Train it in TheoriaAbout the Zilbermints Gambit
The Zilbermints Gambit is a branch of the Myers Defense, 1. c4 g5, a reversed Grob setup that targets d4. After 2. d4, Black does not protect g5, which the c1-bishop now attacks. Instead 2...e5 also puts the e-pawn en prise to the d4-pawn, wagering two pawns on open lines and fast development. The line rarely appears in serious play. Reference analysis already judges 1...g5 to give White a significant advantage.
