Using the Extended Interactive Lesson feature of LiChess Tools, try to play the gambit as famous veteran Youtuber Tryfon Gavriel

Welcome to another Play like... entry, this time featuring veteran Youtuber CM Kingscrusher, real name Tryfon Gavriel. I am featuring a study containing a PGN for the first 25 moves of 318 games in which he player the Von Hennig gambit against the Caro-Kann and won in 70% of the cases. Each variation is commented with a shallow computer eval so you know how well you did.

Can you play like him? Find out in this study: Play the Hennig Gambit like CM Kingscrusher

Note that you can only play the Interactive Lesson if you have installed the LiChess Tools browser extension. Otherwise you will only play the first line.

The Von Hennig gambit sacrifices a pawn for quick development, as most gambits do, but then the position is quite OK even by computer standards.
