Tonight I had white against a stronger player at my local chess club.  I've been itching to learn the King's Gambit, but haven't really put the study time in (i.e. I have no business playing it).  When my opponent played 1 ...e5, I felt obligated to take the plunge.  The following game contains many mistakes by both sides, but I think it's quite exciting none the less.
