Train it in TheoriaAbout the Zilbermints Countergambit
The Zilbermints Countergambit arises when White, having started with 2. Nf3, plays 3. c4 to steer toward a Queen's Gambit, and Black replies 3...b5. The wing pawn attacks c4 and can be taken. If White captures, the c-pawn leaves the center and gives up its pressure on d5. In exchange Black gets a half-open file and some activity. The line is a rare sideline, classified under ECO D02.
