Introduction

This is the one of the few openings that completely distinguishes itself from other gambits. This is a gambit, Theoretically incorrect,but practically lethal.

And Believe me,When I say 'lethal', I MEAN IT.

So,which is this opening, so strong,so mysterious,you ask. I say:

"The King's Gambit"


How to reach opening?

So,How do you get to this opening?

It's actually very simple. You play e4-e5 and then the killer gambit move,f5.


 

Note:If Black declines, play Nf3 and develop as usual.


Mandatory move

So,Next you have to bring your knight to f3 as the immediate threat is Qh4+.

 


Most common variation

Then,the most common move is g5, defending the pawn, in case we attack it.

Note:If black plays other openings,develop as usual, you will have nice central space,and if you manage to clear the f-file, you can use that file for your rook to attack your opponent's kingside.

Okay,anyway here is the g5 move:


Variation Theory Part


Things to remember while playing this opening:

  • This is a gambit and you need to play aggressively.
  • Do not be afraid to sacrifice a few pawns later in the game to attack.
  • The objective is  to castle and use the f-file for an attack on your opponent's kingside.
  • Also try to occupy the center by pushing d4 and attack the f4 pawn.


How to play as black:

The best way to deal with this gambit is the Fischer's Defence.

4. d4
4.Bc4

Things you need to remember while playing this opening as black:

  • Maintain pressure on the white's kingside.
  • Don't let white occupy too much center.
  • Castle Queenside.
  • After castling queenside,you can attack white with your entire army.
