TRICKY Chess Opening for Black Against 1.e4 [Kholmov Gambit TRAPS]

In today’s video lesson, I’m sharing with you a tricky chess opening for Black against 1.e4. Most of the tricky chess openings are unsound if your opponents play the right moves, however this is a solid chess opening in addition to being tricky.

It is the Kholmov Gambit from the Damiano Variation of the Petrov’s Defense which happens after the following moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 Nxe4 4.Qe2 Qe7, where Black just copies/mimics White’s moves. However, it’s a lot trickier than one can imagine! Watch the full video lesson below:
