re:Gambit`s are shit! - 2006/06/30 15:38That`s a shame. And we were all expecting some psychotic rant. There must be somebody out there who thinks all gambits stink. Any takers? Helmet? ---------
I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me.
re:Gambit`s are shit! - 2008/07/17 02:31Very true, certainly at the higher levels. But although it is known in theory by many players, alot of them will feel threatened by the advanced C4 pawn and will make the exchange. Although the pawn is quickly regained, the gambit can quite easily force a particular style of play.
Some may even try and defend their pawn after the exchange, ill advised but seen often.
re:Gambit`s are shit! - 2008/07/27 06:34Hello csmullen,
Or they can just respond with 1)..Nf6 and transpose into the King's Indian Defense or the Gruenfeld Defense. How would that force your particular style of play? In addition, there is the Benoni Defense, Queen's gambit Accepted, and Dutch Defense, all with their own unique set-ups, stategies, and various flavors.
re:Gambit`s are shit! - 2008/07/29 00:37Gambits are a skill. It takes a good attacking play to make the most of gambit play, and a solid strong defender likewise needs to be aware of the sharp lines that may follow.
I use the Smith Morra in my armoury and it is quite effective for me at club level.
I like the Budapest Gambit as a reply the the Queen's Gambit....ooh Counter-Gambits...truely for the brave.
re:Gambit`s are shit! - 2008/07/31 18:11The trick is....if both players ignore the gambit and keep developing, the exchange if and when it does happen is gonna be explosive. You've gotta be on your game to make sure you don't end a piece down or worse.
I like your quote "my tightrope is thinner than yours", it truly applies, but what it your tightrope is made of iron and mine made of steel, which will give first?
YOu either like gambits or you don't. Many peopl equally dislike closed positional play. Can't please evereyone I guess.
re:Gambit`s are shit! - 2008/08/03 06:38Get Real // They are What They Is,
The gambit > The Get Real Part :
Admit it we all have a favorite ploy. Try to work an advantage Or One we are working on. Just to see , how the advantage might go in a given situation.
The gambit > The They are What They Is Part :
The gambit by it's very nature is a ploy for time.
A distraction
Run a pawn up the right , all the while working on the left.
Fine ,Whatever
Don't work in any situation where your opponent has time to think.
Assumen your opponent is thinken.
Go pawn for pawn My what ? next.?
There is no trick to it.
Reckon So, Shotgun
Hey csmullen-Man I've read your forum posts Guess it was just a matter of time. Til you admitted to haveing a thinner tight rope.
And don't even bother replying to that statement. Some >things< are self evident.
re:Gambit`s are shit! - 2008/08/12 21:45Fail. Gambits are just names for moves or openings, like the Ruy Lopez (spanish game). They are just different ways of playing the game Just some>Things<are self evident That was for Shotgun ~Oberoth Btw: The best gambits are the ones that dont exist!
