How many gambits are there? What is the use of it?

i dot't know but were is the pusselammua

sussskkkkkkkk

A gambit is when you sacrifice a pawn and allow your opponent to take it in exchange for a lead in development.

Examples such as

Kings Gambit

Queens Gambit

Smith-Morra Gambit

There are numerous gambits and they are designed to give the player (who plays the gambit) an initiative (e.g. attacking chances or open lines). 

I've not researched this, but I wouls suspect the most popular for White are the King's and Queen's Gambit (which isn't even a Gambit because the extra pawn can't be held by black), and for black the Smith-Morra and Evans Gambit both offer lots of tricks and traps.

My favourite is the Budapest Gambit - see my blog or (my new blog)www.budapestgambit.blogspot.com for more info.

Hope this answers your question,

Evans Gambit is played by White and is very strong.

The smith-morra is also played by

Other gambit's include

White:

Dutch Gambit

Goring Gambit

Black:

Center - Counter Gambit

Albin Counter Gambit

Personally I like playing gambits I still don't know why but I do

I could name about 1000 gambits

One thing I've noticed about gambits is that there seem to be more sound gambits for White than there are for Black. Even the crazy ones like the Wing Gambit which look odd are playable.

There are some excellent counter gambits for black:

Falkbeer Counter Gambit

Nimzowitsch Counter Gambit

Philidor Counter Gambit

What is the object of playing a gambit opening? To acquire a reputation of being a dashing player at the cost of losing the game.

no. to "temporarily" give up material (usually a pawn) in order to better one's position/pressure/center advantage etc. (i used quotes because sometimes the pawn is completely given up).

I think he's just joking about that. I've heard people say that before. Besides, there's always the queen's gambit, which really isn't much of a gambit anyway if you're hung over losing a pawn or something.

One of my favorite gambits is the traxler counter attack, black gives up a ton of material for an attack. Here's an example

but i would like to know how to develop from a gambit. I've seen many gambits and tried it in many games but lost all those but I have won with  englund gambit  thrice

Someone should post the benko for black... I would but I've gotta run

maybe you should try a normal opening. i am guessing that since you dont know the use of a gambit then a gambit is to advanced for you to take advantage of. post one of your games  so i can see what you are doing in the opening and i will give you some advice.

I dont play online much cause I get timed almost all the time .will live be allright

here is a good game I played lately
