In the King's Gambit thematic game, we initiated the Mason-Keres Gambit. Black's 5th move was Bd6 instead of the more often played Bg4+. This move isn't unknown and can possibly transpose into the main line. I decided to post a few games from both lines here so we might have a better idea what to expect.
