are you really liking this gambit

don't you well

let's move on as in today's episode

we are going to look

the second choice by the white camp

namely Knight to C3 and I must admit that whenever

my opponent plays this move

I feel like I'm winning the game on the spot

well that much confident I'm having in this line

and I hope that after watching this video

you will gain it too

now here if you check the database

by far the most popular choice is D4

but I don't like that move

because the position remain block

so in the true spirit of the elephant gambit

I'm going to recommend you capture on e 4

and after Knight takes e 4

hear what I like about this line

you grab the center with f five

so white has basically three choices

and the first move which is in fact a tricky one

white can play knight captures e 5

and the point is if you foolishly take this knight

then queen to h 5 is a deadly reply

so all we need to do is just calm our nerves down

and look out for better option to avoid this disaster

and accordingly

I think the best move fitting is queen to d 4

attacking to spot so white responses fools

he has to give this check and after g six

what else night captures g 6

okay first

we are going to capture this knight on e 4

with a check and after bishop to e 2

I recommend this nice idea

first you hit the queen and after queen to h three

you just give white the whole rook

by playing knight to c six

many of you will say hang on

but isn't that you giving up the rook

for the two pieces

well yep

indeed that is going to happen

but the big point is after knight to d 4

in fact black has two threads

and white cannot parry both of them

there is a mate as well as fork on c 2 coming up

and after the best response

queen to d 3 we have this nice sequence

knight capture c 2 check king to d one

Queen captures d 3 Bishop captures d 3

and at the end when we gobble up the rook in the corner

we have a very funny position on the board

where both the knights are sitting in the corner

and most likely

they are going to disappear from the board very soon

but if you count the material after that

black is emerged with a clear piece up

so I think this model line completely refuted

Nightcapture's E5

the second bad move I can play over here is

believe it or not knight to G3

which doesn't look like that much problematic

but against all of this line

what black wants to do is

he wants to always push on with e

4 and if knight retreat back

then after knight to f 6

Black already get an advantage as well as space

so nope

the only way to keep white in the game is knight to e 5

which has again the same idea queen to h 5 check

well you might think we need to stop it right

nope guess what

we are going to allow it by playing Bishop to E6

white has two major choices

and amongst them if he continue with d 4

then my recommendation is you play knight to d 7

attacking on e 5 and after knight takes and queen takes

with the space and the leading development

where black is aiming to castle long

in this line black is always slightly better

so nope d 4 is not a right option

if white has come this far

then he has to go with queen to h 5 check

and after over g 6 and knight captures g six

I propose this nice exchange sack

starting with Bishop to f seven

okay now we have some forcing moves

Queen captures f 5 Bishop captures g 6

Queen to e 5 check

queen to e 7 Queen captures rook

and at the end when we play knight to f six

ha ha you can see I have highlighted by the arrows

what really black wants to do

is he wants to take this knight on d 7

then he wants to castle and then move the bishop

somewhere which at the end grab the whole queen

let me remind you if that happen

white will lose his queen and the knight for 2 rooks

which is always good for the black camp

one of my recent game will give you a great idea

what I'm talking about here

my opponent who was 22 rated player

continue with Bishop to E two

I go for the plan which I have just mentioned

night to D7 now he play H4 and after I castle

his intention is to play H5

okay no worries

I simply drop my bishop back to f 7

and now indeed there is a threat of bishop at 6

and funny enough

white doesn't have any resources to conquer that

for example in the game

my opponent lash out with knight to f 5

attacking my queen but after queen to e 5

his own knight get attack

and when he save it with knight to e 3

what else bishop to f six

well by force white is losing the queen

so my opponent tried the move knight to g four

but after just one move queen to g 5

White realized that he has a completely lost position

he took my rook I recapture

and you should note that d 4 doesn't walk here

because of queen to if I check

so my opponent sadly take on h 6

but after queen takes as I have mentioned earlier

if you count the material

we have queen and knight against 2 rook and a pawn

which is in fact with the accurate play

a completely winning advantage for the black camp

so I guess with this small line

you can understand now

that night to G3 can be comfortably met with

bishop to E6

okay so let's look at the main move

night to C3 and after that

yup our move is very obvious

e full

and interestingly enough I found a nasty trap

if your opponent continue with knight to g 1

which is in fact more common at the lower level

let me show you how crafty this trick is

after knight to g 1

I propose you continue with night to f 6

and when white plays bishop to c 4

you just play knight to c six

so idea is very obvious

that if white take out his knight on e 2

then after knight to h 5

White will lose the bishop pair

so accordingly first

white has to stop this by playing either the move

a 3 or a 4 let's say a three

and when we play bishop to c 5

White can take out his knight comfortably on the e

2 square

so everything looks good white is ready to castle

but nope we have the

another deadly trick occurs in this line

with knight to g 4 attacking on f two

so naturally

white is going to castle on the king side afterwards

yep if you have watched my Goring gambit

as well as advanced Stafford gambit lessons

then you can easily spot Black's idea

queen to H4

haha and I think after this

white is in a completely losing position

there is a double threat so white has to play h three

and after that black option is very simple

you take on F2

if white try to save the queen

then he will not forget this picturesque checkmate

in his whole life

and I'm sure some of you already knew about it

Knight captures h 3 double discover check

king to H1

now the knight comebacks again with a double check

and after king to G1 and the move queen to H1

white king has been murdered on his own bed

so moving the queen is right out of the equation

that means the only option

left for the white is to take on f 2

but after Bishop takes f 2 and king to h 1

once again if you count the material this time around

black is a clear exchange up

so this is one of the wonderful tricky line exist

if your opponent choose the move knight to g one

I think after e 4

the most challenging response is knight to e 5

again going for that queen h 5 business

but this time around black has equally a tricky reply

queen to d four

and I can't tell you how many people has fallen

for the queen to h 5 check

they think that black has made an error

and now we get the rook in the corner

but guess what we are going to play g 6

and after night to g six

white to his horror

find out that black can actually take this knight

as his rook is well protected

the maximum white can do over here is queen check

and after king to d 8

yes indeed our king has been misplaced

but the most important factor is we are peace up

so watch out for this great trap

which occurs frequently in the online chess

so in the majority of the cases

you are going to see the Moon Knight to c 4

and after this

I am going to recommend you start with Bishop to e six

attacking the knight and white has two choices

and amongst them

if you think that night to e 3 is a right one

then you are absolutely wrong

because no wonder this is a blunder by the white

and let me show you what is the reason

first of all black would love to play f 4 here

but the problem is white has this double check

which ruin all the fun

so my recommendation is first you play knight to c six

and now no matter whatever white plays

we are going to lash out with f 4

for example let's say white doesn't identify a threat

and play a random move

a three then black can indeed play the move at 4

and the big point is

knight to g 4 doesn't save anything

as black has this nasty reply

h 5 and that poor knight is a complete goner

so that is the big thread guys

and accordingly if white wants to save the peace

then he has to play d 3 in this position

but even after this white is completely losing

so before I move on I like you to pause this video

and find out a killer sequence

that will completely destroy the white camp

are you ready

please pause the video if you need more time

I'm going to show you right now

First Black will play F4

night to C4 what else

now you play Bishop to B four

threatening on c 3 so again

white response is force he has to play Bishop to d 2

and after that we have this nice sequence

Bishop takes c 4 pawn takes c four

e 3 attacking the bishop

pawn takes pawn takes

and if the bishop moves

then the c 3 knight drops with a check

so the only logical reply here is queen to e 2

pinning down the e 3 pawn

but guess what

black wins elegantly from here

starting with queen check

Queen takes

pawn takes on d 2 with a check

and after king takes we have this long castle

where at the end of the whole sequence

black clearly emerged with the whole bishop advantage

so you can see how crafty these lines are

and even though some of the best responses by wide

completely fails at many occasions

so

it is pretty clear that white cannot play knight to e 3

and he has to play the move d three

well against this

I am going to recommend

more or less the same variation

starting with Bishop to B 4

Bishop to d 2

Bishop takes c 4 Pawn takes c 4

and yes indeed this time we don't have the move e 3

but after knight to f six

what black is aiming is

he wants to enter into the endgame

where White's double pawn is a clear cut target

here white has tried few moves

for example

if he play a 3 then bishop to c 5 is a strong reply

in the case of night to B 5

we actually achieve what we want to do

namely exchange everything on d 2

and then play night to a 6

whereupon this space and White's double pawn

already gives black a nagging edge

so

night to be 5 actually allow black what he wants to do

and apart from it I think against all other moves

black plan of campaign more or less remains same

now before we finish

I like to show you my high profile game against an IM

in this line where he continued with Bishop to E2

I simply continue with my piece development

knight to c 6 and after a White Castle

I decided to put my rook on the d file

okay there is a threat

so my opponent plays bishop to e 3

and naturally enough I unleash my attack of the rook

by playing queen to e five

white plays queen to c 1 but unfortunately

that allows my knight intrusion on d 4 square

so I have a threat of bishop captures c 3

and then knight captures e two

and indeed that knight is so strong

that my opponent feels that he has to remove it

immediately

and after my rook captures

white didn't like the idea of f 4 coming up

so he responded with g three

but I think this is a great time inaccuracy

as after the simple continuation

bishop captures c 3 pawn captures c 3

and the move rook to d 6

White has absolutely disgusting pawn structure

on the queen side

and even though in the time trouble

I blew up the whole game

if you put this position in any chess engine

it will tell you that black is marginally better

thanks to this weird pawn structure by the white camp

that's it guys so now

you are equipped with the same knowledge I am having

in this line and as I have shown in this video

that after pawn takes knight takes f five

it doesn't matter however

white plays not only black

has some nasty tricks and traps exist in this line

but with the space in the center

and the free piece development

this line always serves better for the black camp
