I still think beginners should learn the stafford because it teaches you some attacking ideas

and if you're a real man, you don't sacrifice just one pawn, you sacrifice two by playing the danish gambit. now that's how you learn some real attacking ideas

What? Do you really think that the danish has more attacking ideas than the stafford? I guess you're making it clear to me that you haven't learned the stafford yet

BECAUSE I HAVEN'T, and how does the stafford have more attacking ideas than the danish?

How about danish? Just bishop sac on f7

I had to lookup what stafford gambit is.  The idea is contradictory.  The whole purpose of playing Petroff is to be solid.  If someone wants to play sharp openings, there are lots of better options that does not involve sacrificing a pawn.  nervous.png

start out by learning solid, positional chess, but you can try out certain sound gambits. For example, the benko gambit.

I am new to chess and the game fascinates me for how much thinking is involved and so far I am trying to learn the Stafford Gambit but it's just not working are there any other "beginner" strategies in Chess that i should look into?

King's Gambit is good too.

Even World Champion Garry Kasparov played it.

Try this thing.

Isn’t the KG kind of unsound?

It is great but a beginner cannot know how to continue if it becomes a little different

Why is it unsound ?

When I saw how Garry Kasparov played that.. I start to believe in the force of this gambit.

Pol Murphy played it too in the 19th century.
