Personally, having tried to play it myself. e5 in any serious game :) (as I S%*& with it :) Personally I usually play the Falkbeer CG in any serious game. 1.e4 e5 2.f4 ef 3.Nf3 Nf6 then usually e5 and Nh5 will be played. Whereas Evans has preferred the Berlin Defense method of acceptace with remarks, at least, to the effect that WT cannot meet it sufficiently. of course Fischer has claimed refutation by accepting with exd4 followed by. I'm not ready to write off the KG yet~! But if someone wants to try. ![]() The trap part is especially true for lower levels. There is less theory, you don't meet a kingside pawn rush kicking you king's knight, and there are bunches of fun traps for you to try out. In fact i think black is very early on already playing for the advantage. But i wouldn't recommend Nf3 simply because there is too much theory and the defences against it really doesn't leave black in any pressure. The lower you go scill-wise the less this has to say. Now i'm not saying that i disagree with you on the whole "don't get freeked out about equality" statement. And all other things being equal, the initiative means an extra tempo. which means that white still has the initiative. Given that both black and white play correctly, at the end of the opening theory things will still be status quo. But this is more of a personal preference really.Īs far as you asking me for one opening where, given that black plays correctly, he doesn't get equality there are several to choose from. This is true for both 3.d6 and d5, but i really don't like playing against d6(fischer defence). Like i stated above, i often end up with a crowded kingside. However, i would like to say that my personal experience with it is not as good. I should probably have clarified that i was speaking about why theory has moved away from the knights gambit. Like ganstaman and kaf1 say, 3.Nf3 is quite playable. There's plenty to work with the King's Gambit even from hust the third move, so go to it! (5) 3.Be2 The Lesser bishop's Gambit, played by Tartakover. The result is similar to the Keres: 4.Qh4ch 5.Ke2 d6 (or Black can try 5.d5) 6.Nf3 Bg4 7.Bxf4. However, the related Steinitz Gambit arises from the Vienna: 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4 exf4 4.d4. (4) 3.d4? I believe this leads to a forced win for Black after 3.Qh4ch. Black wipes out White's K-side infantry, but White gets very active piece play in compensation. ![]() (3) 3.Kf2 Crazy, but just playable: the King's Own Gambit, a.k.a the Tumbleweed. Capablanca once played it.It has to be admitted, though, that the move envisages a posiotional treatment of the Gambit, based on his Q-side majority. (2) 3.Qf3 No, I'm not making this up: it's the Breyer Gambit. Black usually responds with 3.Qh4 and it's all on. There are more obscure King's Gambit lines to consider: You might want to check that game out too: -> ionadowman I suggest playing it against the computer several times, then you will get the general idea of how cramped your position can become.Īnd one last thing, Bobby fischer played 3.Bc4 against a computer of his time. Just be wary of letting black hold on to the f pawn, sometimes this makes your position relly cramped. I still play the king's gambit with 3.Bc4. the queen can now travel along it's kingside diagonal because the knight is not in its way, which i believe is atleast one of the mainlines for this opening. d5 simply looses the pawn while d6 which was intended to stop the knight from jumping into e5 now no longer has any effect. d5 strikes back in the centre, and is the modern way to play against the king's gambit.ģ.Bc4 is still played by a few grandmasters mostly due to the fact that d6 and d5 doesn't work against the bishop. The move d6 is the fischer defence which removes e5 as a square for the knight to jump to after pushing the g-pawn forward. which is 3.Nf3 or 3.Bc4ģ.Nf3 is not as played anymore for several reasons, but suffice it to say that 3.d6 or d5 equalizes which is not as good for white. It is important to realise the difference between the kings's knight gambit and the king's bishop gambit. ![]()
