Bedoin's Gambit

The following game is a variation of the Falkbeer Counter-Gambit.

1. e4, e5
2. f4, d5
3. Nf3? ....

In Falkbeer Counter-Gambit, the normal continuation is 3. exd5 e4, 4. Bb5+ ....  In this variation, White's center becomes susceptible to attack.

3. .... dxe4
4. Nxe5, Bc5
5. Nc3, Nf6
6. Qe2? ....

A mistake.  White should have released his Bishop sooner with 6. Bc4.

6. .... Nc6
7. Nxf7, Qe7

If 7....Kxe7, then 8. Qc4+ Be6, 9. Qxc5.  White menaces the center and keeps Black from castling.

8. Nxh8, Nd4!

With this move, Black paralyzes the White Queen and paves the way for a brutal attack.

9. Qd1, Nf3+!!

10. gxf3 ....

Forced.  If 10. Ke2, then Black replies with b6, followed by 11.....Ba6.

10. .... exf3+
11. Be2 ....

Again forced.

11. .... f2+
12. Kf1, Bh3 mate.
