Position in Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN)
Moves: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3 Be7 4. Bc4

This bishop move places the bishop on a fine diagonal, helps control d5 and eyes f7. In the case of the check on h4, the king can sidestep to f1.

G3?! leads to the Bertin Gambit. While White has very significant compensation, Black is better with best play.
