Subject: "An old gambit" mini tournament

Message:
An interesting line: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Bc4 Bc5 5.c3 dxc3 6.Nxc3 d6 7.Bg5 Nge7 8.Nd5 f6 9.Bxf6 with a complex attack.

If you are rated between 1900 and 2500 and would like to join, please play also moves 7 to 9 (mini tournaments allow to force only the first 6 moves).

Thanx, Alex

All moves to the 14th seem rather forced.

I'd much rather play 6. Bxf7+. It's much stronger for white and is more realistic in my humble opinion.

Good luck,

Ken

the only forced moves in the whole line are 9...gxf6 10.Nxf6+ Kf8 11.Qc1; for all the rest there're reasonable alternatives. Especially for moves 1 to 7, I suppose...

6.Bxf7+ could be stronger, but that's another line :)
