I would like to personally thank all Englund players, never stop playing the Englund gambit. As a d4 player, nothing is more reassuring than my opponent playing 1.. e5, losing the game in one move. It's like a gift of free rating points every single time. Kudos to you guys

@@wicked5999 Yes, the gambit isn't that hard to refute. Under 1000 elo it has maybe about 10% conversion rate and above it, maybe 5%. But it is still playable. I have over 50% win rate with it, so it is an ok opening, especially in faster time formats. I've also caught a lot of London system premovers by surprise with it.

Pro tip for anyone wanting an easy refutation against the englund: -get to the position shown at 8:32 but instead of playing e4, you first play f4 and only then e4. -You have two pawns in the center and a developed knight. -develop your bishops with tempo on their queen. It is not winning by any means, but I (a 1700) have won 22/22 of my games from that position. Its just that easy to play.

@@Ebin-ix2jg In chess we have rating system called ELO. My ELO rating is 1700. On chess sites your rating is used to pair you up agianst opponents of similar playing strength. If you win, your elo goes up by a few points, and your opponents elo drops a few points amd the reverse if you lose. Complete beginners are usualy between 0-1000 elo and the top players of the world have a rating between 2500-3000. People have different elo ratings for the different time controls, and over the board vs online.

This line is straight up powerful. Unlike other gambit trap lines like for example the Intercontinential Ballisctic Misslie Gambit, it isn't easy for the opponent to deal with, and a lot more of your opponents will play the moves you want. I've played the Englund Gambit many times, and a large majority of my opponents accept the gambit and fall for this trap.

Also worth checking out are the Blackburne-Hartlaub/Hartlaub-Charlick Gambit variations within the Englund: you essentially gambit a second pawn with ...d6 after dxe5, recapture with the DSB, and then develop for a quick Queenside castle. If White castles in some lines, you can sac the DSB with a move like Bxh2, which usually opens up a discovered attack on the White Queen after White is forced to play a move like Kxh2. Still pretty trappy but you're in a much better position to play chess if the opponent doesn't fall for some of the most common traps and blunders versus the traditional Englund or the Rosen pre-move trap line.

The Englund is awful, since the refutation is pretty obvious. Unlike some gambits, you don't have to play anything too unusual to beat it - normal, logical moves defeat it. It's a one-trick pony that fails pretty often.

I'm reminded of something Tim McGrew once said of some other unsound but tricky gambits: you can defeat it with normal, logical moves, but they need to be the "right" normal, logical moves. Most combinations of normal, logical moves will result in just a small advantage for White, and it's probably due to that and the traps that result in the Englund scoring quite well for Black. That said, after playing this line regularly from 2004-2009, finding out about the strength of that 8.Nd5 line that forces ...Kd8 did put me off playing it somewhat, as it doesn't feel good hoping that my opponents don't know and won't stumble into the line that gives White a clear advantage.

Thanks for popularizing this, I'm encountering this a lot as white recently. After 1... e5 I usually offer them the chance to take the move back. They always decline, and then proceed to lose in about 15 moves on average :)

A bonus to this opening is you can premove 1. …e5 as black in bullet games. Backfires with the Reti but it’s rare.

I'm really low rated and it kinda pisses me off when beginners literally memorise strategies. Met a few players who very clearly took their time to learn many ways in which you can checkmate in a few moves. Since I'm a beginner, I couldn't play any moves which felt obvious and had to play unpredictably to avoid falling in their traps. In midgame they were all SHIT. Wonder why.............. yeah. They are really annoying.
