milner barry gambit

i think,8 o-o is the mistake,better was bc2

ok I see what your saying this might help

So what are you playing against a6 or Qb6 when black takes the d4 pawn?

check can you post a diagram of what your talking about and tyrese thats the whole point in the gambit is to play the Bishop to d3 and gambit your two central pawns for a huge intiative and attack on black

I only played that kind of game once chess and I lost. I didn't know what to do but the most reasonable would be to defend the e5 pawn with Re1 then,

i would play

tyese-son       in that variation after   black plays ......Qd6

    white has   Nb5!..Qb8   Qf3 (threatening Bf4 winning and Qxd5) ...Bd6

   Nxd6+..Qxd6    Bf4...Qb6    Qg3(or qxd5) with a great atack

check I think white played that wrong, he let black get the intative

how would you play after bb4?

Probably Be3

Qxe5 is the best move. Is Black is prepared Qxe5 should really lead to a -+ position.

I once specifically played the French against a strong opponent who I knew played the Milner-Barry (only time in my life I ever played the French) and prepared Qxe5 and won in 25 moves.

Marvellosity can you post a diagram of what your talking about please

12... Qh4 is the theoretical move and better fr black  12... Qxe5 allows some troubles after  13 Bc5 !?

check Bc5 and I think white wins a piece, Reb can you post a diagram of what your talking about
