A Short Game

Here's another game I thought everyone would enjoy. I am not sure where it came from. It starts in the Kings Gambit. Here it is.

 Very clever - the ultimate sacrife: the Queen!

6. ... Qf6 is a fail move, never get your queen out before completing your development.

Thanks Champi58.

I watched it more carefully and I think that black mistake was 7. ... Bg7. Instead of that move, black, who destroyed his king's side pawn structure, should have tried to develop his queen's side in order to castle. By playing Bg7, he got himself one move further from castling. By the way, the bishop on g7 was hidden behind the queen so it wasn't controlling any square, and it let the queen (and the queen's side) vulnerable to white harrass, which causes then a loss of time for black who was forced to withdraw his queen. All this caused a lack of time for black to put its king in safety. A winning continuation for black could have been for example: 7. ... Bc5+ 8. Kh1 Nc6 9. Bxf4 d6 10. Nc3 Be6 11. Nd5 Bxd5 12. exd5 Ne5 13. Rae1 0-0-0 And black has a big advantage.

Qf6 isn't actually a bad move, in the Muzio Gambit that's main line, I think.

Thats why i revised my comment ;)

i used to love kings gambit- but never played it this crafty...
