Hey guys, need some help. I got a big OTB game on Thursday, round 5 on board 1, 8 round tournament with some prize money so it's important. This other guy and me are tied for 1st with 4 each and we are playing each other, with him having White I suspect. He played the King's gambit against me last year and I've seen him play it against other people. However, yesterday he tried the vienna gambit and crushed his opponent in a minature. I was on the board besides them and it was awful. I suspect he will play the vienna gambit vs me.
1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.f4 d5
This is what i'm thinking of playing as black against the Vienna. I never played this line so I need some help with it. I will search for games on chessgames.com etc but are there any sites with annotated games on this for free, or opening ideas etc... or if anyone had the bookup e-books on this and can help me out?
Also If he play the Kings gambit then I will play
1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 d5
I had pretty good results with this and don't play the g5 stuff.
An help with this line would be great also.

If he play's the King's Gambit I suggest
1. e4 e5
2. f4 d5
3. exd5 exf4
It's the line suggest by Schiller and Watson in "How to beat annoying chess openings." It's free of tactical pitfalls, so I like it. It's a variation of the falkbeer, except exf4 in stead of e4!?
If I was white and black played 3...g5 I would probably respond with 4.Bc4, then after 4...g4 5. O-O

Originally posted by xpoinsanninWhat are you getting at? Did you not read what I wrote? He say that he busted the kings gambit, and i will go over his analysis later on.
If you hate the King's Gambit, then type in "Bobby Fischer" and "King's Gambit" in the same Google searchbar. It will greatly encourage you.

Perhaps if he is into playing very tactical openings there is something to be said for playing the French or Caro-Kann.
I know it pisses me off, which is why I play them =)
You will not see me play the caro-khan!
I don't like them and i'm looking for a win here. I have never played either of those system and don't want to learn them in 4 days, plus I don't like them 🙂
