Hello everybody!

Today, I decided to share the vienna gambit's excellent moves.


Vienna Gambit:
This opening starts with 1. e4 e5 2. nc3 nf6 3f4, where white attacks the e5 pawn.
The gambit is also known as the closed eye gambit. This name is because that machines say vienna gambit isn't a good gambit and just say nonsense in every position, while evaluation bar shows crazy and stupid things.
Black can do 3 thing:
3. exf4 accepts the gambit and black's position or maybe material is gonna be crushed.
After this, white should play e5, making black's position completely passive as the knight has to retreat. Here is the line shown below:

Here, after black plays ng8, the we play d4, gaining a lot of space in the center and attacking the f4 pawn. Black wishes they could take their move back! Here is the complete line:

Some people after e5, play qe7. This is a BIG mistake while the opening turns into Vienna revolution.
With qe7, people try to pin the pawn and don't get passive, but this makes their position much worse. If white plays qe2, then Vienna revolution lights the way for the free advantage. Look at the line, then we will continue it together.

After this, when we play nd5, we even turn black's position more passive and centralize a knight and after black's retreating, d4 gains a big advantage in central space and is gaining the pawn back.

In this position, if black plays d6, trying to open up the position for development, then... They did a BIG mistake. here, nxc7!! and if qxc7, then exd6! forking their queen and king and if any other idea like ke7, then we capture the rook. In both position, we have a big material advantage and a much better position and a big central space. Here is the line:
and in any line of exf4, after those ideas, you shall play bxf4.
This was the exf4 ideas.
3. d6:
This line is better than exf4, but not the best. Here, we just focus on development such as nf3 and...
Lines are shown below:
Just normal developing ideas.
d5:
This is the best line, striking at the center. This line is very short as it quickly turns to middle game battle. Lines are shown below:
Just this. Thanks for reading my blog, and bye!
