The Trappiest Opening in Chess? | Win Quickly with the Stafford Gambit

Watch live on Twitch:
In this video (originally live-streamed on Twitch), I was asked the following question by a viewer:
“What is the main trap in the Stafford Gambit?”
I then decided to show all of the traps in the Stafford Gambit that I could think of in the moment. Although white is objectively better with precise play in the Stafford, there are SO MANY ways to go wrong and stumble into danger. Many of the trap variations feature beautiful sacrifices and mind blowing combinations. Although I go through some of them quickly in this video, I hope this offers some inspiration to win quickly and be alert for tactic in the opening!
