I've tried a few different opening as White to maybe Improve my game and found that playing an Opening called the Irish Gambit Works best for me, It goes
1.E2-E4.....E7-E5
2.Ng1-f3.....Nb8-c6
3.Nxe5...Nxe5
4.d2-d4
What does everyone think of this Opening, If it could be bad in the Future of the Game or that it could Help me by controlling the center even though I'm already down in Piece Value.
Originally posted by ouwe belgWell the Truth is its an Extremely Weak opening, but I'm always trying out new openings see how they turn out, Yes I actually have played the Halloween Gambit hundreds of times, I wanted to really try the Irish gambit One because I'm Irish from Ireland and Two I love how it seems to Throw Average Players off, If I know how the Person plays I normally will play this opening if they're either Imm or a Beg an Advanced Player see's right through it and would Crush me Quickly.
That's like playing an accelerated Halloween gambit!
Intresting idea 🙂

Hmm.
I'm a big fan of gambits & taking the central control early on, but after
1.e4...e5
2.Nf3...Nc6
3.Nxe5?!...Nxe5
4.d4...Ng6
5.Nc3 presumably, then I'd play 5...c6, as ...d5 is threatened, Nc3 will have problems getting into the game & also obviously Bb5 is out, as is Bc4 because ...b5 is now possible.
6.Bd3...Bb4
7.Bd2...N(8)e7
& black is off to a good solid start unless I have made one of my famous analytical cock-ups!
white to play

The Chicago Gambit can not be good at all against anyone decent in chess.
Originally posted by c00ushionPillsbury was one of the forgotten great American GM's, he fits nicely between Morphy and Fischer as one of the "pride and sorrows" of chess. So much talent gone to waste because of personal problems.
