Jan-30-04		catfriend: Is there any sense in declining this gambit?

Jan-30-04		ossolinskm: i am not sure. like the evan's gambit i think that if you accept the gambit black allows white full attack of both black bishop and white bishop with 3. b4 cxb4 4. Bb2 Nf6 and the latter Bc4. Basically it is a similiar to the evan's gambit i think, where both bishops attack on the kingside with little development from black

Jan-30-04		catfriend: But declining it creates many troubles as well, and the b2 still is possible!

Mar-31-04		Hidden Skillz: i have seen a koltanowski game he played b2-b4 also..

Sep-04-09		whiteshark: Stormy weather around Sicily.
