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 :)
