What are some of the most outlandish chess gambits?"
I was pleased to find this question as the title for a page on the Quora website.
Listed are:
Halloween Gambit1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Nxe5??
Muzio Gambit1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4 g4 5.0–0?
Traxler Counter Attack1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 Bc5?
Elephant Gambit
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d5?!
Paris Gambit1.Nh3?? d5 2.g3 e5 3.f4? Bxh3 4.Bxh3 exf4 5.0–0 fxg3 6.hxg3
Italian Gambit1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.d4?!
Leonhardt Gambit1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5 4.b4?!
Of course, if you keep looking, of course, you will find the Jerome Gambit.
What is especially nice about the page is that it has links to three fun videos by Mato Jelic:
"The Birth of a Jerome Gambit"
"Is the Jerome Gambit Sound?"
"Practical Application of the Jerome Gambit"
I have mentioned the videos previously, but they are always worth a revisit.
