Rousseau Gambit annotated - 2007/03/27 04:00 After having discovered the wonderful Jaenisch Gambit (or Schliemann defense if you prefer) I have recently started applying it on the Italian as well. I don't know any theory but apparently it's called the Rousseau Gambit. I don't know how sound it is but playing blitz on playchess it usually surprises the opponent. Nearly all games are highly tactical, both sides can fall it into a lot of traps and it's great fun. Here's a game I played:

time control: 3 min 1 sec increment
ECO: C50
I am black

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 f5 (the Rousseau Gambit, please correct me if I am wrong; usually there is a slight wait after this move indicating the opponent is a bit dumbfounded
4. exf5 Nf6 5. d3 d5 6. Bb5 Bxf5 7. Nxe5 Qe7 8. f4 Nd7!? (not very beautiful play so far and perhaps not the most correct moves but wait and see... Nd7 looks to have a lot of merit and is a key move for the continuation) 9. Qe2 Nd4 10. Bxd7+ Bxd7 11. Qd2? (white puts the queen in a very awkward position blocking his own bishop from getting out. I suggest Qf2 and I don't really know what to play..) g5! (I have not analysed the game at all but I like the move, please feel free to reject the move, i am sure there is something.. I spent 35 seconds on this move) 12. 0-0?! (perhaps c3 was better?) 0-0-0! (black's better development is starting to tell) 13. Nxd7 ?! (white trades his best piece) Qxd7 14. fxg5? (white does not see the danger in time, i think c3 still is playable) Bc5 15. Kh1 Rhf8! (a natural move but not so easy to discover in a blitz game, two pawns down I see no other move for black but what can white do now?) 16. Re1 Rde8 17. c3 (but too late!) Nc2! (Rxe1+ Qxe1 Nc2 is only prolonging white's suffering) 18. Rxe8+ Qxe8 19. h3 Qe5 (it's all over now) 20. Qd1 Bd6 21. Qg4+ Kb8 22. g3 Rf1+ (Qe1+ K... Rf2# but I was in bad time trouble) 23. Kg2 Qe1 24. Be3 Nxe3+ 25 . Kh2 Rh1# with 4 seconds left!

I hope you enjoyed and I hope to get some feedback, I am sure you will find lots of bad moves!

Thanks for your time!
Chris
