Caro-Kann Defence: Labahn, Double Gambit according to Chess.com explorer
although maybe not that risky!
What is the riskiest gambit?
Sort:
Borg Gambit. As a big fan of Mr Basman and Grob, I used it many times to surprise my web and OTB park opponents.

Halloween gambit is one of my favourites and very risky because if black plays one of the many refutations you get a miserable position before move 12. My highest rated victory of all time was using the Halloween gambit- i took down a 2700 anonymous GM with it in a bullet game
Many refutations ? I am curious what you mean.
I like the Stafford gambit 😊

It means the opposing side can take advantage of the gambit in so many ways

Sorry I was not clear but I still not found a convinced winning way for Black. I published a booklet about the Halloween in 2005 and now working on a revised edition. Sure, there are many lines in which White had to struggle to survive but a real refutation was never seen.
I never understood the purpose of this gambit, but it's an actual gambit for white. It's registered in the database as the Irish Gambit.
The only thing I understand about the gambit is that I'm pretty sure the next move is d4, kinda like the Halloween Gambit, but it doesn't really work the same way honestly, because while in the Halloween Gambit after Nc6 again, white goes e5 to pressure the other knight (at least that's how I play it, I may be wrong), so I don't know what white is supposed to do in the Irish Gambit.
The Urusov Gambit isn't really risky. In the most common scenario, after Nc6 it becomes a Italian Game. And if Nxe5, after Nc3 and Nf6, White has a development advantage. So there isn't a lot of risks for white when playing the Urusov Gambit.

The Colorado Gambit is pretty risky. I'm sure there's much worse though.
There are so many gambits in chess but which one is the riskiest? Also, What is your favorite gambit opening to play?
I really enjoy the Nakhmanson gambit. Here's a video of that gambit. Some of the mainlines are incredible!

Nakhmanson is the best
