The Snake

Sort:
Doctor-Advanced-Pawns

This opening is played really rarely but its very good. You can play this Opening as Black if your opponent plays 1.e4. it goes like this:

Black has a great position. This is line 2:

This is also called the Snake Gambit. A mistake many people make is taking the free pawn on e5. Though the pawn may look juicy and hanging its actually a counter-gambit and within a few moves white can take over the position. Black sacrifices two pawns to equalize the position and if you play nicely you can regain your 2 pawns with a even better position. lf you cannot get your pawns back, don't worry, even though the position might look bad it is weak and if you are a good player you will take advantage( l could not continue the line since there are 23+ ways to counter whites center)

Bonus!!!

This is how to counter the Sicilian

Bonus!!!!! Two Noobs attempting the Snake

This line destroys white and the first variation of the snake. lt was played by Garry Kasporov, Bobby Fischer, Steiniez and many more( they all won 86% of the time using the snake)

The snakes goal is to destroy the position, paralyze the opponent and make your opponent weak using gambits. This is why it is called The Snake because it is just like a real Snake.

It seems to have completely different moves each time. I know that black has to adjust but there should be at least some common moves.

It seems to depend on white playing badly.
