Oct-26-03  Lawrence: Black takes Queen, White plays Bb5+.....and takes Queen.
Oct-28-05  DeepBlade: Thanks, I didnt understand why White was permitting Black to take the Queen, but after your explaination I saw, if White gives check, the King cant move, so Black is forced to interpose the Queen. I was looking for a mate, couldnt find it...

  FSR: Cool trap. I never saw that idea before.

  FSR: <Robed.Bishop> No doubt about it: 2...c6 is a very odd way to decline the King's Gambit. If you want an offbeat way to decline the KG, I'd go with 2...Nc6 3.Nf3 (3.fxe5?? Qh4+! ) f5!? Opening Explorer But Black could have transposed to normal lines that seem OK for Black with either 4...exf4 or 4...e4 5.Ne5 cxd5. Opening Explorer

  Phony Benoni: Of course, you can always use the move order seen in J Kleboe vs A Keith Aitchison, 2009: <1.e4 c6 2.f4 e5>. But I don't know if that counts as declining or accepting the gambit.
Oct-11-11  Robed.Bishop: <FSR> I agree. I play the King's Gambit online with some frequency, mostly because it often leads to an interesting game. I win quite a few, but I lose some as well.

Somehow that reminds me of the annotations to Nimzowitsch vs Systemsson, 1927 (discussing the move order 1.e4 e6 2.h4 d5 3.e5 c5 4.d4):

<Here it is quite clear that it is more profitable for White first to provoke c5 and then play d4, rather than the other way round, which is the customary course. For, if White first plays d4, there follows c5 and White's d-pawn is under attack. But my clever transposition of moves changes the situation completely. For now Black's c-pawn is suddenly attacked by White's d-pawn!>
