Is kings gambit good?

> ... Start out with Logical Chess Move by Move by Irving Chernev ... so look at it free at The Internet Archive or buy the book & read it ... the 33 games & book can be done in three weeks easily or 4 weeks or even 2 weeks . The point being you can get a new book every month & ...
I suggest getting the Batsford edition in algebraic notation (1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 etc.) instead of the older descriptive notation (1. P-K4, P-K4 2. N-KB3 etc.) version. Along with updating the notation, GM John Nunn did some revision.
By the way, many chess books would be much slower reading than Logical Chess.
I play king's gambit but the computer doesn't like it. I play the three pawns gambit when available.
Yeah its good as long as your opponent isnt prepared for it lol. Almost nobody will accept it these days though and instead after 1) E4 -E5. 2 F4 theyll play a counter-gambit with D5 and you gotta be ready for that .After every time you play F4 count on it.
