Englund Gambit

1 …e5 is tricky, never know what to do, find a video?

2 dxe5 is my response, I knew what was going to happen in a sense.

4 c3 was a mistake, Nc3 was better, had a +2 advantage.

6 …Qxc3 and I feel I have proper compensation in the form of development and center control for my 2 pawns

9 Bf4 hoping to target the c7 pawn and even the score in terms of pawns, but opp defends well.

11 O-O i had also considered Rc1 but that just helps the opponent develop it seems

14 Bb5+ was not as good as I expected. In review, my light square bishop may have been pretty strong and I did not need to give it up.

— engine says I am correct and should have just harassed the queen

15 … O-O-O was a blunder by my opponent IMO. I have two strong minor pieces taking aim. Also blunders a pawn and puts my queen near the target. I do fear a discovered attack on my queen, so staying vigilant.

18 Rc1 PP on the PP

18 …g6 allows me to capture black’s only remaining bishop, trading my knight off.

21 Qxc6+ I think the queen trade is good for me. My rooks are a bit more active and in the subsequent trades I win a pawn and my rooks become more active. I also keep the pawn majority on the queen side.

25 …Rb8 I believe declining the rook trade was best move, my rooks are better and I do not gain any further compensation, such as the pawn on c6.

27 Kf2 Rd8 active king will win me the game here, but need to watch the side checks

30 g3 as a WAITING move, I did not want to jump out at black’s pawn and trade down too much. I want to keep the advantage.

35… Rc4+ mouse slip? not sure what they were doing.

43 Kc5+ in order to stick with the pawn and not let it promote.

46 Ree2 cuts the king off from stopping my promotion and also stops any promotion by black.
