Beating EVERYONE with the Stafford Gambit

all right welcome back everyone I have a really special video to share a few days ago I played the spring Marathon it was a 24 hour long tournament I streamed over 12 hours of it my voice is still recovering I think the video of the whole marathon is still uploading but something really special happened throughout the tournament so I went undefeated with the Stafford gamut there were 14 games I crushed my opponents with this dubious but highly venomous opening and in this video you're going to see all 14 games there were Queen sacks there were Rook sacks there were double Rook sacks there were games ending in less than 10 moves and it wasn't just against noobs but it was against like pretty high rated players upwards of 25 2600 so I do hope you enjoy the video leave a comment your favorite game in the video and I did save the dirtiest game for the end so do watch the whole thing and enjoy okay have I not had a Stafford Gambit yet I don't think I have staff or Gambit time the first Stafford of the marathon okay at a very high rated opponents falling into what is a pretty lethal trap no mercy here at Bishop G4 I think this is GG I mean Bishop C4 is like already a losing move surprisingly enough okay let's take this up a full Rook uh might as well trade yeah the Knight gets trapped okay okay 44th all right let's try and get a streak try and untilt this is the best way to untilt hopefully staff or gather time opponent seems prepared uh or maybe not opponent got a little bit confused here wait now what do I do here this is probably a one way to punish this that's a pork the pin plus a fork okay 13 move Stafford win so far the Safford is unbeatable today where am I the 31st Place Stafford Gava time we had this line earlier this is a fun one this is very fun oh no White's Queen okay I think I'm still undefeated with the Stafford thank you Mama Dev a first time Prime sub okay Stafford Canada time I'm still undefeated with Stafford this tournament as far as I know so the third time this tournament opponents playing Bishop C4 and the the two previous games and this game all featuring the same line yeah this is double check no mercy here I'll have to make a compilation of like all these staffer games it's been it's been at least like five so far top 200. playing fish defend Stafford Gabba time see how much my opponent knows here this is not considered to be the most challenging line for black um it might already be like preferable for lack but it's still tricky it takes it could be six castle maybe go for C5 light squares are vulnerable like F6 yeah so Knight F3 Queen E4 is winning or is it 91 oh there's a funny line 91 Queen G2 oh no my queen let me make sure it works though Queen G2 takes takes King G1 checkmate oh no my queen that's a cool idea you don't see too often allowing Knight takes G2 open the file yeah there's one legal move here so I think I'm still undefeated with a Stafford uh we have a new streak and Ling for a win engine does not like this for black but it's interesting Shafter Rook H2 okay yeah the engine will say black has to take the draw like Queen D4 only move Knight G3 is already plus four for white but the risk paid off still undefeated with the Stafford never played this up on the before and staff for gamma time now this line people usually don't go for the line here is 94. Queen E2 takes okay that's also a line I think I can just Castle so I went back upon uh oh I really just allow that there's almost 93. and G3 take take my G3 might be my best try yeah I got too comfortable at least it takes a little bit of work for white to win the night you might will have a what two pieces for rook and pawn probably uh yeah my nights are gone [Music] I lived a good life probably could have been treated better I want to keep my Bishop want to trade darks were Bishops easier said than done at least the position is kind of stabilized I'm not sure what my plan is maybe I am sure okay that's a tactical gift up on time and finally a material okay now anything can happen back to equal material uh there there King G8 okay I'm winning the bishop what a messy game it's still tricky too he wants to come to C6 okay very messy game I'll take it though top 20 it's still above 500. I'm going to the sign I think the move is Knight H2 don't fully remember though which two there maybe this first and now your shoe is now a threat it's getting spicy there there just preserve the bishop first I should have taken oh actually this is fine H2 is vulnerable but there's C5 coming so there's a D4 first I wanted to take but I wasn't sure and this should be good now okay I think I just play this just abandon the whole Queen sign if Queen takes B7 I sacrifice The Rook actually both Rooks both Rooks because after it takes King D7 takes I checkmate otherwise I have Rook H1 checkmates if only I could save their Rooks with more enthusiasm [Music] oh it's such a funny position though it was a fun attack King G7 I could sacrifice the queen wait does that work takes nah let's let's be civil only sacrificing the Rooks I wanted to play Queen Dick's G3 checkmates okay that was a fun game oh yeah the screen has to shake intensely okay [Music] I just minimize all my windows okay my opponent berserks I berserk back if they don't then I don't okay to Africa at the time can't recall if I played this against this opponent before but we've gone into this line already a few times um Bishop B6 I should have played this actually I just want my Pawn Cube pong Cube achieved okay Bishop G2 is coming oh okay I'll take that okay will this stream be a YouTube video yeah um does this stream combined with the previous stream will probably be about a 12 hour YouTube video so stay tuned okay so for gamma time yeah this is one of the most basic traps foreign [Music] just be solid up a lot of time thank you Alpha Fletcher happy nine months and Von's Von happy 13 months oh let's check I was ready to win the queen wow fancy move okay hour and five minutes to go Stafford Gambit Parts 20 maybe having a lot of Stafford thus far we have the magical line oh no my Bishop yeah for a while Bishop F3 was like the most recommended move and this is completely winning for white but in this time format it can still be tricky yeah so a lot of people walk into this E5 line or not a lot of people like this is a very specific line but uh I think Bach is already doing well King G1 was a winning move okay but how to actually win this I take on I think just Bishop D5 with Bishop's pinned F3 has to be played okay let's checkmate okay how many games have gone to like this was Full Line I looked at this actually a few days ago I was trying to make these lines work King G1 wins actually most people have Fight King Gmod E5 looks like so attractive but after Queen F5 um yeah it's not so clear like white has to be super super careful yeah Bishop D5 so if F3 Queen D3 I was just winning King G1 oh wow Kim ji won Rook G2 Bishop F3 yeah winning the queen 24th Place a berserk just African bedtime yeah this line is a good line for white there's H3 line but there's still some pressure and pressure is mounting I think I just suck Rook D4 coming or not spinned okay somehow that worked out okay 31st Place playing light like stop for Gaba time no one's really tested me in this uh the magical line so F3 here Bishop F3 is like kind of the common move these days F4 is a move too with F4 uh what's a line right there I just still go for this and this is why I play the Stafford it's it looks dubious White's probably winning objectively but it's so crazy okay I have this move actually might as well just take oh White's probably actually just winning objectively oh I have to play this if I take let's go for this it still gets weird it's running mate in one does that defend everything Rook H3 uh good move I could take the bishop still some counter play take but not much why it's kind of struggling foreign still losing though or is it no wow yeah there was a missed work at some point uh in this position okay Stafford gamut is unbeatable
