	Seagaard - Chess Reviews
		However, there is no mention of the fact, that Danish Dynamite was a term invented, when the Danish national football team impressed the world in the mid 80’ies, reaching its peak in Mexico 1986.
		The Danish Gambit 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 is by the way called "Nordic Gambit" in Denmark, in recognition of the fact that at least Swedes helped developing this violent Opening.
		"Danish Dynamite" seems to be one in a new range of books and articles on "daring but maybe suspect" gambits, that due to the possibility of computer assisted analysis digs so deep, that it tends to prove them unattractive or even unplayable from a theoretical point of view.

	Gambit
		A gambit is a chess opening, where something is sacrificed in order to achieve a better strategic position.
		Usually, the piece sacrificed is a pawn, but there are also gambits in which it's a whole Bishop or Knight, like the Muzio gambit (1.e4 e5 2.f4 xf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4 g4 5.0-0) and Cochrane gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nxf7).
		The word gambit stems from the Italian 'gambetta' which means: setting a trap.

		Although it may have been known earlier, Danish player Severin From essayed the gambit in an 1867 Paris tournament and he is usually given credit for the opening.
		The Danish gambit was popular with masters of the attack including Alekhine, Marshall, Blackburne, and Mieses, but as Black's defenses improved it lost favor in the 1920s.
		The Danish Gambit is a variation of the Center Game that is important enough to be treated on its own.

	Gambit at AllExperts
		A gambit is a chess opening in which something, usually a pawn, but sometimes even a piece, is sacrificed in order to achieve an advantage.
		A good example is the Danish Gambit: 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 dxc3 (3...d5 would be a way of refusing the gambit) 4.Bc4 cxb2 5.Bxb2.
		The word "gambit" was originally applied to chess openings in 1561 by Spanish priest RÃºy LÃ³pez de Segura, who was an admirer of Giovanni Gambetto, first chess player to use this kind of subterfuge, in the 12th century.

		During the early moves of our second ICCF encounter with this gambit in the finals of the 13th USCC Championship (US13F), Mark very kindly invited me to guest-write three articles on this opening for his column.
		Therefore the student is strongly advised to study the theory of both openings, as transpositional opportunities abound.
		This gambit has some very large teeth, and I would never feel comfortable playing 4...dxc3 as fl vs a very strong player, in the fear that he would have some new "sockdolager" in the offing.

		Instead, Grandmaster Karsten Müller and FIDE Master Martin Voigt bring a touch of the German method to the analysis of these explosive groups of classical open games where White goes for out-and-out attack based on an early e4, d4 and Bc4, often with c2-c3 to follow.
		Müller and Voigt do not confine themselves to the Danish Gambit alone but they examine a whole family of related opening variations that share some common characteristics.

	Gambit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A gambit is a chess opening in which material (usually but not always a single pawn), is sacrificed in order to achieve an advantage.
		There are three general methods in which a gambit can help a player's position.

	Chess -- Gambits
		In chess a gambit is simply sacrificing a piece to achieve a better position on the board.
		Typically in a gambit it is a pawn that is sacrificed, but there are times where perhaps a bishop or knight is the piece that is sacrificed in the gambit.
		Your opponent may be familiar with the gambit and elect not to take your sacrificial pieces to keep you from having an advantage.

	Chess openings: Center Game (C21)
		Let me say this one more time, citing an authority (not you): the Goering Gambit and the Scotch Gambit are the same thing; the only difference is that in some forms of the Scotch Gambit the move 4.Bc4 is interpolated (e.g., 4.Bc4 Bc5 5.c3 dxc3 6.Nxc3).
		In the Danish Gambit, the c-file is only half open, and so fl has a pawn there to defend/advance/whatever.
		I think the idea is to make the gambiteer prove that he has compensation, while you greedily hold out for the endgame (thus hopefully defeating the gambit).

	Charting Chess Openings
		This move is the last in a sequence of moves which defines the opening called the Danish Gambit.
		Index, which follows the diagrams, we see that to the right of the words, "Danish Gambit," is the abbreviation K- 30.2, meaning that this particular opening is defined on page K, row 30, column 2.
		All of these may still be grouped under the name Queen's Gambit Declined, but the commonness of their usage has made them more than just continuations or variations; they are, indeed, openings in their own right.

		The line with the Danish gambit looks sturdy as well: You take whatever pawns are offered to you, consolidate the center, and post your knight in a very imposing c5 square.
		Despite the fact that a nasty transposition appeared it is still possible to deal with it in the same manner that we disposed of the Danish gambit.
		The path is far from being completed in the construction of this sample repertoire but the remaining openings are studied in about the same way as with the Danish gambit.

	The Chess Mind On M. Nieuweboer on the Goring and Danish Gambits
		As I wrote in an old post, the evaluation of a "slight advantage" should be interpreted in either statistical or psychological terms or as a statement of the sides' relative margin of error.
		After 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 d5 4.exd5 Qxd5 5.cxd5 Nc6 it is White, who can chose to play for a draw with 6.Nf3 Bg4 and copy eg Ghizdavu-Thornally, USA 1975, or to play for a win with 6.Be3.
		If I had to face the Danish as Black, I would not be comfortable with leaving White this choice.

		Their book actually covers the Danish Gambit, the Goering Gambit, some Scotch Gambits, and the Urusov Gambit.

	Exeter Chess Club: Gambit Play
		He thought that gambit play was not only generally good training in the arts and whiles of attack and defence, but also gambits give the whole endeavour a certain urgency.
		A gambit is a sacrifice of a Pawn to gain some return - quicker development, greater command of the centre, or both.
		The advantage in development is not to be assessed in the immediate aftermath of a gambit, because the gambiteer may have so much activity that the opponent may have to waste time untangling before developing.

		The Danish Gambit in which White offers a pawn with 3.c3 is considered a separate opening.

		Maybe it should instead be called the Vampire Gambit because it is dead yet refuses to stay buried.
		Psychologically, opponents often don't play in a stable and rational way when they believe their game is won from a very early stage and they tend to underestimate their opponents.
		This "interpretation" of the Smith-Morra Gambit (f4 instead of c3) seems utterly bizarre at first sight, and even less likely to work than the main Hal sz Gambit since Black has not weakened his kingside.

		1.e4 d5 2.exd5 c6 3.dxc6 e5 - it looks like a reversed Danish gambit but I don't know anything about that, so I didn't have much good advice to offer, except not taking on b7 as he did, since that is most likely why fl plays this way...
		If the Danish Gambit is dubious from the white side, to give the defending player (in this case, white) a whole extra tempo seems suicidal.
		I hesitate to enter the theoretical debate, but on a historical note you might be interested to learn that this was the favourite blitz weapon of GM Keith Arkell when he was about 13.
