Play the Busch-Gass gambit like Will Graif

Just like with Zolpi before, this study contains just two chapters:

1. An interactive lesson with all the games Will Graif played the Busch-Gass gambit
2. An interactive lesson with just the games he won

It's not the complete length of the games, just the first 20 moves (40 ply), but you will find that often you get a winning or losing position before that limit in the Busch-Gass.

Install the LiChess Tools browser extension and you can play ALL variations again and again and again, until you've internalized wgraif's playing style.

Note that the variations do not show you the optimal path towards victory, especially if you play the first chapter, just how Will played them. Just put the gambit glasses on and enjoy.

Alternately, clone the chapter, set it from white's perspective and play against wgraif until you know the traps. Sorry, Will! Swords have two edges.

At the moment I've only added annotations and end of line comments on the second chapter: "Play like wgraif when he is winning". I suggest you play with that one unless you want to play like him when he is not winning.

The study is here: Wgraif's Busch-Gass Gambit

You want to know how to create your own studies like this? Very easy:

1. install LiChess Tools
2. export all the games of your target for a specific side (black or white, depending on the opening you want to explore), also setting the Opening toggle to on
3. edit the file and extract the first moves of just the winning games with a particular opening (using regular expression and a smart editor like Notepad++ makes this very easy)
4. open lichess.org and go to Analysis
5. once there import all the lines of your resulting file, which will merge all PGNs into one
6. you should now have instead of hundreds or thousands of game PGNs just one PGN with multiple lines
7. turn the analysis into a study with the chapter type set to Interactive Lesson

Then just click Preview and play the game again and again until you reach the end of all variations.

Good luck! Let me know how it goes and if you want me to create such studies for other players.
