In this video lesson, you will discover one of the most powerful and effective chess openings for White after 1.e4. This is an improved version of the Danish Gambit, specifically the Bird Gambit against the Philidor Defense, which arises after the following moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 exd4 4.c3.

This move order prevents Black from developing their dark-squared bishop with tempo, such as with Bb4+, since the d6-pawn now blocks the bishop's diagonal.

Watch the full video lesson to learn how to counter Black's most common responses. You'll also uncover some incredibly powerful traps to quickly checkmate the Black king.
