What are some gambits for beginners?

As a Chess beginner,I only play very few openings.But however,I am also interested in knowing Chess gambits.So if y'all have any gambits for beginners to play,or ones beginners should not play,you are welcome to type anything about that in the Chat!

The ONLY gambits I think a beginner should be playing are the Evans Gambit as White and the Polerio Defense as Black. Even then, however, I’d still recommend for beginners who want to play the Italian that White play the Giuoco Pianissimo Mainline against both the Two Knights and Giuoco Piano or the Center Attack against the Giuoco Piano and the Open against the Two Knights, and that Black just play the Giuoco Piano.

Stay away from gambits. Most beginners have poor endgame skills and that is why they do not appreciate the value of a pawn. Each pawn is a queen to be. In the long run you will benefit more from not playing gambits and from accepting gambits from your opponent.

Don't listen to haters! gambits rule, often at +8% stats at the amateur level where you deny pawn pushers their safe comfy development and mate that lala in 10 moves where endgames are "what are those?"

All of MY winning is with gambits

Kings gambit is old familiar fried liver with a side order of semi open f file. Love those. I REALLY want to try the super open and simple double danish with scotch goring in the sidelines. I didn't like the suggestion of the 2200 that steered me to BDG against the scandinavian. The faster at f7 3.f3 gedult variation works better for me, but 3.nc3 main line BDGers have great stats. I'm not a knight on c before f player in general. I do bad in any such line except smith morra gambit in the sicilian

Alapin diemer gambit french is where ive finally equalized against the french and the 3.Be3 plan is even BETTER against the carokann. I've played this EXACT same game, with possible ...Nf6/...Bg4 transposition 3 times

The complete opposite of this is true. Almost all good players play sharp and aggressive openings (including gambits) when they are kids. Good gambits give a lead in development, initiative, and a simple plan to follow, all that for a small price.

Judit Polgar played many gambits (like the King's Gambit and the Benko Gambit) until she was over 2500 rated. Occasionally even after that.

As a 200 it's better to stay away from gambits.However I would play the kings gambit and lazard gambit for black

Scotch gambit, king's gambit, Evans gambit and many more.

I am not a gambit player. I like my pawns too much. but I do play one gambit line in the Polish opening.

But if I had to recommend two gambit lines:

for white, the Blackmar Diemer gambit.

for black, the Benko gambit.

understand though, that just because you offer a gambit does not mean that it will be accepted. So, you will need to know the declined lines as well.

the Smith morra is also reasonable against the Sicilian. and cuts down on the amount of theory one needs to know as white.

you will get many varied opinions on the subject of gambits.

I think as white, the Goring gambit and evans gambit are extremely powerful! Even I, a positional pawn pusher, have thought of playing them.
Smith morra is also very strong!

In the end, you should play what you like.

I should try to learn the Smith-Morra gambit because I want ways to combat the Sicillian when I face it.

it was the FIRST opening i started beating the sicilian with, and it's sound all the way to 2500, though white plays a few different lines then.

nakumura is the world's TOP gambiteer. he's currently rated 3336

playing gambits comes down to style and just how important the attack is. i personally hate all pawns so getting some out of the way and trading them for more active pieces is a win win in my world

englund gambit hartlaub chalick variation is a dream come true for me it helps me do my thing my way and has easy main line plans. forget the -2 points. I think of it as pawns out of the way for rapid development with a trappy fully open d file to 0-0-0 into... even BETTER than a semi-open fi file

no annoying for me fianchettos with flexible wide open bishops through the center placement. most of the time too, you just follow the same basic opening plan, though some players attack too fast on your queenside and make you develop less freely, but overall, very much fun to play with plenty of great problem solving potential with built in tools, like instead of exploiting the Bxh2+ x-ray on the d1 queen right away, drawing her back to d2 with a poisoned exchange for a freebie in one game. oh I love that open d file!

You should definitely try the Halloween Gambit. It is kind of risky, but is worth it as most of your opponents are dumb and blunder their knight(s) at some point.

Also, be sure to try this at all Elo levels because it is effective and even higher Elo players will fall for it. For more info, watch Top Chess's video about the Halloween Gambit.

The Smith-Morra Gambit is also good for combating the Sicilian, an opening commonly seen at mid-Elo levels. If you enjoy playing the Italian game, try out the Evans Gambit. At lower Elo levels, fewer people play the Giucio Piano though. If you want to dominate the chessboard, be sure to try the Tennison Gambit, better known as the ICBM gambit. It is a very good counter to the very common Scandinavian defense, played commonly by lower Elo players

I also forgot to add the main line that higher Elo players usually do since it branches off into way too many different positions

here is just one variation of the main line

One of my Mentors suggested 3 openings to study, my choice. 1 as white, 2 as black (1 to counter d4, the other against e4). One of these openings should be classical, another hypermodern and the third a gambit. In that way you are used to dealing with open / closed positions, strategy and tactics ( especially when down material ). Your choices and favorites should then lead you to other openings of your tendancies and strong points.

The good thing about playing a gambit as a beginner is that if one really studies one's games it teaches use of the initiative and tactical ability. The bad thing about playing a gambit as a beginner is that it can send you down a rabbit hole in which one just believes in Magic Openings (there aren't any) and Reliable Tricks Which Guarantee An Opening Advantage (ditto). There is also the problem that those gambits which don't simply give an opponent a great game if they play sensibly and don't fall into traps tend to be fiendishly difficult to learn (for example the King's Gambit is a strategic nightmare to wrap one's head around given the plethora of possible Black defences). For beginners, the Danish Gambit (1. e4, e5; 2. d4, ed; 3. c3) might be decent. Simple to learn the ideas, free piece play, either you grasp the initiative or you're worse. But even that should really just be a learning tool.
