Hey guys, if you believe or not, after an Instagram Reel by GM Igor Smirnov, I started playing the Duras Gambit (e4 f5 ef5 Kf7) and surprisingly, I've won every single game (it's been idk ten?) with it yet. Is this because of the confusion or just because 1200s became that bad?

it’s an interesting idea, developing your king early.

most players wait for the endgame to do that, but since you are winning in the openings we might as well call them endgames.

The sheer cleverness and ingenuity of it all,open the game with the ending. Such panache!

I suspect it is panic. They cant remember what to do against it, and dont have time to think through the right response.
