    Not to criticise, but you need to watch the witty alien video on the alien gambit. Play d4 and don’t give the knight check unless the bishop comes out, otherwise castle rook e1 etc. the gambit becomes even more powerful when u play it like witty

    I used to play a opening like this 8 or 9 years ago in a online app called dr.chess. Moving only the knight all the way to the king and disable the castling right by sacrificing it, then unleash full attack on king. But now i forgot the follow up moves, the main aim is to disable the castling rights. This method won't work all the time, but i have beaten a national master with that method when i was around 1200 to 1300 rating..

      Gambit had already been refuted... But the move that stops it is really hard to find, and most Caro players go for their ordinary, logical moves often result in problems.

      Hikaru knows more about this Gambit than both of those you just mentioned. Hikaru played this opening in the nineties against Robby Adamson. Adamson was playing this gambit a long long time before witty gave it the meme name. Probably before Witty was born actually.

      Damn that's wild if it's true. But, Gotham and Witty made instructive video about it. Is there a video of Hikaru playing it from back then. ?@@OvercookedOctopusFeet

      @@shuvro40 If you go to GMHikaru's channel, his video is called "Learn to play the Alien Gambit with Hikaru!!". At the 13 minute point he tells a story about how the Alien gambit is not new at all, he played it when he was a kid against Robby Adamson (Adamson made the opening well known back then, and even then it was well known a long time before him).. so yeah, Witty gave it a silly name but it is not new. I recommend Hikaru's video on it. (it is a 2 or 3 minute talk from hikaru between playing his moves so bear with him as he explains to the end)
