Sorry, I thought this was a Forum to show how dangerous it is for White. A real gambit.

no the question was, is it a suitable opening for white as a beginner?

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?

try the vienna gambit because its very similar to the kings gambit but much more solid

     Play whatever you like. If you play the King's Gambit because you want to learn how to conduct an attack go for it. Realize that most of your wins will come because you know the opening better than your opponent. As you get better you will play stronger players who know how to counter this gambit. You can actually learn a lot by seeing how they neutralize your attacking play. As your main weapon against 1.....e5 it has its shortcomings--it's not as sound as other openings.

you should learn like two or three openings for both colors. for Black, one defense for e4, one defense for d4, and some sort of pet opening. for white, if you're playing Kings Gambit, i would learn the Vienna game to pair with it

when i see the Scandinavian, I transpose to the Blackmar-Diemer gambit

very aggressive for white, tries to activate all the pieces and go for an attack whilst black struggles to solidify

don't push e5 in the scandinavian, it allows black to enter a French-style structure but letting them get their bishop out first. e5 is not good in the scandinavian

King gambit is interesting opening, but problem is that some lines are very testing.

My advice is to play normal opening and later on return to it and see did it work well for you...

Why is it a  not a normal opening? Even Fischer played it? You get unusual lines, you can learn as a beginner?

 

RJF played this just 4 times in his whole career (plus a few simul games against weak opponents). And RJF playing this once in a blue moon does not mean that you can do the same, unless you're his reincarnation.

An IM already told you that the King's gambit is far from simple, or intuitive to be learned by a beginner, but it is apparent that you know much better than him.

Anyway, feel free to waste your time whichever way you like.

Yes, i understand what you are trying to say. I reconsider my comment. I am not playing it anymore because of what you are saying, maybe sometimes as surprise. Which opening do you recommend white must study after e4 and e5?

Oldschool Italian with c2-c3 and d2-d4. When you master that, you can study the more positional d2-d3 Italian lines as well.
