In this second part of the new series, we are going to learn the principles of the Englund Gambit.

It is a very energetic way for black to grabb control and for it... Like all gambits, it is considered not very sound, but one thing I can assure you: You will definitively have fun playing it!

                                                  Here are the introducting moves:

Black sacs a pawn and then activates the army to regain it. White must be careful, see what happens if he gets to greedy:

That was the main part of the trap - now we'll see how to play when white is more generous:

And there is another  related trap in the Englund Gambit - the Rosen Trap ! But I must warn you: Please only use this in very fast time controls - like blitz or bullet. The reason is the fact that it can easily be refuted, and black is a lot worse then. But of course, if white falls for it, you're the king! happy.png
