 200 King’s Gambit Declined

INTRODUCTION
Chess players through the ages have derived particular pleasure from
victories achieved in short order. This is a collection of 200 recent chess
miniatures (games ending in 25 moves or less) derived from the King’s
Gambit Declined (1.e4 e5 2.f4, without 2…exf4).
The King’s Gambit, 1.e4 e5 2.f4, offers a pawn to Black in order to
build a strong center for White. There are two main branches of the King’s
Gambit. Black has a choice of accepting the pawn offer (1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4)
and playing the King’s Gambit Accepted (KGA), or declining the offered
pawn. This book concentrates on the lesser-played King’s Gambit Declined
(KGD).
The King’s Gambit is one of the oldest documented openings, going as
far back as the 16th century. The King’s Gambit is less frequently seen on
the top level nowadays, although grandmaster Magnus Carlsen, the world’s
highest rated player, recently played it in 2010 as White and won against
grandmaster Wang Yue, ranked number 10 in the world.
The King’s Gambit has not been refuted, and several grandmasters
continue to use it. The opening is more frequently seen in club play or in
correspondence games or on the Internet as a sound gambit. The King’s
Gambit is still appealing to aggressive players who like exciting open games.
While accepting the gambit pawn may be best, there are quite a few
good variations in the King’s Gambit Declined that give chances for Black.
White must be careful to avoid the many chess traps in the KGD. The KGD
requires a thorough understanding of many tactical variations as well as
sound positional play for both sides.
The Classical Defense in the KGD is 1.e4 e5 2.f4 Bc5. The Encyclopedia
of Chess Openings (ECO) classifies this opening as C30, along with other
irregular second moves by Black. Black can also play 1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5, the
Falkbeer Counter gambit (C31). The main line in the Falkbeer Counter
gambit is 1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5 3.exd5 e4 (C32).
In this collection of King’s Gambit Declined games, almost every game
mistake is swiftly punished – and thus this collection may be studied as a
source of opening traps and lines to be avoided, or merely as a series of
tactical games to be enjoyed. Furthermore, the collection of most recent
KGD games also shows the latest trends in this opening by players.
Every game has light annotations for improved play or explanation.
Also, every game has a diagram, usually after a mistake or error has been
played that can be exploited and punished. The games represent play of all
strengths, from grandmaster to woodpusher from all over the world.
Enjoy.

 The King’s Gambit is one of the oldest documented
openings, going as far back as the 16th century. . There
are two main branches of the King’s Gambit. Black
has a choice of accepting the pawn offer (1.e4 e5 2.f4
exf4) and playing the King’s Gambit Accepted (KGA),
or declining the offered pawn. This book concentrates
on the lesser-played King’s Gambit Declined (KGD).
In this collection of King’s Gambit Declined games,
almost every game mistake is swiftly punished – and
thus this collection of 200 miniatures from olayers all
across the world may be studied as a source of opening
traps and lines to be avoided, or merely as a series of
tactical games to be enjoyed.

Bill Wall is the consummate Chess purveyor of

anything to do with chess. His websites are the gleaning
ground of masters, mid players and chess probies. His
sites are a virtual encyclopedia of insightful resources
like strategic openings, chess miniatures, chess his-
tory, chess masters, chess trivia, chess links as well as
interesting obscurities such as Ajeeb the Automaton,
Blindfold chess, Movies with chess scenes, Celebrities
and chess, Nicknames of chess players, Excuses in chess, and my favorite:
Annoying your opponent - best techniques just to mention a few.
Bill Wall is the author of over 30 books and his chess miniatures series is
standard in the dedicated chess players library. Bill wrote this book because
he says that understanding trap positions is key to playing a better game.
Weather avoiding traps or setting them, this book will be a secret weapon in
your arsenal.
