The Best NEW Opening Trap!
You say you've mastered all the traps? Or, maybe you're stuck with openings and don't know what to play as black. If you're looking for a sneaky, fun opening trap for Bullet or even Blitz, then use this! It currently has no name, but starts off with the Englund Gambit. You must be black to play this particular opening.
This opening trap is so fun. Here are a few tips to 'master' the opening:
1. Premove your knight "blunder". Your opponent is more likely to think it is a mistake, and then will be lured into your trap.
2. Yes, you will be down a bishop and a knight, but you win a queen, and stockfish gives you nearly +4! Hopefully this helps persuade you.
3. Of course, never play this in a serious tournament or against someone you know will see the trap.
4. Important: Finally, I sourced this information from IM Eric Rosen's YouTube video. He also takes you through the different lines - but you can always do this yourself with the databases on Chess.com and Lichess.org. Click here to watch the video.
