The King’s Gambit – a chess opening from the romantic era of the game that many overlook nowadays. Although not seen regularly at the top level, there are several grandmasters who have added this opening to their repertoire and have found a lot of success with it. These players include Hikaru Nakamura and Nigel Short. Boris Spassky used the King’s Gambit to record a wins against the legend Bobby Fischer, Susan Polgar and even David Bronstein who was something of a King’s Gambit expert.

In this video, IM Valeri Lilov will talk you through some of the ideas in this exciting opening by taking a look at the famous game between Spassky and Fischer. IM Lilov also examines the very exciting game where Alexander Morozevich creatively used the opening to get a win over Vishy Anand!

The King’s Gambit begins with the moves 1. e4 e5 2. f4. White, on the second move, challenges Black’s center and begins an attack on Black’s kingside. Black can choose to accept or decline the gambit but most players choose to accept the gambit and then try to counterattack White’s semi-exposed kingside.

If you’re a creative player who likes looking for wild sacrifices and combinations, in the same vein as the tactics master Mikhail Tal, this opening should suit you to a tee – the good thing about the King’s Gambit is that it is very unpredictable. If your opponent is not familiar with how to defend against it, they can often find themselves in big trouble very early in the game. Most games are blown wide open and are full of exciting and dynamic lines.

If this opening can occasionally take down even the greatest players in the world, you’re bound to find success at the chess club or in your tournaments against most players who haven’t spent the time to analyse it.
