This blog was written recently here on Chess.com. It is a basic/small intro to the Scotch. Does anyone else on here use the Scotch Gambit frequently?

A couple of gambits from the recent tournament in Seville Spain. The first is a Benko and the second a Budapest.

The opening is named after the Russian chess master Benjamin Blumenfeld, and was later played by World Chess ChampionAlexander Alekhine.
The opening position can also be reached via Benko Gambit (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 b5 4.Nf3 e6). Possible continuations are 5.dxe6 (Kan-Goldenov, 1946), 5.Bg5 (Vaganian-K. Grigorian, 1971), 5.e4, or 5.a4 (Rubinstein-Spielmann, 1922).[1]
Here are some games from recent tournaments. I've never heard of this gambit before. So if its new to you, its new to me as well.

This is a quick kill by our very own Dulgan in the 1st Bird's opening tournament. Some analysis by Fritz/Rybka.

I enjoyed this Elephant Gambit from our very own Kawaii. Can someone post the actual game in here. I can't pull the PGN on this computer. The game is here:

I have challenged The Sicilian Superstars to a thematic tournament. The preset moves are 1.e4 c5 (Sicilian). I'm sure they will accept the challenge. When they do accept lets throw out our best gambits and show them some positions they've never seen!

OK , so i play this opening everytime i face e6 after e4. Especially OTB it gets great results, most players dont know what to do against it, and you (as white) are pretty much certain to have the initiative until move 20 or longer. Here are some sample lines that have occured a lot in my games OTB.

Here is a great line in the caro advance variation.... I am telling you the truth when i say that i have managed to play this e6 pawn sac in as many as 15 OTB games, lots of people have never seen it, and after e6 white should win!
