We are just starting up a vote chess game in the Queen's Gambit Declined Semi-Slav Botvinnik gambit line. Feel free to sign up, and join in.

Listed below is a recent Dragons Claw Counter Gambit game that I played on playchess.com. The openings moves are 1.e4 e5 2.f4 g5. See game below. Best RegardsDarthMusashi

I am currently on one of my occasional aggressive streaks. As a consequence, I've been playing gambits. Keep in mind that I'm not really familiar with any specific lines, only the basic ideas behind the openings. I'm pretty sure there's some sins in here.

Hello fellow gambiteers! Here's the game that introduced the From Gambit to the world. Enjoy. Magnus Oscar Møllerstrøm - Martin Severin Janus From (~1862). The game introducing the From Gambit, in the German magazine Schachzeitung, in the July/August 1862 issue.

Are we interested in participating in the upcoming World Cup of Chess Openings vote chess tournament? It sounds like it would mean two simultaneous vote chess games at a time control of 2 days per move, and to participate we have to decide what gambit we would like to play in advance. Are people interested? What openings would you like to try?

Hello my fellow gambiteers! I've just played my first Wheeler Gambit, not knowing what the heck I was playing. I can't find any games in the database here on Chess.com. Does anyone know of any games with this thing? Or does anyone have any experience with it? Here is my game...

I believe the wheeler gambit to be a weak gambit till a club member of mine showed me a slightly reckless but intriguing line and wanted your analysis on it. 1.e4/Nc6 2.b4/Nxb4 3.d4/d5 4.Ba3/Nc6 5.Bb5/dxe4 6.Bxc6+/bxc6 7.f3

The group Sac and Attack is holding a thematic vote chess game in the Semi-Slav Shabalov Attack. Gambit Gang members are welcome to join the group, and participate in the game if you are interested.

a new member of tyhe club im apart of is a insane gambiteer but he and me don't know any gambits to play against 1.b3 1.g3 or 1.Nc3

Just a short note letting everyone know that I've created a group called Thematic Vote Chess for admins to advertise their seeks for thematic games, and players to find out about upcoming thematic games. Feel free to sign up, and join in on the fun.

I noticed that inuyasha2019 offered to analyze members games in the notes section of this group. I'd also like to offer some analysis to members using my Rybka Fritz running Firebird 1.31. Just post the games in this thread and I'll do a blunder check in 10 mins... then I'll repost the results in a new thread for everyone to comment on. I can't promise to do them all at once but I'll get to them eventually. So send the games on over!! ~Boog

I have not played the Benko Gambit for many years...I used to play it all the time until my ubiquitous opponent got wise and started declining it. Later, I was playing Modern Benoni until I realized what an utter pain the Taimanov variation is. Recently I got serious about my play and started recording all the games I saw for analysis. My friend Rebecca started this game that looked like any other Indian defense but she ended up transposing to the Queen's Gambit (my least favorite opening). The analysis suggested the Benko Gambit! I thought, wait, once you play an early c5, you run the risk of the Taimanov variation, right? Wrong! Every move that might lead to that line was dusted. There was an answer that looks great for each move that never transposes. In fact, no Modern or Classical Benoni lines were even considered. The new lines are mutants. So I'm starting a project to build an opening book based on these suggestions. By far the most challenging of these will be the Benko Gambit Declined lines. White has two opportunities to refuse the "full gambit" and I'm hoping that if you have some good BGD games for black that you will share them with me. Likewise, I will share the new mutant Benoni lines as they arise. For example, perhaps you've heard of the Snake Benoni. If white doesn't want to play into your Benko Gambit, one of the lines they might take is: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. e3 to which the reply is suggested: 3...e6 4. d5 exd5 5. cxd5 Bd6!? which looks very much like the Snake Benoni, but isn't. Behold...the Slytherin Defense. Out of book by move 5. Likely equalizing within the next few moves. Zero risk of the Benoni Taimanov variation. Not a bad way to revive the Benko Gambit, eh?

just started a latvian gambit tourney. come on and join!
