Most chess players who open with 1.d4 expect quiet, strategic battles. They build up their center, bring out their pieces calmly, and prepare for a slow grind. But what if you could flip the script completely—forcing them out of their comfort zone and into a tactical minefield from the very start?
That’s exactly what this powerful weapon for Black does. We're talking about the Englund Gambit. And though some say this isn't the most sound, it is one of the most played. Hence, you need to learn how it works—how to play it and against it.
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov dives into the Englund Gambit—a hyper-aggressive response to 1.d4 that’s designed to catch White off guard and hand you the initiative right away. Despite its obscure reputation, this gambit is surprisingly effective and full of venom. Even titled players have stumbled into its traps.
You’ll learn the key ideas, common mistakes, and devastating lines that will make your opponents regret playing 1.d4. You'll also learn how to play against it and exploit its weaknesses.
