Here is another Kings Gambit game annotated for your viewing pleasure. The Fisher defence. After losing to Spasky in 1960 Fisher came up with this 3...d6 to refute the Kings Gambit. He called it a high class waiting move. Basically stopping the Knight getting to e5. Only choice would be to head for g5 which is unsound therefore he has to return home. Anyway read on and all will be revealed!
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 d6
Fisher defense. I think alot of people play this move because it is the 'Fisher' move. Black seems to struggle alot in a lot of lines so has to tread very carefully.

 
4. d4 g5 5. h4 g4 6. Ng1
As I said earlier could take Ng5 but its very unsound. This is the book position which is very strange considering after 6 moves we have a load of passed pawns and no minor or major pieces developed.

 
6... Nf6
Black attacks e4. Prob hoping to buy time and defend the f pawn on h5.

 
7. Bxf4
Takes the pawn exchange although could be viewed as a mistake since whites pawn was central and black would have had to waste valuable time & effort defending f pawn.

 
7... Nxe4
No choice.

 
8. Bd3
Better than Nc3

8... Qe7 9. Ne2
Stopping revealed check & losing Queen.

 
9... Bg7 10. O-O O-O 11. Bxe4
White has a lead in development with the open file.

 
11... Qxe4 12. Nbc3 Qc6 13. Qd2 d5
To stop Bh6

 
14. Ng3 Qf6
Black is restricted here. Unable to develop his pieces he looks to pick up a pawn to make himself feel better!

 
15. Be5 Qxh4
Gets his free pawn!

 
16. Bxg7
Exposes King. Blacks only developed piece here is his Queen.

 
16... Kxg7 17. Nxd5 f5
Knight on g3 is safe as would lead to mate in 3 if Queen takes.

 
18. Qf4 Nc6 19. Nxc7 Rb8 20. Rae1
White is loaded up. Had better development and control of the open and semi open file. Smart play should lead to a victory from here.

 
20... Kg8 21. d5 Ne7 22. Nh5
! Black has to take exchange. If he doesnt 23.Qh3 which at best would result in lost Queen.

 
22... Qxh5 23. Rxe7 b5
Making room to get rook into help out the defense.

 
24. Rfe1
WHites rooks are now conected on an open file. Black is in serious danger.

 
24... Rb6 25. d6
Blocks the rooks involvement and the prospect of promotion could become a real thorn in blacks side.

 
25... Qh4 26. g3 Qf6
A nice little finishing combo for yall.

 
27. Ne8 Qxb2 28. Qg5+ Kh8 29. Rxh7+
Rook sac :)
