Hello Chess Friends, I'm here to talk about why you should never use Danish Gambit in your chess games. The Danish Gambit is quite useless because you might have issues winning. Based on my perspective, this gambit is useless because;

1. No Massive Pawn Advantage

2. Bishop in trouble

3. Large Open Squares

The Gambit is only good because of how you expose the black king to prevent casting and to have the d-file critical. Well some YouTubers like Chess Talk, made a video about countering this opening.

How the board looks like in the Danish Gambit, Lost 3 pawns for the good defense.
