Wierd And Wonderful Gambits

Hi,

I am a gambit player and would love to see what gambits others play. So if you have some games or lines you could show me thta would be helpful. I would love to see them

For Example I have recently been working on the Tennison Gambit-

As you can if played accurately white can get a strong attack.

Great post!

@Prologue1 I think that white should strive for an advantage with 4.H4!!! This move is theoretical in the budapest gambit which is very similar to this. H6 cant be played so its difficult to remove the knight from g5 and white can proceed with nc3 bc4 etc...

How many bizarre gambits do you want?

Here's one. This gambit is called "Her Majesty's Knickers". It's very fun to play because it exposes your Queenside, hence the name, and can be used from a few different starting positions depending on Black's response. Examples below:

Urusov gambit:

Now, black has te greedy option 4...Nxe4, or the better Bc5

Norfolk gambit:

Ringelbach gambit:

Tartakower gambit:

Wolfers gambit (interesting weapon against 1-b4)

Bellón gambit (this one is quite sound)

Give them a try and tell me.

With how many silver and golden coins are we awarded with?

How does it sound?

Its nasty if you know what your doing.

@kareldevries. Yes black can indeed play h6. However after Nxe4 followed ther is no way for balck to strive fior the advantage. Normally f5 is possible and black gets a strong centre. However now that h6 has been played qh5 is crushing so black can get the strong centre. Also h4 supports the knight on g5 making it difficult for black to get rid of it. I could be wrong but i have had this line a few times and won most of my games in it.

Pleas tell me any new thoughts.....

The Cochrane gambit sometimes works for me, but I have to be in the mood for it.

hi

The Morphy Gambit, named after the famous Paul Morphy. It`s not often played and can be deadly!

That looks interesting actually but yes as you say it seems unsound....maybe I will deploy it in a bullet some time.
