I like to play the KING´S GAMBIT lol...
THE KING'S GAMBITNamed after White's gambit on the king's side of the board after initial steps along the"Épine Dorsale". White offers up a King's Bishop's Pawn in move 2 (shown left), to (i) drawBlack away from the centre, (ii) try to open up/control the KB-file with a rook after castling, and iii)gain a lead in development.Once very popular, it is now rarely played at tournament level because White's move isconsidered too loosening (although it does lead to more exciting play).The gambit accepted (advisable) by Black enables White to play a variety of further lines (eg. the Muzio, the Quaade, theKieseritzky or the Allgaier Gambits), but also gives Black a choice of defences (for example the Abbazia, the Cozio). The gambitdeclined (playable but less popular) includes the Classical Defence and the Falkbeer Counter-Gambit.
