Favourite Gambits

I usually play the danish gambit and the King's gambit only because at some time or the other, your opponent will mess up and u get a good attack. Objectively speaking, White is almost always worse. But, it's just too much fun!!!

If I'm white and somehow I ended up in the Giuoco piano, I will almost always do the Evans gambit. It's a really good move, that relieves the tension.

I used to enjoy the King's gambit, but now too many people now how to refute or counter attack it, so I now tend to play the Vienna gambit instead.

So I tried the Urusov Gambit... seemed to be very effective although I probably could have played it better:

I just came upon the Smith-Morra, got a chance to try it, and it worked very well. I never like playing against the Sicilian, so that will be my go to opening, (I was going to say defense but that's not right.) until I get blasted using it.

@LDog11, I'm a poor player, but if you'd like to practice casually sometime, please send me a request. Let's get some Smith Morra games going ;D

The only gambit that has caught my attention recently is the Vaganian Gambit (I think that is the name). For people that consider playing c5 as their main reply to c4 it might be a really nice idea to try out:
1. c4 c5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 e5 5. Nb5 d5

Also it has the advantage of being actually sound, which is very rare for black gambits.

The Marshall, of course!

I'm not really a gambit player, most of them are at least slightly theoretically unsound imo. I play the Queen's Gambit constantly but that's not even a real gambit because there is virtually no way for black to hold onto the pawn without worsening his position to do so.

@szeweningen2: I reached that line a few times by transposition, via 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5. Some players didn't want to play 3.d5 and go into a Benko gambit (or Benoni), and instead replied 3.Nf3 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e5 etc. It's indeed a good line.

None. Really.
