We had this before.the 1st move and last move are interesting.
I see a forced mate in five:
1. Rg6+ f6
2. Bxf6+ Qg7
3. Bxg7+ Kg8
4. Bc4+ Bd5
5. Bxd5#
Is there a quicker way?
I wish to congratulate Richard Rapport for playing the King’s Gambit at the 48th Biel International Chess Festival, round 2. The King’s Gambit is not a very popular opening because white immediately loses a tempo when playing 2. f4. and after 2…exf4 white has to struggle to regain/justify the loss of his pawn. Ideally, if white can castle on his king side then his rook will command the f file, aiming at whites weak f7 pawn. That can be easier said than done. I think it takes guts to play the King’s Gambit and that it only speaks well of Mr. Rapport’s character. Here’s the game if anyone is interested.
