I’m not clicking on that link.

4... d5 also works... Then it's 5... e4. This line is straight from Igor Smirnov (he cracks me up: at one point he says, "Believe it or not, White has already lost. I don't even understand it myself.").

White isn’t already losing after 4.exf5 according to Stockfish it is only -0.1

Also if white plays d4 instead of accepting the gambit it is +1.1

Sorry, that was misleading. He says that about a different move, later in the game.

Would you rather have a pause button ⏸️ for your life or be able to travel back in time 10 minutes?

Woah relax

Of course. It's just that exf4 seems an obvious move. It looks like you blundered a Pawn. They take it.

Another Gambit I like is the Ponziani Steinitz, against the Fried Liver, but it's even easier to refute. White just needs to play 5. Bxf7 instead of 5. Nf7. But I have close to 80% wins with this... so I love to see the Fried Liver ("you're dogfood now, bro").

Your mileage may vary. I don't get many opponents over 1200 rating or so (unfortunately).

If you rely on traps, you'll never improve.

I know what you're talking about. If you can look at a board and not understand what's going on, it will not help that you know such and such an opening x lines deep, or know a few trick moves. And I hate it when beginners bring their Queen out early, like the Fool's Mate or Scholar's Mate: it's an attempt to just kill the game right from the onset. No need for skill. Just memorize a few moves and hope your opponent isn't paying attention.

But I don't generally rely on Gambits or trick moves. My main opening as White is the London: it's simple and has ideas I understand: memorizing lines is not the thing. As Black, yes, I'm still struggling. I'm studying the French Defense, the Dutch and the Scandinavian. Wish me luck.

Also use proper grammar it’s ”this doesn’t belong here”.

So since 1000s love to attack pieces they will all play c6

Why would anyone play ne7

1. E4 e5 2. Nf3 nc6 3. Nf3 nc6 (4 knights) 4. D4 (scotch gambit) exd4 5. Nd5 nxe4 6. Qe2 c5 7. Ng5 and u win the knight
