h6 can also be played in place of g5.
Should I choose King's gambit as my main opening as white?

If black doesn't try to defend the pawn, in a lot of lines white will play d4 followed by Bxf4.
Here he will have a better center and better development.

i disagree .
Me and you could play a game just like it and id still be credible cause youd loose.. your always welcome to boost my online rating if you like.
id be much obliged.
Oh my, you are adorable.
I don't care whether you agree or not. The weight of theory suggests that 4...g4? against either 4. Nc3 or 4.Bc4 is at best lacking and at worse, just plain weak. This will probably annoy Muzio Gambit fans but like the Quaade, all Black has to do is consolidate the extra pawn with d6, h6 & Bg7 (depending on the move order) and it is up to White to prove he (or she) has a pawns worth of compensation (and largely White has not).
On the subject of playing me….You are not the first and you will definitely will not be the last to think that a perspective on chess can be validated on the back of one game. Winning a game of chess does not make your perspective right, it just makes you the better player on the day….
But if you want a game, let me know of your playing conditions and lets go…

This game shows a great way for black to equalize and eventually win because of whites weak kingside
I like 7...Be7 because I saw an old game with it from the old masters. Do people like this move anymore?

I think the opposite. g5 is a good move for black and If white regains the pawn he is doing well.
G5 is horrible...
it rips open your completely unsafe king and subjects black to the certainty of being terrorized by whites awesome development!!

I like playing Be7 against the Italian, but for the Kings Gambit, it is too passive

The idea is to play ...g5 and protect the pawn but Idunno if this is considered playable anymore.
I played the Italian for a while and it was no fun. Then I switched to the King's Gambit and I am loving chess again.

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
So you are saying you know better than two of the strongest GMs ever??

As Black against the KG, I always play the classical variation: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5
I don't know what modern theory tells us, but to me it follows the spirit of the game.

You're braver than me lol.

No.
The king's gambit is like any other regular opening: Whoever understands better the needs of the position, and handles it properly, wins. I do not play the King's gambit (as white) because I find many of the opening's tabiyas to be lightweight- not necessarily boring, but dry, and stereotyped.

I understand that and was being a bit facetious. But the spirit of a gambit evokes taking chances, especially to us lower rated players.
My mainline for white is the scotch gambit.
The theory is so complicated that I have had people resign in completely equal positions, like this one:
Or something like this, he may have played Be7.

Each to his own. I have a very good score as Black, but I won't play the line again, as white can effectively force a draw, or an extremely boring position.
Thanks for reminding me why I don't use this forum. Amplebeee, you are pathetic.
ur a vag.
