Common Traps in the Englund Gambit

How have you been?

I’ve got some exciting news 📣

For the past months, I’ve been working hard on my next course that will you provide you with an opening repertoire.

For now, mark the launch date (July 29th) while I polish the final details!

The Englund Gambit (named after the Swedish player Fritz Englund) is an opening where Black quickly sacrifices a pawn after 1.d4 e5.

If you are a Queen’s Pawn Opening player, chances that you will face this opening, at least occasionally, are high. This gambit is the fourth most common reply to the move 1.d4 and Black can set many traps. That’s why I created a video to show you how to avoid and even punish the most common traps.

If you play the Englund Gambit as Black, I’ll also tell which is the variation that I would prefer to play as Black.
