King's Bishop Gambit???
Sort:
interesting...
It's been played in Hoogeboom-Benning, Netherlands 1996 and Vlassov-Pimenta, France 1996. Probably in other games as well.
Good combination in the end. But, I must say that Black played some really bad moves along the way...
Well, I know, but I think the idea is pretty solid. And bill, thanks for the games, I guess I just wasn't looking hard enough.
preety nice game
22. Rh8 Nxh8 32. Rf8++ was more elegant
True, but it's mate one way or the other.
Nice game. And Bill whats it called
That's rare. But I have seen it played in a tournament twice.

Good game. But why did you call it "King's Bishop Gambit"? I didn't see any pawn sacrifice in the beginning...
that was good but black did make some bad moves in the end

It looks like a combination of the Bishop's Opening and the King's Gambit Declined.
Etienne,
Rf8 would be checkmate!?
very interesting thought ive never heard of it
ccarey99,
Sorry, but this is already the name of an opening:
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Bc4
Your game is just a line of the Bishop's opening. The moves f4, c4, f5, and c5 are played in many games in an attempt to remove a central presence, in just the way you did. It is not a gambit until you sacrifice the pawn. You just offered a pawn trade.
In the 90's, the Polgars made somewhat of a fad out of the King's Bishop's Gambit. This is still a popular line at club level.

Wouldn't the move order you listed make it a variation of the King's Gambit? And I wasn't trying to invent a new opening, I just didn't know what to call it.
Would´nt this move weaken the kings position if one castled on the kingside?
I made up the name, if you were wondering. It goes 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nc6 3. d3 Bc5 4. f4
I've looked everywhere I can and can't any game that uses this opening, which is a bit odd, since I think it's a very interesting line. I used it in a few games, with pretty good results. The key is to attack the kingside, and not stop. Here is a game in which a mouse slip cost me my queen, and the attack still went through.
Thoughts??? I have another game I can show if anyone wants.
