Goring Gambit Tournament

7. dxc4 Nd7c5
One of the downsides of White's plan seems to be that the knights become entangled on the Queenside.
8. b6 Nc5a4
And this is the reason for the stockfish evaluation. White has Nd5 here, mixing it up.

  Agreed, Nd5 looks better; 20/20 hindsight.

  PS, Ragwort and I are pursuing this line in a separate set-up game.

  PS The Nd5 game was drawn.
9. Bc8e6
Supporting the c4 pawn and intending Q side castling
9... Bc1g5
Which white stops.
10. f6
I considered Nge7 here followed by castling but thought it would be better to break the potential pin to d8 now. I preferred to castle long as the rook would be active on d8 immediately and the the King would be able to defend against Nb5 should white decide to play it.
10... Bg5e3
I was half expecting Bf4 which may have been more active.

  I considered Bf4, but was concerned to keep Black's N off of d4.
11. O-O-O Ra1d1 12. Ng8e7
Keeping tempo as the rook can now recapture should white exchange.
12... Ke1e2
Following endgame advice by keeping the king in the centre rather than castling.
13. Nc6e5
With the idea of going to d3 if the opportunity presented itself and freeing the c pawn to start pushing on the Queenside with the extra pawns. The computer prefers Nb4.
13... f3
If f4 then Bg4+ is a skewer. This keeps the knight and bishop out of g4.
