DO NOT Lose your Queen! | Antidote for IM Rosen's Crazy Englund Gambit! | Day 2

I am sure everybody and their mother have already seen this opening. In one of my previous blog posts named 1.d4 Players HATE This! I explored the infamous Englund Gambit where Black sacrifices a pawn for tricky stuff. On the 2nd Day of 12 Days of Naycir, I explored IM Eric Rosen's crazy Englund Gambit line, which got him a lot of wins! I am so proud to announce that I saw his video before I experienced this very dubious, tricky line and I could develop a working plan.

The TRICKY TRICKSTER DOT COM Plan


I was tempted to try this but you know, I didn't want to waste my hard earned 4-digit rating... Then one day, a wild Englund Gambit appeared when I was playing in Live Chess.

I knew the target was my queen! So, prioritizing queenside development saved my day!

Here's the video about this particular line! Enjoy!

This gambit got so famous, I played against it on Saint Louis Chess Club's live stream! Then this very clippable moment appeared!

Let me know if you have played against this opening in the comment section down below!
