The icbm gambit only works if you ropponent pushes the h7 pawn to h6 and if the y don't do that you are just left with a bad position so it is risky and even if you alighn it so you just sakc ur bishop you r opponent could trade queens and you lose you castling rights so it is kinda trash and way too aggressive.
To someone who plays the Center Counter Defense ... the routine Bf5 checks this... Black develops and White ends up swinging at air.
In fact... the same idea checks another suspect Gambit ..... this time as White.
i.e. The Englund Gambit
Normally, I keep quiet on opening choices, believing most are valid because few of us are going to be professionals and have to play to put food on the the table. But ... These are not openings, but traps and once your opponent learns where to put his/her pieces these traps unravel and your left with a bad position. (Not an equal position say as in something like the Colle or London where Black has equalized... but a bad position with a minus 1.0 or worse. Same goes for the BDG or the From's Gambit.
I played the ICBM Gambit against the Caro-Kann. Thoughts?

5...Nd7, and white may equalize with some luck.

Wrong, tennison gambit is simply E4 D5 NF3
The ICBM is not the same as the tennison
Who cares? Both are junk.
CARRO KAN VERSION
It's kind of good but it needs perfect execution
