What I would consider if I were you is if you really want to invest time in this. A 100 or 200 elo up and everyone knows 5. Bd2 and then it will take you quite some effort not to loose on the spot after 5. …Qxb2 6. Rb1
is the review correct here? (englund gambit)

I'm sure back in the covid era, chess.com would say that taking the bishop (as I did here), is not the best move.
And playing it through I can see that after I take their bishop, then they can take my rook (assuming i'm not a complete wolly as in that game and they take my queen). But if after taking his bishop, we both play the best moves, they can take my rook.
Yet it says "great move" to my taking his bishop. And it doesn't offer a "best move".
My vague recollection is that the best move is QxB2 , (my queen taking his pawn), and threatening his bishop on A1.
Also i'm skeptical that taking his bishop is a "great move" when it lets him take my rook.
