1. e4

I usually play d4 first move but recently i saw a beautiful game with a variation in king's gambit that i never saw before: 3.Bc4 instead of Nf3.
I thought that in king's gambit not to play 3.Nf3 is madness.I already won 2 or 3 games with this variation and lost only one.I like it very much because it leads to open game with great attacking potential from both sides.
So i start with e4 and hope for e5

|
1... e5
|
e5 it is |

|
|
|
2. f4 exf4
|
ok, the gambit is accepted
|

|
|
|
3. Bc4
|
As I said, I thought that anything else than Nf3 is suicide but apparently it isn't :) |

|
|
|
3... Bc5
|
In the game that made me fall in love with this variation, 3rd move from black is Qh4 and Bc5 is 4th move
continued with 5. d4 |

|
|
|
4. Bxf7+ Kxf7 5. Qh5+ g6 6. Qd5+
|
I was hoping that he'll move the king to f8 maybe and then i can take the bishop with tempo, i had nothing to lose with this move, just postponing on taking the bishop |

|
|
|
6... Kg7 7. Qxc5 d6 8. Qc4
|
f7 square is very important for my attack because i'll try to castle and open up f file for my rook |

8... Nf6 9. Nf3 h6 10. d4 g5
|
protecting f-pawn, it took him 2 moves to do that |

|
|
|
11. Nc3
|
don't know why i made that move... 0-0 was better |

|
|
|
11... Re8
|
first sign of aggression from him |

|
|
|
12. e5 Bf5
|
can't take the knight because the pawn is pinned |

|
|
|
13. O-O Ne4 14. Nh4
|
my first try to open up the f file
if he takes then 15. Rxf4 an from my analysis the worst case scenario for me is winning a pawn which isn't so bad :)
|

|
|
|
14... Bh7
|
he decides not to take it and moves the bishop to safety
maybe Be6 is better here, attacking my queen |

|
|
|
15. Bxf4
|
ok, time for the second try |

|
|
|
15... Nxc3
|
not accepting the sacrifice again, but the file is open now |

|
|
|
16. Bxg5 hxg5
|
he finally accepts the sacrifice and it allows me a nice cobination for the end |

|
|
|
17. Rf7+ Kh8
|
this or Kh6 is pretty much the same
he can hold it a little longer by playing Kg8 but the result is the same-->checkmate
|

|
|
|
18. Rxh7+ Kxh7
|
forced |

|
|
|
19. Qf7+
|
and he resigns
if Kh8 -> Ng6#
if Kh6 -> Qg6#
for the next few games king's gambit is my openning :)
