sacrifice of two pawns

Sort:

Does anyone remember the name of the opening in which two pawns are sacrificed.

I think the two pawns are the queens pawn and the queen's bishop pawn, or else it

is the queen's bishop and queen's knight pawns.  It is a gambit where the opponents

pawn takes two pawns, one after the other.  Thanks.

Dutch defense, I believe. I'm no good with the names of the openings; I just play 'em.

Thanks, yes, that's it - the danish gambit.  I never had much luck with it.

 I have a book on the Danish Gambit. You need to be quite good player to use it in my opinion. If you make a wrong move you will struggle. You really do need to keep the initiative in this opening something that lower rated players cant do. I have pretty good success with it given that its not my main opening as White. You can get very exciting games in the Danish but you need to work hard for sure.

If you miss one little tactic in the Danish, you are dead meat.
