1. e4
FALKBEER COUNTER-GAMBIT White claims the center and opens lines for the King's Bishop and Queen

 
1... e5
The most popular answer to the King's opening, since this movement keep certain simmetry in the center, which is possitive for the black side

 
2. f4
White response with a King's Gambit. It sacrificies his f pawn to launch a quick attack on the black king. The problem is that when his attack is over, his defence turns weak.

 
2... d5
Falkbeer Counter-Gambit: I love this response for blacks, because it allows to get out both bishops

 
3. exd5
White accepts the gambit pawn

 
3... exf4
Until this move, things flow as usual

 
4. Nf3
Now, the game has turned into Abbazia defence, modern variation, which (IMAO) it offers a wider range of oportunities for the black side than for the white one

 
4... Nf6
Now, there is several ways to follow the gambit properly, I chose this variant to go on the attack, though perhaps the more logical way of doing it would be e4 or even c6

 
5. c4
White likes to protect his doubled pawn. Besides, he opens a way to get out his Queen and menace blacks' King

 
5... c6
Now black decides follow with Marshall/Nimzowitsch Counter-Gambi offering another pawn and covering the King from the Queen menace

 
6. dxc6
White break his doubled pawn column and opens a wide area in black pawns line

 
6... Nxc6
Of course this is the most natural response, since if bxc6, black leaves a pawn without any effective defence

 
7. d4 Bb4+
The black attack begins...

 
8. Bd2
Bd2! White tried to defence. He could choose among this movement or Nc3.

 
8... Qe7+
Black's attack goes on

 
9. Be2 Bg4
Black's attack III

 
10. O-O
0-0! IMAO, This is the best way to get rid of annoying Black pieces.

 
10... O-O
Okay, I had a doubt here, I wasn't sure if 0-0 or 0-0-0. I felt more weakness in the other side, so I got the short one. It is true that this one, doesn't allow me to be more agressive on attack...

 
11. Bxb4
Bxb4. Perhaps the white side should have continued with d5

 
11... Qxb4
Now, the final attack is served
