1.e4 e5 2.f4 Qh4+ 3.g3 Qf6 4.d4 exf4 5.Bxf4 Bb4+ 6.c3 Ba5 7.Nf3 h5 8.Bg2 Qb6 9.Qc2 Nf6 10.Nbd2 Nc6 11.O-O Ng4 12.h3 Nf6 13.Kh1 d5 14.e5 Ne4 15.Nxe4 dxe4 16.Ng5 h4 17.g4 f6 18.Nxe4 g5 19.Nxf6+ Kf7 20.Bxg5 Kg7 21.Nd5 Qb5 22.Bf6+ Kg8 23.Qg6+ 1-0
Their right Qh4+ is no good against the Kings Gambit it doesn't work out too well for Black play the Falkbeer Gambit or another line.

Here we go:
Game 2476497
Probably one of my better played games. I was threw caution to the wind and decided to march my kingside pawns...
AND...
Game 2513067
I have pride for these games for they are against the greatest opponent I have every played.
lol.
And I spent hours with a pen and paper going over the possible lines...
Needless to say, all in vein as I lost the game from move 2...Qh4+
(I couldn't get the pgn viewer to work)

I expected Qh4+ to be particularly bad for black but when we left the book black didn't stand too badly and it was only a blunder that lost the Q vs R ending. Recently I have only drawn just such an ending (Game 4839399 although not a KG)

It's a cute trap, but surely it can't survive more than a couple moves... what happens if black's smart enough to go straight for mate rather than grabbing the e pawn? for example, 5. ... e5 0-1.
