Apr-07-04 | | ruylopez900: *** The King's Gambit Accepted has been cosen as an opening during the thematic tournament of the FANTASY TOURNAMENT POLL in early 2004 *** |
|
May-05-04 | | tacticsjokerxxx: yesterday I played the line:
1. e4-e5, 2. f4-exf4, 3. Nf3-g5, 4.Bc4-Nc6, 5.0-0 - g4. There aren't any games here in which black plays 5.-g4, does anyone know why? what's wrong with this move?
he didn't even dare retreat his knight (the only free square is e1) so he played d4 and gambited it instead. |
|
May-05-04 | | pawntificator: tactics, there is a common line of the kings gambit where white sacrifices the knight in order to double queen and rook on the f- file and, along with the bishop on c4, initiate a pretty strong attack on the king. I take it you were black in the game? Did you manage to win? |
|
May-05-04 | | pawntificator: tactics....here, follow this line in the explorer...
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. Bc4 g4 5. O-O gxf3 |
|
May-10-04 | | tacticsjokerxxx: pawn > In the line you posted white wins 70%(!) according to the opening explorer, that's quite interesting. In the game I played last week he actually played 6.d4-gxf3 7.Rxf3 (not Qxf3), and that turned out to be quite good as well. the game continued 7.-Bg7 8.Bxf5
at this point I didn't play 8.Bxd4+ (and 9.Bxb2, winning the rook) because I calculated that it would lead to a draw (through perpetual check), so I played 8.Qe7 (so he couldn't sacrifice his bishop at f7). Ultimately I lost, I tried to counter-attack and ending up stalling. when I analysed the game on my computer later it seems like the only way black can win is through correct defensive play until the endgame, not really my style, playing the king's gambit as black isn't my style either but I like to try different openings sometimes, even if I end up losing a point in doing so, I usually play c5 or Nf6 against e4. |
|
Jul-17-04 | | rochade18: <pawntificator> This line you talk about is the Muzio gambit. I always play 4.h4 (which is called Allgaier or so?) that's why I never play the Muzio, but it must be good in blitz games. I think I began to play the King's Gambit only because of this line but somehow I liked 4.h4 even more afterwards. |
|
Oct-06-04 | | morphy234: I LOVE the Muzio Gambit!! it's sooo good!! |
|
Jan-08-05 | | drukenknight: A disaster in the Rosentretter. This seems to be the correct ECO code for this version of KGA, since the original Bowdler game is classed here but I cant find out previous discussion about the Rosentretter, anyhow: 1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 g5
4. d4 Qe7
5. Bd3 (up to here it follows that Bowdler game from 1794) 5...g4 (the novetly)
6. Ne5 Qh4+
7. Kf1 d6
8. g3? (apparently Nc4 is better)
8...fxg3
9. Qe1 Qh3+
10. Ke2 g2
11. Rg1 dxe5
12. Qg3 Qxg3
13. hxg3 exd4 and 0-1 eventually |
|
Jan-13-05 | | drukenknight: Another Kings gambit miniature w/ early Bc4 (similar to Rosentretter). I keeping getting the black side of this on ICC and this one is very interesting, you really have to see the computer scoring on the crap computer through the line. Okay first here are the moves w/o annotation: 1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 g5
4. Bc4 Qe7
5. d3 Nf6
6. Nxg5 d5
7. Bb3 Bg4
8. Nf3 dxe4
9. dxe4 Nxe4
10. O-O Qc5+
11. Qd4 Bxf3
12. Qxc5 Bxc5+
13. Kh1 ...and 0-1
Okay think about that for a minute or two...
Recalling the moves, I know at one part I thought I had played the ultimate move with the queen check but someonehow it got blocked, I kept trying to recreate this game w/ white's QB having taken the pawn on f4. I put the moves into the crap pc and first it suggests 10...Nd7 w/ score of +0.17 (slight favoring of white) THen after white's 11th move, it says the score is -3.14! A huge leap in black's favor. I go back to move 10 and now it suggests ...Qc5+ w/ score of -2.6! Oh sure chesslab computer after I've done the hard part!! What's up with that anyhow? This is on the free program at chesslab.com so anyone can plug these moves in and see for themselves. |
|
Jan-14-05 | | drukenknight: Another mess up in the KGA. Again these people on ICC are playing the quiet Bc4 it must be some sort of trend; he was pretty strong so these moves may be interesting to look at; he made a huge error and I glitched... 1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 g5
4. Bc4 Qe7
5. Qe2 g4
6. Nd4 Nc6
7. Nf5 Qc5
8. d4 Nxd4
9. Nxd4 Qxd4
10. Bxf4 Bd6
11. c3 Qc5
12. b4 Qh5
13. Bxd6 cxd6
14. O-O Nh6
15. Nd2 O-O
16. h3 a5
17. Bd5 Ra6
it's almost level now but black overlooked the Qxb2 |
|
Jan-20-05 | | drukenknight: It must be Rosentretter week on ICC. Everyone and their mother seems to be playing this on me on icc; and now some decent player are actually trying to sack the B and treat like a Muzio or something, so far I am holding my own such as this one: 1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 g5
4. Bc4 Qe7
5. O-O Qc5+
6. d4 Qxc4
7. Nxg5 Be7
8. Bxf4 Bxg5
9. Bxg5 Nc6
10. d5 Ne5
11. b3 Qc5+
12. Kh1 h5
try sticking the moves on a computer program, the crap pc seems to gagging on it. |
|
Jan-20-05 | | drukenknight: But now look at this line, which is the same B sack line with a different white 7th move, and somehow I mess this up as black and get a problem on the long black diagonal; 1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 g5
4. Bc4 Qe7
5. O-O Qc5+
6. d4 Qxc4
7. Nbd2 Qa6
8. Nxg5 Be7
9. Ndf3 Qf6
10. e5 Qf5
11. Nh3 |
|
Jan-20-05 | | Skylark: Okay... The Double Muzio is probably the best way to go about the Muzio: Shirov, A - Lapinski, J Daugavpils, 1990
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. Bc4 g4 5. O-O gxf3 6. Qxf3 Qf6 7. e5! Qxe5 8. Bxf7+! Kxf7 9. d4 Qxd4+ (a better try is 9. ... Qf5, but still strong for white) 10. Be3 Qf6 11. Bxf4 Ke8 12. Nc3 Nc6 13. Nd5 Qg6 14. Rae1+ Be7 15. Bd6 Kd8 16. Qf8+ Bxf8 17. Bxc7# 1-0 The problem with 4. Bc4 is that it is commonly replied to with 4. ... Bg7! (eg 5. h4 h6 6. d4 d6 7. c3 Nc6 8. O-O Bg4 9. Qb3 Na5 10. Bxf7+ Kf8 11. Qa3 Kxf7 12. Qxa5 Bxf3 13. Rxf3 c5 =) which allows black to equalise; this is the chief reason why 4. h4! is the main line nowadays. <rochade18> The Allgaier is a somewhat skeptical f7 gambit (which I play btw :D) that goes 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. h4 g4 5. Ng5!? h6 6. Nxf7 Kxf7. It hasn't been refuted yet, and black has to play very precisely to escape the threats; sometimes (often) he doesn't! Better for black is the safe 5. ... Nf6. I'd give lines but Tim Harding has already done so: http://www.chesscafe.com/text/kibit...
Yeah... I'm going to disappear again now, I promise. :( |
|
Jan-22-05 | | drukenknight: Here is another quick one out of that Rosentretter whatever. The guy must have been ready for it, since he used about 30 sec. for his first 10 moves. I tried a different move for blacks 9th and well...you'll see. 1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 g5
4. Bc4 Qe7
5. O-O Qc5+
6. d4 Qxc4
7. Nxg5 Be7
8. Bxf4 Bxg5
9. Bxg5 Qb5?!
10. Nc3? QxB and eventually 0-1 |
|
Jan-27-05 | | drukenknight: Bust your computers nuts in the Rosentretter. THis is that same stupid line where the white player doesnt know how to play and he sacks his B on c4 after 00. So I play my new move and the human player comes up with a better move than the crap pc did. Check out this line: 1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 g5
4. Bc4 Qe7
5. O-O Qc5+
6. d4 Qxc4
7. Nxg5 Be7
8. Bxf4 Bxg5
9. Bxg5 Qb5
10. Qf3 Qc4
11. Rf2 d6
12. d5 f5
13. exf5 Qd4
14. c3 Qg7
15. Qh5+ Kf8
16. Nd2 Nd7
what do your computers give for white's 10th and for black's 12th? is this line really holdable? |

Oct-07-05 | | suenteus po 147: Okay, I've started playing the King's Gambit online in the past week. So far I have had good results against varying opponents, but I thought this game I played yesterday was an especially nice one. If anyone has time to spare on analysis, where my opponent or I could have improved, and what I did well (if anything), I would greatly appreciate it. Event: Yahoo! Chess Game

Oct-07-05 | | azaris: <suenteus po 147> If all Black players opted for awful rubbish like 5...Qf6?, the King's Gambit would be rehabilitated in no time. |

Jan-06-06 | | DeepBlade: <suenteus po 147>
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. Bc4 d6 5. O-O Qf6 6. d4 c6 7. Nc3 b5 8. Bb3 Bg4 9. h3 Bxf3 10. Rxf3 h5 11. h4 Nd7 12. hxg5 Qxg5 13. Bxf4 Qg6 14. Bh2? (Too passive) h4?? 15. Bxf7+! Qxf7 16. Rxf7 Kxf7 17. Qf3+ Ke8 18. Rf1 Ngf6 19. e5 dxe5(Consider 20.Bxe5+) 20. dxe5 Nd5 21. Nxd5! cxd5 (22.e6!) 22. Qf7+ Kd8 23. Qxd5 Bc5+ 24. Kh1 Kc7 25. e6+ Kb6 26. exd7 Rad8 27. Rf6+ Ka5 28. Bc7+ (28. Qxc5 Rxd7 29. Qa3#) 28... Ka4 29. Ra6+ (29. Qb3#) 29...Kb4 30. c3# 1-0
Regular internet match to me, nothing special. Some missed mate's, but I have to admit, nice spotted; the 15.Bxf7 move. Your opponent was very under-developed, making reckless Queen moves in the opening for example. In the middlegame you exploited this advantage really good, you developed while attacking the Queen! After such advantage, checkmate is only a few moves ahead. |
|
Jan-06-06 | | DeepBlade: The Double Muzio is really fun to play!
I have some games (appox 5) in the Double Muzio theme. I will post them when I find them. |
|
Jan-07-06 | | DeepBlade: <drunkenknight> My pc gives 10.Qh5, this move equalizes the game.
As Black's 12th move it gives f5, just like in the line given by you. <<drunkenknight>Is this line really holdable?> Well White has great advantage. Look at the variation on the 14th move; 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. Bc4 Qe7 5. O-O Qc5+ 6. d4 Qxc4 7. Nxg5 Be7 8. Bxf4 Bxg5 9. Bxg5 Qb5 10. Qf3 Qc4 11. Rf2 d6 12. d5 f5 13. exf5 Qd4 14. c3 <(14. f6 Nxf6 15. Bxf6 Bg4 16. Qg3 Qd1+ 17. Rf1 Qxf1+ 18. Kxf1 Rg8 19. Qe3+ Kf7 20. Qf4 Rg6 21. Bg5+)> 14... Qg7 15. Qh5+ Kf8 16. Nd2 Nd7 <17. Ne4> <The key battle square is f6, you might want to double up your Rooks> A little sidenote, THIS is the Rosentreter variation of the KGA, Muzio 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. d4 Nc6 |
|
Jan-15-06
 | | sisyphus: sisyphus: <pawntificator> is mixed up. The line <tacticsjokerxxx> played -- 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. Bc4 Nc6 -- is the Blachly Gambit. It's hard for White to get any advantage, and I believe it's superior to 4.... g4. After 4.... Nc6 5. O-O g4 6. d4? gxf3 the best White can do is 7. Qxf3, after which 7.... Nxd4 keeps him busy. After 7. Rxf3 Bg7 8. Bxf4 Bxd4+ 9. Kh1 going after the rook is suicidal. 9.... d6 preserves the advantage. |
|
May-24-06 | | DeepBlade: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. Bc4 g4 5. O-O gxf3 6. Qxf3 Nc6 7. d4 Nxd4 8. Qxf4

|
Sep-18-06 | | think: Question: Who is Muzio (I assume the muzio gambit is named after a person). He has no games in the database. |
|
Sep-18-06 | | soughzin: For someone playing e5 rated around...1700 lets say, do you think it would be overambitious to play 2...fxg and 3...g5 to the King's Gambit? It seems like the modern, or falkbeer with 3.c6 or 3.e4 is the more "efficient" choice. |
|
Sep-26-06 | | moppa: I found an interesting gambit line for black from gameknot.com database and gave it a shot and won a 2000+ GK-ELo player in 17 moves. So, here's the game: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. ♘f3 g5 4. ♗c4 g4 5. ♘e5 ♕h4+
This is slightly unusual line, I thought he would play the Muzio.
6. ♔f1 ♘c6!?
White now has a chance to win a rook. However, a knight in h8 can be picked quite easily afterwards and exchange is hardly enough for four tempi!  click for larger view. ♘xf7 7...♗c5 8. ♕e1 <to prevent mate> 8...g3 9. ♘xh8 ♗f2 10. ♕d1 ♘f6 <The knight is on it's way to g4 and h2+> 11. ♘c3 ♘g4 12. ♘d5? <white simply hasn't got time for this.> 12...♘xh2+ 13. ♔e2 d6!  click for larger view |
