Gambits

   My Favorite Chess Gambit is the King's Gambit Declined. I rarely take the Gambit pawn, and usually get a good game.

   I belong to Yahoo Group--BrianWallChess--which often studies bizarre and interesting chess openings and themes like this.

   Thanks for all the interesting comments. The ultimate Gambit has to be Reti's Double Rook sacrifice--which he won! Be sure to check out BrianWallChess on groups.yahoo.com.

That would be the Blackmar-Deimar Gambit if I'm not mistaken.

   Yes, Estragon. Gambits can be in the middle game, also. I've seen lots of sacs in the middle game that were as good or better than opening gambits.

   Won another tough game today against a man from Portugal, playing the Black side of the King's Gambit Declined. Great Opening Variation! Strong play by both sides today!
