Long Live The King's Gambit!!

If there is any beautiful opening system then that must be Kings Gambit. Here is one game I played recently at LSS. The positions coming out upto move 11 is out of the understanding of all top engines. May be my opponent relied on hardware and I on brainware so escaped with a win in equal position. Its one of the Hardest Game I have ever played.

Prakash, Om (1776) - Korchut, Adam (1766)

Result: 1-0

Now or then I am addicted to Kings Gambit. So I do test few lines. Now or then I am addicted to Kings Gambit. So I do test few lines. This is one of the hardest to check by an engine as they have no Idea Whats happening.
