This gambit is a part of my repertoire because I want to get better at wild, tactical positions.

The Anti-Moscow Gambit is an absolutely mad opening. White gives up the c4 pawn, but gets a great center, easier development, a lead in development since black's pieces are all stuck on the back rank, and generall a much easier position to play. And black gets a pawn and has to find a way to try and develop and stop white's attack without giving it back.

I don't really enjoy gambits in chess, neither when I give up a pawn, nor when I'm the one winning the extra material. The reason is simple - I prefer calmer positions which revolve around strategy and positional ideas! That is exactly why I'm forcing myself to play those that are the complete opposite.
