Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-12-04  InspiredByMorphy: Great play by black fully accepting the Scotch gambit, and attacking instead of defending.
Feb-08-06  Timothy Glenn Forney: The interesting thing is that when you accept a gambit like the Goring or Danish you are immediately put in a defensive position,and have to play equally as dynamic to push for the win.
Nov-20-19  patzer2: In their 1994 Book, The Goring Gambit (Chess Digest Inc.), Ken Smith and John Hall indicate 12. Nd5 favors Black and site this game continuation as giving Black a decisive initiative after 17...Rc8 -+ (-4.50 @ 16 ply, Stockfish 9).

Instead of 12. Nd5, they recommend "12. Ng5!" and indicate "White is winning" after 12. Ng5 g6 13. Nce4 Bf5 14. Qb3 Bxe4 15. Nxe4 Nxc4 16. Qxc4 Ba5, citing the correspondence game Halsig-Huybrecht which continued 17. h5 g5 18. f3 b5 19. Qxb5 +- for a White win.

However, it appears White is not winning after "12. Ng5!", but instead is at a clear disadvantage after <12. Ng5 g6 13. Nce4 Bf5 14. Qb3> 14...Qe8! ∓ (-1.05 @ 25 ply, Stockfish 9).

Indeed, after 14...Qe8!, White loses after the greedy 14...Qe8! 15. Qxb4? allowing 15...Qc6! -+ (-1.82 @ 26 ply, Stockfish 9) with a decisive pin.

P.S.: Bottom line is the opening line from this Goring gambit accepted game appears to be very good for Black.

Nov-21-19  patzer2: Smith and Hall (The Goring Gambit, 1994) missed something important in their "White is winning" comment about the continuation 12. Ng5 g6 13. Nce4 Bf5 14. Qb3 Bxe4 15. Nxe4 Nxc4? 16. Qxc4 Ba5 -+ from Halsig vs F Huybrecht, 1980.

What they overlooked is that instead of 15...Nxc4? 16. Qxc4 +-, it is Black who actually has the advantage and is near winning after 15...Na5! ∓ to -+.

Nov-21-19  patzer2: Correction: In their 1994 Book, The Goring Gambit (Chess Digest Inc.), Ken Smith and John Hall indicate 12. Nd5 favors Black and cite <not site> this game continuation...
