Englund Gambit



There were far better options for me to take I think. What happens if 20. Nxf5 for example?
Not a game loser, but there were definitely far better moves (he missed it as it turns out)

I spent ALOT of time in the Englund gambit and at the end of my quest I can only conclude that it is just far too unsound. Perhaps in a 1 minute blitz as a surprise weapon it is ok-- for anything elsevery very very bad. The more I studied the less I liked it, untill I gave it up and it went into my never-use opening closet for good. If it interests you I could see if my games archive contains the last 50 games I played with it- The power of preparation is a curious thing I won almost 70 percent of my games with the englund gambit....in corespondece chess! [edit] : I looked over my record seems they are too old and chess.com has long removed them but if the matter still interests you I would hapily prepare an elaborate report of my extensive research-Just Pm me.
After a losing streak against 1. d4, I tried out the Englund Gambit in blitz play - and won against a good player (2014 on main site, though 1287 in blitz)
I know it's an unsound opening, but anyone know any of the traps/know any useful websites about the opening? I think it's one that is well worth having in my locker for blitz play if I can learn the main traps
