What do you guys think of this alternate to playing d5 in the Vienna gambit?
And black is able to retain his extra pawn with a decent (?) position

I personally hate playing it as black because the positions end up so unorthodox

Seems like a rare enough opening already with d4, then the odd f6... although I'd be lying if I said I've never seen this position before, albeit rare. Is it a good retaliation against f6?
it's sound...
unfortunately.

Can someone explain to me how to play the Steinitz Attack as black? I thought you could only play it as white?
Yes it's only an opening from white

Ok, that’s what I thought. In analysis of a game I just played it said “Steinitz Attack” when I took as black.. must just mean the main line.
yeah the name of the opening is for both players, white played the Steinitz attack therefore the game is a Steinitz attack game if that makes sense

Gotcha, so white established the attacks and black established the defenses
Yeah there's a memey opening called the Rat defense (which I actually have a 100% winrate somehow probably luck) but there's no name for it when you play the setup as white...

Is the main goal to simply double blacks pawns, or is their a deeper goal?
that's the main point
mega gay if I may say so myself
