Due to the limited performance of chess.com, I cannot show the next two moves, simply all I can say is that this is followed by Kxf7!! Bxf7?

 

This is the brilliance of the King's Gambit. By sacrificing his king, Black has obtained infinitely superior development and a much better pawn structure. In addition, his material lead will prove vital to achieving a winning endgame.

You're certainly right, Black has a superior advantage.

The king could only move one square in any direction anyway. Who needs it?

i have no idea what you are talking about, the king cannot capture back because the bishop on c4 is protecting the queen. there is no continueation or "limited ability" of the chess.com pgn viewer. this position is checkmate, white wins,and Bc5 is a blunder because the queen hasd a mate in one.

have knowladge of what you are talking about before you post

Foreverzero, maybe that is how you play chess in, how do you say it, "amerika", but here, the king only becomes useful in the endgame.

You bring shame to all Americans everywhere. I am honestly surprised at your lack of ability to take a joke. Stick to eating cheese burgers. (Another joke since you are too oblivious to them)

Wow. I'm surprised more GMs haven't noticed this line. What spectacular play by Black! Sacrificing the king is something many top players are just too afraid to do. It makes me happy to hear that some brave new soul has enough energy and zeal for the game to play in this way. Heck, even Mikhail Tal never sacrificed his king like that!

This joke does not make me lol.  It was cheesy and played on my adventurous spirit to discover a new line in chess.  Blast my spirit!  If only I had known it was a joke before clicking... I would not have clicked.  Also, Jaguarphd is a fool to pile on a fellow American.  I swear this self-hating and anti-Americanism from Americans is getting old.

Oh, come on. Let us have our fun. Tongue out

Reb is just jealous of American ingenuity.

This joke is overly geeky. So much so that it invalidates any salvagable punchline. I would not even classify this as inside chess humor as it is so stale. I'll be surprised if more than 5% percent of viewers even smile at this crap. No offense. And what's with the "stick to eating cheeseburgers" line? I eat McDonald's cheeseburgers for breaskfast, lunch, and dinner and I'm much more sophisticated than you, you sniveling pseudo-intellect.

what a gambit, white will lose his most valuable piece for a king... white has really screwed himself here

Avatar of diemking

haha play on words

"king's gambit"

when i was starting out i also thought the gambit was weird since it supposedly gambits a king

Avatar of kenmack

Yeah, you like cheeseburgers jaguarphd?  How about cars, planes, computers, the internet, nuclear power, space travel, capitalism, freedom and hot, lusty women?  Because Americans invented those too.
