Like in this freshly played game: https://lichess.org/PDZoXjYnmQah Here the enemy had to part with his queen on move 8, and got in return only two light pieces. And I got the invested pawn back, plus one pawn interest, so I was 4 points ahead. He still had 4 light pieces and two castles, so there was a lot of play left for him, and I had to proceed with extreme caution. But simply exchanging everything I could exchange worked very well, and victory was mine. HalleluJah!!

Bs"d

I tried the Budapest gambit quite a few times, but it just doesn't happen often enough. So I switched back to the Englund gambit, prepared to deal with the rotten positions if the enemy doesn't fall for the trap, but lo and behold, the first time I tried, the enemy did fall for the trap: https://lichess.org/4fjRvNI81RFv
The enemy was an 1876, not exactly a grandmaster, but far from a novice. And he fell for the trap.
He didn't take the shortest route, the one of the mate in 8 moves, but he had to part with a horse and a pawn in the opening anyway. So even though I started my very first move by giving him a free pawn, I ended up with a pawn more than him, and a horse to boot.
He reacted in weird way to my attack, and I had to win his horse in weird way, by me sacrificing my queen, and winning his queen two moves later, by means of horse fork. And then later I made yet another horse fork, on move 12, and then the enemy surrendered.

Those are the games I like. :D
