actually I always felt learning the ruy was better, but kings gambit is interesting. For me the kings gambit is slightly risky to put in the hands of a novice, but I guess it depends on the individual.
is kings gambit best opening for beginners?

i think so
NO. It dosnt teach the opening principles.
I think I can make a strong argument for the KGA providing an excellent venue for severe and rapid punishment of deviations from good opening principles.


Beginners should play openings according to the general rules of development & not worry about learning variation. They should spend more time learning tactics & basic endings. Most beginners don't lose games because they weren't up on opening variations. They lose by overlooking simple tactics or because they are clueless in the ending. Work on those areas first; openings aren't going anywhere.
