aauntbutters sh.itjust.works1Hide 1 replyInteresting. It seems like dubious sharp lines, like the Englund gambit, lead to the shortest games. If you don't know what you're doing, you can easily go wrong. But if you know the refutation, your opponent quickly gets a losing position as well.4

Lifecoach5000 lemmy.worldNeat. I’m currently a Vienna Gambit guy myself. Seems to work pretty well for me and I get some interesting positions2
