The Rousseau Gambit arises after the moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 f5. With 3...f5, Black immediately challenges White in the center, setting the stage for traps at almost every turn! For instance, the natural-looking move 4.exf5 is a major mistake, allowing Black to push forward with the aggressive 4...e4, gaining a significant advantage. Of course, White can respond to the Rousseau Gambit in multiple ways, including declining the gambit with 4.d3, 4.Nc3, 4.d4, or even the surprising 4.Bxg8. Each of these variations presents Black with opportunities to spring some nasty traps, and that's exactly what you'll learn in this video lesson. ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► Chapters 00:00 Rousseau Gambit Chess Opening, Top-10 Traps 00:16 Trap-1: 4.exf5 02:42 Trap-2: If White doesn't play d3 05:00 KNIGHTMARE 05:43 Can you find the winning shot? 06:48 Trap-3: 5.Ng1 instead of 5.Qe2 09:55 Trap-4 (for White) 11:44 Trap-5: 4.d4 (best move for White) 15:18 Trap-6: 4...exd4 (instead of fxe4) 18:17 Trap-7: 4.Nc3 18:31 Trap-8: 4.d3 21:21 Trap-9: Greek Gift Sacrifice 22:58 Trap-10: 4.Bxg8 ► Follow RCA on social media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RemoteChessAcademy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gm.igorsmirnov/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gmigorsmirnov X (Twitter): https://x.com/GMIgorSmirnov/ #IgorNation #ChessTraps #ChessGambit #ChessOpenings #OpeningTraps
