I'm sorry you got upset that I criticised your favourite opening @chainlincfence.
LMAO My favorite opening? What I'm saying is it works. Some people are bothered by the fact that some others don't enjoy playing the sicilian or whatever.

Ok, well you obviously took it very hard when I said the Schliemann was better than the Rousseau Gambit.
I don't know why you're on about the Sicilian all of a sudden. Different people enjoy different things. There's nothing wrong with that.
A really fun one to play is the ICBM, heres a video on it

ah yes the icbm
where you sacrifice a pawn to win the queen
and if your opponent doesn’t fall for it you’re in a terrible position
Why do people insist on playing garbage just for the dopamine rush of “oh wow he fell for it 🤣”? Play an actual opening, play actual chess. GothamChess hates the Ruy Lopez but he literally recommends the Englund Gambit. Almost no opening traps are sound compared to legitimate openings. Compare the Ruy Lopez:
BobbyBojanglles fans can’t get past 500 for a reason.
@chainlincfence
d4 where? Show the line
Line 4 has no d4 but it's not actually bad to allow the fork and is close to equal since they can't really take the rook at any point. Line 4's eval is about +0.8 at best for white and there are a lotta ways white can go wrong.
Let's take your examples and lable them examples 1, 2, 3, 4.
I'll only go through 1 and 3 briefly. These are just showing bad play by white to make it look better.
Example 1: The Rousseau Gambit sells this trick where taking on f5 is bad because of e5-e4. Anyone who has any decent chess sense would not give up the centre and allow this.
Example 3: This is an obvious centre fork trick. Anyone who is any good at chess will know this idea from the 4 knights Italian.
These are literally baby steps.
So case one, you can't show that an opening is good by showing bad lines for the other side "Look how good this opening is when the opponent makes this BAD move."
Example 4: This is transposing into the Lucchini Gambit. It sells another trick where this Knight Attack doesn't work, as black gets a strong attack. This might be a bit harder to see for some but after 5. Nc3, white is significantly better.
Example 2: This is the good line for white, but you cut it short, as to not show how horrible it looks for black.
You have to play stuff like Qd6 and be passive. Normally when someone plays a gambit, it's for rapid development, initiative and attack. This is doing none of those things. It's a gambit where you basically strangle yourself.
In the Ruy Lopez, d4 isn't as strong because of 4. d4 fxe4 5. Nxe5 Nxe5 6. dxe5 c6. And c6 comes with tempo on the bishop.
Maybe some of the tricks you showed work against inexperienced players. If they don't work then you just have a garbage position.
It's not a serious opening.
Bro and now you ignore those pages I wrote about the Rosseau gambit? exd4 is the best move.

Btw, no offense or anything I just wanted to showcase my opinion in a dramatic manner
I'm sorry you got upset that I criticised your favourite opening @chainlincfence.
I'm sorry I have to point out that yall are still saying fxe4 is the best move against d4 and that once again just like your opposer you're shortening some of the lines. In example 2, Pressure gets released even if it's not the best line.
Yeah, even if it's +1.1, that's because fxe4 and not exd4. Except, where is that squeezing you were talking about? Where again?
Bro and now you ignore those pages I wrote about the Rosseau gambit? exd4 is the best move.
I already discussed your lines.

took 10 minutes to show the common theory for the lines, i think gotham gatekeeps because of all the diversity there is in the ruy lopez
but these positions are fun, why ignore this when its so fun and instead play the quiet italian or the scotch? you're just shooting yourself in the face at that point
black can deviate easily in these positons and you gotta know what youre doing, if you dont you can still do your basic Nd2-Nf1-Ng3 thing and mix it up with a4 or bc2 or d5 to close everything
I'm sorry you got upset that I criticised your favourite opening @chainlincfence.
I'm sorry you're completely ignoring the pages I've written on the lines that are actually good for black in the Rosseau gambit. You're needing to ignore them to actually try to make, I don't know.. any point about it being bad?

Yeah. So tell me where was the bad part again? Was there even one? Why do you keep laughing when I make a point? SamuelAjedrez95, your entire point is made by duct tape and straws.

Bruh look
Your queen is on d6 and none of your pieces have anywhere useful to go. Best move here is Qe6. That's how miserable the position is. This is like +2.0.
After exd4
Look how sad your pieces are.

If you’re going to try for the ICBM, at least do it against the Caro, where the risk/reward ratio is heavily skewed in your favor.
Observe:
You know you could have this:

Omg, I remember someone showed this line but showed 6. Bg6+ Kxg6 7. Qxd8, winning the queen! Rough... 🤣

You already answered your own question with that. Those traps tend to be snappy, flashy, and quick. Thats what attracts a type of player. Most of the times they will just get away until a plateau. I am not talking about the quirky "oh I am 2500+ and still use these" people as they could beat a person with piece odds anyways so their point is moot there.
