Göring Gambit
The Göring Gambit is a relative of the Danish Gambit that starts with 4.c3. Black can equalise by transposing to the Danish declined with 4...d5, often known as the Capablanca Variation; alternative ways of declining include 4...Nf6, 4...d3 and the relatively unexplored 4...Nge7. Alternatively Black can take the pawn with 4...dxc3; White can then transpose into the Danish by offering a second pawn with 5.Bc4. Black can accept the second pawn with 5...cxb2 6.Bxb2 d6 (6...Bb4+ is quite a popular alternative), which is risky, but Black can defend after either 7.Qb3 Qd7 or 7.0-0 Be6 8.Bxe6 fxe6 9.Qb3 Qd7. Black often declines the second pawn with 5...d6, usually leading to complications after 6.Nxc3 Nf6 7.Qb3 Qd7 8.Ng5 Ne5. To remain in the Göring proper, White recaptures with his knight with 5.Nxc3 and Black can defend with 5...Bb4 6.Bc4 d6, or 5...d6 leading to the same variations as 4...dxc3 5.Bc4 d6.

The oldest game with the Göring Gambit might be Meek-Morphy, 1st USA Congress New York 1857. Carl Theodor Göring (uncle of the infamous Hermann) started playing it in 1872. Note that Göring himself always played the double gambit with 5.Bc4, thus adding more confusion to the nomenclature. Ljubomir Ljubojevic has played it a couple of times, but before he became a grandmaster.

The Göring Gambit is not popular at master level, as its soundness is open to question and Black also has the equalising option 4...d5, but it remains popular at club level where it gives White reasonable practical chances. It is recommended to study the Göring Gambit in connection with the Danish.
