I dont know what all the code is but the game shows up right...
reason X why not to move your queen early

Was this a live game, what were the time controls? I think you could have posted a better game to show off your skills. This guy does get 'destroyed' as you post it, but he destroyed himself.

This isn't an example of why not to move the Queen early... It's an example of your opponent being influenced by commonest blunder-causer known: -- he's thinking so hard about what his pieces can do to you, he's stopped thinking about what yours can do to him. That usually ends, as it does here -- Boom!
Man I just hope none of my games end up on a forum like this. To mrgreenfather: I'm not so sure I would have caught the trap either. Guess we both need practice.

Here's something to think about... After putting your rook behind that bishop, a decent player would ask himself "why did he do that" (no offense to the opponent, but it's a true statement) and instantly see the possibility for discovery... which is a great weapon, but he could have saved his queen.
Next time, and play the bishop check first and I think your chances are better... after he blocks the bishop, you can proceed to pin the queen to the king with your rook and win it. (basically just switching the order of those two moves) PIN TO WIN.

While under most other circumstances I would agree with your analysis, in this position, I would actually argue that 7: Re1! is significantly stronger than the immediate 7: Bb5. The reason i think this is because the resulting position is actually a trap within a trap. The surface threat is Bb5+ pinning the queen (this continuation was the one actually played) but if black sees through that threat and moves the queen away from the line of fire (as you warn about), white continues 8: Bb5 (double ch) followed by mate. (...Kf8 9: Re8# or ...Kd8 9: Re8#. (This same threat would be present after 7: Kf8 or 7: kd8, as, after Bb5, once again, white would threaten mate in one and black must give up the queen). In essence, black cannot escape the loss of queen but the game continuation creates a second, even more dangerous threat underneath the first one with no significant drawback to compensate for this delay.

Gambitknight... If I was black I would not move my queen but my king instead... this takes away the possibility for discovery I believe.

I understand what you're saying, but the trap still works. After Re1 white has four possible King moves but none of these work. First I will address the possibilities of Kd8 and Kf8, which move out of the queen pin but still fall into the mating threat. Either way, white can respond Bb5, revealing a discovered attack on the queen. Afterward, if white moves the queen out of the line of fire, black responds Re8#. The only other open king moves are Ke7 or Kd7, which avoid the checkmating threat but they still lose the queen. In essence, moving the king cannot save the position.
This hopefully presents a clearer image of what I'm talking about (then again it might make it more complicated).
Open the move list and you will see that every possible continuation by black will at least lose the queen, if not the king. No matter how black continues, after Re1 the game remains lost. (That being said, your move also wins, don't get me wrong, it just doesn't give white chances at an immediate decision).
I know the Kings Gambit isn't played in high level play but I love it. I am not playing the pros so it really messes with people. Here is the opening of a game I just played where my opponent thought he was being clever and ended up getting destroyed. He resigned shortly after.
