Welcome to  a new gambit blog in which I will share with you this stunning yet really sneaky gambit which will make your friends think that you are pro chess player .

This gambit can be used in low to moderate level games because the players which are beginner to moderate level are likely to commit these moves .

The main idea of this gambit is to sacrifice minor pieces for developing other good pieces , so in danish gambit we are sacrificing pawns which will help us in clearing the board for our bishops and queen and help develop them and at the mean time diverting the attention of the opponent to capture our pawn and not letting him develop his own pieces and also letting his king exposed in the open .

Remember that you can play this if your are playing as white but also if you are playing as black you will learn and discover how to counter this gambit .

Variation 1 ( Queen killer ).

 

As you can see the black just captures your pawns unknowingly , but because of his lack of awareness he loses his queen . Let's check another variation which will portray you as a genius by recapturing or regaining your bishop smartly .
