01 From Gambit - 5 Bc4 Nf6

01 - updated 17 February 2024

I am a big believer in not accepting the From Gambit completely, since Black gains the initiative. I have played the Bird Opening slightly over 50 years, and I think declining the gambit with 3 Nf3 gives White fun King's Gambit-like pressure. At 67 years old, I am happy to share my personal analysis/repertoire.
