I am... Gambit Man

Effortlessly reach 2000 ELO with a complete Zilbermintz gambit repertoire

... from a 2400 ELO

Move over, Will Graif! The original gambit man is here. Lev Zilbermintz has more gambits in the "official" opening lists than any man alive (or dead). True, they are strange and may seem unsound, but the man dedicated so much to inventing them and plays them even today.

So here is a repertoire for Black and White with Zilbermintz openings only and then two Extended interactive lessons to train with approximately 150 games in which Lev himself won in less than 30 moves as White and as Black.

Note that you will not be able to play all variations unless you install the LiChess Tools browser extension. The default Lichess behaviour only lets you play the main lines.
