Well, in the danish, black can always bail out to an equal endgame even if he accepts all the pawns. If you want something slightly more sound, there is the Goring (1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 dxc3 4.Nxc3) which is reasonable.Unfortunately, if your opponent knows what he is doing, he can get to a slightly better endgame by force. If you want a gambit, you can try the Evans.
opening help
Sort:
Thnx JMB. Is the KIA a good one?
The Danish gambit is sheer crap, sir- Black emerges with a clear advantage. And actually do your math again- it's two pawns, not three.
You must have been reading too many comics, thinking they are chess books.
Sir, i know its two . But i didnt focus on that bishop recapture as it helps in devolepment. BTW could u suggest an alternative.
Plz i know the dis of danish. Im looking for alternative openings
The first one is the most well known way to play against the Danish, however the second is slightly better.

aebeljoe, my best advice is steer clear of e4. Too much theory in 1...e5, the Sicilian, and the French. 1.e4 should be reserved for players over 2400. I can even confirm the statistics with my own 1040 or so tournament games where I had Black, and point out that I have a plus record as Black against 1.e4, and barely 40% against 1.d4 or 1.Nf3.
Switch over to d4. Some lines are theory-heavy, but far fewer than after 1.e4. Save yourself a lot of headaches!
I like Queen's Gambit.

the op says he likes playing agrresive not that he wants to avoid theory besides 1.d4 has lots of theory in it aswell the nimzo,queens indian,bogo-indian, kings indian, grunfeld, benoni, modern benoni, blumenfeld, benko etc etc

Troll comment. OP likes playing "aggressively", the best way to do this is to play 1.e4 in order to get open positions, in which you have more chances to play aggressively. Yet another person who thinks that games are won in the opening and you have to know theory of every single opening in order to get good results. Blasterdragon has also given several good examples of openings that involve substantial theory which no doubt will interest you.
I am looking forward to KIA. But if there are anything similar or better, please suggest.
nimzo-larsen attack!
you didnt list kings gambit. Maybe give it a try
I couldnt find the entire line of the larsen attack, only comments. @ moyuba
Can u share the mainline and sidelines.
Akhilan, ive already tried the guiccio, its not suiting me.
I would suggest Kings Gambit. It's one of my favorites. The positions that arise from it are extremely sharp, for both the parties.It's resourceful and middlegame is simpler to execute. It's aggressive because white's in for a mate.
There are a wide bunch of replies that black can choose from, but always keeping in mind to keep the game a little boring at the start if there are open files. If white plays d3, then there is a weakness on d4 square.(Actually the d4 sq is in my opinion one of the most important squares in this opening.) On the top of that if white is planning to castle queenside, then always be on lookout for sharp tactical advantages, because at times to 0-0-0 quickly he places the pieces awkwardly. If I am black I would choose from three options, one is Falkbeer's countergambit(its black is trying to reverse the rolls), second is Botvinick variation, third is simple classical g5.
So if u r white, check on theory on these lines. For the rest of them u can get a general idea by playing a few games with it and being hungry for combinations, becasue more often than not, they do arise from Kings Gambit.
I am a typical white player who likes to play aggressive. I am looking for an opening which suits me and leads to a gain at the middle game itself if played well. I have already had my experiances with QG, ruy, guiccio, and bishops. I am presently doing the danish gambit which is winning if the initial key moves r played. White offers 3 pawns to get a huge lead in devolepment. Due to this same fact , the gambit never gets completed. That is why i am looking for something else. All opinions r welcome.Anxiously waiting for the replies
