Why Does King's Gambit Have So Many Variations...

Like one random move is a variation if it's not a blunder. Like what real person would play these sequence of moves... Here's some variations if you don't believe me.

If fxe5 in the Falkbeer Counter-Gambit, then it just becomes Damiano Defense for Black if you know what that is.

Sorry to troll, but your thread needed comments.

The King's Gambit is an ultra-aggressive opening that gives up a pawn early, leading to a highly unbalanced game. Because Black has multiple ways to accept or decline the gambit—and White has various responses to each—this creates a huge number of possible variations. Plus, since it's a less common opening today, many lines have been analyzed in detail over time. Its rich history and tactical nature make it a goldmine for creative play! (sorry I'm a bit of a nerd)

I know, it's the classical, but I meant the general variations.

Getting a book for purely one opening is wild

Not really wild, seems right for such a complex opening like the KG. Maybe at 1000 openings don’t matter that much, but say 2000 on up it would be a useful addition for the opening
