This is a game where I played the Bertin Gambit against an opponent who was obviously unfamiliar with this wild gambit. As shown in another posted forum, the 7th move for Black can make or break him. One thing I keep in mind - the object of the game.

That is brilliant.

If you'd played 14.Qd2+ you could have mated with a pawn, which is always nice

That is true, but the point is that Black was cooked after his 7th move. Black's king is in check from move 8 and forward, all because he didn't 'give back' a pawn.

Good use of the gambit.  I have never studied it, so I have never tried it, but you're right, f7 is ripe! :-)

10... Ke6 11 Qg4+ Kd6 12 Qxg3 still looks pretty grim for him.

 

He should've played 11... Ke6 (12 Qh5 Nf6). 

Also after 12...Kxc4, White has 13. Qd3+  Kb4 14. Bd2+  Ka4 15. b3 mate.

That is pretty sweet gamiting to say so myself.
