The 3 Best Attacking Openings For White (Part 1)
I am now going to show you the top 3 best attacking openings with the white pieces (in my opinion) these openings all have absolutely crushing attacks which will leave blacks head spinning!
I hope you enjoy this blog and the openings/gambits/variations i am about to share to you!
1.The Alien Gambit
The Alien Gambit, A sub line of the Caro-Kann Defense,Starts with the moves 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nf3 5.Ng4,and if black plays 5...h6 you play 7.Nxf7!!
This may look like a blunder (stock fish thinks it is) but at beginner to intermediate level it works wonders,giving white a 59 percent advantage! (more than any other move in the position!
Key Advantages:
It is extremely hard for black to find the right moves,even Grand Masters have been defeated by it in a couple of moves!
It gives white very easy attacking play,with many,many traps that white can fall into.
Key Tactic:
The move Ne5+ is a universal move in this opening and will be the move that will start your attack
2.Scotch Gambit
The Scotch Gambit is a not so popular sub line of the Scotch game,which starts with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 the most common move here is Nxd4,which leads to the Scotch game,however this time we play Bc4.
The Scotch gambit is a very tricky opening if your playing black,with tons of traps they have to look out for,which even works well at higher levels,as even Grand Masters lose to it.
Key Advantages:
Lots of traps for black to fall into,even if black doesn't fall for them it still gives whit a extremely good attack.
Fairly easy to learn.
Very hard to defend against.
Key Tactic :
The Bxf7+ sacrifice,a key tactic in many lines,another move that is sometimes useful is Qd5,making a battery with the bishop on c4.
3.Danish Gambit
The Danish Gambit starts of With 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 dxc3 4.Bc4 cxb2 5.Bxb2.
Even tho you are 2 points in material down,you get a big advantage in development,and you are ready for a large attack on your opponents castled king,even tho it is considered obsolete,new theory for white has reborn this opening.
Key Advantages :
Quite hard for black to play it right,as many people believe that getting there king to "safety" will make them survive,but this just plays them into your hands.
Very powerful attack,which can crush black in only a short time.
Quick attack,because you have a large advantage in development,this means you will be able to launch your crushing attack in only a few moves.
Key Tactic :
Yet again it is the common move in the Danish Bxf7+ sacrifice,which appears somewhere in nearly all of the Danish Gambits line
