What do you think of the Soller Gambit??

It is a nice gambit but at the beginner level it is only played to attempt Scholar’s Mate with Qf3 instead of Qh5.

(1.d4 e5 2.dxe5 f6 3.exf6 Qxf6 4.Nc3 Bc5)

Poucin recommends the same line that Buecker and Bronznik recommend. Black's best, according to Stefan Buecker, is 5...d6, but the point is that 3.e4! "brings the second player to the brink of defeat" (Bronznik p.11). 

 

not according to stockfish

I know he's closed his account now, but according to stockfish, the Soller gambit as @Poucin plays it with 6.Ng5 is given as +2.3 by Stockfish at a depth of  33. And against 5....d6 Ng5 is +3.! I'd say that's a refutation.

And it's bad. Black is a tempo ahead for a pawn so he develops the knight but white can pin it right away.

 



Ww can unpain it by bishop

This is a quick checkmate opening I saw online from ChessMakta on Youtube:

As ridiculous as that game is, I once beat an “A” player, rated over 1800, in a USCF OTB rated game, with 1. Nf3 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3. e3 Nf6 4. Bxc4 Bg4 5.Ne5 Bh5 6.Qxh5 Nxh5 7.Bxf7#

I can’t explain his fifth move.

The Englund gambit sucks... The easiest games I had as a d4 player were always against the Englund. It's not the objective eval.... though that's bad too. It just isn't difficult to respond to. Usually when I see these model games from Englund players they show white playing very dumb moves I would never play.

This starts with the England gambit! It’s an opening where u give up a pawn on d4. If u sacrifice one more the solver gambit begins. Grabbing the pawn with a quick knight... U wanna keep it the speed right? I already developed my bishop I’m ready for castling in ur hast u will pin me I know what a crazy move! If u wanna take my queen go ahead and take it, IL TAKE YOUR LIFE! CHECKMATE
