    Hello my fellow gambiteers! I've just played my first Wheeler Gambit, not knowing what the heck I was playing. I can't find any games in the database here on Chess.com. Does anyone know of any games with this thing? Or does anyone have any experience with it? 

    Here is my game...

    When b4 is played on move 2 and the knight captures this looks like sicillian wing gambit. Go to youtube for chess videos on this opening. This is a good link also ..

    I disagree. The c-pawn hasn't been moved yet, and it's not necessary for black to do so in order to have a good game, so it's pretty much nothing like any sort of Sicilian counter.

    I have played it once as White, but no convincing enough to experiment with it yet.  As Black, someone tried it on me and fell for a trap.

    In the game above White should have tried to play the opening classically by playing 4.d4 instead of 4.g3. And if 4...d5 White has 5.e5 which is a Wing
    Gambit type of pawn formation with the pawn missing at b2.
