Opening Repertoire - Danish Gambit

Hey chess friends. its been quite some time since the last post in this series,

now I have come with the next one in the series.

The Danish Gambit - one of the most effective and attacking blitz/bullet openings.

The basic concept is simple with white sacrificing a couple of pawns in order to get an aggressive position.

See below - 

Now, this is when the fun begins, two bishops eyeing the kingside for a to-become feast.

Now, lets check out the part everyone loves - 

Trap 1 -

There we go. Their kingside is just ready to be routed. No kingside knight for him, a queen ready to swallow his kingside and a fianchettoed bishop. Quite decent!

Another thing to keep in mind when playing this opening is to be aggressive on every move, even one passive move could lose your advantage.

Trap 2 -

And there goes their queen, a quick and easy trap, but very rare for it to happen.

Trap 3 -

Check both these cases as the latter is more likely to happen. A decent one as your missiles trouble the opponent king getting him to lose his queen.

How black should respond -

This is when you probably should not try doing the above trap as black has a nasty discovered attack being sent your way.

Now for the last trap, but definitely another beauty -

So there you go, a beauty of a checkmate with two ways to finish the game.

So those are the traps! Even if you don't manage to play it out in a game, it is good to try if you're around or below 1600. Hope it helped. If it did help, share it with your friends. 

Peace out!
