This is my third game where I ever played the Kings Gambit, it was a live chess game with 10min time contol, and I dont remember how many of those extra seconds. Tell me what you think



I know my oponent didn't play the best opening line against the Kings gambit, and I probably played the opening incorrectly since I haven't studied the Kings Gambit, but I thought it was thrilling game! it looks like the king's Gambit and I will get along just fine :)

i use it pretty regularly, but you did everything right. the biggest mistake is when you dont move nf3, but you did, then you brought out your pieces quickly, that is what its for.

good game and i can see your opponent had no clue of what he should do.

about the second sacrifice im unsure it destroys a part of his defence tough

I think 12.Rad1   or 12.c4 intending 13.e5 (blacks knight no longer has d5 to jump to) are both far better than Bxh6

I dont think so, I like Bxh6. But I think after Bxh6 e5 would have been strong because if the knight moves then Qe4 would be killer

Just wanted to add that your second sacrifice reminded me of something I read in Znosko-Borovsky's The Art of Chess Combination:

"One must resist the temptation to be brilliant beyond reason"

It's an excellent piece of advice but I admit that it's very easy to forget it when you're in the heat of the action. 


Thats so true!! Laughing now that I look at it, my second sacrifice doesn't seem necessary. And may even be losing if my opponent played better
