Face the Stafford Gambit as White and turn Black's initiative into an extra pawn. The core recipe is calm and concrete: defend e4 with d3, stop ...Ng4 with Be2, and play c3-d4 before the c5-bishop and queen create threats around f2.
Eight checked lines, four defensive models and four punishments. Learn why d3, Be2, and c3 defuse Black's attack and why natural moves such as Bg5 fail.
