What's going on with these hyper-aggressive players (discuss.tchncs.de)

Crossgeposted von: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/360558

So I am on lichess in the 700es range and I continue to have these players as opponents who early on attack really aggressively.They must have some success with this (element of surprise I guess), but if I look at the stockfish analysis there moves arent so smart. (difficult enough for me to fend off though). I sometimes feel a little dumb, though because it can be quite hard to find out how to stop their attacks..

Most notably we see GM Alejandro Ramirez being effectively banned for life.

Format

This tournament is a double round-robin between 6 teams of six players each, and the two best teams qualify to final phase. Each team is composed by one "icon" on board 1, two male players on boards 2 and 3, two female players on boards 4 and 5, and one junior on board 6.

Scoring

Each game is scored according to:

  • Win with black: 4 Game Points (GPs)
  • Win with white: 3 GPs
  • Draw: 1 GP
  • Loss: 0 GPs

The match is scored according to:

  • Team that scores most GPs: 3 Match Points (MPs)
  • Team that scores the same as rivals: 1 MPs
  • Team that scores fewer: 0 MPs

After the double round-robin ends, the two teams with most MPs qualify to the final. The final is a best of two match, with a blitz game as tiebreaker.

Time Controls

Rapid 15+10. Players cannot agree to a draw before 30 moves each.

I'm a new chess player and do not understand why the solution to this puzzle is Qc2+ instead of something like Rb8, Qf5, g4 I don't really understand what black could do here to save the Queen?

I personally don't know any gambit, I just try to play the opining following the basic principles. I saved this list from a comment in Reddit time ago:

Unavoidable 2nd move gambits:

  • King's Gambit against 1.e4 e5.
  • Smith-Morra against the Sicilian.
  • Staunton Gambit against the Dutch.
  • Blackmar-Diemer Gambit against 1.d4 d5.
  • Tennison Gambit against the Scandinavian.
  • Grob Gambit against 1.g4 d5.

Avoidable depending on the opponents follow-up but easy to get:

  • Evans Gambit in the Italian.
  • Traxler against the Knight Attack (Italian).
  • Albin Countergambit against the Queen's Gambit.
  • Stafford in the Petrov.
