Should I choose King's gambit as my main opening as white?

Thanks for sharing Logozar. Good game, both sides walking a tightrope. I suppose it shows how easy it is to go awry in kings gambit settings. (For both sides).

Unfortunately I think you lose a lot creditablity  by claiming that the King's Gambit is good for Black and then playing a poor move like 4...g4 in your example game

I remember a themed tournament they had in the 3.d4 KG. I don't remember the country but it was at a famous bar where they have chess tournaments sometimes. A 2600 player went in and did pretty well with it. It led to different positions than usual because White was a pawn down in the endings but still had some compensation.

You should play whatever opening you're comfortable with.

A joke, a troll, and an idiot- all packed in one.

You are my hero pfren. I sometimes can't believe you still try to teach these kids anything.

pfrens a vag.

   He knows ill squash his kings gambit as black which is why him or the girly boi (valeri) wont prove me wrong ...

   Chess is mainly prearranged and memorization....

  Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

  its prearranged and memorised ,  never underestimate the power of memorization in the human mind.... 

   Or an IM that lies and says chess is 100% creative...

    lies from ims that endorse a book from someone that 700 uscf...

   Yet probably thinking about stealing my idea for himself.  a douche bag ignores someone and steals their idea. 

Amplebeee

Thanks for reminding me why I don't use this forum. Amplebeee, you are pathetic.

I think both the Kings Gambit and the Italian Game are junk!

i am a Ruy Lopez and London System player, and I stick to those.

i think all of us lower rated players should stick to those two

StephenCorelli

In blacks response of the Kings Gambit, G5 is a bad move.

dont try to keep the pawn, just focus on developing

@StephenCorelli Ruy lopez and London System makes for very slow and boring games, Openings like Kings Gambit actually take some thinking and makes for a lot more interesting games

pamreder

 As White, I stick to queens gambit and as black i stick to sicilian or i just develop if white doesn't play king's pawn

StephenCorelli
This game shows a great way for black to equalize and eventually win because of whites weak kingside

I think the opposite. g5 is a good move for black and If white regains the pawn he is doing well.

pamreder

White Should have focused on castling queen side instead of bishop e2. A good move was queen e2. But g5 is a bad move because it leaves too much of a opportunity for attacks on that side. It is also easy for white to eventually take both of those
