My First Englund Gambit

I am black

5 Qd2?? falls into the trap. 5 Bd2 should win for white.

great job Mantram! Though I think the Englund Gambit might be more suited to bullet games than rapid :):)

Don’t let this gambit pull you into bad openings. It might work on Joe Schmoe but not on Chessmaster

@Mantram_Patel Try this trap from Eric Rosen

If it doesn’t work out, you’ll only lose a pawn

And if it does work, you might still lose the game... which I think the example illustrates quite nicely too :)

@antiant “The hardest game to win is a won game” - Lasker. It's a game so everything is possible. I won like this a couple of times, it was fun

Wow 1... e5 is a "blunder" according to the engine.

For improvement, avoid these traps and play sound chess.

I like the Englund Gambit. It’s a nice aggressive opening.
