And why do you move the bishop twice
sanjilajmera191211

You don't always need to sacrifice the pieces

sanjilajmera191211

And for 2 bishop moves tell why you sacrifice a pawn in kings gambit

Sussyguy4890
Because then the king’s gambit is a gambit
sanjilajmera191211

1) To divert the e-pawn away from the center so that white can play d4 next.

2) To open up the f-file for an attack on the black king if white is able to capture the f-pawn or if another pawn is sacrificed on g3.

3) To gain a development advantage.

No... it isn't. What you have is a system of moves that you hope that you can play as white. You aren't even accounting for how black can or will respond.

In order for a gambit to be a gambit, there needs to be a sacrifice of material (pawn or piece), to gain some compensation (Typically an advantage in development or to gain control of the center). You are sacrificing your development (not material), to create a bind in the center. That is called a waste of your first move advantage, not a gambit.

I renamed it as thar system

Regardless of whether it's a gambit bad etc. It definitely is an interesting type of setup with that crazy bind on d5, and active dark bishop. Not saying I would play it but it's definitely something you can take ideas of. Let's all stop bashing him for loving chess enough to try and innovate.
