I'm used to think gambits can be a little dangerous for beginners. Is the one you suggest to use this one (https://www.chess.com/fr/openings/Polish-Opening-Kucharkowski-Meybohm-Gambit) ?
If you’re a beginner, the best chess gambits are ones that give you quick development and clear attacking ideas without too much theory—openings like the King’s Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.f4), Queen’s Gambit (1.d4 d5 2.c4), Danish Gambit, Evans Gambit, Smith-Morra Gambit, and Vienna Gambit are all great choices because they teach you how to sacrifice a pawn for initiative, control the center, and bring your pieces out fast; the key isn’t just the gambit itself but learning to play actively—develop quickly, open lines, and attack before your opponent can organize—since at beginner levels, opponents often struggle to defend accurately, making gambits especially effective.
