Wolga-Benko Gambit
This might well be the most "correct" (or at least interesting) gambit opening for Black.
This has been proved many times by Michael Adams. Even world champion Kasparov sometimes plays
this gambit.

Kings Gambit
This somewhat oldfashioned opening might be "refuted" on a super-grandmaster
level. However, for mere humans it is still an interesting opening for the
attacking player!

The Bird Opening
The Bird opening is named after H. E. Bird (1830 - 1910),
an english gentleman that transformed the "useless" move 1.f4 to a
opening system.
Even today many players are surprised, sometimes shocked when they
come across this seldom played move. This is a great chance for those
players who strive to avoid the usual paths of opening theory!
The following zip-compressed file (if you need a different compression format,
please send us an email!) contains nearly 3000 games played with this opening.
