[@apeiro3810]

Halloween gambit in a nutshell: You take my knight and your pieces will never have an ounce of sleep.

[@dinonuggiesguy4847]

Kings gambit also have this hardcore feeling of tactical warfare except you don't sacrifice a knight (in most cases) but engage in f file bullying and every single person will have a different way of dealing with it so it's always fun and you also can do it in the 2nd move which is cool

[@Foxtrot6624]

Vienna gambit >>> , I’m 1600 and the amount of times I get this exact position but with both knights is ridiculous, people LOVE decling the gambit and developing the knight , all you have to do is take e6 and they walk themselves into this every single time

[@SdoubleA]

@@Foxtrot6624 Yeah Vienna gambit with the Nc6 defence is already completely dominating

[@thexdude]

King's Gambit, for me, only really works when they don't run the Falkbeer Countergambit. Once they do that it just becomes "ugh"

[@greezchum76]

[@seaseb7403]

Muzio Gambit seems crazy but I'm a 1200 and I haven't gotten a person who even knows the mainline despite playing King's Gambit for months so it'll be a while before I get to play the Muzio

This is why I love the Vienna gambit because you essentially get the same thing if they defend with the knight just without sacrificing the knight

[@jaydencheung2331]

Agreed and it's much more practical as you can still play the Vienna if the opponent doesn't play into the Gambit

[@theascendingleague8485]

very true

[@milesking3897]

Accepting the gambit is completely inaccurate, idk why people accept it lol. Do you Vienna players still gambit against a symmetrical? Or do you go for a bc4 bc5 qg4 thing? Btw this is coming from a Catalan/grünfeld/Réti/petrov player.

[@aarusharya5658]

Even though this is your first video, its the best opening tutorial video. Super concise.

[@influentia1patterns]

There’s a variation of this called 4 knights Gunsberg Variation where you move pawn to a3 hoping they develop the bishop in which case you then take the pawn and sacrifice the knight only to bring two pieces into forking range. So your pawn move forks both pieces and you win a piece back and end up similar position. Magnus used it when he was 9 but his opponent declined the bishop to c5 so he ended up with a position more similar to Halloween gambit

[@milesking3897]

I calculated that I my head just now, isn’t that just allowing a -0.1 or so advantage after d5? That can prolly just be drawn by black.
