Three Pawn Gambit aka Bertin
Sort:
This is a game where I played the Bertin Gambit against an opponent who was obviously unfamiliar with this wild gambit. As shown in another posted forum, the 7th move for Black can make or break him. One thing I keep in mind - the object of the game.
That is brilliant.
If you'd played 14.Qd2+ you could have mated with a pawn, which is always nice

That is true, but the point is that Black was cooked after his 7th move. Black's king is in check from move 8 and forward, all because he didn't 'give back' a pawn.
Good use of the gambit. I have never studied it, so I have never tried it, but you're right, f7 is ripe! :-)
Also after 12...Kxc4, White has 13. Qd3+ Kb4 14. Bd2+ Ka4 15. b3 mate.
That is pretty sweet gamiting to say so myself.
Actually, Black's 7th move was not bad at all. His mistakes were on the 9th, 10th, and 11th move. Instead of 9... Ke7, Black appears to survive with 9... Ke8. 10... Kd6 was bad (10... Ke8 and this time Black has better chances of surviving) but still, I don't think it was losing. I'm guessing most likely is the game will end with Black's king getting constantly checked because White will be unable to mate and take the draw instead. 11... Kc5 is just awful though, asking for trouble. No way back after that.
