king's gambit declined line

according to "the ideas behind the chess openings" by reuben fine, the following line is good for white in that in begins a strong attack with a rook sacrifice. i was just wondering what others thought about this line. is it really that strong for white?

thanks for the comments conzipe. i thought maybe 13...Be7 could hold, but i guess not if white piles on the pressure with both Bg5 and Rf1.

Trigs,

I am not expert on the line, shoot at my level I am not an expert on any opening line, but two things to consider.  First, I am not so sure about h3 as the recommended move following Bg4.  I know it has a fairly good results in the game explorer.  But I play the line recommended by Lane in his book on the vienna (where this position comes up all the time):  Na5.  Most opponents will respond by taking Nf3 followed by the same Nd4 move.  Second, with or without h3, I do not like the Qg3 move at all.  I read a lot of analysis on that position in the Facinating King's Gambit (Johansson) and black looks great if they just castle.  Then white is in a pickle, as best I (or Johansson) can tell.  I am not sure your average club player could resist the fork, but I think the average tournament player would. 

Instead of Qg3, I would retreat the queen to d1.  This, in turn, creates a really interesting sac potential for white if black responds with the tempting b5.  White can play Bxf7 with some really sharp play.  (See below)

thanks for the comments. i'm curious as to what you think about 9. Qg3 O-O 10. fxe5 attacking the Knight and setting up a possible Bh6. This would possible sac White's Rook though.

What is white's move after 9. Qd7?

Trigs, I am not sure Bh6 is strong enough to justify the sac of the rook.  Not playing through all the variations, but the position is looking ok for black.  One option for black would be to just go ahead and exchange 2 knights for the rook and pawn and this would leave black with a seemingly solid position, while white's position looks disorganized, king stuck in the middle, and three pawn islands to worry about in the endgame.  There may be something stronger according to the computer.  Not winning for black by any stretch in my humble opinion, but sure seems comfortable for black, with white having more weaknesses to worry about that black can try to fix and attack.

This is the line I was thinking.  I think the idea applies equally whether white playes h3 or Na5. 

thanks for all the comments guys :)
