Cannot find a site with some explanation on this opening 🙁 HELP!
A book would be good too if you happen to know one 🙂

Try Rogozenko's Anti-Sicilians. It's written from the perspective of Black, but the SWG has a chapter to itself.

i've never played it, but I'm sure its a great off-beat line to play... I think I will start playing it actually!

hope those links help.

Yeah I saw that on chessville too but it's 1.e4,c5 2.a3 instead of 2.b4 allthough it may transpose to the wing gambit later.
It's strange how there is so little to be found about the wing gambit.I dunno,maybe it's a sign telling me 2.b4 sucks and I should play 2.a3 instead 😛
