A little more serious game, where I played a master rated 2444, who opted for Duras in order to give me a fair chance (my rating is 1890). It was a simultaneous match with 16 boards, and we all had 20min + 7 sec per move (40mins +7 sec per move for the master). I made many inaccuracies, and burned a lot of time, which served me fine at the end, since in a tricky double edged position master started playing heavily on my time, and made mistakes. Hope you like it

why are you playing d6 in the opening, it just makes the opening more unsound. d5 is better because at least you have the center.
It’s a bad opening but people blunder against it. White has at least +5 but loose to being unprepared

I dont think this gambit is that bad, a little better than the englund gambit for sure. If black plays logically with Nf6, ...d5, ...Bd6, ...0-0, Black would only be somewhat worse. At least he's up a tempo.
If you are not crazy about playing gambits, you guys are not going to discuss the "DURAS GAMBIT" here, right? If you really are crazy about gambits, consider joining my club where we organize regular tournaments starting from various gambit positions to PRACTICE YOUR GAMBITS. We will organize our first tournament after we reach 30 members. Since this is a new club, still we have 5 members. So, Your help will be appreciated
1. e4 f5 2. exf5 Nf6 3. g4 leads to interesting play favoring white
I have just to this gambit and have never felt so horrid in my chess career before. Oh heavens it hurts.
Queen sac to mate. Don't think this is such a good opening...

What's funny is that I actually play that against people a lot. The position is terrible but because of how random it is a lot of people won't know what to do against it. Though if your opponents are above 1200 rating it's likely that they will know how to attack your highly intoxicated royalty.
With the Fred, you are more likely to make a mistake than someone knowing the refutation and/or you lose on time because why would you play it on long time control. I was able to beat a 1960 on chess.com with it but she had the mentality of trying to play into something she knows even if it not as good for her and after a blundered my advantage, I won because she was slow on the clock. Anymore time and she would have beaten me because she has good calculating habits than I do

I played it one time and I won, because my opponent hanged Queen and Rook
