In this video, IM Andrey Ostrovskiy is sharing with you the Englund Gambit, which is nowadays a rarely played opening. It starts with the moves:

1.d4 e5

after 1...e5, black is offering a pawn and is aiming to bring out the queen early on to start an attack on the queen side. After 2.dxe5 Nc6 3.Nf3 Qe7 4.Bf4 Qb4+ white needs to play carefully as black has set some traps that white needs to be aware of. If white avoids all the traps then white gets a very convincing positional advantage and therefore the Englund Gambit isn't an opening that is recommended for black to play.
