Knight's Gambit

The king now cant castle and is in the open while also opening a diagonal for future checks, and it also cost just a single knight, because the king takes the knight the d4 pawn can be defended on the next move.

If the king doesnt take and moves the queen, you win a rook anyway even though the gambit is declined

Or if they are -1000 elo and goes "ooga booga i take d4 pawn" take their queen, show them no mercy.(jk)

I have made up another opening before but this is no doubt 90% way better, if they take the knight they can't castle anymore, if they don't take then they look dumb because this is also a fork

Also according to google the earliest castle is 4 moves

Which erases 1 goal of the gambit that is to make your opponent unable to castle

But again, who would play like the black side?:

And still after that you are up 6 points of material

If you think this is good, play the jerome gambit. The accepted variation of the gambit is bad for white. Black can always manually castle (Rf8, Kg8)

Philidor defence: Morphy gambit, pawn sacrifice deferred.

If your opponent is greedy and plays c5, you can pull this tactical storm out. The positions are only -0,2 so it is sound

Sicilian Defense: Grob-Keres Gambit

The idea is to sacrifice a pawn for your opponent's king to be very unsafe, at the cost of you never being able to castle kingside (although that isn't the idea in the Sicilian as white anyway)

Basically the Scotch Game: Göring Gambit, Double Pawn Sacrifice Variation, but it’s in the Sicilian

I really like those first few moves (and will actually try them out as black), but g4 is problematic. While accepting works out for white, the queen can defend with check for a tempo. If the bishop blocks, the queen can go to b6 to threaten the pawn while keeping defence, and waiting to snag the hanging pawn eventually.

This is one of my unorthodox gambits, so I understand that it probably isn't the best. I wouldn't try this in a serious game.

Nimzo-Indian Defence: Monkey Gambit

-

This is a Gibbon Gambit but in a Nimzo-Indian, making the future open g-file (if the gambit is accepted) more useful as in a Grunfeld, the pawn at g6 blocks the open file, and if Black ever plays g6, they will suffer from dark-squared weaknesses.

Stockfish's evaluation is at -0.48, making it of similar quality to the Devin Gambit (1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. g4), which is evaluated at -0.53.

Mieses opening: Reversed rat variation: Mongolian semi-gambit

This gambit tries to gain a development lead or gain space and castle early in the game. The semi-gambit gets a better center control in the declined, accepted OR the other variation. It starts like 1. d3 e5 2. f4 and there are three variations accepted (2... exf4 3. Bxf4), declined (2...d6), and the semi-counter gambit (2... d5 3. fxe5)

There are many different kinds of variations in the opening and you might find a trap

Dutch Defense: Krejcik Gambit, Raven Gambit

-

This gambits three points of material in the first six moves, but Stockfish, surprisingly, evaluates the position after Black accepts the gambit at +0.08, with the slightest advantage for White. With perfect play, it will end up being a draw. After the bishop recaptures the rook, e5 is by far the best move, but turmoil follows with White giving up the right to castle and their kingside being destroyed. An early queen excursion is also in the recommended Stockfish line.

(the line):

This has never been played before in the database, but that is because almost no one plays the Krejcik Gambit, and after h3, almost no one takes the pawn. In the few games that do feature taking the h-pawn, White never recaptures with the rook.

--

If Black gets greedy, then this happens:

White's position is clearly improving, and it ends up being a win for White.

I would call this the tarrasch gambit!
Basically, black gets a *huge* development advantage if white gets greedy (dxe6). With future Qa5 and h6-g5! combined Ne4 ideas, and also Nbd7 so you can re-capture the c5 pawn in a future and later rotate to e5 with Nce4
