😮 Unknown Gambits 😮 | Checkmate tricks
Hello Followers,
Today we are going to learn about some Piece Gambits. Just try these Gambits and games and I am sure 85% of your matches which you tried my previous Gambits would be Victory, If it was pls comment on that too. Let's begin with the....
Queen's Gambit
The Queen's Gambit is the chess opening that starts with the moves:
- 1. d4 d5
- 2. c4
It is one of the oldest openings and is still commonly played today. It is traditionally described as a gambit because White appears to sacrifice the c-pawn; however, this could be considered a misnomer as Black cannot retain the pawn without incurring a disadvantage.
- Queen Gambit accepted
The Queen's Gambit Accepted is the third most popular option on Black's second move, after 2...e6 (the Queen's Gambit Declined) and 2...c6 (the Slav Defense).
The Queen's Gambit is not considered a true gambit, in contrast to the King's Gambit, because the pawn is either regained, or can only be held unprofitably by Black. Black usually allows the pawn to be recaptured, and uses the time expended to play against White's center.
Bishops Gambit
The Bishop's Opening is a chess opening that begins with the moves:
- 1. e4 e5
- 2. Bc4
White attacks Black's f7-square and prevents Black from advancing his d-pawn to d5. By ignoring the beginner's maxim "develop knights before bishops", White leaves his f-pawn unblocked, preserving the possibility of f2–f4.
The f2–f4 push gives the Bishop's Opening an affinity with the King's Gambit and the Vienna Game, two openings that share this characteristic. The Bishop's Opening can transpose into either of these openings, and in particular a favorable variation of the King's Gambit, but with care Black can circumvent this.
The King's Gambit is a chess opening that begins with the moves:
- 1. e4 e5
- 2. f4
White offers a pawn to divert the black e-pawn. If Black accepts the gambit, White has two main plans. The first is to play d4 and Bxf4, regaining the gambit pawn with central domination. The alternative plan is to play Nf3 and Bc4 followed by 0-0, when the semi-open f-file created after a pawn push to g3 allows White to attack the weakest point in Black's position, the pawn on f7. Theory has shown that, in order to maintain the gambit pawn, Black may well be forced to weaken the kingside with moves such as ...g5 or odd piece placement (e.g. ...Nf6–h5). A downside to the King's Gambit is that White weakens their own king's position, exposing it to the latent threat of ...Qh4+ (or ...Be7–h4+). With a black pawn on f4, White cannot usually respond to the check with g3, but if the king is forced to move then it also loses the right to castle.
- H-file Mate
A fairly common attacking method in chess is to destroy the pawn shield in front of an enemy king (often with a sacrifice). Various other checkmate patterns can become possible as a result of the open h-file.
Arabian Mate
The Arabian Mate is a checkmate pattern that features the unique abilities of a knight (horse) with the help of a rook:
Hook Mate
The Hook Mate is a very useful and instructive checkmate pattern that demonstrates optimal coordination between a rook and knight. The pattern is named after it’s visual appearance that resemble a hook:
