1. e4 e5 2. f4

Take the pawn. 2. …exf4

Then 3.Nf3 d6 !

Bobby Fischer thought that move refuted the King’s Gambit,
and that may be an exaggeration, but I can find nothing good for White here.

4. d4 g5 or 4.Bc4 Bg4.

Fischer’s analysis was debunked long ago, and this line leads to the kinds of positions King’s Gambiteers love to play. I think the capture is better delayed: 1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5! 3.exd5 exf4! That leads to lines of the Modern Variation which are known to be good for Black, and White can’t use any of the alternatives at move 3 that are available after 2…exf4.

I still question anyone who has debunked anything Fischer said.

Here is a chess video from J Robi of Fischer playing this opening.
