A83 Dutch Defence: Staunton Gambit with 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 (1.d4 f5 2.e4 fxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 d5 5.Bxf6 exf6 6.Qh5+ g6 7.Qxd5)

This is quite a long game and if possible I try to post shorter games in the future in order to do these posts a bit faster. It is safe to say that analyzing this game took much longer than it did to play it... In any case, I hope you enjoy all the mistakes in the game and maybe learn from my mistakes as well. Going through my database of games in Eco order lately so next game is probably A88 Leningrad Dutch. Going through the games this way helps me get through all the possible opening variations easier. If you like these posts, feel free to tell your friends about it and other chess enthusiasts. Also if you want to see a game in particular opening that I haven't covered yet, please leave a comment and I'll see if I can find a game in that opening and I'll analyse and post it here.
