Ross gambit
Sort:
It's just a bad gambit
I like it as it gives an early lead in development, and for my rating at least, people usually dont accept the gambit in fear of it being a trap. I actually came up with the idea and then thought i was the first one to make up the gambit. I still remember winning the next like, 6 games using it

What an observant mind!
Im not really sure about this gambit kinda look weak
Look at this game, he stood no chance. The ross gambait is filled with holes
Game could continue with
2...Nc6 3. NxN dxN where Black has open development for a short time, but is a pawn down and has no pawns in the center. White will likely catch up shortly and Black will be left playing without a pawn.

who was ross?
IMO, too easy to neutralize, you only get two tempo.
One. You can't count 1. ... e5 as a tempo, because that Pawn is no longer there.
