Chessable author IndrekR takes on one of the worst openings in chess, the dubious Englund Gambit (1. d4 e5?).The Englund Gambit is very common in Bullet and Blitz. It is the pet system of ChessBrah, GM Aman Hambleton who has even tried it in Classical chess. But, make no mistake about it, it is a bad bad opening. In this course we will learn how to refute all its possible sub-variations.
Knowing how to refute a gambit is half the battle.
Why bother learning to refute a lousy gambit? Finding a response to “bad” moves over the board, even with plenty of time, is not easy. The Englund has even claimed some victims in correspondence games!
It's short. It's high quality. It will win you games.
This course offers something for players interested in:
(1) Fast time controls.
(2) Improving players or beginners to learn the importance of central control and quick development in the opening.
(3) Anyone who likes to punish bad opening play.
