"The opening gains its name from Elijah Williams' use of the opening in the 1840s and 1850s. Later William Williams used the opening to great effect and published a book of his analysis in 1997.  Williams suggested that the opening resembled an Englund Gambit with colors reversed."  Whereas Stockfish considers it a clear advantage for Black, only a sharp tactical player will succeed.
