What is the Wizard gambit?
I find it unlikely many people will play e5 to d4, so it seems like an unnecessary line to plan...
1.d4 e5?! is not the "wizard gambit", it's called the englund gambit, a sort of accelerated albit countergambit. It certainly leads to a white advantage but it's not so easy to play for white and not totally lost for black. It's not at all unpopular in live chess.
2.e4 is not a new opening, it's a trasposition to the rather common danish gambit (usually 1.e4 e5 2.d4) a romantic opening that is fully playable. The two main accepted variations are the classical and wild 3.c3 dxc3 4.Bc4 cxb2 5.Bxb2 with a huge lead in defelopment for 2 pawns, and the more sedate 4.Nxc3 where white sacs only one pawn.
3...d5 is the main way to decline the gambit, often leading to rather sterile play. Black can also prepare this push with 3...Ne7.
3.f4 is highly unusual and suspicious looking in my view. 3...d5 is again a rather safe response, 3...Nc6 4.Nf3 Bb4+ might also be a tough test of this line. Also in your line 8...dxc6 looks comfortably slightly better for black, and even after 8...bxc6 9...Ba6 looks more annoying for white. And in your final position black does not stand badly.
As I said in the wizard gambit thread on post 25, 1 e4 e5 2 d4 exd4 3 f4 is the Halasz Gambit. Clyde Nakamura, known here at chess.com as DarthMusashi, has written about a family of gambits like the Halasz Gambit.
this is what I believe is a better version of the wizard gambit. U give up a pawn for a more positional game. can still develope fast and are controlling the centre.Give ure opinion on whether this is a better opening than the wizard gambit.
