Off the Wall Chess - Queen's Pawn Counter Gambit
Submitted by billwall on Sun, 09/02/2007 at 7:11pm.
The opening 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d5 is known as the Queen's Pawn Counter Gambit, sometimes called the Elephant Gambit. It's rare at the master and grandmaster level, but seems playable. I've experimented with it in a few Internet games. Here is one of those games. We castled on opposite sides, so my attack started at his king, which castled queenside. I eventually broke through, winning the Queen, then mating.
