I always lost to the Englund Gambit every single time. And i got frustrated and kearnt all the top engine moves to refute the opening. Pls give me a like if you found it useful.
@@ChessSavage np. Also, this helped me beat some people and gain some elo. You’ve gained a happy man from your videos, but a tip to improve on (to help you) is that maybe you should add some enthusiasm into your voice, make it hear like you believe that anyone who plays this *WILL* be able to do it.
This brings back memories. The last or next to lat tournament I played in, the Harvest Open in Providence, Rhode Island in 1975. My opponent was a strong tournament and club player who I had never beaten and he was an expert in the king pawn openings so I played 1.d4. I had never seen the Englund gambit so I was surprised but I took the pawn but then made no attempt at all to hang on to it, developed my pieces and then played positionally . He castled queen side and eventually I attacked there and won the game and tied for first place in the tournament, the best I had ever done. The trick in these things is to not try and hold on to the pawn, in my opinion. Time flies, that was nearly half a century ago but I still remember the old Providence Chess club on Aborn St. although by then the bldg. was torn down and the tournament was held around the corner from there.

That would be in the 1970s right.
Wow 😲
You must be so old.
