I learned this line from the amzaing Dennis Monokroussos.  It is so dynamic in games because the french player really cannot make a mis-step.  The correct moves are often look wrong, and the wrong moves often look logical.

You really must try it.  Dennis found the line to play against Nf6 which always gave me trouble before when playing this gambit.  Bc4!!

Unfortunatly for french players they will probably be to scared to play against this in blitz and decline all the sacs.

Good luck if you get the chance to play this exciting line.

I tried it today at chess club immortal and it worked !!  The guy just took the gambit hook line and sinker and by the time he realized the actual danger it was to late.  Really amazing game btw
