The Danish Gambit is a relatively unsound but very dangerous attacking weapon for white.
Get the Danish Gambit Accepted repertoire here https://app.noctie.ai/repertoires/e4808520-a032-46cf-bd9b-e3fb30e63e88?aff=q9yKD
and the Danish Gambit Declined repertoire here https://app.noctie.ai/repertoires/971f0cb8-9d6b-47d8-b286-54b5155c1e7a?aff=q9yKD

I’ve tried to create a simple guide on how to play the Danish Gambit with white, showing the tricks and traps Black could easily fall into, and I’ve also given the optimal way for Black to fight against the Danish Gambit.

I’ve imported two repertoires on the Danish Gambit on Noctie. Follow the links and try them out!
