The Stafford Gambit is an objectively dubious, but highly venomous opening. Black sacrifices a pawn in order to get extremely active pieces and direct threats against f2 and 0-0. If white doesn't know what to do then he can lose the game quickly.

There are plenty of opening traps. I selected a long collection for you. Even strong players can fall into these traps if he don't know them.

Why It Created?

This course created to help you build your opening understanding and repertoire. Stafford gambit is an important system that will help you create strong attacks on f2. Using this system you'll not learn how to attack and how to use the tactics for your benefit. In the contrary, if you don't know what to do against it then you might lose quickly.
