I know a lot of you here say the Queen's Gambit isn't really a gambit. Well, gambit or not, you can have some really fun games with it. The following are three games I have recently played in live chess. They are three of the wildest QG games I have ever played. The QG and the games that can arise from it are just two reasons why I love 1. d4.
Ever had one of those games where you opened up your king position and got into a cool setup and pulled out a win? Here is a game where exactly that happened.
Why not top it all off with a game where you outsmart yourself? Ever had one of those games where you got ahead of yourself and lost the game as a result? Here is a classic "outsmarted yourself" game.
And that, fellow gambiteers, concludes this little article on how the Queen's Gambit can lead to wild play and how you can shoot yourself in the head by overlooking a simple threat. Farewell.

Here is the first game. My opponent dropped a lot of material in this game, and I was able to overwhelm him.
