Please help me with a few chess openings

Hello folks,

Wow, great website! But I need help learning a few openings. I was just wondering if you could help me.

1. Ruy Lopez-I can't stand playing against the Ruy. It gets quite confusing and I never know which lines to play

2. King's Gambit-I also hate playing against the King's Gambit. Could someone please show me the lines?

u cant avoid em, but u can learn to love em

u just have to actuslly win some games against em,

and I KNOW when u say u hate playing against it, it means u always lose against them.

If you don't play 1...e5 as black then you won't have to play against either opening. 

There are at least two ways to bust King's Gambit.

1. Fischer's Defense

2. Cunningham defense (two variations)

Explanation for the Fischer's defense. White's dark-square Bishop is paralyzed and White's must work hard to compensate his gambit pawn.

Explanation for Cunningham, this opening is used to destroy White's plan to castle because of the looming Bh4+. White can cover it by g3 and it will lead to Cunningham defense / Bertin Gambit / Three pawn's opening. White can castle but in exchange 3 precious pawns.

I hope this one will help you mate.

some of the drawbacks of the cunningham is blacks bishop at h4. yes white cant castle but black is gonna have some developmentproblems. if black wants to develop the knight to f6 or e7 he is losing the bishop so he have to use time fixing that. i rather take restinpeace fishcerdefence:)

The Bishop check in the Cunningham is not the main approach: instead, Nf6 is played. It's much saner and saves the Bishop for when it could be useful later.

The Fischer line is one where I got stomped years ago when I thought I'd try it in a postal game. It is not a bust to anything but Black's desire for a quiet game. It's better to just decline the KG by 2... Bc5 or 2...d5

And the Lopez is a complicated game where you are just better off trying to play it and study afterwards where you went wrong. This will lead to incremental improvement.

If you don't like playing against them, then you must either learn the stronger lines against them...or avoid them all together. I love to play the Spanish Game (Ruy Lopez) as white, but I avoid it as black...usually with the Petrof. The King's Gambit is far less common, I think I've only played it once as black.
