This is for all you players who are complaining about those WQA players
.
I have posted this before, but I feel a new generation needs to know about this powerful gambit. Although it is most effective OTB, you can try it online as well
Now, before you start your scoffs and scorns, here's why this gambit is so powerful, especially among higher-rated players:
Chess, as we all know, is 10% skill and 90% mindset. GM's lose all the time, not because they're bad, but because they feel inferior to their opponent, and that clouds their judgment. This gambit

places your opponent in a situation where they have two choices:

1. Take the free win, decline the gambit, accept the disrespect, and lose all chess street credence.

2. Continue to play on, accepting the gambit. This will have shaken them, though, they'll feel they'll never know what you're going to play next, and that mindset will be their downfall.

.

Now, when playing this gambit, there are some very important rules you must follow. 

After placing the king in that vulnerable position, slowly look up from the board with an angry and challenging look in your eye.

Make eye contact with your opponent for exactly 6.59 seconds, and then mouth (Don't whisper or make any noise, just mouth it) "Do it. I dare you"

Sustain eye contact for another 3.6 seconds, then sit down and cross your arms and act like you didn't just make the most balls-ey move in chess history.

Every time I've used this tactic OTB, it worked for me, and I even used it once in an online game!

Aren't you tired of having stockfish yell at you every single time you do a game review. You should learn new openings or you might lose to the almighty Wayward Queen Attack, Bongcloud Gambit.

Did you not read the post?

MegaThief

well thats what I would do impulsively, so my opponent would have no time to stare at me and play that mind game

MegaThief

also how do you "play on" and "accept the gambit"? Decline the free mate? Play another developing move?

You "accept the gambit" by realizing that it's a joke.

You ruin the joke by not getting it 2 years later.

It's crazy how people just randomly dig up these posts that I've completely forgotten about.
