Hey @lichess, thanks for the memories (and the #1 and #2 spots), but the red banner doesn't suit my style. While my Jerome and Englund blogs are dominating your charts, I’ve decided to take the talent to a platform that appreciates the hustle.

The Daily Gambit Series is moving. A grand-reopening and beyond will be dropping on Chess.com.

"Call an ambulance... but not for me!"

Have you ever played an opening so "bad" that your opponent thinks they've already won by move 3?

Welcome to the Englund Gambit. It’s the ultimate trap for players who hate theory and love chaos. If they aren't careful, the game is over before they've even finished their coffee.

See why this guide went viral on Lichess👇

Have you ever looked at a perfectly good Bishop and thought: "I don't want that"?

Or decided your opponent's King belongs in the center by move 5?

Welcome to the Jerome Gambit. Objectively terrible. Stockfish hates it. Your coach will disown you. But it’s the most noice fun you can have!

See why 600 people (and counting) are learning this unsound masterpiece: 👇
