The most powerful opening in chess and it happens commonly is the Scotch gambit. This is the scotch gambit.

How is it the most powerful opening?????? I could say the Schneider gambit is the most powerful opening for white

The Scotch Gambit is not powerful at all. All it has is a few cheap shots that Amateurs who don't know the theory will fall for.

In reality, it's nothing.

how 'bout the intercontinental ballistic missile gambit? It happens in the Tennison gambit.

your opponent should resign here.

The Scotch Gambit is a great opening. Though it has nothing to offer, save cheap tricks, it's glory is undiminished. Pity the lost souls who, deluded and befuddled, choose to play 1.d4,1.c4, 1. b3...or any such trash, rather than play a 1.e4 gambit. Safe and solid positional chess-- played by the fearful--- players who will never hear the carnyx or the sound of the war horses charging into battle.
