    • A Danish miniature

      Another Danish!  I don't really get to play it that often, as I'm usually faced with a Sicilian defense.  My last two opponents have blundered right into checkmate...  In this game, my opponent is going to have to lose material to prevent the m... | Read More

    • Danish Gambit! (again)

      This game is from a live session I just played.  I love hitting someone with the Danish, I can just imagine them thinking "WTF" as I give the pawns up.  At this level, they probably just assume I'm a clown. My opponent put up a nice fight, and ... | Read More

    • Fantastic gambit with black by Madhatter

      Ran across this game that Madhatter posted in the Game Showcase forum. LINK  It's kind of a Danish Gambit for black.  Brilliant stuff! Maybe we have a new Paul Morphy on the rise?  | Read More

    • Danish gambit

      Been playing a lot of the Danish gambit when I have the opportunity lately.  This opening is a lot of fun - in the accepted variation, white gives up two pawn in exchange for developing two bishops aimed squarely at the opponent's kingside. Here... | Read More
