King's gambit

Kings Gambit is amazing and will absolutely demolish ppl that have limited opening knowledge. It's great in Blitz you just sacced a f4 pawn and your Nite on f3

And how your chasing thier King on your side of the board and they have 1 piece in play its beautiful. Full of sharp tactial positions that are beginners/intermediate players worst nightmare...... But when you start running across people with solid fundamentals w/opening knowledge falls off still produces sharp postions good if you like tactical play. I switched over to d4 around the 2k nieghborhood. But making a new account and trolling 1700 and under with kings Gambit has a special place in my heart

King's Gambit is a very tricky opening. At top level, it is very rarely because it's refutable but not easy to do if unprepared

Objectively, I think, not the best  but I always seem to get interesting games with it, so it's worth a punt now & again... when I've played it OTB I sometimes wondered if my opponent thought I might be some kind of an expert on it, when that definitely wasn't the case!

You provide a lot of resources for the King's Gambit but the Red and Blue fonts are very hard to read

The King's Gambit is a very good opening to play. One important thing - you must first research the complexities of the Tumbleweed Variation, the Gaga Gambit, the Orsini Gambit and the Horny Defense before you even touch that f-pawn.

the king's gambit is not good in the sense that "black gets a comfortable position and white has to equalize",

but it is good in the sense that "you can play it if you want because white has reasonable replies to black's responses"

I enjoyed playing it from 800 to 1200 for the double edged tactics, sacrifices and mates.

It's not a professional opening per say, but had been regularly played by the likes of Spassky and Bronstein in the past, so it may well only be a matter of time before Dubov reveals the latest novelties in it and turn it into a dangerous weapon (okay, I'm going over my head... that's unlikely). 

The point is, it's by no means a "bad" opening. Start playing it in the usual King's Gambit fervor and results aside, I promise you great fun in your games. Here's one of mine:

Nice one!

I honestly don't reccomened the king's gambit for a few reasons.

The first is that there are so many ways to make the game extremely dry, with slightly better chances for black:

The next reason is that there are good ways for black to hold onto the pawn:

And the final reason is that the declined lines which are supposedly "inferior" are incredibly difficult to play as white:

The above is all true and very sensible advice, but the point of playing the Kings gambit is more to do with the dream of creating something cool and beautiful rather than giving yourself good practical chances out of the opening. We can attempt to time travel back to the 19th century over the chess board.

You take your chances that the opponent may not allow you any fun, but as we are all amateur enthusiasts I reckon it's worth it when you're in the mood.
