the anti-gambit: start with grob opening then do pawn to f3. finishes all games so quickly. would(n't) recommend.

Not exactly my own, but It reminded me of CaroKannEnjoyer02's first gambit, so I thought I'd show it. The Berlin Defense in the Ruy Lopez. There is a very interesting trap at the beginning that is backed by the computer.

This is a "Gambit" I played once in over-the-board chess against the Botvinnik-Carls Variation of the Caro-kann because I was mixing up theory, which caused me to look into if it's really that bad afterward. Normally, white will get the pawn back, or more if black falls for a trap in this line.
Now I play this in over-the-board chess on purpose, because I've come to the conclusion that it's perfectly fine and sound, and it gets my opponents out of theory.
Polish Gambit
If accepted, it doubles blacks pawns and isolates the a7 pawn

French Defense: Scholar's Gambit
it gives black a huge lead in development, while the material advantage is the same. the bishop on h6 might be preventing black from castling, and the white queen might be very dangerous, but overall it gives black a huge advantage.
I actually played THIS exact line once, when I used to play stonewall attack and wanted to kick an that surprisingly aggressive off its outpost square. NORMALLY, I always just played Nf3 automatically, but after i saw the queen's check and the familiar rook grab plans, i stopped and though a minute or even 2 before springing the queen's dungeon trap
Then it was just a matter of time maybe blocking a bishop check with c3, moving my queen to e2, bishop to d2, castling, playing Be1 to protect the rook and springing Bg2 offering black a choice of minor pieces to take.
i guess this is the "horowitz defense", so maybe I'll call it the "horror for the witch" gambit. only 5 other players in the database have found the trap. OK... playing ...e5 is how black creates his escape. fortunately my opponent didn't figure it out
Black has a lead in development, and is attacking d4.
Have had some decent succes with this one (mirrored Tübingen gambit)

Caro-Kann Defense: American Variation, Crazy Knight Attack, Santa Claus Gambit. White sacrifices the knight to lure black's king into the center for some attacking possibilities. I might actually start playing this.
Sorry about the spelling errors
The orangutan gambit
I thought that was already a thing
