Elephant Gambit
Hi. I don't know much about chess. What is gambit?
Where you sacrifice (usually a pawn or two) material to obtain either:
1. Development advantage (danish gambit, scotch gambit)
2. Impressive attack (King's gambit, evans gambit, Max Lange Attack)
3. Long-term pressure (Benko gambit)
In my study of gambit I recently learned a new gambit called the elephant gambit does anyone know how to play that? What are your favourite gambits do explain
I have never heard of the elephant gambit. considering that I've seen Halloween's Gambit more often than this elephant, I don't think it's very good (the halloween is really bad)
Well... after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d5 3.exd5, Black has two different approaches: 3...e4 and 3...Bd6. Which one interests you? I think 3...e4 is unsound, while 3...Bd6 is not trouble-free, either.
Probably best is the restrained 3...Nf6, although it does not seem that Black gains full compensation for the pawn.
