Jun-22-05		nasmichael: Gossip "decided" castling would not be prudent in this case, and responded accordingly. The gambit showed a desire to "wrestle" (gambetto--Italian for 'wrestle' or wrestling position) from the start of the game. Neumann-Anderssen, Berlin, 1866, has a similar beginning, and I invite you to check it out.
