Englund Gambit Accepted

edit

The Englund Gambit Accepted, is theoretically, the best variation for white, just capturing the free pawn, here black can try many moves, including the Rosen Trap, Englund Trap (after 2... Nc6 3. Nf3 Qe7 4. Bf4 Qb4+), the Soller Gambit (2... f6) or the Hartlaub-Charlick Gambit (2... d6).
