On my old account, Kings gambit (specifically the one with 2. ... exf4 3. d4)

On my current, I dont play any gambits but the queens gambit (I played damiano gambit once, but I dont think that counts)

The Fred

Found an old game of mine from the 1970s.

These are all incredible although we can ignore all the blunders in between lol

I only play one gambit line in the Polish opening. The Tartakower gambit.

I don't know what the winning stats are.

maybe someone could look it up?

it's probably dubious at best but it is a lot of fun!

This is quite unusual. Will have to remember it when I do start 1.b4

yup. that's it.

Yeah, I used to play that gambit. You follow it up with stuff like Bc4, Ne2, 0-0, f4, etc.

it is very much like a Kings Gambit only weider.

I like it!

1. e4 f5?! 2. exf5 Nc6??

It’s Swindler’s variation in the Hollyrock gambit, an offshoot of The Fred. If you ever win with this one, please please please, post it!

I have played the 2...Kf7 Fred many times but that looks horrible. Maybe one day when I am running out of gambits to try.

On another note, I have been trying to complete the Nimzowitsch Defense Gambits but they only occur if they take the center and except your pawn. Fortunately, I got the Aachen Gambit through pure luck

I have now won with more gambits than both Jonathon Schrantz and Eric Rosen with 139. Here is my latest gambit: The Wheeler Gambit
