Blitz Chess #387: Sicilian Defense, Wing Gambit

White plays the Wing Gambit in reply to the Sicilian Defense. Its point, as is the case with nearly all gambits, is to open lines and accentuate one’s development. If one is not familiar with an open game that quickly turns dynamic, tipping one’s own king may not be far off. What is a good system to employ in response to 2. b4?! This was a 5|0 time control game, where I was playing with the black pieces.

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
