Queen's pawn, Bronstein gambit[edit]

1. d4 Nf6 2. g4 Nxg4 3. e4

I have seen this gambit elsewhere but not here. Gives up a pawn on the second move for center control, and fits into the most popular reply to 1. d4 Gives 2/10th cp edge to black according to deep rybka 3, but may be extremely useful against humans

Example line: 1. d4 Nf6 2. g4 Nxg4 3. e4 d5 4. Be2 Nf6

Board images[edit]

I would suggest that the board image (as shown for the first opening) be removed because it creates a large whitespace due to the article TOC that makes it initially confusing to review. Captchad (talk) 15:17, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Velikovsky Gambit?[edit]

It's a not insignificant plot motivator in this episode of RoboCop: The Series, and the episode relies on the viewer's knowledge of the gambit, but I can't find this gambit anywhere... Maybe that's a mistake of the writers, choosing a gambit that has little to no documentation, but knowledge of which is required to understand the tactics at the end of the episode. However, I think it would benefit Wikipedia to find what little documentation logic dictates exists on this gambit and add it to the list. Thanks. 50.168.176.243 (talk) 18:58, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure the name was made up by the writers, probably a reference to Immanuel Velikovsky. MaxBrowne (talk) 02:41, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Is that so? Well, then that's horrible storytelling. They assumed the viewer already knew what the Velikovsky Gambit was. They never explained it, so the brick never paid off. I think it's more likely that it's a lesser known gambit that the writers mistakenly thought was more well known than it was.50.168.176.243 (talk) 20:13, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I presume you can use google as well as I can. There is absolutely no such opening. MaxBrowne (talk) 01:43, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, not that anybody has published online, anyway. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist.50.168.176.243 (talk) 18:31, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Given the sheer volume of sites dedicated to chess, "If it's not on the internet it doesn't exist" is a reliable guide when it comes to names of chess openings. It's a TV show, a work of fiction, and scriptwriters are allowed creative license. MaxBrowne (talk) 01:25, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is true. However, if it were a gambit they just made up for the show, they would have explained it so it could have paid off at the end when it became part of the plot. Instead, they leave the audience confused about how what RoboCop did was related to the chess move from half an hour ago. I think that's sufficient evidence that the screenwriters at least believed it was a real gambit.50.168.176.243 (talk) 17:17, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Benoni Gambit[edit]

There has been some debate as to whether the Old Benoni a.k.a. Benoni Gambit 1.d4 c5 should be included as a gambit.


The argument against:

  • After 2.cxd5 black can regain the material with Qa5+.


The argument for:

  • Widely recognised and referred to as a gambit. Chess.com reads "The Old Benoni, also known as the Benoni Gambit".[1] According to Lichess.org/analysis, 1.d4 c5 2.dxc5 is "A43 Benoni Defense: Benoni Gambit Accepted".
  • The Chess Opening Theory wikibook refers to c5 as a gambit. "If White accepts the gambit with 2. dxc5...".[2]
  • If we are to exclude gambits simply because there is a means of regaining the material by force then we would also need to exclude, for example, the Sturm gambit for the same reason. The Sturm gambit begins 1.f4 d5 2.c4 and if black accepts the 'gambit' with 2...dxc4 then there is the follow up 3.Qa4+ regaining the pawn. Just as in the Benoni, this doesn't occur in practice since it is not a good continuation for the gambitter.
  • At the top level Qa5+ is almost never played since it is not good for black. Instead the gambit is left to stand with e6 and Na6 the most common replies. Ref: Lichess master database - only 4/70 games continue with Qa5+.

None of these are reliable sources, wikibooks is user-generated as are chess.com forums, and nor is lichess an authority on opening names. My preferred reference, the Oxford Companion to Chess, gives "Benoni Defence" rather than Benoni Gambit but it's possible other standard references do use the term "Benoni Gambit". I might resume my project of referencing anything I can find in reputable sources and deleting everything else, cause there's way too much junk in this article. Even better, delete this whole sorry mess because "gambit" is not an accepted subclassification of chess openings, it's just a word. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 22:00, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
1.d4 c5 is just the Old Benoni, a name I suspect it's had for 80 years or longer. A gambit is an offer of material in the hopes of obtaining compensation, but there's no offer of material here because White can't win a pawn. What you described as a "free pawn" isn't free since it is easy to regain it with 2...Qa5+ or 2...e6. I don't think 2...Qa5+ is bad for Black, but certainly other moves including 2...e6 are better. The Chess Opening Theory wikibook holds no weight here whatsoever, but the name "Benoni Gambit Accepted" is found in some other online sources which might satisfy WP:RS. "At the top level ..." -- at the top level 2.dxc5 is almost never played because it is not a good continuation for White. All that said, I don't think I've ever contributed anything significant to this article and it isn't important to me. Generally I think that people who are willing to put effort into an article should get greater say in the direction the article takes (subject to obvious constraints of WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, etc.), and I'm not going to fight about it. Quale (talk) 05:31, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting quote in Wade's Playing Chess (1974). [1]. "This is the Benoni Gambit (or as the Americans call it, the Benko Gambit)." The Benko Gambit is indeed a relatively recent name for an opening that's been known at least since the 1930s; it seems the old school players like Wade called it the "Benoni Gambit". I think this demonstrates clearly enough that "Benoni Gambit" is not a standard name for 1.d4 c5. The chess.com source is a self-published effort by Ryan Charlette, who's "just some guy". He has no standing as a chess writer or chess expert. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 05:44, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are a few different points here.
Firstly, what is the correct name for the opening? Personally, I think "Old Benoni" is still correct and hence why I have listed it as such. However, whether the opening contains the name "gambit" is not a deciding factor on whether it is a gambit (consider Fried Liver, Traxler) - I agree with MaxBrowne2 here.
Secondly, is the issue of whether black is even gambitting. We may consider that the Benoni Gambit only occurs after 2...e6 (or indeed any move other than Qa5+) when black has truly given up material, which as pointed out previously is the normal continuation especially at master level. Indeed, resources such as lichess only refer to the "gambit accepted" line and not the "gambit declined" lines. I would still argue though that the gambit begins after 1.d4 c5 - and I again refer to the Sturm Gambit as an example of another opening which is still considered a gambit after 1.f4 d5 2.c4 even though the material can be regained by force with 2...dxc5 3.Qa4+. Another example is the Brentano Gambit in the Ruy Lopez where black can recapture the material by force.
Finally, a gambit need not be regularly accepted at the top level to be considered a gambit. Consider the Queen's Gambit where 2...dxc4 only occurs in 12% of master games or the Vienna Gambit in which 3...exf4 occurs in 0% of games (for transparency, the Benoni Gambit is accepted in 4% of games).2A00:23C7:AAC:1A01:1D7E:35CD:CB87:90B6 (talk) 20:58, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I just don't think a piece by a random chess.com member is a sufficiently reliable (or credible) source for what is clearly a non-standard name for 1.d4 c5. The standard references call it "Benoni Defense" or "Old Benoni". MaxBrowne2 (talk) 02:40, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think anyone is disagreeing on this point. "Old Benoni" is definitely the most common name for this opening. The question is whether the Old Benoni should be considered a gambit. I would argue as per the above that it should. 146.162.241.241 (talk) 18:33, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well one good outcome from this is I did some research and improved the Benoni Defense article. I have a problem with the whole existence of this article because the word "gambit" is so ill defined. If you define it as "opening which has the word gambit in it", then it includes the Queen's Gambit, which isn't really a gambit. If you define it as "opening which involves the sacrifice or offer of material", then it includes the Two Knights Defense, in which the main line (5...Na5) involves a pawn sacrifice. Either way I'm not sure 1.d4 c5 can be defined as a gambit. Might have another try at getting this article deleted. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 19:22, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well Amen to that. Although I do think this list does a pretty good job at capturing openings with an essence of gambit and there aren’t many repositories online to look this up. I think it would be a shame to lose it. I’ve certainly discovered gambits on this page which I will now play in real life. Like g5 in the Ruy Lopez. 86.153.140.159 (talk) 06:01, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
