1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Be7 5.e5 Nfd7 6.h4 Bxg5 7.hxg5 Qxg5 French, Albin-Alekhine-Chatard Attack 8.Nh3 Qe7 After watching the Daniel King DVD earlier that day I was fortunate to play this game as black and with the GM’s message in mind ("black has nothing to fear from this gambit and should accept the pawn”). 9.Nf4 Nb6!? Having said that, black does have to be careful and watch out for sacrifices on d5 and g6. I think this game illustrates how to accept a gambit and then turn the extra material into a win. 10.Qg4 g6 11.Bd3 h5 12.Qh3 Nc6 13.Qe3 Worth a try was 13.Bxg6 fxg6? 13...Nxd4 14.0-0-0 fxg6 15.Rxd4 Qg5 16.Qh4 Qxh4 17.Rxh4 Kf7 14.Nxg6 Qh7 15.Nxh8 Qxh8 16.0-0-0 13...Nb4 14.0-0-0 Nxd3+ 15.cxd3 Bd7 16.g4 h4 17.Nh3 0-0-0 18.g5 Na4 19.Nxa4 Bxa4 20.Rd2 Kb8 21.f4?
