| Mar 13, 2013 at 13:43 | comment | added | Lynob | @TravisJ i think your answer is better than mine and should be the accepted answer, if the king takes, white loses a knight and black dominates the center of the board with his knights, but black won't be able to castle anymore, so he should be careful... if i was white, i'll never play that gambit, it's not a good opening | |

@TravisJ i know but after Nxf7 you have to save the queen somehow, either the rook or the queeen are going to be lost

If I understood your above line correctly, white can play 6.Qe2 forcing the exchange of queens and black is just down material.

I could not follow your line, on what move do you play Qe7?
