If you enjoy sacrificing pieces,this opening is good for you
After that, white has a great advantage and black is in a horrible position.

I just searched for the full form of ICBM(Intercontinental Ballistic Missile!), and the name really corresponds to the moves being played...

Sorry,

It looks like this is a similar trap to “Caro-Kann Destroyer 1”, so I can’t give this a point. But anyways, nice trap!

This is a way the ICBM Gambit could be completely fine for Black (~-1.0 according to stockfish 16...)
