Sharp play in the Wing Gambit | Standard Chess
Back after a long Standard Chess hiatus, I encounter an opponent who busts out the Wing Gambit, 1.e4 c5 2.b4!?. Though I decline the gambit, a tactical position soon ensues where my calculation left me wanting more. Weighty decisions in a heavy piece middlegame ensue!
