🔹 Icelandic Gambit (An Aggressive Opening For Black Against e4 | Traps to win FAST) –
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov teaches you a simple and aggressive chess opening for Black against 1.e4. This aggressive gambit works well at club level and will guarantee you a lot of victories.
It is the Kadas gambit from the Scandinavian Defense which happens after the following moves: 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Nf6 3.d4 c6 4.dxc6 e5. Black keeps sacrifices the pawns for a quick development followed by a sharp attack. After White plays 5.dxe5, Black can exchange the queens and go for an aggressive attack 5…Qxd1 6.Kxd1 Ng4, threatening Nxf2+ knight fork.

Most of your opponents will be surprised to see this opening and will make a lot of mistakes, guaranteeing you a lot of victories!

Hi bro ur videos are amazing
Very nice Sr
The problem is that never ever an opponent played these moves… 🧐
I would play after 4 … e5; 5. c7, Qxc7, now white is a pawn up for nothing. For example 6. dxe5 Qxe5+; 7. Qe2 and trade queens a pawn up or 6 … Ng4; 7. Be2, Nxe5; 8. Nf3 +- . The attack on f2 is not allowed to develop.
Reasoning: the c6 pawn was just going to fall with tempo anyway, so use it to scramble black's setup. Learn to play attacking moves, but also learn to see opponent's solid moves. (I was usually the guy playing the solid moves, boring I know.)
Imma a beginner so I'm wondering why is the second move to white a pone behind his first one ?
7:29 "I can't show you all the moves"_
Correct, but you could show what white should play.
E.g. instead of 3. d4 white could play ♘f3, ♗b5+ (quite natural for amateurs), ♗e2 or the slightly dubious ♗c4. I think this gambit works for none of these alternatives.
Or if 3 d4 – c3 then dxc and the response – ♞xc6 are really the only options, but you advocate the dubious but gambit e5 instead.
Engine claims 5. cxb is the far best option, about a pawn more worth than option #2, dxe5.
If white really goes for dxe5 it's still more or less +2 advantage for white.
5. – ♛xd1 , 6. ♔xd1 – ♞g4 is "obligatory", but then white should play cx6 first.
And so on. How long would that take to do? Would perhaps double the length of the video but also increase its value.
But I'm being ungrateful! Thank you for making this awesome chess content. I like it a lot. And give your cat a scratch from me, please.

C5 is the best move. Hands down. It depends on about 6 till 10 moves. If all of them are perfect you have a great middle and end game.
Clever — never heard of this line. It's weird black is often 3 pawns down but with a fairly minimal computer disadvantage and tons of ways for white to go wrong.
See this I can get behind… its unsound at any higher level sure! But as for beginners and intermediate players… this is exactly what a gambit should be about. Teaching you to be as efficient and aggresive with your development and attacking (for the cost of a pawn or 2) as possible! Super fun great choice here!!!
After the 4th move, only 318 billion possible positions…not checkers for sure…
Gambit is my style!!
How if white doesn't move d x e5 ??
And how if white move 3. c4 ??
Really nice. Thank you
the first thing anyone does after taking that initial pawn and we push knight c3, is to defend with knight c3. I literally have not faced a single game where opp plays d4 instead. I'm playing at 1200-1300 level. Any tips for knight move by opp?>
Wonderful 👍 💯 😎
what happend if is not d4 but Nc3 the white play ?
Very cool. Oppomemts already not playing the common refutation so move 2-3 is already very different, but definately mnot the same old boring stuff resulting of this.
Igor, thank you very much for all your cool videos. Love them!
In this video, after 1. e4, d5, how would you continue if white goes 2. e5?
Love your cat!!
Can you do a video on Evans Gambit please, I have seen that it's one of the best plays against Black
Seems like along of similar concepts and mindset as Danish gambit which I love👌👌
What is your suggestion after 3: Knight C 3
8:18 "It's very different to be a computer and a human being" (Spock eyebrow lift). Fantastic!
White don't need to immediately defend against the fork as long as it can take pawn b2. Then black first need to catch the pawn and then Be3 is enough to defend.
And what about instead dcc,white plays cxb?..White is wining that way in 6 or 7 moves in the opening…
Simple agraaaassive opening! Keep up the great work!
