Seems to me that, against the King's Gambit, plying into an unresolved mess is giving White the kind of game he wants.


Very possibly. But also the kind of game I want. As someone who plays the King's Gambit from both sides.

Thanks. I guess 12.e5 d6 13.Nd5 Qg7 14.exd6 cxd6 15. Bb5+ is yet another unresulved mess, or does it resolve to a draw or worse? Seems to me that, against the King's Gambit, plying into an unresolved mess is giving White the kind of game he wants.

Do you also have a game or analysis with 11. Bxe7 instead of Bf4?

"(here 11 Bxe7 Qxe7 12 0-0-0 d6 13 e5 0-0 14 Bc4+ Kh8 or 12 Bc4 d5!? 13 Bxd5 c6 14 Bb3 g3!? is another unresolved mess)"

and earlier: "That’s not the final word though. Fred Galvin has drawn attention to 8 Bxg5! Be7 9 Qd2, aiming for rapid development which Black will struggle to match."

Now that your book is out you can tell us what you recommend for Black against the "Allgaier" gambit 6. Ng5. (I ordered a copy of the book but I guess it will take weeks to get here.)


my idea had in fact already been played in Komodo-Stockfish above

The running comments below the vid are pretty funny. If SF can have no sense of shame or regret, could SF ever judge itself as having blundered? (not serious, BTW).

Nice one Smiley

Presumably the source is the continually running engine tournaments at chess.com. Annoyingly, they don't put these up for download, so you'd have to go and check for each game in each event individually.

Thanks, instructive video indeed. All the more a pity GM King seems to neglect 3...g5 4.Nc3 Nc6.

Thought you guys might be interested in this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpWCSu58xmU&t=72s

Or maybe most of you have already seen it. I have surmised that with Rapd Chess becoming more and more prominent we should expect a sharp uptick in KG games. Even an ole skeptic like me is seriously considering giving it a go.  Smiley

It's on my list to buy. Forgot to mention it here last week when i first saw it. I'm keen to compare it with Shaw's book.

Wasnt sure about having Danny King present it but having seen the intro video it's great to hear he was a fan of the opening in his  youth, and that the Korchnoi & Zak book was his bible. 

I had some great fun with this opening following Gallagher's book.

Worse, I'm missing 3.Nf3 g5 4.Nc3 Nc6, ie the best reply to the Quaade. Probably critical is 5.g3 g4 6.Nh4 f3 7.d4 Be7 and two corr games (all players had ratings between 2340 and 2400) ended with draws. You can find more here:

https://www.ianchessgambits.com/kings-gambit-3nf3-g5.html

You can find the Wagenbach Defense on that site too  Wink.

How come nobody's talking about Daniel King's latest Chessbase DVD - The King's Gambit for White?

I would have thought tongues would be wagging by now. Smiley



yes, it looks quite interesting – but he doesn't cover the Wagenbach Wink
