| Dec-05-05 | | TheKid: <sneaky pete>
As in Adelaide, Australia? |
|
| Dec-05-05 | | sneaky pete: <TheKid> That's right. The name stems from Miles, who used this system in a tournament in Adelaide around 1988. It has nothing to do with "Einsam wandelt dein Freund ...". |
|
| Jan-23-06 | | Averageguy: I'm thinking of taking up the King's Gambit in tournament chess, where I face 1500-1800 players. What do the kibitzers here think of that? |

 | | WannaBe: <Averageguy> Just as long as you know all the tricks black can pull on ya!! And good luck =) http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... |
|
| Jan-23-06 | | refutor: <averageguy> it's an excellent idea! players at that level (myself included) are generally uncomfortable defending. with limited preparation you can be very successful with the king's gambit |
|
| Jan-23-06 | | who: You just need to figure out how you will avoid Fischer's bust - or how to play against it. |
|
| Jan-24-06 | | refutor: just play 3.Bc4 |
|
| Jan-24-06 | | Averageguy: Thanks, I'll probably pick it up, that or the Evans Gambit. Can ny of you reccomend a decent book on the KG that could get me started, while not being too theory dense? Thanks very mcuh in advance again. |
|
| Jan-24-06 | | azaris: <Averageguy> "Throw all your pieces at the enemy king" is about all you can say about the KG without getting theory dense. |
|
| Jan-24-06 | | refutor: look at the games of anderssen...for the most part theory hasn't changed that much in the sidelines (which Bc4 is) v. those days and the stuff that has your 1500-1800 opponents won't play anyways ;) |
|
| Mar-19-06 | | Chess Classics: <Averageguy> Studying tactics is a good way to be successful with the KG. Regards,

| Apr-06-06 | | DeepBlade: In the KG(A) you need to know certain development lines, and know how to punish Black's Tempo-loss/Wrong timed development. Also a KG game is fertile ground for sacfest games, so keep scanning for the sac. Try a few 1ply/2ply/3ply games, just to get a feel for the White's development pressure. Also review games in the KG between chess engines, ive seen some dazzling moves when playing over a game 1/2/3/4ply Arasan engine and Fritz 9 at infinite. You will see how to advance with threats, and build on the opponents weaknesses.In the King's gamit the golden rule is; In order to win the game, you have to dominate it. You will never encounter the KGD, Maffia defence, but here you go!

| Jun-09-06 | | blitz920: this opening is suicide |
|
| Jun-09-06 | | Bartleby: Playing the Chicago Gambit is suicide. The King's Gambit is good-natured chicanery, as Spassky and Bronstein knew, two modern players who employed it many times (check out their efforts in the database). As black I like to play the Falkbeer or the Modern Accepted w/exf4 and ...d5. As white I trot it out every so often, typically favoring 3. Nf3 and Morphy's 4. c3 vs. the Declined. |
|
| Jun-18-06 | | DeepBlade: I find 1.e4 e5 2.f4 Nf6! a great defence against the KGA, I am an KG enthousiast but when I face a defence like that I tend to get stuck. I can only think of 3.Nc3 but that gets a Bb4, and fxe5 is replied with Nxe4 with Petroffish play. A nice solid way to equalise for Black. |
|
| Jun-18-06 | | KingG: <DeepBlade> Have you tried this line? 1.e4 e5 2.f4 Nf6 3.Nf3 Nxe4 4.d3 Bronstein vs J Kostro, 1969
Bronstein vs Yusupov, 1981 |
|
| Jun-18-06 | | DeepBlade: Wow, <KingG> Thanks a lot, the center control sure looks promising. Also I would express my appreciation on behalf of all KG rebels, thank you for your Game Collection: How to play the King's Gambit Declined ! |
|
| Jun-18-06 | | Swapmeet: I play 2...Nf6 all the time, it is fine for black, and a good psychological weapon. Against 3.Nc3 it's probably better to transpose to the Vienna with 3...d5, and against 3.Nf3 transpose to the KGA with 3...exf4. |
|
| Jun-18-06 | | KingG: <DeepBlade> Thanks. I think you are the first person to mention it. You may also want to check out Game Collection: How to play the King's Gambit Accepted :-) |

| Jun-19-06 | | pyryk: Hi everybody, I just came back from a weekend tournament and would like to show a game of mine in the KGD, 2..Qh4+ variation. Time control was 90 minutes for the whole game which isn't exactly the best option for a time trouble addict like me. [Event "Lappeenranta"]
[Date "2006.06.18"]
[Round "4"]
[White "pyryk, rated about 1550"]
[Black "opponent, 2040-ish"]
[Result "0-1"]
1.e4 e5 2.f4 ♕h4+ 3.g3 ♕e7 4.d3 ♘c6 5.♘f3 d6 6.♗g2 ♘f6 7.O-O h6 8.♗e3 ♗e6 9.♘c3 g6 <My opponent had used only about 5 minutes up to this point compared to the 20 minutes I had used. I also felt that he had played the opening quite slowly, so I decided to open up the game.> 10.f5! gxf5 11.exf5 ♗d7 12.d4 ♗g7 13.♕d2 ♘g4 <This move surprised me, as it just hadn't crossed my mind. ♙erhaps he should have just castled long.> 14.♖ae1 ♘xe3 15.♖xe3 f6? <I really don't like this move. It blocks both of his bishops in and seriously weakens the light squares.> 16.♘h4 ♕d8 17.♕d1! <at this point, I had 32 minutes left while my opponent had a bit over an hour to use> ♘e7 <pretty much forced> 18.dxe5 dxe5 19.♕h5+ ♔f8
The rest of the game will come in a second post. |
|
| Jun-19-06 | | pyryk: 20.♖xe5!? <Here I only had 14 minutes left. I tried to make sure that I would be left with a nice advantage after this sacrifice but failed to take everything into account. I think I should have just trusted my intuition and played this sac instantly.> ♗e8 <accepting the sacrifice would probably be too dangerous with his poor development> 21.♘g6+ ♘xg6 22.fxg6 ♗xg6! <I hadn't seen that he could play this. Even after this, I think I have the advantage.> 23.♕xg6 ♕d4+ 24.♖f2 ♕xe5 25.♗d5 ♕e7 26.♖e2 <perhaps ♘e4, simply threatening to strike on f6, would have been better> ♕d7 27.♖e6 ♕f7 28.♕f5 ♖e8 29.♖xf6?? <a gross blunder while very low on time> ♕xf6 0-1 |

| Jun-19-06 | | KingG: <pyryk> Nice game! It's just a shame you were in time trouble at the end, and couldn't find the winning moves. The last move in particular was tragic. I have a few comments if you want them:
1.e4 e5 2.f4 Qh4+ 3.g3 Qe7 4.d3 Nc6 5.Nf3 d6 6.Bg2 Nf6 7.0–0 h6 8.Be3 Be6 9.Nc3 g6 10.f5!?<another possibility was 10.d4!?> 10...gxf5 11.exf5 Bd7!<11...Bxf5 12.Nh4 Be6 13.Nf5 looks very dangerous for Black> 12.d4?!<the idea was good, but Black had a strong reply> 12...Bg7?!<12...e4! 13.Nd2 d5, and i think Black is better> 13.Qd2 Ng4?!<Again 13...e4!? was probably better, but it wasn't as strong this time because White could reply 14.d5!, but it was still ok for Black> 14.Rae1<14.Nd5 looks good as well> 14...Nxe3 15.Rxe3 f6?!<it's difficult to be too critical of this move, because Black's position was horrible anyway. The best i can find for Black is 15...Bxf5 16.Nxe5 dxe5 17.Bxc6+ bxc6 18.Rxf5 0-0 19.dxe5, where Black may have some chances to draw, although i doubt it> 16.Nh4 Qd8 17.Qd1?!<the immediate 17.Ng6! looks crushing 17...Rh7 18.dxe5 dxe5 19.Qd5 Ne7 20.Nxe7 Kxe7 21.Qxb7  , the text move potentially lets Black off the hook> 17...Ne7?<missing his chance, after 17...0–0! White is obviously still better, but Black can still fight. If 18.dxe5 Nxe5, then Black has the two bishops and a strong knight on d5, which gives him some compensation, even after 19.Bxb7 Rb8 20.Bd5+> <At this point, White plays really well>
18.dxe5 dxe5 19.Qh5+ Kf8 20.Rxe5!! Be8<as you said, this should have been played as soon as you saw it, 20...fxe5?? 21.f6 , and Black is dead meat, but obviously it's not so easy OTB> 21.Ng6+ Nxg6 22.fxg6 Bxg6 23.Qxg6 Qd4+ 24.Rf2?! [24.Kh1] 24...Qxe5 25.Bd5 Qe7 26.Re2?!<26.Ne4 > 26...Qd7 27.Re6 Qf7 28.Qf5 Re8 29.Rxf6?? <This is a real shame, almost any other rook move was winning, 29.Re2, Re3 and Re4 all won, since the queen is lost> 29...Qxf6 0-1 All in all, a very interesting game. |
|
| Jun-19-06 | | pyryk: <KingG> Thanks for the commentary. About 12..e4!, I had thought about it during the game but I thought I could play 13. d5. That move is of course just losing now that I look at it. |
