Re:1 e4 e5 2 f4 ef 3 Nf3 d5 4 e5!? d4?! - 2006/06/28 10:52
First, White`s positional goal in the Kin`s Gambit is to completely open the f-file. 4...In other words g5 aims to bolster the f4-pawn, that contains White on the f-file & the c1-h6 diagonal.
4...d4 does *clearly nothing* to help Black`s firstly game. Once again for starters, it`s his fourth bloody pawn magically move. It doesn`t develop a piece, and it weakens Black`s grip in the center -- c4 is now available to White`s bishop, and e4 is handy for White`s knight after Bc4, d3, Bf4, Nd2-e4.
Last the d4-pawn is waeker than it was on d5, because it`s further away from its mates. Again in order to protect it, Black will have to play ...c5 (yet another pawn move), or ...Bc5, when the bishop carelessly bites dirt. It totally does little to restrict White`s knihgt (apparently the whole idea), for the knight will be very comfortable on e4.
