	Chessville -Psychology of Gambit Chess Openings - by Clyde Nakamura (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A gambit chess opening involves the sacrifice of one or more pawns, pieces or even a combination of pawns and pieces in the opening part of the game to obtain compensation in terms of better central control, better development of pieces or some other kind of advantage.
		Playing a gambit chess opening in a chess game requires a different mindset from playing a regular chess opening where no pawns or pieces are sacrificed early in the opening.
		A gambit player may hold the endgame a pawn down but if you are down two pawns you will probably not hold the endgame to a draw.

	[No title]
		Once known as the Queen's Pawn's Counter Gambit (1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 d5!?), this daring thrust by Black has 19th century origins and ever since has been revived as a surprise weapon from time to time.
		Unlike some recently-invented Gambits which are not mentioned in many books, there is a certain amount of information on this counter-gambit in the sort of books that the average player is likely to consult.
		Here the gambit is not accepted at once, but the knight takes up a potentially strong post.

	Gambit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	What's the Deal With the BDG?
		In this respect the BDG resembles the Smith-Morra Gambit (1 e4 c5 2 d4 cxd4 3 c3), another line that's popular at club level but scorned by pros even though there's no consensus on the best way to answer it.
		Still, I was sufficiently reassured about White's prospects to continue looking at the gambit and eventually to play it from time to time in tournaments.
		Blackmar's original 19th century gambit was 1 d4 d5 2 e4 dxe4 3 f3 but 3...e5 proved a troublesome rejoinder.

		Well the kings gambit has been performing extremely well for me and so i decided the next step was to start playing e5.
		Although a huge fan of the Elephant, I have a feeling that in time we'll be able to scrap this one too - fl gives away a central pawn with very little justification, and I don't believe that he can or should be able to get away with it.
		As for the doubting Thomases, let me renind them that the myth of the gambit's refutability is actually one of its assets.Well-prepared, but lower-ranked players may spring this gambit on unsuspecting opponents and go on to win.

		You could also try the good old King's Gambit (or the related Vienna Gambit), the Scotch/Goring/Danish Gambits (vaguely similar), the Wing (as an alternative to the Smith-Morra against the Sicilian), and the Milner-Barry (against the French defence).
		I'll make one exception to the latter: the Benko Gambit is a pretty good line: not 'sharp' exactly, but one that gives Black a clear line of play to pursue, for the cost of a pawn.

	Chessville - Openings - The Omega Gambit (1.d4 Nf6 2.e4) Part 2 - by Clyde Nakamura (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This is an interesting counter gambit that occurred in the first known Omega Gambit game Warren-Dr. Selman 1936.
		It appears to be a reverse Elephant Gambit position (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d5) but White has arrived at the position one move too early, so the tactics in this position are different.

	Chess - Volume I
		Introducing a new book, two volumes bound together as one book, not only containing an astonishing new “pure gambit” named the Miami Variation, but a very delightful, interesting and insightful adventure through a unique perspective of historical chess.
		Whatever unfolds from this point, White will have central control, lead in development, the initiative and it is White not Black who will get the first emerging tactical opportunities.
		Accurate play by Black is necessary to hold and neutralize the initial gains of the opposition, and it will be difficult to demonstrate anything better than equality, or that White cannot claim real compensation for the gambit pawn.

	Elephant Gambit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Elephant Gambit (also called the Queen's Pawn Counter Gambit or Englund Counterattack) is a rarely played chess opening beginning with the moves (in algebraic chess notation):
		In this gambit, Black ignores the attack on his e-pawn and immediately tries to wrest the initiative from White.
		The resulting position can be sharp for White, and thus may be a good surprise opening for Black.

		Aided by his sneering, superior, shape-changing, 15-pound fellow agent, Webley (an irascible alien whose comments on Earth people and their customs are incendiary), Hannibal Fortune, granted the special "License to Tamper," tries to foil the plots of Gregor Malik, who seeks to control the future by changing the past.
		In The Flying Saucer Gambit, Hannibal and Webley travel from the year 2572 to Kansas in the year 1966 to investigate the death of a fellow T.E.R.R.A.'s Resident Agent.
		Never having been a pawn, the handsome, debonair agent was often referred to by those in the Agency's upper echelons as a Bishop or Rook in the mind-staggering chess game between the Federation and Empire.

		The first book, "The Flying Saucer Gambit," was initially a manuscript for an Ace Books U.N.C.L.E. paperback, but AA Wyn thought it was too "science-fictiony" for the U.N.C.L.E. series.
		The first three books were the Flying Saucer Gambit, Golden Goddess Gambit, and The Emerald Elephant Gambit.
		The fourth book, The Time Trap Gambit, a sequel to #3, The Emerald Elephant Gambit, came out over two years later and was published as a straight SF novel with neither the logo nor even a reference to the previous books.
