Beating Everyone with the Same Opening Trap (Stafford Gambit)

Watch live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/imrosen This video features 3 games (played in the same day) in which the white side falls victim to the same simple and devious opening trap in the Stafford Gambit. The trap involves a "fishing pole" idea with an early h5 and Ng4. While the Stafford Gambit is not necessarily a sound opening, it is highly venomous. If white is not prepared, then it can be easy for black to win quite quickly!
