Many of you chess-players out there know that the number 8 is fun as well as magic and especially approved by God. A funny thing is that God also approve the Englund Gambit. You have a mate in 8 (!magic!) moves, which has a kind of aesthetic value. It goes like: 1.d4 e5, 2. exd5 Nc6, 3. Nf3 Qe7, 4. Bf4 Qb4+, 5. Bd2 Qxb2, 6.Bc3 Bb4, 7. Qd2 Bxc3 8. Qxc3 Qc1 mate!!!
