REFINE SEARCH:   White wins (1-0) | Black wins (0-1) | Draws (1/2-1/2)

May-16-04    Minor Piece Activity: This has a really bad win percentage, but I hear that it's considered deadly. Is it overrated? I don't play 1. d4, but I do play the Dutch. =D May-16-04    Lawrence: <MPA>, I don't see that A82 and A83 are all that bad. Jun-13-04    Bad Star: Opening of the day. Theoretically the Staunton Gambit leads to equality, I think. That said, it may be one of the strongest answers to the dutch at the club-level where people don't know their theory. Jul-29-05    Giancarlo: I've played against the stauton gambit a few times. If I recall it was dangerous. However I think I had winning numbers against it. To be precise 3 wins, 1 loss, and 3 draws Sep-07-05    admeyer: I did a web search for info on this opening because there are not a whole lot of games in databases and opening books tend to ignore it for the most part. I know it is not the greatest system for black, but it virtually is all you need to play against any of white's most mainline first move choices. I got to it because of my need to avoid the Pirc with black. Against d4 players, my favorite is, 1.d4 d6 2.c4 e5! where I have an excellent record. The only set back was that when I played against tougher opposition, I would too often get: 1.d4 d6 2.e4 and I would go into the Modern which I was never too crazy about. I started looking for early deviations against this and saw the best way out was 2.f5, and although white should retain an opening advantage, the position is more than playable for black. I was then shocked to see so little of this system mentioned anywhere. I am far from a professional player and I have very little time to devote to chess. At this point, I only have time to play online. I don't want to spend what little time I have for the game studying openings and have found a way to tighten-up my repertoire so that I can concentrate more on the middle and end game phases of chess. Sep-07-05    Juan De Pisto: I have seen this some time ago, seems an interesting choice for a gambit player, and after all if a solid player like Staunton played it, then must be not so "unsound". Mar-19-06    WTHarvey: Here is a little collection of winning combinations in the A82 Staunton miniatures: http://www.wtharvey.com/a82.html Oct-31-06    GeauxCool: Five Chapters of Info, annotated games, on this opening Part 1 http://www.chessville.com/UCO/TRNT/...

Nov-27-08    refutor: inspired by Keith Hayward's analysis (linked to by GeauxCool above, although i found them separately) i have been taking up 1.d4 f5 2.e4 d6 as a way to decline the Staunton gambit and it's fun for blitz. i'm sure that rybka would rip me up but tartakower gave it a go (by transposition admittedly, but declining the lisitsin gambit which is another interesting try) so it can't be completely terrible :) Bogoljubov vs Tartakower, 1936 Sep-28-10    rapidcitychess: Opening of the day. 2...e6 is the only alternetive to the main line and is deemed inferior. I belieave the reason is that the fatal diagonal has been weakened, and the same can be said of the light squares. This also can happen in the Staunton gambit accepted, but at least black has a pawn for his/her troubles. Sep-28-10    ughaibu: 2....d6 is known as Balogh's defence. Kind of obviously, 2....e6 isn't the "only alternative". Sep-29-10    rapidcitychess: <ughaibu> I meant 2...d6, but 2...e6 seems suspicious. May-07-20    freeman8201: hey anyone else picking this ancient gambit line since the leela and stockfish game? I am more familiar with the 2. Nc3, 3. Bg5 set up. Got to study up this line.
