1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Bc4
|
4. Bc4 - This is the King Bishop's Gambit arising out of the KGA. Develops a piece and hits at f7. Black can check on h4 here but this is not advisable. Check out a game between Anderssen and Kiezeritzky where Kiezeritzky lost spectacularly. I have seen that particular game in several regicide manuals but it could be found on the net. |

3... g5
|
3. ......... g5 - supports the f pawn, black usually follows this up with Bg7 but chooses to play Nh6 on the next move. |

4. h4 Nh6 5. Qh5
|
5. Qh5! - where there is a queen on h5 or h4 in the opening, there's Old Matey! |
|

|
|
5... Qe7
|
5. .......... Qe7 - this queen move adds to the defense of f7 should the knight on h6 have to move or get swapped off. Black now makes a lot of queen moves from move 7 onwards. Had it been me, I would have done everything I could to shift that wood from the back row! Mind you, after my KGA game against Master Chrisobee I have plenty of room to talk! |

6. Nc3
|
6. Nc3 - good sensible development here - defends the e pawn. White plays d3 next move to open a line for the dsb. This dsb will spell doom for black very shortly. |

6... g4 7. d3 Qf6
|
7. ........ Qf6 - trying to hang on to the f pawn and hold things together but would Nc6 or d5 be a better try here? |

8. Nd5
|
8. Nd5 - black queen must move again. |

|
8... Qd6 9. Bxf4
|
9. Bxf4 - the f pawn drops anyway. |

11. Be5 - nice, neat bishop fork! |
|

11... Bxb4+
|
11............. Bb4 - a spite check only, after 12 Ke2 black has no follow up checks so waves the white flag. Excellent development here brings you great rewards. Well played dmaestro! Joanne |
