Why does black always move the knight after the gambit is accepted? d5 is strong and Idk how white can punish

The knight on f6 supports the d5 pawn plus it also sets a blockade for the white pawn on f5. Sometimes white player can give back the pawn to destroy black's structure by playing f6.

What are your thoughts @pfren?

This time, on looking at it, I think that white has two pawns, or will have. White should be able to play d4, develop and castle Q-side. White is winning and it shouldn't be difficult.

Why should you need my thoughts about a stupid move which drops a pawn and creates serious weaknesses for nothing? You can think by yourself.

😂😂😂😂 Good one. I needed your thoughts because I am lower rated than him. Anyway the whole gambit is stupid.

I played the Karim-Bot server, the game went like this- 1.e4 f5... bunch of other moves. I ended up winning with two queens against Karim-Bot. That explains why he has such a low rating. (No offense intended)

A little more serious game, where I played a master rated 2444, who opted for Duras in order to give me a fair chance (my rating is 1890). It was a simultaneous match with 16 boards, and we all had 20min + 7 sec per move (40mins +7 sec per move for the master). I made many inaccuracies, and burned a lot of time, which served me fine at the end, since in a tricky double edged position master started playing heavily on my time, and made mistakes. Hope you like it

why are you playing d6 in the opening, it just makes the opening more unsound. d5 is better because at least you have the center.

Avatar of EKAFC

It’s a bad opening but people blunder against it. White has at least +5 but loose to being unprepared 

Avatar of LongTimeThinker

I dont think this gambit is that bad, a little better than the englund gambit for sure. If black plays logically with Nf6, ...d5, ...Bd6, ...0-0, Black would only be somewhat worse. At least he's up a tempo.

1. e4 f5 2. exf5 Nf6 3. g4 leads to interesting play favoring white

I have just to this gambit and have never felt so horrid in my chess career before. Oh heavens it hurts.

Queen sac to mate. Don't think this is such a good opening...

What's funny is that I actually play that against people a lot. The position is terrible but because of how random it is a lot of people won't know what to do against it. Though if your opponents are above 1200 rating it's likely that they will know how to attack your highly intoxicated royalty.

With the Fred, you are more likely to make a mistake than someone knowing the refutation and/or you lose on time because why would you play it on long time control. I was able to beat  a 1960 on chess.com with it but she had the mentality of trying to play into something she knows even if it not as good for her and after a blundered my advantage, I won because she was slow on the clock. Anymore time and she would have beaten me because she has good calculating habits than I do
