Here's one variation I remember...
The book said it was even on the last position. Any comments?
King's Gambit Accepted?
Sort:
Really?
The king's gambit accepted appears to lead to open play with equal chances for both black and white.Does this mean that the better rated player should win most of the time with either colour? If so would it be wiser to avoid playing it against stronger opponents if a win was your priority?
Just thinking out loud! Regards

Regards the posted game by atomic rift--
1st. 4.h4 is a mistake. Better h3
2nd. Now Nf3 must move and move again.
3rd. Pawn structure decimated by move 11.
I have found after much study that the majority of king's gambit accepted games will favour white with good play.As here bad white play will favour black.
But h4 is book... um...
If h4 was book move, how did white lose?

4.h4 is the kieseritzky gambit -- here's a famous example... hopefully you won't complain about the quality of the opposition.

White is dumb!
I enjoy King's Gambit. Few people play it and it leads to an open and interesting game. Especially good in blitz. Thanks for sharing the Spassky-Fischer game!
There won't be enough books! I, unlike some, don't think chess will ever be solved - too many possible moves.
Is the King's gambit accepted a good opening for black in short blitz games or is it more suited to a longer strategic game?

I remember studing this game! Spassky beat Fischer with it!

I remember one position where it said you sack your knight! I thought it was a crazy idea but there are chances of attack.

People that play the King's Gambit strive for attack. But I think there's better openings to attack with.
After
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4
the only move for white that does NOT lose by force is 3. Be2

That was the subject of an April Fool's story in chessbase. I'm amazed at how many people actually believed it!

Actually, the move that does not lose by force is 3. Bc4
I was just too tired to type it out.
I studied King's Gambit Accepted for 2 hours yesterday!
What I found out is that in most variations black has the upper hand!
