why would you play chess if it weren't fun?
Some kind of sado-masochistic impulse, I guess. Either to torment myself through the futile attempt to play perfectly and win or to inflict greater psychological torment on my opponent.

Blackburne Shilling Gambit
Latvian Gambit
Vienna Game with Bxf7+
Grob Attack
Albin Counter-Gambit
Danish Gambit
Cochrane Gambit
Basically anything that involves the move f5 in the first 10 moves for black
So your saying that the Dutch is a gimmicky opening?
Many players have used it including Kramnik and Topalov
That's why I said basically .
I'm referring to stuff like the Fred, the Latvian, the Schliemann, and the Rousseau. The Dutch is an exception.
While I wouldn't call i gimmicky it sure gets wild, I present you the traxler, not for the faint of heart and needs a lot of studying. I know no other opening where white can get simply destroyed by one false move.
Make sure to check at least the first game I linked!

i dont know what happend here. i must have pressed some wrong buttons.
Your selection of openings shouldn't first depend on finding an idiot to play. Once you get paired against someone with his wits about him, you're done for.
