I'll give this a "?" because it just loses a pawn. |

putting the knight on a good square. However the gambit with "e4" is usually considered better in this line: d4 f5,e4 fxe4, Nc3 Nf6,Bg5. There is a trap here if black tries to hold teh pawn with "d5". Can you find it? Answer next. |

Defending the pawn. (The answer is Bxf6 exf6, Qh5 g6 and Qxd5 ;white has regained the pawn and will win another, putting them a clear pawn up.) |

Attacking the pawn. |

This works now because the Bishop can no longer go to g5. |

Keeping up the development but it's hard to belive its worth a whole pawn. |

Fortifying the centre and also keeping out ideas of Nb5. |

This is preparation for castling, although Qd2 may be better as it dosnt block the Bishop on f1. |

Forcing the active piece to retreat, or else to lose material. |

This is also a "?". The sacrifice was never going to work but its hard to see a good plan. Nh3 would still have been best though. |
