I have playeď ONLY the Danish Gambit to e4 e5 as white for 20 years ! Win rate over 75 percent. Or the Smith Morra Gambit..a variation. Can show you tricks you havent thought of !!
The main point of black declining the b2 pawn in most variations is that accepting the Danish requires precise play by black to avoid mate (but if he succeeds then he's got a clear advantage), compared to there being an open-ended question about whether white has sufficient compensation for one pawn if black declines the b pawn and white presumably plays Nxc3. Would therefore be very interested in seeing a video on one of the Chigorin games of the Danish gambit accepted (1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. c3 dxc3 4. Bc4 cxb2 5. Bxb2 Qe7). This video shows the pitfalls of black blindly accepting the material on offer. But after the Danish gambit accepted position of 4... cxb2. 5. Bxb2, if black can gain a couple of tempos and therefore buy time to get the king to safety - normally in the Danish this means either kingwalking or castling queenside - then he's up two pawns with white's developed pieces all pointing at the now relatively unimportant f and g pawns.
The only time I played this in a classic game, I was Black, and White, much stronger than I, expected to tear me to shreds. However, I had read Leonard Barden's advice to new players and was quite familiar with the Goring Gambit. The game went well for me, and when I took a wee brake I found International Master Johanson providing commentary on the game. No brilliancy, but a pleasing memory.
I also use this against Sicilian defence. Using the Smith and Morra gambit line (I call it Danish Morra, just for fun), 1 e4 c5 2 d4 c5xe4 3 c3 e4xc3 4 Bc4 c3xb2 5 Bxb2 ... That changes the situation from being against a really good defence from having control over the game. Quick note: someone that plays the Sicilian usually knows about this and you have to be carefull, but it's fun nontheless :-)
Taking the c pawn is onething but the b pawn should not be touched from what I remember, just way too much counter play. Black would have to play like an engine to survive
It is very nice tutorial. I would like to see gams e played masters who positioned himself for a Danish Gambit opening but at the end who troubled himself.
Is there a “similar” type of opening black could play to sacrifice pawns like that for fast development?!? Any replies or gambits welcome Love the channel
@@Wesssss84 upon thinking more I know that the englund gambit, stafford gambit, and the orthoschnapp gambit against the french defense are also great options
Well after all 1.e4 e5 2.d4 ed 3.c3 dc 4. Bc4 cb 5.Bb2 *is* the Danish Gambit proper. 4. Nc3 is not the Danish Gambit so technically what Alekhine was recommending was not to play the Danish Gambit.
Love the video The danish is my favourite opening if I want a quick action packed game Tends to go wrong a lot of times I won’t lie But it’s still great when they are greedy
You get going waaaay too fast, and it's impossible to follow. Pause doesn't help when there's no explanation of what's up with all these rapidfire moves.
When playing the Danish Gambit, should know when ti back off ! Take the advantage that presents itself..instead of sacrificing too much and pressing too hard !!

I love the Danish gambit. These are some cool variations I hadn't thought of before and should get better with. Thanks for sharing them :)

Brilliant! Thank you
I love the Danish Gambit asked playing it very often in blitz and bullet chess.
I find it reasonable in classic chess also.

Thank's for this video and have a clear explanation... I've learned a lot...
Danish Gambit is my favourite. I played it many times. But surprisingly these variations I came to know now only. Thanks for sharing.

Is there a refutation to the Danish after black plays cxb2.
Never heard of any of the players, but it's a really nice game. I like all the variations where black gets crushed!
Taking the c pawn is onething but the b pawn should not be touched from what I remember, just way too much counter play. Black would have to play like an engine to survive
Thanks so much!!!
what if after Nd5 Black plays Nc6 instead of f6, what would be white's response?
It is very nice tutorial. I would like to see gams e played masters who positioned himself for a Danish Gambit opening but at the end who troubled himself.
if black play g7 then what will do white in b2-g7 line as queen is on g4 ?
For the final line wouldn't qg5 f5 bx5f qxf5 qxf5 work?
I played this opening and lost lol.
Love playing the Danish Gambit, but most of the time people don't accept the b-pawn. Maybe they've been watching this video!
now i know much variation of danish gambit
Amazing similarity to one of Fischer´s game!
I m quite a positional endgame player but it's disturbing to play against this gambit

The Budapest Gambit is the only one I can think of for black.
@@vaporghoul thank you Sir
I will check it out later for sure
Appreciate the reply
@@Wesssss84 upon thinking more I know that the englund gambit, stafford gambit, and the orthoschnapp gambit against the french defense are also great options
@@vaporghoul thanks man I really appreciate that
I’ll check them out
I love a good sacrifice for the greater good!! 😂
🙏
I learned a lesson
Never be greedy
I never know i always using danish gambit. I never know the name before seeing this.

at 3:10 after Ne7+ blacks plays Kh8 and whites has nothing?
Danish gambit is the most powerful trap.
I always play this opening and strategy!
tank you
