Opening Game Gambits and Sacrifices - (Can create a style of play)
Opening Game Gambits and Sacrifices - (Can create a style of play)
A chess game can be won or loss with a good or bad opening! However there is no substitute for simply outplaying your opponent. A strong or experience player can normally get pass most openings; However certain opening can destroy some of the weaker players, causing them to question their own play and believe it or not complain about there opponent play.
Opening gambits and piece sacrifices can cause complete disruption in some player game. Most players can easily defend these gambits and sacrifices after seeing them once or twice and there no reason to lose you confidence or your cool if you can't.
Piece sacrifices and gambit are great for creating a certain style of play as demonstrated in the games below.
A very good example of an openings piece sacrifice below:
The first game demonstrates the style of play that can be created with a bishop sacrifices to expose and weaken the king defense. The second game demonstrate a failed attempt to correctly defend against the bishop sacrifices.
JUST PLAY AND ENJOY THE GAME !

I would stick to gambits where you sacrifice a pawn max. You need to get some compensations for it. That is usually done by having more developed pieces. If we look at our game from yesterday's tournament you spent 3 moves of your knight to "sacrifice" him. And follow it up with moving queen to early. Result? I might have bit weak king, but it does not matter much because I have more developed pieces so it would be very hard to threaten my king. I am simply knight up and game is basically over.
Compare it with my (dubious but with piece up you can have fun without real risk) sacrifice of c7 pawn. It was intentional with Qd4 move (Qd6 would be proper) I sacrificed this pawn to get faster development, preparing actual attack.
Don't sacrifice just for sake of sacrificing, pieces are valuable so you need to have good reason to give them up. That being said I also plan to look on some gambits and learn them, they are fine in blitz games. Might write post about them later :)
Hey @kreur, I enjoy the after game analysis almost as much as the game itself, thanks for replying.
Good stuff!! I wished I found more patience to go into this more. Hope I follow-up here later again.

In a classic game or against a stronger player such a piece sacrifice could end badly! So this is quite risky - but fun!
Yes sacrificing a piece against you is very risky:) But all of my games against you are risky and end badly anyway. :):):)

Hi. I wrote on Lichess but will repeat here. Sorry for what I wrote, I really thought I have better winrate versus You.
Despite, I still think that sacrificing a knight or bishop is a bad idea and if it works versus me it only means that I am such bad player, not because it is such good idea.
And You have 51-49 versus me in all games, one day I will count manually only the games in which You sacrifice and maybe among those games I am a leader but You better when You don't sacrifice.
Hi @maciejficek, I accept your apology.
I recall a long winning streak against you where you resigned and decline to play two game. Of course we can look up the two games I am speaking about.
I welcome all conversation and opinions about chess however demanding that someone not play a certain type of game is a little ridiculous.
In the past (First game played in 1970) I have been a very good mentor and teacher to many very strong chess players. However I don’t think I will ever return to my level of play in the 70’s & 80’s but I will continue to improve because I still love the game of chess.
Hi.
It was not demanding, it was suggestion :). Sorry once again if You treated it as demanding.
I did not know You are such old either.
NOT OLD AT ALL :)
I probably can’t run a 4.3 second 40 yard dash now but maybe 5.3 second.
I was always the worst or almost the worst at sprints in school. Even obese were faster or at my level, whereas I was always slim and proper body development. Just school was requiring us to take a run once a half a year but nobody was ever training us even a single second. I surely was able to run faster but nobody told me how, I did not use full of my power. Another reason to hate memory about my schools...
On May I am going to attend first time in charity Wings for Life run. Maybe I will even use Hive money to pay for it!
