In this video, I explore the hidden beauties of the Lucchini Gambit. This dubious, but aggressive opening variation was completely new for me and brought to my attention by twitch subscriber gmdillusion. As you'll see in this video, I delve into some of the mainlines and discover some fascinating traps and ideas. This gambit is incredibly rare at master level play, so I think it has great potential as a surprise weapon. Here is the lichess study where viewers can explore the lines further:
