Dec-17-06		plang: 4 b3 is an interesting idea; one that probably wouldn't have been considered prior to 1930 when the Kings Gambit used to be played more often. Fedorov is critical of 8 Qe2; saying that * Bc4 is preferable. Still, Fedorov gets a promising attack for his exchange sacrifice. He recommends 18 Ne3 as leading to a large advantage for white. The game continuation leads to interesting complications which peter out to a draw.
