Recently, I’ve been playing a little bit less chess as I’ve not only been busy at work, but I’ve also been learning how to fish during my spare time. 🎣😅👍

So, I found it interesting that in the last two rated games I played on chess.com, I not only had the black pieces, but managed to win both with the Jaenisch Gambit against the Ruy López Opening (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 f5)! 🤩 Sometimes, things come in runs, and this is a good one!

The big takeaway from these games is to try the Jaenisch Gambit as a winning response against White’s Ruy López Opening. If you like open tactical games, it often results in fun tactical positions. Even better, it is statistically the most successful response by Black!
