Opening: https://www.chess.com/openings/Kings-Gambit-Declined-Falkbeer-Accepted-Nimzowitsch-Marshall-Countergambit-4.dxc6


Opening:

2.f4 Kings Gambit

3. .. c6 Instead of being the person sacing material, I am sacing material

5. .. exf4 An alternative is e4, kicking the knight.

6. .. Bc5 This is a mistake because of c3 d4, but it serves to keep the white king in the center, and two tempi ought to be enough to attack the king.

7.d4? A definite mistake, the pawn entirely free, but it might allow 1.c3 and trading queens.

9. .. Qb6 With the white king in the center it will take two tempi to move the bishop around and protect the g1 square for the king.

Middle:

12. Rd1?? The knight is lost even though Qb5+ would have evened the game, even giving white a decisive advantage on the b7 pawn.

13. .. Qd4?? If white had seen Ba5 I would lose a queen for a rook.

18. .. Bxe6 No more blunders, and ditching a pawn for a queen trade I am completely winning.


Endgame:

22. .. Ke8 White is slightly ahead on active material being my rook is in the corner

24. .. Kf7 I could take the pawn but king safety is much better.

25. .. Rd8 Potential for hte kknight to come to f5 threatening a fork two ways.

27.Bh2?? Bf4 would have been much better as it protects the e3 square from the knight, with no chances left @NoGlory resigned.

Summing Up:

The Kings Gambit player was probably shocked, and I won in the battle of blunders. The most decisive move plausably 7.d4, that gave me even material and a strong initiative
