OK first of all, this game had a ten minute clock on each side. My opponent could have given me a lot more trouble if he had played more accurately under the pressure. That said, he botched it pretty early on before there was much pressure.
I haven't played King's Gambit much, so this was very experimental for me. I haven't studied the line at all, either. One of my biggest weaknesses has always been positional understanding and strategy. I have been working on that the last couple of days, and already my game has improved in a huge way. Chess Mentor is really a great resource.
Here's the game. I won't comment on it right now, I have to go shower, but check back later for my own analysis :)
oh yeah, neat.
You just came up with a new variation! Kings Gambit/Accepted/Four Pawns Attack
exactly. after 5 e5, I'd say it's transposed into an Alekhine.
