Hi  guys. First of all i now that this is just a 3 min Blitz game, but i have tried a new opening lately, and its quite fun. Have anyone tried this one before, and does anyone know its name, if it has one?

The Englund Gambit Complez: Soller gambit looks like it, but i am not sure.

I ended up with a nice mate in this game...feel free to comment:)

It's the "Englund Gambit."

The Englund gambit. Wiki it up ... as it suggests, it is the one of the weaker ways of dealing with 1.d4. For slow games, you're better off playing the Albin or Budapest if you don't want to book up on the solid stuff. Of course ... if you can find material online, consider the Baltic as an another option.

If blitz is your what your chess apetite desires, then play this by all means. Quite tricky and there are a lot of documented traps and shots.

5. ...Ne4 looks interesting.

You missed a little tactical shot early in the game.

 

 

p.s. "5. .... Ne4 looks interesting" yes, also good..... I suppose White has nothing better than 6. Be3 and a horrible game after 6 .... Bxe3.

Sweet mate. Good job.

Also, Black might have played:

 

 

even as early as the 12th move, Bxe3 might have worked, but it's a little more complicated with something like -   12. . . .Bxe3 13. fxe5 Bxd2+ 14. Rxd2 h6 15.exf6 hxg5  etc.
