Fritz Englund put up the money for a thematic tournament that ran from late 1932 into 1933: every game started from the position after 1.d4 e5 2.dxe5 Nc6 3.Nf3 Qe7 4.Qd5 — the line now called the Stockholm Variation. He was a patron rather than a practitioner, and the gambit kept his name. Masters consider it dubious; club players keep it alive for the trap after 4.Bf4 Qb4+, where 6.Bc3?? Bb4! finishes with mate on c1.
