- (Please excuse the previous post. Parts are missing, etc.
- I will try again without indenting. If it does not work,
- I hope you can still make use of whatever mess you get).
-
- This is an interesting idea, but 4...Qd5 is almost never
- played because of the loss of time after 5 Nc3.
- Unfortunately, 5...Qf5 compounds the problem by losing
- another tempo to white's eventual Bd3. If white plays
- conservatively with 6 d4 and 7 Bd3, he gains a
- positional advantage, as in all of the following sample
- variations:
-
- (1) 6...Bd6 7 Bd3 and now (a) 7...Qe6 8 Kf2; (b) 7...Qh5
- 8 Ne4 ( or Qe2 first); (c) 7...Qg4 8 0-0 (or 8 Qe2 Ne7
- 9 Ne4 Nbc6 10 c4 Bb4 11 Kf1) with ideas like Ne4, h3
- and c4.
-
- (2) 6...Nf6 7 Bd3 (7 Bc4 is more aggressive and is
- justifiable, but Bd3 is simple for illustration) Qe6
- 8 Ne2 +/=. 8...Bd6 9 0-0 Nd5 10 Nf4!; 8...Nd5 9 0-0
- Ne3 10 Be3 Qe3 11 Kh1; 8...Nh5 9 0-0 (threatening Nf4).
-
- Whether a line is "refuted" is at bottom a
- comparative question. There are other lines that are
- clearly better against the King's Gambit, including within
- the 3...d5 and 4...Nf6 variation.
