Today, I got to play a super fun game of the Vienna Gambit. I simply love playing the Vienna Gambit. When the opponent accepts the gambit, it’s just so fun. Some of the lines are so ridiculous, mad, and even nasty! In a good way!

This very short Vienna Gambit game had blunders, brilliant moves, and everything in between. I just love these aggressive games with weird and unexpected positions. If I didn’t make the mistake on move 7 with Qe2, white was already in a winning position.

I hope you enjoyed this video, and thanks for watching!
