King's Gambit 4... pd5

Sort:
Brainalack

Is this a common opening? It seems like it might be a bad idea but could go either way.

This is how it went for me.

I think white missed a chance to get his bishop into the game on move 5.  Is 4... pd5 workable?

It's not common, but it's certainly playable.

I checked this a little and in the ending position black has a big advantage. White should have played 6.Nh3 which leads to interesting positions for example after 6...Be7 7.exd5 Bxh3 8.Rxh3 Bxh4+ 9.Ke2.

I am surprised u play 6.Nf3.

Why going back?

Try to continue the attack, don't lose tempo.

So 2 ways to do it : either Qh5 (pining h6), or more usual in king's gambit: Nxf7.

For example this game (many innacuracies but who can play perfectly in these insane positions) :

5.exd5 is another option but Ng5 seems more straightforward...

I'm sorry for the confusion. I'm black.

Thanks for the game poucin,  I knew pulling the knight back to f3 was a mistake for white and was thinking on how he should have played.  My chess engine sugested Nh3.
