Also known as Elephant gambit...

I've seen this played against me a few times by now. It's a rather odd response to the Elephant gambit and it usually leads to a quick loss for white.

The opening has three different names officially--Queen's pawn counter-gambit, Englund counterattack, and Elephant gambit. More commonly called the Elephant gambit.

I'm wondering what the 3. Bc4!! variant is called. The pre-move mistake attack?

Why not? lol

I'm making a statement, saying something is ridiculous is sometimes a compliment.
