No offense, I don't really think it's a very good gambit. If they know the gambit it's very easy to stop. I would say it's ok for below 1500. Also, quick opening traps don't teach anything about chess, and doesn't improve your game at all. Eventually you'll have to ditch the opening and find a better one and your middle game and endgame will still be bad in that case

True that is true but as I mentioned in blitz and bullet for lower rated players this can be an easy win solution. I know it isn’t reliable “obviously” for longer games in the professional level but it gets the job done. If I’m being honest if you wanna play safe just stick to Sicilian or e4 e5 and play on. Well I hope you enjoyed the video.

I wouldn’t say that it doesn’t teach you anything about chess… many people have fallen for it because they don’t know about it so it lets you learn to acknowledge that it is a trap and you will not fall for it again

The line with 3...Bf5 is probably the best answer for black but instead of 4...Qd4, better to play 4...Nc6 to prepare 5...Nd4 attacking both Qe2 and c2

Just a word about bullet kind of game, it's not chess. It's just an arcade game...

I completely agree but it’s necessary to have know;edge on all kinds of openings and traps despite the fact that you won’t play them but you will one day find yourselves falling to one.
