Intro
Hello my brothers and sisters! Welcome to my 6th consecutive Monday blog. With this blog I complete my double hat-trick of Monday posts. Today's blog is very special. It's about playing the Alien Gambit in 2 openings other than the Caro-Kann defense. Let's begin...
1️⃣ The original Alien Gambit in the Caro-Kann defense
Not all my viewers know about the Alien Gambit. There are some novices among my followers, so I should introduce the original Alien Gambit first:
The Alien Gambit
However, the creator of this gambit, @Witty_Alien plays it in this way:
Both the lines lead to the same position. So it doesn't matter much.
2️⃣ Alien Gambit: Bonjour Variation
This term was coined by @Witty_Alien himself. Bonjour is a greeting used in the French language and therefore, Alien Gambit: Bonjour Variation refers to the Alien Gambit which is played in the French defense:
I have watched Witty play this in 3 YouTube Shorts. The games are so cool:
My experience with the Alien Gambit: Bonjour Variation
I have tried it thrice in Bullet games but I had no idea what I was doing. I won the games by timeout but I was not really winning. Nothing special about the games but still, here are the links:
3️⃣ Scandinavian Defense: Closed, Alien Gambit
I discovered this variation in my game against @nebilhussien in the official
1|0 Bullet Arena and although
it is not as dangerous as the other variations, it's worth mentioning. First I'll show you the line and then I'll show you our game.

I have already mentioned that it is not very dangerous. I lost the game because of other mistakes.

Okay that's it for today's blog. I hope you enjoyed reading it. I have done a lot of research for this blog i.e. I carefully watched and reviewed 196 YouTube Shorts which were uploaded by Witty from 1st November 2023 to 21st March 2024. My next blog will be posted after a long time. Bye!
