King's Bishop Gambit Accepted

[edit | edit source]

3.Bc4

[edit | edit source]

With this move, White develops the bishop and opens the square f1 for the king if Black elects to prevent White from castling with 3...Qh4+. However, this places the queen on a non-ideal square, with White later being able to play Nf3 and chase it away. Alternatively, Black can develop a piece with 3...Nf6 or play aggressively in the center and give up a pawn with 3...d5 for open lines.
