Chess Openings: Learn to Play the Sturm Gambit Trap! (Bird’s Opening Theory) #Shorts

Today we cover the Bird’s Opening, and specifically the Sturm Gambit. This is a chess opening line/chess opening variation of the Bird’s Opening in which we fight for the center of the board without using a center pawn. In the process, we offer black the opportunity to accept the gambit and simply go ahead a pawn. However, it is a much better idea for black to go into the declined variation as we are simply going to get that pawn back. And, if black tries to save the pawn? Well, this goes right into a chess opening trap that can help you win games fast, and this is exactly what we are going to cover in today’s video.
