You're upset that you've thrice been given an advantage in the opening, despite your best efforts? 😉
the f pawn and replied 2...Nc6, I blame Jeremy Silman!

The thing I've never liked about old C38 is that black can almost always give that pawn back in more favorable circumstances, and white will always have a weak KS.

Black castles QS and those two pawns on f4 and g4 also make quite nice weapons!

Q
melee, but Spasskys play was simply positionally sublime, anyhow Great Q your words
are too kind, after out last game which you won so easily i had almost thrown in the
towel with chess, yet your words of encouragement were like water in a desert region,
perhaps something might grow in time, who can say? kind regards Robbie.
Hi,
I too love the King's Gambit.
As a consequence, I once as the great privilege of having a one on one conversation/ analysis session with David Bronstein on the Kings Gambit. He told me about his book on the opening, as yet unavailable in the west. He also showed me some beautiful lines. Could post some, if someone tells me how to post diagrams and comments in this forum.
For your enjoyment I include my most recent game on RHP, played to a decent standard I think. I think white does well to draw, as am convinced black is a little better after 4.Bc4, admittedly with plenty of opportunity to go wrong! 🙂

hi queenabber, its really easy, you just use the little pgn link, insert board from pgn,
putting annotations in is a little more tricky, you need to put them between two
brackets, these ones { }
