|
|
1... e5 2. f4
|
The King's Gambit a very powerful opening, giving up a pawn for the sake of
rapid development. The King's Gambit was very popular in Anderssen's day.
The King's gambit is very rarely seen in top chess today.

|
|
2... exf4
|
The most common move.... |
|
| |
|
|
3. Bc4
|
3. Nf3 prevents what black plays in this game..... |
|
| |
|
|
3... Qh4+
|
like that! |
|
| |
|
|
4. Kf1 b5
|
Black sacrifices a pawn to get the white bishop of the good diagonal but
white gets a pawn back... |
|
| |
|
|
5. Bxb5 Nf6 6. Nf3
|
White and Black are trying to develop their pieces as fast as they possibly can
for the attack. Nf3 develops with a threat! |
|
| |
|
|
6... Qh6
|
The Queen retreats....... |
|
| |
|
|
7. d3
|
White protects his e4 pawn and lets out his dark squared bishop. |
|
| |
|
|
7... Nh5
|
? Black is threatening 8. Ng3 9. hxg3 Qxh1 . But this move loses control over the center. But opening rules these days are don't move pieces twice in
opening unless you are forced to. Bring out all your pieces then try to attack is
another rule. |
|
| |
|
|
8. Nh4
|
Stopping the threat and looking at putting the Knight on the excellent f5
outpost where it attacks black's Queen.
|
|
| |
|
|
8... Qg5 9. Nf5
|
Look at how many times both players are moving the same pieces again and
again. |
|
| |
|
|
9... c6 10. g4 Nf6
|
? Black wastes more time. Black should have gone for the exchange, 10. cxb5
11. gxh5, even though White would retain an advantage. |
|
| |
|
|
11. Rg1
|
! White has really had enough! He defends his g4 pawn and sacrifices his b5
bishop so that his pawns can gain some time by chasing away Black's
Queen! |
|
| |
|
|
11... cxb5
|
Not wishing to be banned from all the future chess events, Black acceps the
gift and also glares at his opponent. |
|
| |
|

|
| |
|
