 I was recently reading a chess magazine, and there was a short mention of the Colorado-Counter Gambit, which arises after 

   I think that the line

 Is equally interesting.  Does black get enough compensation for the pawn, and if so, what are the best ways of declining the gambit?

You don't play the Colorado gambit after 2.d4. It's only after 2.Nf3.

I don't know why this was in a magazine... I think players are weak as ~2000 (maybe lower) could nearly refute this on first sight.  And in any case I can't imagine it giving white any problems.

The Article was not about the Colorado Gambit- It was a review of various chess sites in Chess Life.
