 | | cu8sfan: <books on the king's gambit> I liked Joseph G Gallagher 's <Winning with the King's Gambit> and Neil R McDonald 's <The King's Gambit>. Both concentrate on 3.Nf3 so if you want to play 3.Bc4 these may not be books you want to consider. |
|
| Dec-23-04 | | drukenknight: Hey speaking of Kings gambit and endgames, this one that arises out of one of the KG variations we were discussing; the one w/ h4 and ...Bg7; you might enjoy this... Lutikov vs Furman, 1959 |
|
| Dec-23-04 | | RisingChamp: hey refutor a long time ago,you said you would see the Muzio at GM level if it was sound,firstly that is not at all evident.Secondly it has been successfully used at GM level example Fedorov vs Adams(!) |
|
| Dec-28-04 | | refutor: <rising champ> how long ago? also, even though it was in my collection, i couldn't remember seeing that game before Fedorov vs Adams, 1997 is a guy not allowed to change his opinion? :) and technically, that is not the muzio but rather a rosentreter gambit (4.d4 rather than 4.Bc4). i play the muzio as white whenever possible so i'm not going to give anything away, but there was definitely some improvements for black in the opening there :) |
|
| Jan-05-05 | | ArturoRivera: oh, sorry, i didnt knew it was for chapters, i tought only three games were avaliable as notable for each opening. |
|
| May-22-05 | | johnqwoodpusher: Has anyone ever seen a line like this...?
1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf5
3. Nf3 g5
4. h4 g4
5. Ng5 Nh6!?
I played e5 on move 6. AFAIC, there are no games in the database in which Nh6 has been played, but it seems like an interesting move to me. It protects g4 and f7, so that the classic knight sacrifice on f7 is no longer feasible. I played e5 because it seemed to me I needed somewhere for my knight to go, and e4 seemed like the only place...Thoughts...? |
|
| May-22-05 | | azaris: <johnqwoodpusher> 6.d4 looks possible, targeting the pawn on f4 and x-raying the knight on h6. For example 6...f6?! 7.Bxf4 and now 7...fxg5 8.Bxg5 Be7 9.Bxh6 evens up the score. |
|
| May-22-05 | | johnqwoodpusher: Ah, yes, that's good. :-) |

|
| Mar-28-06 | | DeepBlade: <WTHarvey> Great, you also have winning combo's in paricular openings, thank you very much! |
|
| Apr-23-06 | | kkg2225: I remember Fischer refuting kings gambit by black playing ...d3 to stop white's Ne5. Does anyone has his complete analysis? |
|
| Apr-23-06 | | ganstaman: <kkg2225> There is discussion and a link from this game: Spassky vs Fischer, 1960 to his 'refutation,' which is here: http://www.angelfire.com/games/SBCh... <johnqwoodpusher> I like to play a slightly different variation (it may be well known, but I don't have any books on the KG and since I'm not a royal member I can only go so far with the OE). 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. h4 g4 5. Ne5 h5 6. Bc4 Nh6 and 7...d6. I've played that twice so far and won in under 20 moves both times. My opponents did make mistakes, but I think black is fine anyway. I also like to try to get in a ...Be6 at some point. Either white moves his B from c4, which takes pressure off of me, or white plays Bxe6, allowing ...fxe6 (and this takes off pressure and gives me my e-pawn back), or white plays d5 if he played d4 previously (and this locks us the center a little bit, giving me time to catch up in development. In fact, I find that in almost any variation of the KGA, ...Be6 is a great move for those same 3 reasons. It's why I've decided to respond to 1.e4 with 1...e5 -- I just love playing against the KG and being able to get in ...Be6! |
|
| Apr-23-06 | | ganstaman: Oh, by the way, my favorite 2 lines from Fischer's article, showing just how strongly he felt about the KG being busted: "At Mar Del Plata, 1959, I played 3...P-KN4 against Spassky, but this is inexact because it gives White
drawing chances in the ensuing ending"
"Of course White can always play differently, in which case he merely loses differently." |
|
| Apr-23-06 | | ganstaman: I should also mention that I played black in these lines, in case it wasn't clear. <1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 g5 4. h4 g4 5. Ne5 h5 6. Bc4 Nh6 and 7...d6.> Also, I think the same idea works against 5. Ng5, but I haven't tried it out yet. |
|
| Oct-01-06 | | Doktorn: 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.h4 Be7 5.hxg5 Bxg5
Can someone explain to me why blacks position is bad and what move white should play here. Euwe claims 6. g3! and doesn´t elaborate, I guess misprint. |
|
| Oct-01-06 | | Kean: hmm, yes bxg5, g3, euwe is right, yes |
|
| Oct-01-06 | | Doktorn: Ok, but why? Can you show me a line or two on what follows? |
|
| Oct-01-06 | | Kean: dont take me serious, i was just bluffing :)
i play sometimes the kg, in many lines, but frankly i have never seen this one with Bxg5 and g3. though g3 is an old move wich opens h, remember that from anderssen games |
|
| Oct-01-06 | | sneaky pete: <Doktorn> In the original Dutch version of his opening manual Euwe recommends 6.d4 .. with g3 .. to follow. Black has no decent moves and white will at least recover the gambit pawn while keeping a central pawn preponderance. 6.Bc4 .. as played once by Blackburne also gives white an advantage. |
|
| Nov-24-07 | | bystander: At the moment, I am looking at the
Kieseritsky variation.
After <1.e4 e5 2. f4 ef4x 3. Nf3 g5
4. h4 g4 5. Ne5 Qe7> I cannot find anything attractive for white, for example:
<6. d4 d6 7. Kg4x Qe4x+ 8. Qe2 Qe7> or <6. Kg4x Qe4x+ 7. Qe2 d5>In both cases, I think black has better play (  ). Any improvements for white after 5..Qe7? |
|
| Nov-24-07 | | sneaky pete: <bystander> Maybe you should improve your evaluation. After 6.d4 d6 7.Nxg4 Qxe4+ 8.Qe2 Qe7 (or 8... d5) 9.Nf2 .. I would prefer white. Black doesn't even maintain his extra pawn. After 8... d5 Steinitz played 9.Ne5 Nh6 10.Nc3 Bb4 11.Qxe4 dxe4 12.Bxf4 .. (1-0,33) against Lord Randolph Churchill (from an 1870 Oxford blind simul, not in this database). |
|
| Nov-27-07 | | bystander: <sneaky pete, nov-24-07> <after 1.e4 e5 2. f4 ef4x 3. Nf3 g5 4. h4 g4 5. Ne5 Qe7 6. d4 d6 7. Kg4x Qe4x+ 8. Qe2 Qe7 9 Nf2 I would prefer white> 9...Nc6 10. c3
I)10....Bd7/Be6 11. Bf4x O-O-O
II) 10..Bh6 11. Nd3 Bf5
I think, black has finished the opening without too many difficulties.And if you play king's Gambit, you aim to challange your opponent. The positions are interesting (remind me a little bit of the Petrov), but in my opinion with slightly better changes for black. |

"Kieseritzky Gambit: A Patient Novelty"
Recent works on the King’s Gambit prefer the modern interpretation <6.d4> in the Kieseritzky Gambit (after 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.h4 g4 5.Ne5 Nf6). ... http://www.chesscafe.com/kaissiber/... |
|
| Jan-13-09 | | WhiteRook48: I don't think 4. h4 is really a gambit. |
|

 | | GrahamClayton: The 5...h5 variation of the Kieseritsky Gambit is known as the "Long Whip". Does anyone know how this variation received such an unusual name? |
