To really appreciate the value of these little guys, please read my article "Unsung heroes". Besides, not everyone plays the King's Gambit and it wouldn't be the best idea to drastically change your openings in order just to get a chance to beat your opponent quickly.
Here I start a new series of articles about openings that assure the 'fire on board' as quickly as possible. If you don't play the particular opening covered in an article then I'll try to cover all of them and sooner or later you'll find an article about your favorite opening variation! Today we will talk about another ancient and a very sharp opening: Center Game.
Also, just like I explained last week in the article about the King's Gambit, if you want to seriously study the theory of an opening, you better look at a book devoted to the opening. Here I just want to show you opening traps and combinations typical for the opening.
This is more like a starting point for learning an opening. If you get interested, you might want to do more detailed research. As a result in many cases White pushes his 'h' pawn to create an attack. In the next game the first World Champion Wilhelm Steinitz was miniaturized this way also the game could be a good addition to my previous article " Typical Patterns Everyone Should Know. The dangerous 'h' file". Openings for Tactical Players: Center Game.
GM Gserper. Updated: Sep 1, , PM. It is after games like this that Black came up with an idea: why not bring an extra defender for his King by a fianchetto. Besides, the Bg7 can be useful not only for a pure defense as the following game proves:. Usually then Black will play Nc6 and attack the Q, which retreats to e3. White will play Nc3, Bd2 and It's playable. The center game is an opening in which white gambits the queen pawn for aggressive, sharp, and tactical play,as far as i can tell, as well as a huge loss of tempo.
The center game is an opening in which white gambits not in the variation you are telling about the queen pawn for aggressive not in the variation you are telling about , sharp not in the variation you are telling about , and tactical play not in the variation you are telling about ,as far as i can tell, as well as a huge loss of tempo.
Nf6 2. Nc6 , followed by the queen taking it That's just dum , the black knight to c6 thus the loss of tempo and the queen retreating to e3 Why would white block his own light squared bishop , whereas the other black knight moves forwards, and there ends the definitive center game. I don't like gambits where you just clear out all those pawns. Black need not know much theory to answer both with an eventual Since those gambits are played once in a blue moon, and mostly by weak players, I see no reason wasting precious time on studying the accepted form of them.
Yes, my prep for those gambits is simply when I see c3, I'll play d5, and make natural moves from there to have a fine game. I probably need to know a little more, but as Pfren says it's not common I've only ever seen them in blitz.
And if you don't already know, Pfren has a nice post on the Danish if you want to try to punish white instead of an equal game. My suggestion is not very relevant, since it only deals with the Danish move order, and the bad move 4. Capa's 1. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nf6 5. Someone with more intimate knowledge feel free to correct me, but I would think if White chooses 8. Qg3 as opposed to 8. Bc4 he is gambiting the e-pawn. Mega Database has 8. Qg3 played in games, with 8. Bc4 in second at games.
Shabalov has three games after He played 8. Qg3 all three times. The difference is rather semantic. If white goes into this 8 qg3 line i guess yes it looks like a gambit. I am somewhat surprised that moves like Everyone is going to look at you funny if you call the paulsen a gambit. I don't think it's semantics. Clearly the continuation I gave is the most often played and if you look at different opening manuals I think it would be listed as the main continuation. Given the diference in number of games played between the first most played move and second most played moves I think it's fair enough to call it a main line.
As far as what it's called: I don't know the names of variations are most of the time, but it seems to me that if White is going to play the main line with 8. Qg3 then he is giving up a pawn for positional compensation which seems to fit the definition of a "gambit". So I guess the funny looks would come from those who are into names or something, I don't know. I will say I have never seen this position before. I know of the Center Game but I have never played it or seen it played myself.
It seems like black has been winning more than white has in these continuations. White has gambitted 1 pawn and in higher level chess if one side can not prove any compensation for the loss pawn.
They often lose. Obviously these are title players so black being up 1 pawn is like winning if white can't come up with some form of attack or compensation.
It seems by the stats that white has not proven. Which might be why this line isn't play as much? If you want I can talk about the opening a little bit. I am not expert but maybe you can consider other options. It seems like most players might be instead of playing the continuation you are recommending with 3. It seems like they are playing 3. By playing 3. Qxd4 white does lose a tempo since black can respond with Nc6 hitting the queen.
The only tricky part would be if you do play 3. Nf3 the position might turn into a Scotch Game. Which means you will have to study some of the idea's in the Scotch line. There is good news though. The good news is the Scotch Game is considered very respectable opening which means.
