at my lowly level (~1600) i want white to prove his attack to me. i will even allow the muzio (1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf 3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4) b/c i have faith in the (lack of) attacking prowess of my peers ;)
As an initial note, it seems the overwhelming majority accept the opening. I experimented with the Falkbeer Counter-Gambit for a long time (which technically is a "decline" of the King's Gambit) and scored well with it, but now I opt for accepting it.
i like to play 1...e5 against 1.e4, and i like so much to answer 2.f4 with 2...exf4. my favorite variation is with 3... Be7 and 3...g5 after 3.Nf3.
i think the king gambit acceptation will give better chance for black, IF the black player could survive the storm of attack withoout giving back materials...
