Any Kings Gambit youtubers out there?
Kings gambit has been my main opening for years, since the very beginning. In terms of kings gambit content, theres a decent amount of beginners tutorials, and a just passable amount of advanced theory. But in terms of people actually PLAYING the gambit, its very minimal. Many content creators have dabbled but none more than a handful of times. Very little speedruns ever include kings gambit, or at least as far as I know.

Side note, I really think its an underrated opening, especially at the beginner level. No one recommends it. All you have to know is to play Nf3 to block the queen check. From my experience, about 90% of all games play out the exact same, and the other 10% they pick a line but don't know what they're doing. This is true well into the 1500-2000 range. The most common response by far is Nc6 or takes, Nc6. It obviously falls off at higher levels, but it consistently net me a small advantage in every game I played while learning, and taught me how to convert pawn advantages into wins.
