1. e4 e5 2. d4 |
usually leads to a centre game if black takes.... | ||||
| | |||||
|
2... exd4 3. c3 |
bam! the mighty Danish Gambit! | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... dxc3 |
he accepts the first pawn | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. Bc4 |
takes a diagonal | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... cxb2 |
accepts the second pawn | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. Bxb2 |
takes the long diagonal, and now the material advantage is his, but i control most of the board | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... Ne7 |
not the best defence here, d5 is actually book, while d5 does give me back a pawn, it opens up blacks pieces very nicely, ne7 leads to an even more cramped position | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. Nf3 |
developing, preparing to castle, and bring the rook into play | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... d5 |
he now tries to gambit the pawn back to me, after blocking his bishop in, not the best move really, Bg5 was better | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. exd5 |
i take the free pawn, but i can't afford to trade the bishop off yet, as im still down a pawn, and owning the diagonals is paramount in the Danish Gambit | ||||
| | |||||
|
7... Nf5 |
freeing his bishop | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. O-O |
brings the rook into play | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... Bd6 |
starts a kingside push, prepares to castle | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. Re1+ |
forces him to retreat either the knight or the bishop and lets me take the pawn on g7 | ||||

|
9... Ne7 10. Bxg7 |
now material has been equalized and i have a far superior position, note that his king is still in the middle of the board and his queen, bishop, and both knights are stuck | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... Rg8 |
tries to drive out the bishop, puts his rook on a file with my king | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Qd4 |
i decide to try to keep the pressure on his struggling king | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... a6 |
bit of a waste of time, preparing b5 to drive away my bishop, which needs to move anyway | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. Bd3 |
i preempt his move and attack the pawn on h7 which would also win a bishop-rook exchange | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... c5 |
he tries to drive out my queen and give his pieces some room | ||||
