Help and fast too please :P

Give me something against English, gambit like or something unconventional but strong. I am playing that tommorow on the beach, I have an appoinment. There will be audience of my friends too. And I know my opponent is good in English opening. He do not want to transpose to Queen Pawn game so that is off.

Gambit is welcome !


EDIT: we will play 5 0 games. So the element of surprise is more than welcome.

e5 and f5, followed by Nf6. That really troubles me a lot, and they result in very different positions than "normal" english.

Here's one I played at FICS last night:

Something like Game 1158555 can't be all bad. Game 1157489 is another example from the same black player.

You have played over 600 games on here so must
have some experience - play your own game and let
him worry about you.

(When choosing colours have two Black pawns behind your back
that way you will have White all the time).

OK. You can follow the above advice with e5 and f5 but I bet
you he has more experience with it than you will muster in
one night.

Get a good nights sleep and simply outplay him in the middle game.
Think positive, Are they blitz games?

5 minute games...

Depends a lot on what you play with 1.d4 as Black.

I like the first poster quite like the system with 1..e5 and with a later ...f5. (From Gambiteer II)

Here is a one of my games against a very good player.

A reverse grand prix attack can work well.

1.c4 e5
2.Nc3 Nc6
3.Nf3 f5


and black can work on building up a kingside attack.

Anything can happen in a blitz game - 1.c4 b5 and play it like
a wing gambit in reverse if you want a gambit.

Or just play a KID set-up

But my real advice is not too worry about it.

1...g5, gambit a pawn for some initiative and play it like you mean it.
