So my last forum on how to beat the Stafford got a lot of good feedback. So today I'm going to show you an attacking line/refutation that turns the tables against black. Hopefully this can help you win some future games. Enjoy!

So the best move is accepting the gambit, and if you do. Black will follow up with this 99% of the time
