Hello everybody and welcome to this New series of chess Gambits and Openings ! Today , i want to share with you one of my favourite chess gambits : 

The Danish Gambit :    

  • Perfect for aggressive players 
  • tricky, and allowes the white pieces to take control all over the center 
  • massive destruction and dominance 
  • works pretty well for club-level players 
  • one of the strongest openings as white , but it's rarely played , your oponent may be not prepared 
  • strategically superior position by taking risks . 

so let's dive into it ! : 

the danish gambit starts with 1.e4 e5 2.d4 

 even for now the position is not very common 

, after 2.d4  they take exd4  and we go 3.c3 sacrificing another pawn but don't worry , it's all worth it ! 
 we can start creating our strong bishop setup : 
as you can see we have an amazing positional advantage , 
  • menacing bishops
  • the queen can move anywhere 
  • we can castle if we just move the knight 
  • center pawn
  • our knights and rooks can easily be put in a good position too 
  •  black is literally in his starting position 
  • and we have lots of space 

after that black has 2 main attacks that are known to be the most common ones : 

 the bishop attacks the king , we protect it with our knight and if they trade we take back with the bishop and it's a good trade for us since we're still dominating with the bishops but : if they don't take and move other pieces like the knight , just keep attacking !

however , they can still use the knight to attack the center  , just attack it using the  pawn .

and that's it for the Danish gambit ! , there is still other variations , but i showed you guys the most common ones .
