Flohr Mykanos variation of the English is very exciting for white
Hello, talfan, and thank you for the suggestion. Can you please give me the moves for this variation. I have tried to google search it, and I am unsuccessful in finding any information about it. Thanks again.

When i play against the kings gambit, I just play and early e6 and h6 and all their sacrifices and tricks don't work. I simply keep the pawn.

The Bongcloud! No discussion!
yes, of course. you need to develop your king. I wonder why none of the other openings have king development...
I buy them a drink as they will need it before the game ends!
Hey they do not need to be aware as they were not aware when they picked it. This way they can still enjoy the game.
tjdiem hi look up Tal v Sossonko Wijk aan Zee 1976 for flohr mikenas (correct spelling this time sorry)
line goes e4 knf6, knc3 e6 e4 ideas are white aims for d4 advance supported by a knight at f3 to create a 3 pawn centre
My calculus teacher played the scotch gambit with great success in highschool, but I prefer queen's gambit.
I play King's Gambit myself, but Black can avoid the lines that have a strong White initiative.
The Smith-Morra, on the other hand, once accepted, gives White a lasting initiative and some positional plus in return for the pawn, and Black doesn't have a way to balance it -- there's no obvious "return of material" tactic available.
Smith-morra seems interesting...
Eh whats it called again........oh yeah, the scotch gambit. That one can give ya a nice attack

Petrosian liked the Grob Counter Gambit
