King's Gambit Refuted

Sort:

And black is toasted. 

Makes me wonder why people keep playing this opening.

Yes, I am aware of the meaning thank you. As a 1900+ rated player you should be able to see that black is much better off, otherwise I can only assume you are trolling.

I only play five minute games online ----> my rating in blitz with the USCF is 1642.

By the way, I haven't been playing on this site. I have been playing on ChessCube, which has an overall better interface when it comes to live chess.

I also fail to see what my rating has to do with the analysis.

I'm not so bothered about the analysis, I know the King's Gambit is terrible.

5. Ne5?! is the most common reply in my games. Very few players are willing to sacrifice the knight, since the Muzio Gambit has been somewhat refuted by 6...Qf6.

Peter Leko, Micheal Adams, Judith Polgar, and Nigel Short have all played it with some success. 

It's playable.

Analysis? What analysis would that be...

Lucky they weren't playing you then if you refuted it.

Here is a nice game with the Bishop's Gambit, which is a bit more sound.

None of them played this line. And why are you so upset by the fact?

Anyone can refute an opening given enough time, experience, and computer analysis.

It doesn't take a high-rated player to do that.

Do people just go into threads to start flame wars? Did you miss the diagram in the begining of this thread?

Very few GM's play this line. I checked my database with over 1 million games, 365 Chess, and ChessGames.com

4.exd5 in that variation is not sound. Published analysis shows that black could obtain a winning attack with 15...c5! and after 16.d5 g5 17.h3 f5!

Also, the analysis you have provided does not give any indication that the King's gambit is refuted, as is claimed in the title. Why do you insist on making such pointless threads?

4. exd5?

When was that an option?
