Hero Catur: King's Gambit: Is this Battle Style have its future??

One of my favourite Openings is King's Gambit either Accepted or Declined. It is a classic move by chess player to protect the center. And for me, It was so daring for those who never meet this type of White's player in their first tournament. I'd smile inside when see my opponent's face turned red while i'm doing some sacrification. Some will resign before 23 steps. It's cool.

But I never dare to try this if I knew who's my opponent on list. Gila ke apa. Hehehehe.

However, this openings were good for kids and newbies. Maybe dream is only dream to see myself beat any strong Black player using this unique weaponry.

Is this Battle Style have its future??

see what's happened to Anand Visvanathan...... UNBELIEVABLE

About the King's Gambit
The KG is one of the first openings invented after the change of rules in the 16th century. It was designed to use the new opportunities for fast development made possible by the pawn's new double step.
In the beginning - in the hands of e.g. Greco (1600-1634) - white used multiple piece sacrifices on the f-file, on f3 and f7 in particular, to drag the black monarch into the middle of the board for a swift execution.
As time went by defences were found for black against most of these highly committal lines. Thus white gradually began to employ more positional measures like e.g. breaking up black's pawn chain f4 & g5 with an early h4 as in the Kieseritzky Gambit 1 e4 e5 2 f4 ef4 3 Nf3 g5 4 h4!
Nowadays, other positional manoeuvres are gaining in popularity, e.g. the bishop fianchetto on b2 and the contemporary search for a better endgame even in exciting and unclear positions...

Those who are tempted to start playing the King's Gambit should know these quotations of Tartakower's

The first essential for an attack is - the will to attack!

Don't play the KG if you're not interested in grabbing the initiative and using it!

An attack is mounted not only against the opponent's position, but also against his Psyche.

For example, many of your opponents will chicken out in the opening, and not play very critical variations...

It's really a sad thing that most second players wheel out the same mistakes with the same enthusiasm century after century. But it's simply a fact, so why not take advantage of it? All those players who e.g. feel 'instinctively' that The Long Whip is the refutation of 2.f4; really deserve a chance to test their idea...
