Originally posted by alexstclaireJudging by my current record with the KG on RHP (see profile) I'd say that is the best gambit for me. However, I have a couple losses coming with it, and find that other gambits are quite good, but none of them offer the excitement of the KG.
the smith morra gambit is quite effective, it has been played by Tal, i know.
I usually don't play many gambits, but there are some i like: giocco piano moller attack(this one isn't a good idea for cc chess), the two knights max langeGame 2319998,the two knights traxler variationGame 2356516 Game 2363288,the two knights/lolli attackGame 2329365 and the evans gambit....as you can see i enjoy the giocco/two knights.I recently tried the bishop gambit and i wasn't happy with the resultGame 2434744, my resignation was premature but i decided i'm taking a break from cc chess.

Are you asking a question, attempting to make a statement, or questioning a comment from somebody?
Originally posted by gambit3Truly solid? Yes. The only truely solid gambit? I doubt it. I score better with the KG then I do with the Benko (or any other opening for that matter), so at the mid 1500 range the KG seems more than solid. Is the Benko incredibly solid? Yes. Is there enough compensation for the pawn as far as most players are concerned? Yes.
