Here's our first GAMBIT. On your left you see a VERY DANGEROUS WEAPON. It's the DANISH GAMBIT!! Let's take a look at WHAT White's going to SACRIFICE, and WHY. |
|
Returning to the position after White's 3rd move, c2-c3, rather than taking the pawns he can strike back in the center at once. Can you see how? (There was a clue earlier!) |
Bf8-c5 is one move Black might play. Tell me, if White played f4xe5 here how would Black reply? |
Another 2nd move for Black is d7-d5 (remember that one?), called the FALKBEER COUNTER-GAMBIT. Tell me kiddo, which pawn should White take now?
The d-pawn
The e-pawn The frogspawn The toadspawn |
