I always love playing Gambits as long as it's not not the Englund Gambit...

The Englund gambit has an insane queen sac line, have you seen it?

I'd love to learn more about the Englund actually, so please do! It's an opening I didn't get into much just because I didn't know how to play well against it.

If you had met me like a year and a half before, Danish gambit was my main and I played it in a tournament and got pretty good results!

The Englund Gambit is awful. It seems like everyone’s playing it in rapid games lately. If you know how to refute it it will lead to a crap game after that because your opponent’s position will be...confused. I mean, it will be an easy win, but just garbage chess.

I play the King's Gambit even in classical time control OTB games.

Just because something has been refuted at the grandmaster level, doesn't mean you can't inflict serious damage with it at the U2000 level.
