Chess: Vienna Gambit

This was a 5 minutes game of blitz on Lichess as "Anonymous".

I played White.

This is the "Vienna Gambit" opening position.

Vienna Gambit opening position

I rather fancy the King's Gambit and Bird's Opening. The f4 opening is fascinating.

But in this game, I tried another gambit, that is the Vienna.

So after 1. e4 e5, my left horse moved to 2. Nc3. Then Black's horse's 2...Nf6. Continued by the honourable 3. f4.

The magnificent f4.

The game was ended by Black left the game. I actually then waited for a minute or so — for claiming either victory or draw. I claimed victory. Mm. 🤔

Right. So.

Very speculative game.

As you can see, I intentionally put the queen in front of the king from the beginning, that 5. Qe2 — with the threat of being rammed by Black's rook. But of course, I had calculated something. — Ah. I've calculated something.

You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board.

Proper gambit, that.
