I notice that King gambit is particulary good for quick kills, especially if your opponent is not too strong, because opens the f file which rook quickly occupies with 0-0


Game 4553535

Any similar quick games ?

I knew I'd seen a book about this somewhere - Bill Wall wrote "500 King's Gambit miniatures". Here are 100 of them:

And here's one of Bill's own: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1078409
Lots of classic King's Gambit ideas in this one.

He, I just played this one on RHP blitz. It was a 3 0 game and I was pretty surprised about this King gambit second move but then I understood that he played the move like in Fred defense, when black is doomed if he doesn't bring his Nf6 out on the very next move ..

This is some nasty King gambit/Fred defense variation 😛

Nice one, it is hard to finish game that quick with 2. Nf3 even from weak players...
