Hello once again, Welcome to Most Aggressive Chess Openings You Must Know!! We must be familiar with our openings and so you must know the best and successful openings of all time. Hope you too succeed !!

Albin Counter-Gambit

The Albin Counter-Gambit is a hyper-aggressive defense for black against the ever so popular queens' gambit from white. Black gives up his pawn on e5 so that his d pawn can be nicely placed on d4. This pawn is a huge thorn in the side of white and there are many traps that come from the Albin Counter-Gambit that white has to be on the lookout for. One of the most common traps in the Albin Counter-Gambit is the Lasker Trap which punishes white if he tries to attack the 

The Belgrade Gampawn on d4 with e3.

This opening will immediately take a queens gambit player out of his element and gives black many fighting chances. If you are a very aggressive player, especially with black, then you definitely need to learn this opening. For all those queen’s gambit players, this is also good to know as your opponent may throw this at you at any time.

Belgrade Gambit

The Belgrade Gambit is an aggressive line that derives from the Scotch Four Knights Game:

1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Nc3 Nf6
4. d4 exd4
5. Nd5

White’s most common move after 4…exd4 is to recapture with 5. Nxd4 but Nd5 allows white to transition into the Belgrade Gambit. As with many less known gambits, the Belgrade gets much of its advantage from your opponent not being familiar with how to play correctly as black. The good thing about this variation is that if you play 1. e4 2. Nf3 you’ll get many opportunities to try this out as it’s fairly easy to transition into a four knights game.

Benko Gambit

The Benko Gambit is one of the most well-respected gambits in chess. For this reason, it is one of the main lines stemming from the Benoni Defense.

White can either accept the gambit or decline this gambit with Nf3. Although some players may prefer to decline the gambit if they are unfamiliar you will almost always see white accept with cxb5.

Black’s entire goal is to give up a pawn early on to give himself a big advantage on the queenside. Black will continue to try to give white another pawn with a6. Many players don’t mind playing down a pawn as black because of the great attacking lines that stem from the queenside attack in the Benko gambit.

If you play as white in the Benko Gambit and you don’t want to get into the mainline, defending your queenside all game, it is common practice to give back the pawn material advantage and focus on building up your central control.

This opening is not for the faint of heart. It’s a very aggressive opening and should be played accordingly.

The Blackmar-Diemer Gambit is one of the most ambitious attempts for white to gain a developmental advantage.

From the second move white looks to give away his king’s pawn. Although many top GM’s find this to be unsound, many club level players have great success with it and if you are a very aggressive player I recommend playing it from time to time.

After white gives gambit’s his pawn he then looks to develop his knight to c3, followed by playing f3. This move only shows that those players attempting to play this opening like to play outside standard theory. After black captures on f3, white can either capture with his knight or can instead play the aggressive line (Ryder Gambit) and capture with his queen, thus allowing the black queen to take an additional white pawn on d4.

It is also very important to remember that this opening can be transposed from other openings. One of the most common lines is white opening with e4 and black responding with the Scandinavian Defense d5. If you don’t like playing against the Scandinavian Defense you can now play d4 and you will have the same position.

This opening is very fun for those players that don’t mind giving up a pawn or two in the early part of a game in exchange for a large lead in development and the potential to chase the opponents' king around the board all game long. If you however only like to play when you are up in material this is not the opening for you.

Calabrese Countergambit

The Italian Game is white’s effort to quickly develop his light square bishop and dominate the center of the board. The Calabrese Countergambit is black’s way of giving up his f-pawn to completely thwart all of White's game plan. The more aggressive white tries to be in the opening the more potential traps he can fall into.

Black usually ends up with a very strong center while White's pieces struggle to find great squares to develop. White must play very precise or he can easily find himself in a lot of trouble.

If you like to attack as the black pieces then the Calabrese Countergambit is definitely something you should try out

English Opening

The English opening is the 4th most common opening for white. Although the English has its own style, the opening is very flexible and many times transposes into other opening lines. The objective of the opening is to apply pressure on the center d5 square without committing the queen pawn or the king pawn. Since the move is a flank move many players like the English because of its hypermodern style of play (using pieces from the sides along with minor pieces to apply pressure and control the center).

White’s 2nd move depends on Black's response. If black does not immediately try to control the center white can fianchetto his bishop with 2. g3 3. Bg2 and white starts to apply even more pressure on the d5 square and gives white the control over the light squares. Many English games will start out very slow as both sides build up pressure around the center.

The good thing about the English is that you can be very versatile. With all the different openings that you can transpose into, the English can be used against any opponent as you can change your game plan early on. If you like slow methodical games and like to be flexible this is a great opening to use.

The bad thing about the English is there are many traps that exist to defend the English. As with any opening, you should be aware of the traps that you might encounter.
