    Attached is a recent game that I played with my new gambit called the Perseus
    Gambit 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3,Nf3. However this game transposed into the Korchnoi
    Gambit which is really deadly for Black. GM's have recently been playing the
    Korchnoi Gambit in tournament games against the French Defense.

    I'll have to try this. In databases i couldnt find what happens on 3...dxe4 is there a trap? Because you can see that white will get back the pawn soon, however it looses tempo to move the knight

    In one line Black has a very awkward game. This is if Black guards the e4 pawn by playing f5. See analysis line. This line is equal

    for White according to chess engine Houdini 1.5a.

    Thanks for posting - I've been looking for a line to use against French players (who I find to be among the most difficult opponents!). I'm going to try this in my next game as white in a French TournamentCool

    Actually this is a new gambit that I am still exploring and testing. I had tried
    the Ulysses Gambit in a tournament game a long time ago. The move to
    that gambit was 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nf3 sacrificing the e pawn. Then after
    3...dxe4 White has either 4.Ne5 or 4.Ng5. I won a tournament game for
    the championship of the Hawaii State Class Championship Expert/Master
    Section. This was against fellow expert Patrick Perry. He went on to become
    Hawaii State Champion in the years 1988 and 1989 and become a national
    US Master. This opening is like a Budapest Defense. So the Perseus was
    the next logical conclusion. To play this line in a Frence Defense setting.
