The King's Gambit is a chess opening that begins:

1. e4 e5
2. f4
White offers a pawn to divert the Black e-pawn and build a stronger center with d2-d4. Theory has shown that in order for Black to maintain the one pawn advantage, moves must be made that seriously weaken the position of the Black pieces. King's Gambit is one of the oldest documented openings as it was examined by the 17th century Italian chess player Giulio Polerio.[1] It is in an older book by Luis Ramirez de Lucena [2] The King's Gambit is now rarely seen at the master level. Black can obtain a reasonable position by relinquishing the extra pawn at a later time and consolidating defensively.  The King's gambit may either be accepted (black takes the f pawn) or declined

nice!

c'mon this is the 1.d4 group. What does that have to do 1.d4?

When are we going to have Vote chess?

 hmm you know, this group is about 1.d4 and not about 1.e4

you are in the wrong group I am sorry

 jubilousfire 

is just trying to be an A-Hole, so delete his post.  Apparently he doesn't really read English. 

     He should join the Gambit Gang Group where Gonnosuke will teach him more about the King's Gambit and Halloween Gambit than he ever wanted to know.

  1.d4 creates more positional structures for a reason.  It is Black who must be the gambiteer.  If he had wanted to fill us in on the Albin Counter Gambit or The Budapest Gambit he could add some intelligence to the discussion.  It seems that is something he lacks.   If he read my comment about the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit he would be in the ball park. That is White's only true Gambit in the Queenside Openings (somewhat akin to the Staunton Gambit against the Dutch Defense).  

    The King's Gambit has absolutely no place in this group, or this discussion.  In my opinion, the Indians are quite adept at minding other peoples' business, rather than their own.
