In terms of asking for refutations what I play against the Göring is the fully accepted followed by bishop check. In that line black has time to castle safely and enjoy being two pawns up. It’s also the reason I decided to play the Scotch gambit instead of the Göring as the Scotch Gambit is just as deadly whilst still being an even game if black knows theory. If you had some interesting ideas for white in that line I might be persuaded to change?
Against the Goring, I recommend playing the two knights defense. Watch out for Ne5, Ng5 and Ba3 - these should be on your radar at all times. Very often you'll want to maneuver your king's knight over to c5 with your other knight on c6.
That is the best refutation, which is why i get away with so many Gøring gambits even at an intermediate level. That was fun Ben i was so glad to see you getting the chance to show of your knowledge. hanks mate.

Perhaps we should set up a "Beat my Göring" tournament one day, maybe over the holidays!
I'm down for that if anyone else is.

Sorry mate, what's the best refutation? d5 after taking the first pawn?
@ yes as you said d5 after taking the first pawn which is only equal is the best refutation, sorry that was not clear
9:06 I literally said, Ben's turning into Hikaru. And then you said 2 seconds later I'm not Hikaru haha.
That's funny.
