i used to play dura gambit a lot.. this is the main trap people fell for..i know that there are many other possibilites and availible options here for white but believe it or not black has a proper response for each of white attack.. the only drawback of this gambit is that you cannot afford even a slight mistake.. u have to play it perfectly no matter what..
i can share the other possible moves if anyone curious.. (this is just the main trap)

İnstead of 3.Be2 ı like to play g4 and attack the kingside if he ignores it ı will play g5 and he is forced to sac the knight or after he moves the knight away ı will give Qh5+ and ım winning and this works a lot (for white)

Why does black always move the knight after the gambit is accepted? d5 is strong and Idk how white can punish
Yep... d5 is brilliant. It just causes Black some minor inconveniences.

I play this opening and it’s solid because of control centre and good attack on castle king. But you need to be careful about your f7 square. Veeery dangerous but fun to play

Yeah but its a blunder and white has a great attacking chances, black is losing
Played as black and I won this game with the Duras gambit. They resigned before I could make the final checkmating move.
Just looking at the position after 5 moves, white is a solid pawn up and black has a weak k position. After white plays d3, black has very little. I've changd my mind from my earlier impressions.
Ah, yes, but in the end, it was me, playing as black, who got the checkmate.
I find the many comments talking down on it amusing. 🙂 I think it's a fun opening, and has its pros and cons. If you want to have a boring game, keep doing the same the moves that everyone else knows are safe. If you want to have fun, mess around with the previously dismissed and condemned moves. There is always more to find. 🙂
