Dear sir, your video session on orthoschnap gambit to crush the French defense is of absorbing interest as you analytically explained every possible move that can actually take place over the board. It can truely act as lethal weapon with maximum winning chances for white. It added knowledge and confidense playing against the usual lines. Looking forward for such studious session on e5 line and others. Thanks and regards. Dmbhangaonkar
Nice video!
@16:57 I took the pawn on E6 XD.
How can you leave out the most common response 5)…Qf6..?
Thanks for the video.
What do you do if after Qe7, blacks plays Knight d7? Best black move according to computer.
What if they decline the gambit?
Dont trust in 4 people: Billionares, baldys, people that play 1.d4 and people that play french defense
I'm just a chess noob, but at 3:26, how was the g7 pawn protecting the f7 square so that you could only bring the bishop in when you got it out of the way?
8:00 What about Qf6?

Is queen b5 a good move at 5:55?
Hardly crushing. Accept and Qe7 and Black is fine.
Hey kevin 👋🏼 i know this is a 7 months old video but would you be able to do a video on the declined version of this ortho shnapp gambit? Where black doesnt take after white takes in the beginning
Super helpful videos I’m literally never disappointed everything is covered very clearly!

Hey, Kevin! Great video, thanks as always. Also at 6:22, the nasty Nf6+! as well as what you indicate with Nxc7+.
1. e4 e6 2. c4 d5 3. cxd5 exd5 4. Qb3 dxe4 5. Bc4 Qd7 6. d3 Nc6 7. dxe4 Na5 8. Qc2 Nxc4 9. Qxc4 Nf6
Where is this line, this variation?
The moves 1.e4 e6 2.c4 d5 have occurred 578 times in master level play according to the Lichess database. I was surprised to see that White has played 3.exd5 in the vast majority of those games (469 times), not 5.cxd5 (98 times). The database also refers to 2.c4 as the Steiner Variation.
So, my question is this: What move characterizes the Orthoschnapp Gambit? Is it 2.c4 or 3.cxd5?
Also, I think a not-too-unlikely response from Black, to protect his f7 square, could be something other than 5…Qe7, 5…Qd7 or 5…Nh6. Black could play 5…Qf6. This still protects f7 while blocking neither bishop.
I won a Lot of games thanks to this gambit. Greeting since Argentina
Can you do another video on how to play against the Orthoschnapp gambit as black? Is there even a good way to combat this as black?
I hate the French ! Thanks. (Not the pple lol)
6:29 white is threatening a royal fork by Nf6
I prefer the Qe7 defense lines
What is this chess program
is it better than the wing gambit??
Qf6 😂😂
