All right, cool, it should be helpful. happy.png

Maybe it could be useful to add engine evaluations. explorer.png

Wow you've done your reserch. I'm not sure how most of these random moves even have a name.

You can't exclude Queen's Gambit if you're including the Old Benoni though. The Old Benoni needs removing, it's in no way a gambit.


Edit: Sorry, not sure why I thought you excluded the QG. I skimmed a bit too fast. The whole list is pretty much just nonesense then if such openings are included. They aren't gambits.

This one can be called Ware gambit:

When you add more ensure to add both of the morphy gambits (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 exd4 4. Bc4) and ( 1. e4 c5 2. d4 cxd4 3. Nf3)
