Stafford Gambit?
Sort:
Try any openings that look interesting to you. Even if you don’t stick with it you will probably learn something from playing it. As far as gambits go I would say they are the best kind of openings to learn for someone in the 800s.

As a can't get out of the 800s so far player I probably don't have any business considering any kind of gambit but this looks like something to try as a black opening to get on offense fast rather than counterpunch. It also looks like something a decent player/opponent will recognize immediately and you'll lose if you can't adapt away from it pretty quick?
at your rating anything flies but be warned that the Stafford gambit isn't a good opening, you won't get anything out of it at higher ratings i.e even just 1200 (I had Englund and Stafford gambits refutation memorized by that point)
