Legall's Mate from the King's Gambit

Submitted by jk00750 on Sun, 01/04/2009 at 12:20pm.

There are multiple variations of Legall's Mate, and sometimes forcing defeat cannot be so simple. Here is an example of Legall's Mate appearing in the King's Gambit. However, black has a response that is challenging to meet....

Black declined the offering of the queen with aggressive intentions, but could not dodge the inevitable loss.
