Interesting Kings Gambit game answered by Cunningham defence. (Over in 25moves)
I like the kings gambit, main reason I dont play it is E4 can be met with C6 and other various opening moves other than E5. Taking the game away from whites initial plans, meaning to much study time.
No in depth alternative moves I'm afraid, if you have any questions on move choice I will try to answer them as best I can.

7. Bxe3 fxe3 8. Bc4
|
A little later than expected. |
|
| |
|
|
8... d6 9. O-O

Qd3 first with the option of castling queenside looks more accurate. |
|
| |
|
|
9... O-O 10. Qd3 Nc6 11. exd6 cxd6

Bd6 seems better |

! this is effective repositioning of the knight; will force black to exchange his main defender of the kings side |
|

17... Bd7 18. Nf5 Bxf5 19. Rxf5 Qh4 20. c3

If black takes rook, Qf6+, Kg8, Rg3# |
|

|
25. Rf5xf7
|
Black resigns with mate looming. Sharp & powerful game for white. |
