Englund Gambit
Explore the Possibilities
A daring chess opening that throws traditional positional play out the window.
Black offers a pawn for rapid development and tactical possibilities, creating an imbalanced but exciting game.
While not considered sound opening theory for White to accept, the Englund Gambit can be a powerful weapon in the right hands.
( An Interesting , if suspect opening against guys who like to play the London.)
