I saw this video on gambits with high win rates
Very interesting one.
How to beat strong players with this trap I made.

White is definitely better after Bxf7 as both of white's Bishops are out and well placed, while, black only has the solitary Queen out on the board.
You didn't make this trap. It's been played before.
But it is a nice one. Although it's technically losing for white, it's really hard for black to find all the right moves, while white's position basically plays itself if black is not defending properly.

Thanks for the info. I did not know this trap was already made.
I just like to play the Ghulam Kassim Gambit and sometimes this happens.
In the following game, opening: king's Gambit Accepted: Ghulam Kassim Gambit ( witch I highly recommend ), white lures black into taking what they think is a free pawn, but that allows white to play the brilliant move Bxf7! Black cannot take on f7 because he would then lose his queen. therefore, white gets back all of the material he sacked in the gambit and has a much better position according to Stockfish14.1. After black moves his king to safety, white also can set up another threat with Nc3, threatening bishop takes Bxc7! followed by a fork. Black will be overwhelmed by these attacks and will not be able to defend against all of them. I recommend using this trap on bots as they often accept your Gambit's and know such a variety of opening's that they will eventually play along. The BOT's I recommend are, Manuel (2100), Xavier (1900), Morphy (2500), and Pablo (1600), you might not beat Morphy or Manuel, but you stand a chance if you are over (1000) yourself. Good luck!
