Bro how does a freaking 900 fall for the englund gambit trap


I mean 900 is not very high and it's not surprising to see a 900 rated player fall for the englund gambit trap. It being blitz probably also contributed.

I'd probably fall into it. I don't know much opening theory, just mainly go on general strategy & low level calculation in the openings.

If you dont think you cam fall for every trap! Only OTB players think every move. Online players prefer to use engines or to play bullet roulette

900s don't even know how the pieces move, they just pick up random pieces and try forcing them to random squares until one of their moves is legal
The englund gambit trap is really only refuted by Qd5 (Stockholm Variation) or Bg5 attacking the queen. So yes, a 900 would likely fall for that trap.
