A proper kings gambit attack


Yesterday, I posted a rather lame King Gambit Game I played. Today, to properly honor Blue Devil Knight who has become a baying-at-the-moon-head-banging-frothing-at-the-mouth 2 knights counterattacker , I'll post a proper King Gambit game which I played this morning. I was pleased with the killer bishop pair and the build up of the attack on the castled king . BDK welcome to the club 8)
cut and paste game into the Pgn view on side bar. Note :position is with white to move.

    Hey Tak - Congrats on the win. I'm having trouble with the PGN game viewer. I've tried twice to cut and paste the game into the viewer, but for some reason it only advances the moves as far as black's 4th move and then stops. I'll have to put this in fritz when I get home.

    You always suggest to use the pgn-viewer in your sidebar. But that doesn't work. And Arena doesn't understand it either. What program do you use to look at it?

    There is a simple trick to making it work, I automatically do it so I never think others may have problems. When you cut and paste only cut and paste the game itself not the header info. In other words,start from 1.e4, this should work.

    Tempo, since I play on playchess the games are automatically saved by Fritz. It is saved in CBH format.

    Well, I already did that, but your games start always with 1.d4 instead of 1.e4. Very strange.

    tempo's right. This was a king's gambit that transposed into a queen's gambit. What's the matter Tak? Becoming a lady's man? :oD

    Nice games.

    I tried it tonight and got destroyed very fast.

    I'm thinking this will have to begin when I have more time.

    CL and BDK,

    I found the kings gambit takes a little while to play before having success. There are wide ranges of play from black in terms of defenses and counterplay. The ideas and playing style can be very diverse from game to game. There are alot of games,history, theory,correct and incorrect sacks which are great fun to play.
    It does take some time to absorb some of the theory behind it. Have patience,toy around with it and you will find it's play to be a great source of fun.


    If you are ever on Playchess I am sure both Cratercat or I would be glad to give you a game and discuss it afterwards.

    I had a chance to look at Gallagher and his suggestions were 4 c3 (with caution) and 4 bc4. I think I continue to play c3 with caution. Tempo I appreciate your thoughts. I hope to read winning w KG on summer vacation again.
