Martian Gambit Caro–Kann Defence 7. Ne6 Like the Alien Gambit, the Martian Gambit leads to an interesting and very exciting game. White plays Ne6, which is considered a blunder by Stockfish. However, in a real game, the move does pretty well. It ruins the kingside, doubles Black's pawns, and what is most important, helps the knight on f3 to deploy on e5 and control king's escape squares. But don't fret, Black has various responses to this gambit.
