Kings Gambit pawn structure

I've been following Daniel-Rench's pawn structure series, and I'd like to follow his advice by studying openings in similar pawn structures... but I don't know what the King's gambit pawn structures are named, and even if I did know, I wouldn't know how to use that information to find other openings in those structures.

I'm interested in the declined and the accepted structures. If you know the names of either the structures or other openings that lead to them, that would be appreciated.

Also, does there exist a place where such lists are compiled?

Perhaps on move 6 it would have been better to move the king to g2, charging headlong into the enemy camp? ;)

Bwahaha, that's lovely. I get a similar structure playing d4 after bishop e7, and create a barricade with the queen on d3 instead of d2. The king ends up on e3 defending all squares. I stole the plan from David pruess

This king is sometimes a bit of a coward, but it depends on the variation... I know some lines where the king ends out going pretty far forward! For instance:

King's Gambit Accepted, Bongcloud Variation.

you dont have to study pawnstructure in kings gambit at all. its just horrible pawnstructure and you win easy. that is if you survive the opening and the middlegame. you see kings gambit is 90% about things like development, initiative and taking the center.
