I love to play the King's Gambit (especially in blitz games). However, this variation I came across worries me. What is white's proper response and why?
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 d6 4. d4 g5 5. h4 g4 6. Ng1 Qf6
The main problem appears to be that black can hold on to his pawn structure, and after h5 appears to have a rather solid pawn structure.
Thoughts are very welcome.
In my opinion, do Bc4 instead of h4.
**EDIT** sorry it's called the muzio gambit without the d6/d4 still, very similair
