hi today we going to talk our second gambit it call The jerome gambit First off before get into this gambit credit belong to little_guinea_pig who suggest this opening,WIKI WHO SUPPORT INFORMATION I.Introduction 1.Quick note The Jerome gambit similar to the evan gambit(check bobotheflyingsheep67's blog about this gambit),both is in the giuoco Piano opening but they are very different from each others like two kids having the same parent but they are different from each others ok let get in the main point The jerome gambit is a very aggressive just like the halloween gambit we cover last time it also very different from it parent the Giuoco Piano, it start with these following move: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+!? Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 White have sac his knight and his bishop for a mating attack though.The jerome gambit is one of the most expensive gambit it also have a very low chance for mating attack sometime you the one who get mate not black(sidenote:The line is virtually never seen today (and never seen in high-level chess), but was known in the late 19th century.) 2.History quote"The opening is named after Alonzo Wheeler Jerome (1834–1902) of Paxton, Illinois, who had a game with this opening against the problemist William Shinkman published in the Dubuque Chess Journal in 1876.[1] Blackburne wrote of it, "I used to call this the Kentucky opening. For a while after its introduction, it was greatly favoured by certain players, but they soon grew tired of it."[2] Blackburne's name for the opening may have arisen from confusion with 1.e4 e5 2.Qh5, which was also published in the Dubuque Chess Journal and dubbed the "Kentucky Opening" there. In the third edition of the opening treatise Chess Openings, Ancient and Modern (1896), the authors wrote: The Jerome Gambit is an American invention, and a very risky attack. It is described in the American Supplement to Cook's Synopsis as unsound but not to be trifled with. The first player sacrifices two pieces for two pawns, with the chances arising from the adversary's king being displaced, and drawn into the centre of the board.[3] Similarly, du Mont wrote that it "is unsound, but has the saving grace of leading to a lively game and is therefore suitable for an occasional friendly game. The defender cannot afford to be careless."[4] White may regain one of the two sacrificed pieces with 6.d4, but Black retains a decisive material advantage with 6...Bxd4 7.Qxd4 Qf6.[5] More commonly, White plays 6.Qh5+. In that event, Freeborough and Ranken analyzed two lines. One is 6...Kf8 7.Qxe5 Qe7 8.Qf5+ Ke8 9.Nc3 d6 10.Qf3 Qf7 11.Qe2 Nh6 12.0-0 c6, with large advantage to Black.[5] Freeborough and Ranken also analyze the bold 6.Qh5+ Ke6!? ("follow[ing] out Mr. Steinitz's theory that the King is a strong piece") 7.Qf5+ Kd6 8.d4 (or 8.f4 Qf6 9.fxe5+ Qxe5) Bxd4 9.Na3 c6 10.c3 Qf6 11.cxd4 Qxf5 12.exf5 Nf7 13.Bf4+ Ke7, again with a large advantage.[5] A bad line for Black after 6.Qh5+ is 6...Kf6?? 7.Qf5+ Ke7 8.Qxe5+ Kf7 9.Qxc5, regaining both pieces and winning two pawns.[6]" -according to wiki II.How to play the gambit After the sac of you knight and bishop you to take avantage of black's open king with the move 6.Qh5+ 1.The 6.Qh5+ attack 6.Qh5+ which fork the king and the knight now the knight cant block because you lose the bishop white score well in that position because the king is weeken white should now play 7.0-0 now the king dont want to go to e8 or else black lose his knight and if black think he can give you his extra pieces back black will be so week that he will be mate quite soon if black play 6.Kf6 instead he will be more exposed but if black is greedy and want to keep his extra pieces with 6.Ke6 he will will be punish hard with the following move: 6.Qh5+ Ke6 7.Qf5+ Kd6 8.f4! black must give away his knight or bad things will happen to him 8.......Qf6 9.fxe5+ Qxe5+ 10.Qxe5+ Kxe5 and now black is out in open and white should get pawn protected with 11.Nc3and get his king castle with 12.0-0 III.ENDINGS That the gambit hope you like and know how play it It's Quangk(ChessIsChill) signing off (ps: join NARWALS AND GENARAL CHATTERS)

Hello,today I'm going to teach you about the king gambit.first off before jumping in to this.Credit belong to Wiki for supporting information(side note: due to I cant write all the variations and history so i have to copy and paste) I.Introduction 1.Quick note you all should know this gambit already but still we need to go through some quick note about this gambit The king gambit's move is these following move: 1.e4 e5 2.f4 i will explained this in detail later but first let focus on what white want to and what black want to do. In the king gambit white would like to prevent any danger to his king when he move the f pawn and regain his pawn with d4 and Bxc4 and also white want to have a good central control Black on the otherhand would like to take advantage of the weeken white king with move like Bc5 Qh4 and strike back in the center at some point in the game 2.History quote"The King's Gambit was one of the most popular openings for over 300 years, and has been played by many of the strongest players in many of the greatest brilliancies, including the Immortal Game. Nevertheless, players have held widely divergent views on it. François-André Danican Philidor (1726–1795), the greatest player and theoristof his day, wrote that the King's Gambit should end in a draw with best play by both sides, stating that "a gambit equally well attacked and defended is never a decisive [game], either on one side or the other."[3] Writing over 150 years later, Siegbert Tarrasch, one of the world's strongest players in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, pronounced the opening "a decisive mistake" and wrote that "it is almost madness to play the King's Gambit."[4] Similarly, future World Champion Bobby Fischer wrote a famous article, "A Bust to the King's Gambit", in which he stated, "In my opinion the King's Gambit is busted. It loses by force" and offered his Fischer Defense (3...d6) as a refutation.[5][6] FM Graham Burgess, in his book The Mammoth Book of Chess, noted the discrepancy between the King's Gambit and Wilhelm Steinitz's accumulation theory. Steinitz had argued that an attack is only justified when a player has an advantage, and an advantage is only obtainable after the opponent makes a mistake. Since 1...e5 does not look like a blunder, White should therefore not be launching an attack.[7] None of these pronouncements, however, have been proved to be actual refutations of the King's Gambit.[citation needed] In 2012, an April Fool prank by Chessbase in association with Vasik Rajlich—inventor of chess engine Rybka—claimed to have proven to a 99.99999999% certainty that the King's Gambit is at best a draw for White.[8][9] In a later post, owning up to the prank, Rajlich estimated that "we're still probably a good 25 or so orders of magnitude away from being able to solve something like the King's Gambit. If processing power doubles every 18 months for the next century, we'll have the resources to do this around the year 2120, plus or minus a few decades."[10] While the King's Gambit Accepted was a staple of Romantic era chess, the opening began to decline with the rise of positional play in the 1870s, although King's Gambit Declined variants remained popular among high-level players until World War I. By the 1920s, 1.e4 openings declined in popularity with the rise of the hypermodern school, with many players switching to 1.d4 and 1.c4 openings and positional play. After World War II, 1.e4 openings became more popular again, with David Bronstein being the first grandmaster in decades to use the King's Gambit in serious play. He inspired Boris Spassky to also take up the King's Gambit, although Spassky was not willing to risk using the opening in any of his World Championship matches. However, Spassky did beat many strong players with it, including Bobby Fischer,[11] Zsuzsa Polgar,[12] and a famous brilliancy against Bronstein himself.[13] The King's Gambit is rare in modern grandmaster play, and even rarer at the top level.[14] A handful of grandmasters have continued to use it, including Joseph Gallagher, Hikaru Nakamura, Nigel Short, and Alexei Fedorov."-according to Wikipedia II.Variations Here the interesting thing about this gambit it one of those gambit that have variations anyway let get into it Although Black usually accepts the gambit pawn, two methods of declining the gambit—the classical variation (2...Bc5) and the Falkbeer Counter Gambit (2...d5)—are also popular. King's Gambit Accepted: 2...exf4 [edit] If Black accepts with 2...exf4, the two main continuations for White are: 3.Nf3 (King Knight's Gambit) 3.Bc4 (Bishop's Gambit) 3.Nf3 is the most common as it develops the knight and prevents 3...Qh4+. King's Knight's Gambit: 3.Nf3 [edit] Classical Variation: 3...g5 [edit] The Classical Variation arises after 3.Nf3 g5. Black defends his extra pawn, and threatens to kick the f3-knight with ...g4. The main continuations traditionally have been 4.h4 (the Paris Attack), and 4.Bc4. More recently, 4.Nc3 (the Quaade Gambit or Quaade Attack[15]) has been recommended by Scottish grandmaster John Shaw as a less explored alternative to 4.h4 (he considers 4.Bc4 inferior).[16] 4.h4: Kieseritzky Gambit and Allgaier Gambit [edit] After 4.h4 g4 the main line is 5.Ne5, the Kieseritzky Gambit. It was popularized by Lionel Kieseritzky in the 1840s and used successfully by Wilhelm Steinitz. Boris Spassky used it to beat Bobby Fischer in a famous game at Mar del Plata in 1960.[17]This motivated Fischer to develop his own defense to the King's Gambit (see Fischer Defense). 4. h4 g4 5.Ng5 is the Allgaier Gambit,[18] intending 5...h6 6.Nxf7. This knight sacrifice is considered dubious by modern theory. 4.Bc4 g4: Muzio Gambit and others [edit] The extremely sharp Muzio Gambit[19] arises after 4.Bc4 g4 5.0-0 gxf3 6.Qxf3, where White has gambited a knight but has three pieces bearing down on f7.[20] Such wild play is rare in modern chess, but Black must exercise care in consolidating his position. Perhaps the sharpest continuation is the Double Muzio after 6...Qf6 7.e5 Qxe5 8.Bxf7+!?, leaving White two pieces down in eight moves, but with a position that some masters consider to be equal.[21][22] Similar lines are the Ghulam Kassim Gambit, 4.Bc4 g4 5.d4, and the McDonnell Gambit, 4.Bc4 g4 5.Nc3. These are generally considered inferior to the Muzio, which has the advantage of reinforcing White's attack along the f-file. Also inferior is the Lolli Gambit 4.Bc4 g4 5.Bxf7+?!, which leaves White with insufficient compensation for the piece after 5...Kxf7 6.Ne5+ Ke8 7.Qxg4 Nf6 8.Qxf4 d6. The Salvio Gambit, 4.Bc4 g4 5.Ne5 Qh4+ 6.Kf1, is considered better for Black due to the insecurity of White's king. Black may play safely with 6...Nh6, or counter-sacrifice with 6...f3 or 6...Nc6. 4.Bc4 Bg7: Hanstein Gambit and Philidor Gambit [edit] A safer alternative to 4...g4 is 4...Bg7, which usually leads to the Hanstein Gambit after 5.d4 d6 6.0-0 h6 or the Philidor Gambit after 5.h4 h6 6.d4 d6 (other move orders are possible in both cases). 4.Nc3: Quaade Gambit [edit] The Quaade Gambit (3.Nf3 g5 4.Nc3) is named after a Danish amateur who discussed it in correspondence with the Deutsche Schachzeitung in the 1880s.[23] The move has received renewed attention following its recommendation by John Shaw in his 2013 book on the King's Gambit. A well-known trap here is 4...g4 5.Ne5 Qh4+ 6.g3 fxg3 7.Qxg4 g2+? (7...Qxg4 8.Nxg4 d5 is about equal) 8.Qxh4 gxh1=Q 9.Qh5! and White is close to winning. (Black's best defense is considered to be 9...Nh6 10.d4 d6 11.Bxh6 dxe5 12.Qxe5+ Be6 13.Qxh8 Nd7 14.Bxf8 0-0-0 and White will emerge a clear pawn ahead.) Instead, 4...Bg7 has been recommended. 4...d6 and 4...h6 transpose to Fischer's Defense and Becker's Defense, respectively. Also possible is 4...Nc6, recommended by Konstantin Sakaev.[24][25] After 4...Bg7 5.d4 g4, GM Simon Williams advocates 6.Bxf4 gxf3 in his DVD and Chess.com video series.[26] White is down a knight, but has a strong attack. 4.d4: Rosentreter Gambit [edit] This is likely to lead to similar positions to the Quaade Gambit, however 4...g4 5.Ne5 Qh4+ 6.g3 fxg3 7.Qxg4 g2+!? (7...Qxg4=) is now viable due to the threat against the pawn on e4. After 8.Qxh4 gxh1=Q Shaw recommends 9.Nc3 for White, with a complicated position.[27] Becker Defense: 3...h6 [edit] The Becker Defense (3.Nf3 h6), has the idea of creating a pawn chain on h6, g5, f4 to defend the f4 pawn while avoiding the Kieseritzky Gambit, so Black will not be forced to play ...g4 when White plays to undermine the chain with h4. White has the option of 4.b3, although the main line continues with 4.d4 g5 (ECO C37) and usually transposes to lines of the Classical Variation after 5.Bc4 Bg7 6.0-0 (ECO C38). Bonch–Osmolovsky Defense: 3...Ne7 [edit] The rarely seen Bonch–Osmolovsky Defense[28] (3.Nf3 Ne7) was played by Mark Bluvshtein to defeat former world title finalist Nigel Short at Montreal 2007,[29] even though it has never been highly regarded by theory. Cunningham Defense: 3...Be7 [edit] The Cunningham Defense (3.Nf3 Be7) threatens a check on h4 that can permanently prevent White from castling; furthermore, if White does not develop his King's Bishop immediately, he would be forced to play Ke2, which hems the Bishop in. A sample line is 4. Nc3 Bh4+ 5. Ke2 d5 6. Nxd5 Nf6 7. Nxf6+ Qxf6 8. d4 Bg4 9. Qd2 (diagram). White has strong central control with pawns on d4 and e4, while Black is relying on the white king's discomfort to compensate. To avoid having to play Ke2, 4. Bc4 is White's most popular response.[30] Black can play ...Bh4+ anyway, forcing 5.Kf1 (or else the wild Bertin Gambit or Three Pawns' Gambit, 5.g3 fxg3 6.0-0 gxh2+ 7.Kh1, played in the nineteenth century). In modern practice, it is more common for Black to simply develop instead with 4...Nf6 5.e5 Ng4, known as the Modern Cunningham. Schallopp Defense: 3...Nf6 [edit] The Schallopp Defense (3.Nf3 Nf6) – intending 4.e5 Nh5, holding onto the pawn – is considered somewhat inferior[citation needed]and is rarely played today. In one of the lines, White can usually obtain a crushing attack via a rook sacrifice, 4.e5 Nh5 5.d4 g5 6.h4 g4 7.Ng5 Ng3 8.Bc4! Nxh1 9.Bxf7+ Ke7 10.Nc3 (looking for immediate mate at d5, or later via queen at f6) and Black appears doomed. Modern Defense: 3...d5 [edit] The Modern Defense, or Abbazia Defense,[31] (3.Nf3 d5) has much the same idea as the Falkbeer Counter-Gambit, and can in fact be reached by transposition, e.g. 2.f4 d5 3.exd5 exf4. Black concentrates on gaining piece play and fighting for the initiativerather than keeping the extra pawn. It has been recommended by several publications as an easy way to equalize, although White keeps a slight advantage due to his extra central pawn and piece activity. If White captures (4.exd5) then Black may play 4...Nf6 or recapture with 4...Qxd5, at which point it becomes the Scandinavian Variation of KGA. Fischer Defense: 3...d6 [edit] Main article: King's Gambit, Fischer Defense "The refutation of any gambit begins with accepting it. In my opinion the King's Gambit is busted. It loses by force." – R. Fischer, "A Bust to the King's Gambit" The Fischer Defense (3.Nf3 d6), although previously known, was advocated by Bobby Fischer after he was defeated by Boris Spassky in a Kieseritzky Gambit at the 1960 Mar del Plata tournament. Fischer then decided to refute the King's Gambit, and the next year the American Chess Quarterlypublished Fischer's analysis of 3...d6, which he called "a high-class waiting move".[5][6] The point is that after 4.d4 g5 5.h4 g4 White cannot continue with 6.Ne5 as in the Kieseritzky Gambit, 6.Ng5 is unsound because of 6...f6! trapping the knight, and 6.Nfd2 blocks the bishop on c1. This leaves the move 6.Ng1 as the only option, when after six moves neither side has developed a piece. The resulting slightly odd position (diagram) offers White good attacking chances. A typical continuation is 6.Ng1 Bh6 7.Ne2 Qf6 8.Nbc3 c6 9.g3 f3 10.Nf4 Qe7 with an unclear position. (Korchnoi/Zak) The main alternative to 4.d4 is 4.Bc4. Play usually continues 4...h6 5.d4 g5 6.0-0 Bg7, transposing into the Hanstein Gambit, which can also be reached via 3...g5 or 3...h6. MacLeod Defense: 3...Nc6 [edit] Joe Gallagher writes that 3.Nf3 Nc6 "has never really caught on, probably because it does nothing to address Black's immediate problems." Like Fischer's Defense, it is a waiting move.[32] An obvious drawback is that the Nc6 may prove a target for the d-pawn later in the opening. Wagenbach Defense: 3...h5 [edit] An invention of the Hungarian/English player, János Wagenbach. John Shaw writes: "If given the time, Black intends to seal up the kingside with ...h4 followed by ...g5, securing the extra pawn on f4 without allowing an undermining h2–h4. The drawback is of course the amount of time required".[33] Bishop's Gambit 3.Bc4 [edit] Of the alternatives to 3.Nf3, the most important is the Bishop's Gambit, 3. Bc4. White allows 3...Qh4+ 4.Kf1, losing the right to castle, but this loses time for Black after the inevitable Nf3 and White will develop rapidly. Korchnoi and Zak recommend as best for Black 3...Nf6 4.Nc3 c6, or the alternative move order 3...c6 4.Nc3 Nf6. After 5.Bb3 d5 6.exd5 cxd5 7.d4 Bd6 8.Nge2 0-0 9.0-0 g5 10.Nxd5 Nc6, Black was somewhat better in Spielmann–Bogoljubow, Märisch Ostrau 1923. Black's other main option is 3...d5, returning the pawn immediately. Play might continue 3...d5 4.Bxd5 Nf6 5.Nc3 Bb4 6.Nf3 Bxc3 7.dxc3 c6 8.Bc4 Qxd1+ 9.Kxd1 0-0 10.Bxf4 Nxe4 with an equal position (Bilguer Handbuch, Korchnoi/Zak). 3...Nc6!? is relatively untested, but if White plays 4.Nf3 Black can transpose into the Hanstein Gambit after 4...g5 5.d4 Bg7 6.c3 d6 7.0-0 h6 (Neil McDonald, 1998). Steinitz's 3...Ne7 and the countergambit 3...f5 (best met by 4.Qe2!) are generally considered inferior. Other 3rd moves for White[edit] Other 3rd moves for White are rarely played. Some of these are: 3.Nc3 (Mason Gambit or Keres Gambit) 3.d4 (Villemson Gambit[34] or Steinitz Gambit) 3.Be2 (Lesser Bishop's Gambit or Tartakower Gambit) 3.Qf3 (Breyer Gambit or Hungarian Gambit) 3.h4 (Stamma Gambit) 3.Nh3 (Eisenberg Gambit) King's Gambit Declined [edit] Black can decline the offered pawn, or offer a countergambit. Falkbeer Countergambit: 2...d5 [edit] Main article: King's Gambit, Falkbeer Countergambit The Falkbeer Countergambit is named after the 19th-century Austrian master Ernst Falkbeer. It runs 1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5 3.exd5 e4, in which Black sacrifices a pawn in return for quick and easy development. It was once considered good for Black and scored well, but White obtains some advantage with the response 4.d3!, and the line fell out of favour after the 1930s. A more modern interpretation of the Falkbeer is 2...d5 3.exd5 c6!?, as advocated by Aron Nimzowitsch. Black is not concerned about pawns and aims for early pieceactivity. White has a better pawn structure and prospects of a better endgame. The main line continues 4.Nc3 exf4 5.Nf3 Bd6 6.d4 Ne7 7.dxc6 Nbxc6, giving positions analogous to the Modern Variation of the gambit accepted. Classical Defense: 2...Bc5 [edit] A common way to decline the gambit is with 2...Bc5, the "classical" KGD. The bishop prevents White from castling and is such a nuisance that White often expends two tempi to eliminate it by means of Nc3–a4, to exchange on c5 or b6, after which White may castle without worry. It also contains an opening trap for novices: if White continues with 3.fxe5?? Black continues 3...Qh4+, in which either the rook is lost (4.g3 Qxe4+, forking the rook and king) or White is checkmated (4.Ke2 Qxe4#). This line often comes about by transposition from lines of the Vienna Game or Bishop's Opening, when White plays f2–f4 before Nf3. Other 2nd moves for Black[edit] Other options in the KGD are possible, though unusual, such as the Adelaide Countergambit 2...Nc6 3.Nf3 f5, advocated by Tony Miles; 2...d6, when after 3.Nf3, best is 3...exf4 transposing to the Fischer Defense (though 2...d6 invites White to play 3.d4 instead); and 2...Nf6 3.fxe5 Nxe4 4.Nf3 Ng5! 5.d4 Nxf3+ 6.Qxf3 Qh4+ 7.Qf2 Qxf2+ 8.Kxf2 with a small endgame advantage, as played in the 1968 game between Bobby Fischer and Robert Wade in Vinkovci.[35] The greedy 2...Qf6 (known as the Nordwalde Variation), intending 3...Qxf4, is considered dubious. Also dubious are the Keene Defense: 2...Qh4+ 3.g3 Qe7 and the Mafia Defense: 1.e4 e5 2.f4 c5.[36] 2...f5?! is among the oldest countergambits in KGD, known from a game published in 1625 by Gioachino Greco.[37] Vincenz Hruby also played it against Mikhail Chigorin in 1882.[38] It is nonetheless considered dubious because 3.exf5 with the threat of Qh5+ gives White a good game. The variation is sometimes named the Pantelidakis Countergambit because Grandmaster Larry Evans answered a question from Peter Pantelidakis of Chicago about it in one of his columns in Chess Life and Review."-according to wikipedia III.How to play it quite easy to play the gambit if your opponent accept the gambit you should stop Qh4+ right away with move like Nf3 if your opponent declined the gambit play very caution or else you might lose the game IV.ENDINGS So did you like the gambit would you take the risk and go for the gambit tell me in the comment below.I hope you enjoy my blog peace!

Please do.

so i need some opening to make a blog on but to get a good review from you guy i need you guy to vote on a opening which i will choose

hello i'm quangk and today i gonna talk about the Traxler Counter Attack you might be scare at this opening when you hear the name but it not that scary also before starting i want to give credit to @little_guinea_pig for challenging me this opening and thechesswebsite on youtube who gave me information I.Introduction and how to play This opening usually will be from the italian game the move are simple: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6!? 4.Ng5 double teaming the weak f7 pawn now here come the Traxler Counter Attack (sidenote:if black play d5 then we getting into the fried liver attack but it consider a different opening) But here the thing in this opening for black he gonna ingore that f7 pawn and do a counter attack on white's weak f2 pawn 4....Bc5 now people playing white go for 5.Nxf7!? look good because you are forking queen and rook but black have the amazing sac with 5.....Bxf2+!!! this is the critiacal position for this opening II.Variations The main variations for this opening dont have a name so here some variations i make up name 1.The main line In the main line white play 6.Kxf2 black play 6.....Nxe4+ to get his queen out and go in to the attack when the king move now in most case the person playing white go for 7.Kf1 but 7.Kg1 is better because it doesnt put the white king on an open file after 7.Kg1 black will play 7.Qh4 this make black get his queen out with tempo he threatening to play 8.Qf2# so white defend with 8.Qf3 then 8....Nd4!!! white respond an attack with an attack and play 9.g3 but that open up the king 9.Qh3+!!! white must block the check with his queen(or else he lose his queen) with 10.Qg2 but ya know what that open the f file black can play 10....Qf5+!!! the queen cant block or else he lose his queen so white play 11.Ke1 and then 11.Nxc2+!!!!!!!! and let just stop here and say white cant survive in this position and there more but i cant cover III.ENGDINGS That the end i hope you enjoy it peace it's quangk signing off (ps:join NARWALS and GENERAL CHATTERS)

Hello today i'm going to guide you how to play the Halloween Gambit I .Introduction 1.Quick note For those that dont even know about the Halloween gambit here a quick note about it: The Halloween Gambit is usually staid after 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nxe5.It is a very very aggressive gambit in fact that the reason why it call Halloween Gambit because it so scary that it call that, why? well you here for that reason.The Halloween Gambit in which white sacrifices a knight for a pawn,yes it is similar to other gambit where white sac his knight for a center pawn but there a big difference in this particilar gambit here that difference in this gambit it make 4 knight get out making the center pawn to advance down the board with TEMPO well you might think that this can be easily declined but it get worst if you declined 3 bad things happened: 1.you just give white an extra pawn 2.you just alow there knight to be in the center 3. how will you stop 5.d4 try to stop that though there are conquences this center is good no bad thing there but remember you sac a knight for this and who know black could get his center back sometimes if white alow black to anyway that the introduction 2.History The theoretician Oskar Cordel reported in 1888 that Leipzig club players used the opening to dangerous effect, but he did not believe it was sound. Their name for it, Gambit Müller und Schulze, was not after any players by those names, but rather a jocular German equivalent of "Smith and Jones", or, "Tom, Dick, and Harry". The modern name "Halloween Gambit" was given by the German player Steffen Jakob, who explained that "Many players are shocked, the way they would be frightened by a Halloween mask, when they are mentally prepared for a boring Four Knight's, and then they are faced with Nxe5 II.How to play the gambit After this white always want to play 4.d4 now the Knight have 2 square(c6 and g5) we go for g5 first 1.The 5.....Ng5 retreat When Black retreats 5...Ng6, White want to chases the f6-knight with 6.e5. Then after 6...Ng8 7.Bc4, former world champion Max Euwe recommended 7...d5! it alow white to have 2 center pawn for the knight he sac but after 8.Bxd5 c6,suddenly black just got both bishop out and a advantage what that was it is about his c pawn it never alow white to push d5 ever(sidenote:there other move but they are bad such as taking en passent with your e pawn this just trade your center away black even got his development equal to your and take with your knight is not bad but slow) this was contending in volume 11 of his opening series that Black has a decisive advantage but there no way to really avoid this move but Instead of holding on to the extra piece with the usual 6...Ng8, a more logical continuation according to Eric Schiller is 6...Bb4, giving Black the better game after 7.exf6 Qxf6 with a lead in development and pressure in the center. 2.The 5.....Nc6 retreat This just very bad for black as it reach the position like Ng5 When Black retreats 5...Nc6, White chases the knight again with 6.d5. Then Black has 6...Ne5 (the Main line), or 6...Bb4 (Pinski's move). 1. The 6...Ne5 the main line After 6...Ne5, White chases again with 7.f4. Then after 7...Ng6 the game usually continues 8.e5 Ng8 9.d6 cd 10. ed (see diagram). In this case White's attack is very dangerous, and likely to prevail in practical play, with the threat of Nb5-c7 difficult to defend satisfactorily. Precise defense may theoretically preserve Black's material advantage but White has achieved their opening objectives. 2. Pinski's 6...Bb4 GM Larry Kaufman wrote in 2004 that the Müller–Schulze Gambit is refuted by 4...Nxe5 5.d4 Nc6 6.d5 Bb4! 7.dxc6 Nxe4 8.Qd4 Qe7, which he attributes to the Polish IM Jan Pinski. In 2003 Pinski analyzed 9.Qxg7 Nxc3 10.Be3 Nd5+ 11.c3 Rf8 12.cxb4 Nxe3 13.fxe3 Qxb4+, concluding "Black is very close to winning". III.Halloween Gambit with colors reversed A similar gambit can be tried by Black: after 4.g3, Black can play 4...Nxe4!? This line is arguably sounder than its White counterpart because White's 4.g3 has weakened his f3-square. Moreover, White cannot play the line recommended by Kaufman with colors reversed, because 5.Nxe4 d5 6.Nc3 d4 7.Bb5? dxc3 8.Nxe5? Qd5 9.Qe2? loses to 9...Qxh1+. However, with the pawn on g3, Nh4 is possible and it should be easier to castle.

Hi this is my first ever blog and today i going to talk about the king indians defence also © belong to Bobotheflyingsheep67 for being the inspiration for my first blog Introduction The King Indians Defence is a HyperModern opening,where Black deliberately allows White control of the center with his pawns, with the view to subsequently challenge it with the moves ...e5 or ...c5. It is a very common opening for black against 1.d4 and it usually arise after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Bg7 or it even can arise after the modern defense and also the English opening after that black usually play 4....d6 to ensure white dont push the center down and get space advantage(side note:the Grünfeld Defence arises when Black plays 3...d5 instead, and is considered a separate opening) In the most critical lines of the King's Indian, White erects an imposing pawn centre with Nc3 followed by e4. Black stakes out his own claim to the centre with the Benoni-style ...c5, or ...e5. If White resolves the central pawn tension with d5, then Black follows with either ...b5 and queenside play, or ...f5 and an eventual kingside attack. Meanwhile, White attempts to expand on the opposite wing. The resulting unbalanced positions offer scope for both sides to play for a win. History Until the mid-1930s, it was generally regarded as highly suspect, but the analysis and play of three strong Soviet players in particular—Alexander Konstantinopolsky, Isaac Boleslavsky, and David Bronstein—helped to make the defence much more respected and popular. It is a dynamic opening, exceptionally complex, and a favourite of former world champions Garry Kasparov, Bobby Fischer, and Mikhail Tal, with prominent grandmasters Viktor Korchnoi, Miguel Najdorf, Efim Geller, John Nunn, Svetozar Gligorić, Wolfgang Uhlmann, and Ilya Smirin having also contributed much to the theory and practice of this opening. In the early 2000s the opening's popularity suffered after Vladimir Kramnik scored excellent results against it, so much so that even Kasparov gave up the opening after relentless losses to Kramnik. However, Kramnik himself won a fine game on the black side of the KID in 2012,[1] and current top players Hikaru Nakamura, Teimour Radjabov, and Ding Liren all play the opening. Variations The main variations of the King's Indian are: 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6[edit] Classical Variation: 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 [edit] The Classical Variation is 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5. The Main Line or Mar del Plata Variation continues 7.0-0 Nc6 8.d5 Ne7. Now White has a wide variety of moves, including 9.b4, 9.Ne1, and 9.Nd2, among others. Typically, White will try to attack on the queenside by preparing the pawn break c4–c5, while Black will attack on the kingside by transferring his knight from f6 to d7 (usually better placed than at e8, as it helps slow White's queenside play with c4–c5), and starting a kingside pawn storm with f7–f5–f4 and g6–g5. 9.b4, introduced by Korchnoi in the 1970s, used to put top players off playing this line, but it has recently been revived by Radjabov. 7.0-0 Nbd7 is the Old Main Line, and is playable, though less common nowadays than 7...Nc6. 7.0-0 exd4 8.Nxd4 is also possible, although White's extra space usually is of greater value than Black's counterplay against White's centre. Made popular in the mid-1990s by the Russian Grandmaster Igor Glek, new ideas were found for White yet some of the best lines for White were later refuted. White still has an advantage in most lines. 7.0-0 Na6 has seen some popularity recently. The purpose of this awkward-looking move is to transfer the knight to c5 after White's eventual d5, while guarding c7 if Black should play ...Qe8. Play commonly continues 8.Be3 Ng4 9.Bg5 Qe8! but White has also tried: 8.dxe5 dxe5 9.Qxd8 Rxd8 with even chances; 8.d5 Nc5 9.Qc2 a5 may transpose into the Petrosian System (see below); 8.Bg5 h6 9.Bh4 Qe8 10.Bxf6 Bxf6 11.c5!, which is not totally reliable for Black. 7.d5 is the Petrosian System, so named for the 1963–69 world champion Tigran Petrosian, who often essayed the line in the 1960s, with Vladimir Kramnik playing this variation extensively in the 1990s. The plans for both sides are roughly the same as in the main variation. After 7...a5 White plays 8.Bg5 to pin the knight, making it harder for Black to achieve the f7–f5 break. In the early days of the system, Black would drive the bishop back with ...h6 and ...g5, though players subsequently switched to ideas involving ...Na6, ...Qe8 and ...Bd7, making White's c4–c5 break more difficult, only then playing for kingside activity. Joe Gallagher[2] has recommended the flexible 7...Na6 which has similar ideas to 7...a5. 7.Be3 is often known as the Gligoric System, after the World Championship Candidate Svetozar Gligorić, who has contributed much to King's Indian theory and practice with both colours. More recently, other strong players such as Korchnoi, Anatoly Karpov, and Kasparov have played this line. The main idea behind this move is to avoid the theoretical lines that arise after 7.0-0 Nc6. This move allows White to maintain, for the moment, the tension in the centre. If Black plays mechanically with 7...Nc6, 8.d5 Ne7 9.Nd2! is a favourable setup, so Black most often responds by crossing his opponent's plans with 7...Ng4 8.Bg5 f6 9.Bh4 Nc6, but other moves are also seen, such as: 7...Na6 8.0-0 transposing into the modern. 7...h6!? is a favourite of John Nunn. The main line runs 8.0-0 Ng4 9.Bc1 Nc6 10.d5 Ne7 11.Ne1 f5 12.Bxg4 fxg4. In this subvariation, Black's kingside play is of a different type than normal KID lines, as it lacks the standard pawn breaks, so he will now play g6–g5 and Ng6–f4, often investing material in a piece attack in the f-file against the white king, while White plays for the usual queenside breakthrough with c4–c5. 7...exd4 immediately surrenders the centre, with a view to playing a quick c7–c6 and d6–d5. For example, 8.Nxd4 Re8 9.f3 c6 10.Qd2 (10.Bf2!?) 10...d5 11.exd5 cxd5 12.0-0 Nc6 13.c5 and 13...Rxe3!? (which was first seen in game 11 of the 1990 World Chess Championship between Kasparov and Karpov). In the Exchange Variation (7.dxe5 dxe5 8.Qxd8 Rxd8), White exchanges queens and is content to play for a small, safe advantage in the relatively quiet positions which will ensue in this queenless middlegame. The line is often played by White players hoping for an early draw, but there is still a lot of play left in the position. White tries to exploit d6 with moves such as b4, c5, Nf3–d2–c4–d6, etc., while Black will play to control the hole on d4. In practice, it is easier to exploit d4, and chances are balanced. If Black is able to play ...Nd4, he will often have at least an equal position, even when this involves the sacrifice of a pawn to eliminate White's dark-squared bishop. Sämisch Variation: 5.f3 [edit] Main article: King's Indian Defence, Sämisch Variation The Sämisch Variation is 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.f3. It is named after Friedrich Sämisch, who developed the system in the 1920s. This often leads to very sharp play with the players castling on opposite wings and attacking each other's kings, as in the Bagirov–Gufeld game given below, though it may also give rise to heavyweight positional struggles. Black has a variety of pawn breaks, such as ...e5, ...c5 and ...b5 (prepared by ...c6 and/or ...a6). This can transpose to the Modern Benoni after 5...0-0 6.Bg5 c5 7.d5 e6. World champions Mikhail Botvinnik, Mikhail Tal, Tigran Petrosian, Boris Spassky, Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov have all played this variation. This line defends the e4-pawn to create a secure centre and enables White to begin an attack kingside with Be3, Qd2, Bh6, g2–g4 and h2–h4. It allows placement of a bishop on e3 without allowing ...Ng4; however, its drawback is that it deprives the knight on g1 of its most natural square, thus impeding development of the kingside. Black can strike for the centre as previously mentioned or delay with 6...Nc6, 7...a6 and 8...Rb8 so that Black can play ...b7–b5 to open lines on the queenside. The Classical Defence to the Sämisch is 5...0-0 6.Be3 e5, when White has a choice between closing the centre with 7.d5, or maintaining the tension with 7.Nge2. Kasparov was a major proponent of this defence.[3] The Sämisch Gambit arises after 5...0-0 6.Be3 c5. This is a pawn sacrifice, and was once considered dubious. As Black's play has been worked out, this evaluation has changed, and the gambit now enjoys a good reputation. A practical drawback, however, is that a well-prepared but unambitious White player can often enter lines leading to a forced draw.[3] The line where White accepts the gambit runs 5...0-0 6.Be3 c5 7.dxc5 dxc5 8.Qxd8 (8.e5 Nfd7 9.f4 f6 10.exf6 is also possible here, though less often seen) Rxd8 9.Bxc5 Nc6. Black's activity is believed to give sufficient compensation. White's most frequent play is to decline the gambit, and instead play 7.Nge2, and head for Benoni type positions after a d4–d5 advance. 5...0-0 6.Be3 Nc6 7.Nge2 a6 8.Qd2 Rb8 leads to the Panno Variation of the Sämisch. Black prepares to respond appropriately depending on White's choice of plan. If White plays 0-0-0 and goes for a kingside attack, then 7...a6 prepares ...b7–b5 with a counterattack against White's castled position. If instead White plays more cautiously, then Black challenges White's centre with ...e5. Averbakh Variation: 5.Be2 0-0 6.Bg5 [edit] Averbakh Variation The Averbakh Variation is 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Be2 0-0 6.Bg5 (named for Yuri Averbakh), which prevents the immediate 6...e5 (6...e5? 7. dxe5 dxe5 8. Qxd8 Rxd8 9. Bxf6 Bxf6 10. Nd5, with a double attack on the f6-bishop and c7-pawn). Black often repels the bishop with ...h6 giving him the option of a later g5, though in practice this is a weakening move. White has various ways to develop, such as Qd2, Nf3, f4 or even h4. However, Black obtains good play against all of these development schemes. The old main line in this begins with 6...c5 (which keeps the long diagonal open). However, 6...Nbd7 and 6...Na6 (Judit Polgár's move) are also seen. It is possible that the Averbakh System (of the Modern Defense) can transition to the Averbakh Variation of the King's Indian Defence. Four Pawns Attack: 5.f4 [edit] Main article: King's Indian Defence, Four Pawns Attack Four Pawns Attack The Four Pawns Attack continues with 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.f4 0-0 6.Nf3. This is the most aggressive method for White, and was often seen in the 1920s. With his fifth move, White erects a massive centre at the price of falling behind in development. If Black can open the position, White may well find himself overextended. From this 6...c5 is the main line. 6...c5 7.d5 e6 8.Be2 exd5 9.cxd5 9...Bg4 has been a solid line for Black. 9...Re8 can be justified with solid play. 9...b5 is known to lead to sharp, dangerous play. 6...Na6 is known as the Modern Variation. This is a move anticipating playing ...Nc5 with counterplay. If white makes neutral moves such as 7.Bd3, this has had success. On the other hand, 7.e5 is the most aggressive plan. Fianchetto Variation: 3.Nf3 Bg7 4.g3 [edit] Fianchetto Variation The Fianchetto Variation 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nf3 Bg7 4.g3 0-0 5.Bg2 d6 6.0-0, is named for White's development of his light-squared bishop to g2, and is one of the most popular lines at the grandmaster level, with Korchnoi once its most notable practitioner. This method of development is on completely different lines than other King's Indian variations. Here, Black's normal plan of attack can hardly succeed, as White's kingside is more solidly defended than in most KID variations. The most common responses are: 6...Nbd7 with 8...exd4. Black intends to claim the centre with ...e7–e5. 7.Nc3 e5 8.e4 exd4 9.Nxd4 Re8 10.h3 a6. Preparation has been made for 11...Rb8, with ...c7–c5 and ...b7–b5, and sometimes with ...Ne5 first. This is known as the Gallagher Variation of the Fianchetto Variation. 8...c6 and 8...a6 are alternatives. 6...Nc6 7.Nc3 a6 8.d5 Na5. This variation goes against ancient dogma which states that knights are not well placed on the rim; however, extra pressure is brought to bear against the Achilles Heel of the fianchetto lines—the weakness at c4. Hundreds of master games have continued with 9.Nd2 c5 10.Qc2 Rb8 11.b3 b5 12.Bb2 bxc4 13.bxc4 Bh6 14.f4 (14.e3 Bf5 is a trap that numbers Mark Taimanov among its victims;[4] White must now lose material, as he has no good interposition) 14...e5! Sidelines Finally, White has other setups, such as Nf3 and h3 and Nge2 (with or without Bd3), but these are currently not as popular at the grandmaster level. 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nge2 followed by 6.Ng3 is called the Hungarian Attack.The only sideline is the Hungarian Attack or there might be more that i cant cover due to it have not been exist or unknown or unpopular Endings So that my first blog i hope you know everthing about this opening and how to play it i'm Quangk(chessischill) signing off (ps: i did a lot of time reasearch this topic )
