Chess Openings

Been a bit busy going through some of the dodgy sidelines in my Kings Gambit study (this one occurs in 6% of games from the main position, followed by a further 6% move a few move later so at this point it's likely entirely for my own entertainment) and found this Queen sac for a positional edge (plus a couple of Pawns material advantage) straight after winning a Queen and since it'll never see the light of day otherwise I thought I'd share.

It isn't forced as the Queen can quickly get back to d8 whilst giving up all the space and counter play but the engine prefers 15....Bxc1!! I wonder how fast the ban hammer would be if anyone of my level played this

That's cool! I play the less nuclear version of the King's Gambit with the Vienna Gambit

I play the Sicilian against e4, the Nimzo-indian against d4, and I play e4 myself.

those openings have won me over 55% of my games. Not much but having a good opening repertoire is key

good openings

Little bit of a longshot here but I'm currently looking for anything on the King's Gambit Declined: Falkbeer Accepted, Nimzowitsch-Marshall Countergambit.

Also, I'm only after details for lines that don't go either fxe5 or dxc6.

I am currently reading Antonios Pavlidis' Taimanov Sicilian book and just finished the section of the English attack. I want to share an exciting line(one of many in this variation!) which shows the beauty of the Open Sicilian and its sharp and tactical nature.
