Danish gambit (in Russian books I often face Nordic gambit ) is very sharp attempt by white to go for attack from the very beginning . Unlike the King's gambit , here white sacrifices 2 pawn for quick development and attack. White's both bishops are placed on long diagonals to shoot on black's kingside . But, appears that black even under such an attack , can make advantage , as 2 extra pawns will come so handy in middle game and endgame . So , with careful play black must snatch the early advantage. The Author suggests this opening against weaker opponents , and also in blitz games. Anyway, if the opponent is not experienced , white can punish him.
