Dealing with the Englund Gambit Queen Sac Line

There is a well known line with the Englund Gambit popularised by Aman Hambleton and Eric Rosen. Learn how to refute this line and gain a big advantage.

The Englund Gambit is a dubious gambit from the Black side after 1. d4 e5?! There are many traps associated with this gambit for both colours, so all traps will be saved for another blog, but this one is dedicated to one line specifically, which involves Black sacrificing their queen. All my explanations are included in this study, so hope everything makes sense. I would encourage you to analyse deeper if you want to explore more ideas.
