The Evergreen King's Gambit

Finally I managed to win my first win at ICCF. Guess what would have been my opening ? My favorite King's Bishop's Gambit which I consider the best variation that gives a chance to win as white. King's Knight's Gambit loses all the advantage as white as the theory is heavily analysed. This game shows why Kings Bishops Gambit can be lethal...

Prakash, Om - Hughes, Gregory (1733)
