Then 8. Nc3, increasing pressure on the pin and developing a piece with the tempo.
If you like these positions, hyreforgling, you should look at some of Paul Morphy's games. He uses this a few times, with some exciting results. Nice game, by the by.

I think Ke6 is the proper move here, is it not?

The main line is 7. ...K-K3 (e6) 8. Kt-QB3 (c3) and then Kt-QKt5 (b4), threatening a fork and protecting. Now white will have an unclear position, down in material but with black having an exposed king.
The Gambit King
I have a few responses to the 8...Nb4 defense.
One being taking the Knight immediately with 9.Nxd5, presumably followed by 9...Nxd5, after which I would play 10. d4 or 10. 0-0.
The second is 9. 0-0, mostly because I feel unthreatened by the overworked Black Knight. after which, I can shoo it away with 10. a3 if it doesn't commit to the Rook. If Black plays 9...c6, I still feel better and will probably play 10. d4 to shred the center.
The last is an immediate 9. d4, not wasting the opportunity to open files to the King. Though, I didn't give this one as much attention.
What do you think, GambitKing?
Here is a chess game I have played recently.
