The orangutan
The Ammonia Opening
English Opening, Kings English, Double Whammy

GothamChess covered the Double Whammy in an Opening Video, but he named it th Vampire Gambit (because the flank pawns look like a vampire's teeth). Its just like te King's Gambit but with a pawn on c4 instead of e4

I want to learn about Double Whammy.

You can, GothamChess made an entire Opening Video about it, but he called it The Vampire Gambit

in trying to play a smith morra gambit last week, i stumbled on

1. e4 c5 2. d4 g6 3. Nf3 Bg7 4. c3 b6 5. Bc4 Bb7 Hyperaccelerated Pterodactyl

i stumbled on it so hard I broke my nose

i've also compiled theory for an opening I feel inclined to call the Zeller (variation) Ice Queen because it's based on Qe2 and is BRUTAL at 63:34 in 3,000 games and MOST lines lead to +5 well before move 15!

1.d4 d5 2.e4 Blackmar Diemer Gambit

2...dxe5 3.Nc3 Bf5 Zeller Defense

3.Qe2!? The Ice Queen

y'all are witness to a BIRTH today

I was there ; )
