Villemson Gambit
[edit | edit source]3. d4
[edit | edit source]Just like the Queen’s gambit, this move reveals an attack on the f4 pawn. However, the Villemson Gambit can cause black to wreak havoc with Qh4+. White is forced to play Ke2 because if white plays g3?? black can respond fxg3 and the h2 pawn is pinned.
