White starts the game with 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3...[Shown Below] On the 3rd move 3. f4 is a gambit in which white sacrifices a pawn to gain bold control over the center of the board. The original idea behind the Vienna Game was to play a delayed King's Gambit with f4 (the Vienna Gambit) [Here Is A Example Of The Vienna Gambit] - For More Info.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVxENCPcCjU London System (White) The London System's Setup This opening's main idea is to create a solid pawn structure in the center by pushing pawns to c3 and e3, but only after developing the dark-squared bishop outside the pawn chain. Despite the solidness, the London also have aggressive lines to catch Black off guard.[Here Is A Example Of The London System]

I thought I played really well this game. thought I'd share it with you guys

Hello, 29/10/2021 The Queen's Gambit if you don't know, gambits the c4 pawn (Shown in the Opening Example) and in return taking the center (gaining advantage while trying to win a pawn back) if the opponent takes the c4 pawn. It is similar to King's Gambit, but it starts with the Queen's side with d4, c4 and continue to develop. Opening Example This is just an example, you can move it with a different order, but it is Queen's Gambit as long as you gambit the c4 pawn. The Queen's Gambit Trap #1 This trap can only be done if your opponent takes the c4 pawn, turning it into (QGA). Although black looks fine and developed, you are a +1 horse. Queen’s Gambit is divided into two main categories based on Black’s response: Queen’s Gambit Accepted (QGA) and Queen’s Gambit Declined (QGD). After 1.d4 d5 2.c4 :> 2...e6 (Queen's Gambit Declined or QGD). This is the main line, with many variations. 1. d4 d52. c4 e6 > 2...dxc4 (Queen's Gambit Accepted or QGA). Less popular than the Queen's Gambit Declined, it nevertheless has a solid reputation. 1. d4 d52. c4 dxc4 > 2...c6 (Slav Defense). This is a solid response, although many variations are very tactical. If Black plays both ...c6 and ...e6 (in either order), the opening takes characteristics of both the Slav and the Orthodox Defense and is classified as a Semi-Slav Defense. 1. d4 d52. c4 c6 > 2...e5 (Albin Countergambit). A sharp attempt by Black to gain the initiative. It is uncommon in top-level chess but can be a dangerous weapon in club play. 1. d4 d52. c4 e5 > 2...Nc6 (Chigorin Defense). The Chigorin Defense takes the game away from the normal positional channels of the QGD and has been favored by Alexander Morozevich at the top level; it appears to be playable for Black. 1. d4 d52. c4 c6 > 2...Bf5!? (Baltic Defense). An offbeat but playable line. 1. d4 d52. c4 f5 > 2...c5 (Symmetrical Defense). This is rarely played; although it has not been definitely refuted, the play seems to favor White. 1. d4 d52. c4 c5 > 2...Nf6?! (Marshall Defense). Named after Frank Marshall, who first devised the move, he briefly played it in the 1920s before abandoning it. 1. d4 d5 2. c4 f6 > 2...g6?! (Alekhine idea). 1. d4 d5 2. c4 g6Hope you learned a little theory about the Queen's Gambit! Thank you for your time, bye bye.GodspeedMas
