Fischer said only 3 Bc4 is correct and 3 Nf3 loses for white.

@tpr 3Nf3 is best in my opinion

Also Ivanchuk and Polgar and Short preferred 3 Bc4

wow, more than 5 posts here, didn't expect that lol

Stockfish prefers 3Nf3 :)

@tpr @Proleet

First of all Kings gambit dosent promise an advantage. Second of all, on 3.Nf3., why cant black play a 3...d5. variation? It is more practical. And third, on 3.Bc4. move, I think the best try is 3...Ne7. I know @tpr will show, how white have won, but my point is, that IMHO on 3.Bc4. 3....Ne7. is the best try. Computer might say otherwise, but who will want to learn 30 moves of unforced variations anyway?

With best play it ofcourse doesnt give an advantage, but it does give you alot of chances. Yes you can play the Albin counter gambit with d5 but that actually gives white a slight edge according to leela. Just accepting the gambit gives black the best chances. I dare everyone of you to play me in the KG, show me your skill!

Sure, I would love to play chess with you. Who wouldnt :)?
