Ancient Dance - The Kahiko Hula Gambit

Ancient Dance - The Kahiko-Hula Gambi

In 1998 I had discovered another gambit similar to the Keoni-Hiva Gambit (1.e3 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.f4 exf4 4.Nf3). The moves of my discovery are:

1.c4 e5 2.e3 Nf6 3.f4 exf4 4.Nf3

This is the main accepted line. (Please note that there are other accepted lines which we will examine in this article.) I had named this gambit the Kahiko-Hula Gambit. In Hawaiian, Kahiko means ancient and Hula means dance. Hula is an ancient Hawaiian dance form that dates back many hundreds of years to the very first settlers of the Hawaiian islands from the Marquesas, Bora
Bora and Tahiti. Each hand, arm and body movement tells a story. Legend says that the goddess Hi'iaka was the first to dance the Hula to appease her sister the volcano goddess Pele. In ancient times the Hula was performed at religious ceremonies. Today the Hula is mainly a form of entertainment. White intends to sacrifice the pawns at f4, e3 and d2 for quick piece development and freedom of movement for the minor pieces. In the accepted lines White has the half open d-file,half open f-file and the open e-file. A recurring theme in this gambit is that the posting of the white knight to d5 causes Black some problems.

Ah, crap... We have volcanoes as well here in Santorini, but not marijuana. I will seriously consider migrating.

I have also heard that Reiner Schlenker is scheduling for the next issue of Randspringer a thorough analysis of the Ganja Defence ( 1.e4 Ke9 ) - is that correct?

I do not know if that is true. I have not been in contact with Reiner Schlenker
for many years now. What are the exact moves for the Ganja Defence?

Marijuana is not legal here in Hawaii and also the rest of the US. However
it can be used for medicinal purposes. It might be legal in the Netherlands.

Are you sure you are not smoking something?  The moves are not legal.
