don´t understand your question. What happens after the bishop sacrifice (move 6) is clear....

you can't expect that all the time. barely anyone plays 2. d6, and even less play 3. c6

What if your opponent goes for falkbeer's counter gambit by playing 2...d4 instead

you take the d pawn and play nf3

I cant help it, i love it but, is not quite an opening for a beginner? As beginner, i see a lot of weird stuff playing it,  but that is chess, is this an opening for a beginner, i play it all the time, sometimes its going to disaster, but anyways?

Actually, I would say the opposite of what you are implying. Most gambit play is *just* for  advanced beginners.

What you are complaining about is exactly what gambits are about. You give up material for a positional advantage, so either you win with your positional advantage, or it explodes in your face. 

They are fun to play as a beginner, because they are highly tactical and very dangerous. They get less fun as you advance, because your opponents will know exactly how to take the material you offered without giving you the positional advantage you are seeking.

yes, but this is rarely played at beginners level, always go for the d5 pawn as white?

It wasnt a question, just observation, but nevertheless i like this kind of thing, not going for material advantage but for positional advantage, what do you like?

Ah, this misunderstanding comes maybe from the fact, that english is for none of us a mother tongue, lot´s of connotations were missed.

What I like? Hm, shure, the beauty of the great games nearly everytime comes out of perfect positional play and very rarely from grabbing pieces. In my own games.... I think I´m still not good enough to have the right understanding of the piece placement. So mostly I like if I have more material than my opponent wink.png But I will never win a price for the beauty of my games. Sigh...

The king's gambit as a beginner could throw your opponents of their game. My favorite variation is the Muzio Gambit which is
