Franco-Hiva Gambit

The Franco-HIva gambit (1.e4 e6 2.d4 f5!) gives up a couple of pawns for quick development by black.  I'm including a game I just played.  It is a declined line but turns into an accepted line quickly and below it I will include a couple of Clyde Nakamura's (the creator) games.  Which are accepted.

No problem at all.  I absolutly love this gambit.  I score fairly well with it against higher rated players.

I don't like exd7+ for White. I think I'd let him take back. It costs Black time and blocks the e-file.

This has actually happened to me a few times in some blitz games but it usually helps Black out.  Black can castle automatically and then take with the d pawn as it is protected by the Bishop.  I do understand your point though, it wastes a bunch of time.  Maybe that's what really feeds this Gambit?  Greed.

 

I would show some games but as of right  now Chess.com isn't supporting the opening explorer for their Live games.  I have contacted them and they assure me that one day soon all Live matches will be included in the My Games opening explorer.
