Or just play Nf3 instead of taking e5

You would be down on development and you're WHITE! You lose the advantage of going first. Black would begin to develop pieces first.

this opening is really cool in the Bullet games just makes the position looks crazy and complicated which could help you win on time :DD

I've played this opening on bullet chess once but it didn't go well, for me. I think that it is effective for those who can play it effectively.

If I were you, I'd be a little less certain that I have all the answers.

When you go over a game where black won because of zugzwang in the endgame would you still call white going first an advantage?

Umm, the ruy Lopez is one of the best moves.. And you don't need to castle, you can save your bishop

Well, I stated that there would be less development. So? If you want to add to that or actually attack the argument itself, do so. But don't atack the actual person.

I would prefer the queens gambit to the king's gambit. Most players prefer to castle king's side.

Another one I posted n the Queen's Gambit. I LOVE the Queen's gambit. It doesn't open the king as much and most players don't castle queen's side anyway...

You give 3. fxe5 (a beginner's move) instead of 3. Nf3 (the correct move) because of some wishy-washy development condideration.

Time to get real, calculation of concrete variations always trumps vague concepts.

The way you tell it, you'd rather be a Rook down than one move behind on development.

Why post if you are not open to new ideas, proffered by much stronger players?

Calculation of concrete variations works because the quiet positions at the end of the forcing variations conform to said vague concepts (d-file control, exploitable weaknesses gained if attacking or weaknesses consolidated if defending, bishop vs. knight in a pawns on both sides ending, etc.)

Pedal your nonsense elsewhere, thank you.

@seayun: congratulations, with your argument you've just refuted 1.d4 as obsolete!

Is there some way for White to regain the advantage, by giving up a whole Rook for nothing?

It is called the King's Gambit, not the King's Grab e5 Pawn Opening.

Erm ... seayun, how is developing a knight any worse for development than playing a pawn capture?! You seem a little confused ...

Play 2...d5, the Falkbeer Counter Gambit.  It has an astoundingly good score for Black.

The FCG is the best way to decline the KG. I was told this a long time ago by the "master" who taught me to play good chess. I later found out the master was just a mister but he was right about the Falkbeer.
