Does this really work? I don't understand.
Locock Gambit
Sort:
Maybe it worked during the days of Morphy.
After Black accepts the gambit with 5. ... Kxf7 White can play a very nice 6. dxe5 threatening to win the Knight back with interest because Black's Queen is left hanging.
I'm not sure what the book move is, but 6. ... Qe7 looks okay off the top of my head. This pretty much forces White to trade Queens, and material is even. Black's King is left in the center, but White doesn't look like he has enough punch to generate a decent attack. The resulting position looks drawish, even at the club level.
