How to punish the Englund Gambit (1.d4 e5) - White Repertoire

Dear Chess Friends,

I started uploading my opening repertoire to my Patreon channel. If you want a strong repertoire for yourself, I highly recommend you to watch my videos in which I talk about opening lines and I explain middlegame strategies, too. I checked my lines with Stockfish, so they are completely reliable.

In this video, I teach you how you can punish the Englund Gambit. Here is the link to that: https://www.patreon.com/posts/white-opening-to-120539284?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

I hope you'll find it useful. If you like it and you want to see my private educational videos, you can subscribe to my Patreon channel. I upload 4-8 hours of videos / month and you can learn about openings, strategies, tactics and endgames, too. I also upload daily puzzles in 4 levels every day.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write to me.

Kind regards,

Gabor

Swell

My opponent sucks these kind of games! Nice Gabor!

Thank you!

Stupid. There is more for Black than going for the trap variation.

I'm not talking only about the trap variation, that was just the Preview of the video. You can watch the full video with a membership on my channel.

FM is not accepting challenge

Watch your mouth bub.

These were two games I played. I won as black in 9 moves. When Qb4+, best move is Bd2

My opponent did not play Bd2 and got punished

That's why White needs to learn the proper lines.

For real

@bgabor91 thank you so much! ik soooooooooooooo many people in my elo who play that

You're welcome. Yeah, it's quite popular but if you know how to handle it, you'll get a much better position after the opening.

I only faced the Englund once so far and it was a total breeze. My opponent blundered his queen after just 12 moves.

I merely developed naturally.

Its possible that part of why it was so easy was because I moved really fast, so maybe I created the Hikaru effect (move really fast, but make really strong moves, causing the opponent to panic and make errors).

If you are really curious (but the game is nothing special):
