danish gambit is one of the STRONGEST gambits! it has great winning stats, can transpose into the equally vicious scotch goering, and both Nakumura AND Levy @ Gotham Chess rate the danish as top tier unstoppable! I love king's gambit, but have slightly losing stats in it and want to try the danish.

king's gambit is nowhere NEAR "worst"

sicilian wing gambit is a dog though and latvian gambit is complete trash. I don't get how wrecking one's castle and getting one's queen chased half a dozen moves is even a GAMBIT! maybe it is in bizarro world.

englund hartlaub charlick is AWESOME! I have 2:1 stats with THAT! the main line englund looks ugly

mathematically, duras gambit sucks, but there's a line where black is down 5 points, huddled in the remnants of his castle, yet actually WINS games! I can't remember who made the video, but i'll try to find it.

HERE! despite being up 6 full points, white isn't winning much in the duras gambit.

those a fuhreeeekin' AWESOME stats for a -6 opening! not gonna play the duras, but that's the 1600-2000 reality, and here's Igor's video where I learned that stat:

The difference is that the coca cola gambit is ACTUALLY a real opening that shows up in the lichess database.

Cannot be. Two reputable authors have a book on it.

King’s gambit is awful

The obscure Dudweiler is -4 on move 3

literally the coca cola gambit

Coca-cola gambit is definitely the worst, but let's be honest the Beyer Gambit is TRULY the worst one, it inflicts emotional damage (or maybe you love it for being able to destroy little kids who don't know what castling is) on both parties.
