King's Gambit

There are few good gambits with black and this is not one of them. Maybe you could play this against an opponent known to avoid playing sharp lines, but any player who plays 1.e4 is likely to know a thing or two about the black side of the King's Gambit in which case you'll be a pawn down for nothing or even worse.
I mean, even the regular king's gambit is a controversial choice, entering it a tempo down is frankly suicidal.
If you want to dangerous gambits like that, for black, I suggest the elephant: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d5.
Against the Vienna I don't know but against 2.Nf3 it's called the "Latvian Gambit".
i play kings gambit a lot,
well i have just started but ive seen some crazy positions,
i enjoy the character of the opening,
this is a simple game i ve just played

i like the kings gambit cause ive never know whats gonna happen, i think i should start to post messy games.
Ah but the thread is kings gambit with black i dont recommend that, never tried it but its not gonna work, a tempo down, no.
and this is the game ive played yesterday for example, a little more difficult

its a game with mistakes but its messy.
If I find some good games i will post them or at least interesting ones like wild cause otherwise i forget about them
and some analysis might be good.
this was not kings gambit but it has f4

i dont know i like it
i think i have also a good game but different with another account when i tried to give up chess which is this one
but it was a game like playing bad a little like teasing the opponent with the king on the center just for the emotion.
If I find good games, ill try to post them

I think that was a good game.
here is another

but ill try to post the ones that are more fought
the ones where cheap tricks does not work with proper black defence but i think some people by some reason defend very bad, the kings gambit like they dont bother at all to look one second or one minute a good defence which i think its the fischer one the d6, above 1800 level its probably a nightmare to play the kingsgambit or maybe higher like 2000 but i dont know if black defends well i dont know what white can do maybe it has to, its not so easy to play well, there is room for error for black so its playable, cause white can always do some weird stuff like castling queenside or i dont know something unpredictable but its probably true that black is better.
great vid DG, i love how at the end andreikin smiles, which translates as "you got me with the muzio, fair play son"
