Goring Gambit
Goring Gambit is very interesting and aggressive opening against 1.e4 e5, someone says that this opening is not good for high level players… but what it means? Wolrd Champion, titled players,club players? I had very good result with this opening in my chess tournaments, it’s a surprise and is very hard for black find a good way to have a good game. I hope that my videos can help you to master this opening in your games!

Videos 1-4 Goring Gambit Accepted
When black accepts the pawn and he takes on c3, black will be a pawn up but white has a very strong compensation for it because he has a good advantage about the development in a open position
Videos 5-7 Goring Gambit Refused (d5 variation)
In this case black refuses the pawn to avoid all the complications about the accepted variation, the most important variation is the push d5 to play against the isolated pawn
