The King’s Gambit is the epitome of romantic chess – an aggressive pawn sacrifice which leads to beautiful attacking games.
As opposed to “normal” openings, such as the Ruy Lopez, where white responds to e5 calmly, slowly building up central pressure, in the King’s Gambit white wastes no time and undermines black’s central control on the second move with the ultra-aggressive f4!
The move, even though it creates clear weaknesses around the white king, has a clear idea in mind – expanding in the center without the e5 pawn being in the way. F4 removes the defender of the d4 square, which means that if black accepts the gambit, white will eventually be able to expand and control the key central squares.
But… black is a pawn up. Black will often try to hold on to the pawn (g5 being the most common continuation) and the game usually leads to middlegames where black still has all eight pawn. Furthermore, black gets an open road to white’s king. The key e1 diagonal to the king is weakened by the absence of the f2 pawn, and black often manages to exploit that to create an attack.
The King’s Gambit is a complex opening. It’s no longer a romantic pawn sacrifice with which the player with white tries to prove superiority over the board. The theory has developed significantly, and many strong grandmasters have employed it with success. There are numerous theory-heavy variations which you have to know.
If you play e4, the King’s Gambit could surely be a valuable addition to your opening repertoire since very few players will be expecting it and almost none of them will be well versed in its theory.
The series will consist of 9 videos, each covering one key variation in depth. Here are the variations which I will be covering in the series:
2...exf4
3.Bc4 Bishop's Gambit
3.Nf3
3...g5 Main Line
3...d6 Fischer Defense
3...d5 Modern Defense
3...Be7 Cunningham Defense
3...Ne7 Bonsch-Osmolovsky Variation
3...h6 Becker Defense
2...Bc5 King's Gambit Declined, Classical
2...d5 Falkbeer Countergambit
