I don't see any compensation and no one seemed able to find anything. Next?
i think i'll trust you on this one
a gambit in the Slav Defense
Sort:
This is just bad, the pawn just to develop the queen to a5, the queen doesn't do anything there, unlike the Scandinavian, you're not castle queen side and your d pawn block your queen in the 5th rank then you will lose a tempo to bring your queen back. The semi open b file doesn't do anything either. It's basically a pawn for nothing, not even a tempo

You don't understand the point. You are not trying to play a Scandinavian you are trying to get open lines for your pieces, and you are going to play the position like a Benko Gambit putting all of your major pieces on the queenside

Less tired now. Qa4+ is perfectly alright and wins on the spot because the queens are off and black can't penetrate. After Nc6, which is probably black's best move, white just plays Nc3 for the third time and everything holds. a3 is ok too but much less active so Nc3 is to be preferred.
So the gambit loses on the spot, unfortunately.
that is exactly what I wrote #14 for!!
