2. d5? · Englund gambit declined
[edit | edit source]White avoids ...exd4 by pushing their pawn to d5. This is a mistake only in that it does not punish Black for their mistake. The Englund gambit is bad for Black, but if White does not know the refutation they may choose this line to avoid complications.
