King's Gambit A Challenge From Ponz

Will have more comments when this last game is finished.

This Challenge to the King's Gambit is now over.  I played Black in all games and chess engines were allowed and encouraged.  Thus is was "Centaur Chess"

Final score  Ponz111 won 4 games    drew  3 games with no losses.

Here is the last game, just finished:

RRM888  vs ponz111

Cannot give the moves now but will do so later.

Here are results per variation

1. e4  e5  2. f4  exf4  3. Nf3  d5  game eventually drawn LuftWaffles White

1. e4  e5  2. f4  exf4  3. Bc4  Nc6 4. d4  Nf6   This game Black had a very slight advantage for a long time.  Finally Black got a good advantage and White lost on time.  There was plenty of play left at the end.

Here is the line most often played:

1. 1. e4  e5  2. f4  exf4  3. Nf3  g4  4. h4   g4  5. Ne5  Qe7!  in this line Black scored 3 wins and 1 draw.  Chess King Dreamer did draw against this line.

This line was played in the last game which I will give later when my internet working better.

Good job Ponzi!

TY Hopefully this will contribute to the theory of how to play against the King's Gambit.

Congratulations!

Here is the last and 7th game of this King's Gambit Challenge

RM888 vs ponz111

Great job. 

To answer your questions:

I played the strongest chess players I could find up to over-the-board master.

This exhibition was based on both sides using chess engines. A player with a chess engine is stronger than chess engines alone.

In this exhibition we found some very good lines for Black. Lines that can be used over-the-board.

For any opening [including the Kings Gambit in this case], it is not so good to play White knowing there are lines where you get a disadvantage from the opening. [it does not matter if you think the lines stink or not]

The lines are quite easy to play for Black and White has to fight to try and draw.

Engine use during games: Not even once.

I would love to see an analysis of 1. e4  e5 2. f4  exf4 3. Nf3  Nf6! by pfren or anybody else as I think it gives Black some advantage.   

What is your point?

3..Nf6 is what I hate seeing the most as white. It's really annoying because I feel like I'm down a pawn but am not getting the usual central pressure.

Even as a King's gambiter as white I know its not the best or most solit. yet not many people actually know how to handle it (on either side if we're completely honest) and hell its fun to toss caution to the wind and say "I'm going to attack all game, I dare you to stop it". all I want is to have fun. and I accomplish that
