| Jun-20-06 | | Nikita Smirnov: I feel that the Danish Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.d4 ed 3.c3) is much more forcing than the Göring Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 ed 4.c3)
ed= e5xd4. |

| Feb-25-07 | | antarney: I would love to play the Scottish Gambit but my opponents sometimes play 2...Nf6. How can i transpose into my beloved Scottish Gambit ?
Any suggestions anyone. |

 | | Open Defence: <antarney> One way is by 1e4 e5 2Nf3 Nf6 3Nc3 and now if 3..Nc6 4d4 transposing into the 4 Knights variation of the Scotch Opening... however this is different from the sequence 1e4 e5 2Nf3 Nc6 3d4 exd4 4Bc4 hope this helps.... note in the first line I gave above.. Black can try alternate moves on move 3 like 3..Bb4 for example.. which in fact is a line I often use when White tries an anti Petrov hehehe |

| Mar-19-07 | | gambitfan: I juste enrolled in a "thematic" chess tournament about Center Game at playchess.de : http://www.playchess.de/tournaments... up to now, I am the only one enrolled!
Come along... |

| Mar-06-09 | | FiveofSwords: my personal solution to all these danishesque gambit is simply to play like this: 1 e4 e5 2 d4 ed 3 c3 Qe7!. Now you simply wait until either white moves his queenside knight, when you take on c3, or until he plays cd, when you take on e4. 4 Nf3 Qxe4+ 5 Be2 d3 is fine for black. In general I get a position where im up a pawn and really my development is not worse than white's. Its more akward and difficult for white than it would appear to take advantage of the queen on e4 because on Nc3 Bb4 is coming, etc. |
|
| Mar-06-09 | | FiveofSwords: <Antarney> im not sure i follow ou. the typical way to a scotch gambit is with 2 Nf3 not 2 d4. But it bothers you when black plays 2...Nf6 vs 2 d4? I suppose he could also avoid the scotch gambit by playing 2...Qg5 |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | chessman95: <FiveofSwords> After 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 Qe7 white can just play 4.Qxd4 and have the advantage. (after 4...Nc6 then 5.Qe3 and white has slight advantage, although deprived of the position he was probably expecting.) |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | blacksburg: 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 d5 is all the theory i know about that line, and it works out pretty well for me as black. |
|
| Mar-07-09 | | chessman95: I usually take the second pawn on c3, but that's it. I have found it too dangerous to take all three pawns and give white an incredible lead in development. However, if black can somehow magically stop the "unstopable" attack, then he will easilly win in the endgame. |
|
| Mar-08-09 | | problem: danish gambit is very dangerous opening for white!
|
|
| Mar-08-09 | | chessman95: I would say the Danish Gambit is more dangerous for black than it is for white. |
|
| Mar-14-09 | | FiveofSwords: 1e4 e5 2 d4 ed 3 c3 Qe7 4 Qxd4 Nc6 5 Qe3 Nf6, with ..d5 coming, looks like a clear advantage for black to me. |

| Aug-24-09 | | vonKrolock: <"They quickly started playing the <<<Northern Gambit>>>, but then everything got mixed up. The grandmaster stared attentively at the board, making small, insignificant moves. Several times, mating paths for the queen flashed before his eyes like lightning, but he extinguished these flare-ups, slightly lowering his eyelids and submitting his sword to the wearisome note of compassion, sounding inside him like the buzzing of a mosquito."> From an <all-chessical> short-story by V. Aksyonov (1932-2009), translated and online here http://www.sovlit.com/victory/ |

| Sep-13-09 | | YoungEd: It's interesting to me to look at Alekhine's use of the Danish Gambit. He seemed to uncork it every now and then throughout his career, though never against real top-level masters. Against lesser lights, Alekhine has a tremendous percentage of miniature wins with the Danish! Sort of surprising that it doesn't see more use today when top masters play lesser opponents. |
|
| Sep-14-09 | | muwatalli: after 1 e4 e5 2 d4 exd4 3nf3 Bb4+ what is white's best continuation? c3 or bd2 and if c3 after dxc3 should white play bxc3 or Nxc3? |

| Jun-03-10 | | Coolin: A few different comments in this post:
I played a blitz game the other day with hopes of trying out a new opening (no idea if it really exists) 1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. f4 My idea was king's gambit-ish, but with less counterplay from black. Of course, after looking at it, 3...Bb4+ seems to make the opening pretty bad. Blocking with the bishop leaves you less protection of f4, and black's pawn on d4 is annoying. Blocking with the knight looks somewhat interesting, and I'll try it out. Anyway, note #2: don't play a game when you are rushed. I had to leave for work in five minutes and play a quick 3/0 game that went as follows: 1. e4 e5
2. d4 (hoping to play my new gambit) f6?
3. dxe5 fxe5
4. Qh5+ g6
5. Qxe5 Qe7
6. Qxh8 Qxe4+
7. Ne7 Nc6
8. Nc3 Qxc2
9. Qxg8 Nb4
10. Qxh7?? Nd3#
So:
any comments on my gambit which I will check out (although initial thoughts look pretty awful) and two rules about playing games:
Don't play when rushed
Don't be greedy when up a rook |

| Oct-09-11 | | jbtigerwolf: There a couple of points on this as a method of playing the Scotch while avoiding the Petroff. Point 1: Black does not have to play 3...Nc6. If I do play 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.Nf3, then if Black plays 3...c5 I'm playing a gambit. 4.Bc4 looks good, but it's 50-50 to me whether this is adequate compensation. I don't think learning the Petroff is the answer, as it appears too hard to bust. It looks suspect, but for some reason it survives and prevention is the best medicine. I know I can play 3.d4, but I'd rather not deal with the whole Petroff thing. Point 2: The thing is, the Scotch is rarely played (so a lot of tourney players won't automatically know the book move 3...exd4) and if Black plays the perfectly natural looking 3...Nxd4, I've got a great game. This option is off the table in the Centre Game - but I avoid the Petroff. Dilemma. |

Qg3 g4 63. Qh2# 1-0 I'm posting this game here because it's a rare opening (More or less unseen at the highest levels of chess) and also it's the first time I can recall playing it as white and winning , and I've only once played against it as black in a game on fics which I lost.
I cheated the first 8 moves because my engine gives opening hints, so I went down this route (after 3.c3) just for a change.
Btw I've never seen 7.Bxf7+ before.
Oh yeah... I know I've dumbed down the engine to 60% strength, but blacks 43rd move looks like a terrible blunder if it was played by a human so I don't get the logic behind that move!! ✌ |

| Mar-23-19 | | Roslind: 1.d4 e5 2.e4 exd4 3.c3 dxc3 4. Nxc3 Bb4 5.Bd2 - I do not find the last white move in the database, but to me it look better to keep the pawn on a+b together if black take the night on c3. |

 | | Dionysius1: Good to see the venerable Danish Gambit is Opening of the Day today. Thank you <Stonehenge> for pointing out this is a good place to discuss the opening.
I have been grumbling on my own forum (click on my icon if you want to see) that there doesn't seem to be a place to discuss each Opening of the Day, on the day. Anyhoo, my other point is that the statistics on this database for White's success at the Danish Gambit are initially very promising for anyone wanting to mug up on it for tournaments and the like. Slightly less so in the last 40 years. I'd hoped to use the results data for some openings as a hint of what to play at the lower end of the tournament scale. But at least for the Danish Gambit there's not a lot of data, and what there is involves much stronger players than I had in mind. So the figures might not be much use. Incidentally (and don't let me distract from talking about the DG) if anyone has a data led approach to opening repertoire that actually works, could you kibitz about it? Maybe on my forum which has a longer post about all this. Cheers! |
