I love playing around with KIDs.
(openings).
The best opening in chess is...

What do you think about the King's Gambit @chessblackbelt? Have you ever played it OTB to see if it is as efficient as it is online?

I’ve played against it as black. I got a really easy position against it against a stronger opponent
Just play the falkbeer and life is simple against the KG

Also I know it says it’s a countergambit but I don’t really understand why. I’m never down a pawn when I play it lol

Idk I think it’s just a goated opening honestly. I think people avoid it because they think it’s drawish but it’s really not. It’s dangerous af

The Fischer Defense is also a great option. I have to say that, although I know it's a little bit unsound opening, the king's gambit has been a quite strong option for me at my rating level. I don't know if you're a tactical player, but you should give it a try (online at least)

Oh I'm a d4 player, I'll never play the kings gambit anyway lol. Plus I don't really like playing unsound openings I'd get yelled at
I play 1. e5 so I'm familiar with the kings gambit. Anytime I see it OTB it's always rejected. Falkbeer countergambit is more common than KGA for sure

it is not a d4 opening of course
Imo whenever you play the exchange KID it's straight up just a 2 result game
I can't say that about any other opening

Kings Indian. Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasporav both played it
And I'd beat both of them in the exchange variation 😤

Seems like an alternative name could be "gunslinger". This guy I'm watching says white wants to get the queens off the board and avoid theory. 😭😂

Black keeps getting a rook on 2nd rank. It's pretty tough to beat CBB.

Idk you’ve got a dangerous passed pawn. You’ve got an octopus knight on d6 in a lot of lines and you’ve nearly always got control of the c file
It’s a legit good try for an advantage, not just smth to avoid theory lol
THE EXCHANGE KID
Holy goated opening. Ts will single handedly get me to titled, it’s actually so op
My OTB performance rating over 6 games with it is 2300
KID players have no idea how to play against it, I can’t believe more people don’t play this as white lol
