Let's talk about defenses to the King's Gambit
If you play 1... e5, you've run into the King's Gambit at some point. And if you're anything like me, the positions make absolutely no sense once you get about 5 moves in. So let's talk about it. What defense do you play against the King's Gambit? What are the main ideas for black? How do you survive when White is throwing everything they have at you? What resources have you used to learn more about the black side of this opening?

I play g5 on move 3 - don’t remember what it’s called. Very few people respond with the “best” h4 which gives me some attacking chances instead of just defending a passive position.
(Then I go g4 and Qh5 in many lines)
