About the Zilbermints Double Gambit

The Zilbermints Double Gambit is an offbeat branch of the Queen's Knight Defense. Once 3. Nf3 has covered h4, White threatens fxe5. Black ignores this and plays 3...g5, so both the e5- and g5-pawns can be taken. The thrust attacks f4 and aims to deflect or exchange White's f-pawn and open lines. In return, Black loosens their own kingside. It is better suited to surprising an opponent than to established theoretical play.
