Hey William! I was wondering if you have seen a gambit line in the philidor that basically looks like the goring gambit - lichess calls it the birds gambit? birds eye gambit? I've seen like 2 videos on youtube covering it but as the goring gambit master I figured I'd ask your thoughts on it. :)
I’m still slowly getting better and doing really well at slow games but I’m relatively trash at anything faster than rapid 10 min. Any advice on getting faster Gambit Man sir?
Force yourselves to play some puzzle rush, and blitz / bullet. Try maybe some no increment as well. You will blunder a lot, but so will your opponents, and that's how we learn. Do not make this your priority, maybe dont analyse as much, these rating are not as important. It's just good training sometimes to be faster, better at board visualisation, better at spotting tactics quickly, better at converting winning positions, better at making practical decision (how and when to simplify etc) better at time scrambles etc. At the end it will probably help you in slower chess as well, at least a little. Good luck trying speedchess !!!
