ok

Thanks for all the computer analysis. Thanks for answering my questions!
the double muzio is fun alright, always make sure to look at your opponents face when you play this though.
most people who play will just look at you strange, like this can't be good, or they may do one of those like WTF looks at the board
ok cool
What is the double muzio?
insanity on the board

The Double Muzio probably (maybe definitely) isn't sound, but proving it isn't so easy. I suspect at a high level, it would score quite low, but at an intermediate level it's one of the most fun openings for White (if Black will cooperate and allow for it).
I had done a series on the Muzio and part three dealt with the Double or Wild Muzio which may or may not be of interest.
IM pfren
3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4?! (4.h4!) Bg7!.
End of fun, start of grief for white.

Provide Black does not know the King's Gambit Declined, particularly 1.e4 e5 2.f4 Bc5, then I would be happy to play the White side. I always meet the KG with 2...Bc5, and have an easy time.
odd cause I tend to do pretty well against that variation of the KGD, others not so much

Wich defences are conciderd the best for black in the King´s Gambit? How does Fischers Defence do nowadays and wich defence does KG players here see most of?
I see some wierd stuff against my bishop's gambit, and even wierder stuff if they don't accept, like Nh6, a6,f6,d6,Na6 and other stuff like that. on both moves two and three.

if you accept kings gambit you die.
not always, it is just the position becomes a minefield of tactics.
I am not sure of thee name. Kieseritsky Gambit maybe? But Black accepts the gambit (wich seems best to me) 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.h6 g4 5.Ne5 and here comes diffrent moves, d6 for example. Giving back the pawn but makes it hard for white to castle. Seems good for black, atleast it is very complicated.
I like to play the Kings Gambit and I´m starting to get harder resistance so I am interested in wich lines are good for black.
I thought you said the KG looses for white, now you advocate complete avoidance, sounding a bit hipocritical arn't we.
anyway, I think that g5 is blacks best shot against Nf3 against Bc4 just play Nf6 and your game will be fine, also if anyone wants to play a CC game against me I am fine with that, just make it unrated. and I will give a return game with me as black (or white, whichever is the oposite of the first game) and those moves are for accepting the gambit, never decline it.
The parham is fairly easy to defend against if you are not confused, which I got confused because people rarely play it against me out of respect for my sanity.
The KG on the other hand has some 500 years proving its soundness, and toss in a WIN vs. KASPAROV, arguably the best player ever. and Wins by Morphy, FISCHER (who you claim thought the KG lost, he didn't thats why he played it), SPASSKY (who had beautiful wins against FISCHER, and other notable players of the era). all you have on your side is the confusion factor, and a player who would loose to all of my above sorces (and Morphy would probably do it with a Knight handicap) so I am sticking with history and the Greatest players ever, a hundred years from now no one will remember Naka, they will remember FISCHER, SPASSKY, KASPAROV, MORPHY, and the most recent practitioner of the most historic opening ever, CARLSEN.

true that at the end. unless naka goes for the title, which i doubt, he will be remembered like tarrasch or one of those guys... a side not in histroy when compared to the greats
