I have the most trouble playing against the Berlin (Nf6). Paulson and polerio are a little tough for me too

The first 2 available historical Kieseritzky gambit games Greco - NN (1620) and Lafon Le Jeune - Roussereau (1680)

features the Long Whip defense. In the first game, NN makes a mistake 7...Be7(?) while Roussereau makes a mistake 9...Qe7(?)

 

 

The correct move seems to be 9...f3. peshka.png
