| Thanks David, and Steve also for your kind comments earlier. Having had a drubbing a couple of weeks ago against Ben's King's gambit, it was encouraging to employ a different strategy and have success. If the game inspires others struggling against the opening I am very pleased! | |

| Cracking game... :-) There's a few 'King's Gambiteers' in this club and they'd better sit up and take note. Everybody who is sick of losing against the Kings Gambit better sit up and take note. er...so that's everybody sitting up and taking notes more or less! Well played Alan. | |

| Thanks Phil. That was my thinking as well about casting long. Unfortunately in my eagerness to exchange queens and consolidate my 2 pawn advantage I missed 27....Qxb4, which would have been a much stronger move. It would have opened up a lot of threats as you say, including the possibility of trapping his queen! | |

| Nicely played. Holding on to the pawn by playing g5, and than castling long, is a nice way to go in my opinion - you can then start a kingside pawn storm without worrying about exposing your king. Did you consider 27. ... Qxb4 ? If White then tries to hold on to both queen and bishop by playing 28. Qe4, 28. ... Qc5 carries lots of threats! If White plays (say) Kh1 to eliminate the threat of the discovered check, you can trap his queen by playing Rd4! | |

| My second consecutive King's Gambit game playing black and an enjoyable game. This time I decided to try and retain the pawn advantage with much better results. | |
