The Englund Gambit is a rarely played chess opening that starts with the moves 1.d4 e5. Black’s idea is to avoid the traditional closed queen’s pawn games and create an open game with tactical chances, but at the cost of a pawn.
It is a very sharp opening line, but objectively incorrect, which means that it will be difficult for Black if White plays well. Therefore, it is recommended to play this opening only for blitz and bullet games. Also, it is better to play this opening against club players and beginners, and risky to play against experienced players.
If you are club player and/or play against club players, you can play this opening to get your opponents out of their comfort zone and surprise them. This opening also offers a lot of traps that White must avoid.
In this video lesson, the RCA guest coach IM Asaf Givon explains how to play this opening for both White and Black sides. He explains how to set traps as Black and how to avoid them as White. Therefore, this video is like a comprehensive repertoire for Englund Gambit.
