1. d4 d5 2. c4 e5 {The Albin Counter Gambit - if Black wants a complicated
unbalanced tactical game then this is a good choice of opening. I played it
myself in several tournaments 6 or 7 years ago with reasonable results.
However playing Gambits especially with Black is always double edged. If Black
does not play with accuracy and energy he can soon just be a pawn down with no
compensation.} 3. dxe5 d4 4. Nf3 Nc6 5. a3 {This is the modern approach. 10
years ago the main line would have been 5. g3 but Black has done well against
this in recent years.} Nge7 {This is the main line nowadays thanks to the
games of super GM Morozevich circa 2004. Black has other possibilities 5.. Be6,
or Bf5 or Bg4 are all worthy of consideration and lead to complex play which
require good 'book' knowledge. 5..a5 and 5..f6 have also been played but are
considered dubious. Indeed f6 is not a good idea for Black in this opening as
White inevitably end up with a pawn + and a good position. I strongly
recommend 'Grandmaster Repertoire 1. d4 Volume 1' by Boris Avrukh for the
white side of the picture.} 6. b4 {Note White is not necessarily playing to
retain the extra pawn. He is quite happy to return it if a clear positional
advantage can be obtained.} Ng6 7. Bb2 {last book move} Be6 (7... Ngxe5 {is

1. d4 d5 2. c4 e5 {The Albin Counter Gambit - if Black wants a complicated
unbalanced tactical game then this is a good choice of opening. I played it
myself in several tournaments 6 or 7 years ago with reasonable results.
However playing Gambits especially with Black is always double edged. If Black
does not play with accuracy and energy he can soon just be a pawn down with no
compensation.} 3. dxe5 d4 4. Nf3 Nc6 5. a3 {This is the modern approach. 10
years ago the main line would have been 5. g3 but Black has done well against
this in recent years.} Nge7 {This is the main line nowadays thanks to the
games of super GM Morozevich circa 2004. Black has other possibilities 5.. Be6,
or Bf5 or Bg4 are all worthy of consideration and lead to complex play which
require good 'book' knowledge. 5..a5 and 5..f6 have also been played but are
considered dubious. Indeed f6 is not a good idea for Black in this opening as
White inevitably end up with a pawn + and a good position. I strongly
recommend 'Grandmaster Repertoire 1. d4 Volume 1' by Boris Avrukh for the
white side of the picture.} 6. b4 {Note White is not necessarily playing to
retain the extra pawn. He is quite happy to return it if a clear positional
advantage can be obtained.} Ng6 7. Bb2 {last book move} Be6 (7... Ngxe5 {is
