You're scaring me Ewoud...
I would also play with black, but I would prove, why 3.Nf3. isnt serious...from practical point of view.

What can I say? Proleet beat me fair and square. It is all about tactics. In games 1 & 2 I played slowly, but I could not manage tactics when I was short on time. In games 3 & 4 I decided to play faster so as to save time for tactics to come, but that was an even worse plan. I do not consider that this mini match in any way settled the alleged superiority of 3 Nf3 over 3 Bc4 as proleet claims. I certainly would not play any match with reversed openings as I still believe in Fischer's opinion 3 Bc4 > 3 Nf3. Contrary to proleet I do not consider myself an expert on the King's Gambit: the last time I played this as white (in a team championship) and as black (in a simul against GM Janosevic) was around 1975. Happy new year to all.
@Proleet I'd play you.. but would you play me ??
I am a noob.. so you might crush me
Not my actual ratings cuz I play online for fun
Fischer was strongly biased. He thought that he refuted the Nf3 line and it would "lose by force".

I still think Nf3 is the best line.
