Answers.Text: In the most recent book, King's Gambit, from John Shaw (Quality Chess), author dismisses  the position as slightly better for Black, he doesn't like 4. Bc4 as premature (Bishop's best square is yet unknown), and instead proposes Quade style 4. d4 g5 4. g3.

Answers.Text: My advice? I think the line with 6. Ng1 at certain levels is good enough, even if not fully sound is full of a kind of "typical" king gambit games (no armonious development, both sides struggling with structural imbalances and neglecting typical development for more immediate concerns in attack/defense).

  <p>White played the King's Gambit because White wanted a sharp tactical game.</p>

  <ol>
  <li>The White player has successfully achieved a complex tactical position which suits his/her style of play. </li>
  <li>Complex tactical positions may not suit the Black player's style of play. Perhaps he/she played <strong>1...e5</strong> with the intention of getting a quieter position. </li>
  <li>If the White player is better at tactical positions than the Black player, White has greater chances of winning the game. </li>
  <li>The White player may be better prepared in the opening than Black player for this particular line. </li>

  <p>One example - Nigel Short, a master of tactical positions, outplayed his strong Grandmaster opponent Vladimir Akopian in this position, playing <a href="http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1079886">White</a>. </p>
  
  <p><strong>On the minus side -</strong> </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Complex tactical positions may suit the Black player's style of play and Black might enjoy these complications. </li>
  <li>Black might be as good as White in tactical positions or even better. Thus, White has good chances of losing the game.</li>
  <li>Black might be very good at defense and at best White will only manage a draw. </li>
  <li>The Black player might be prepared just as well in the opening as the White player or even better in this particular line. </li>

  Your objective assessment of White's position after 6. Ng1 is quite on the mark. 
  A. Objectively speaking...
  It's hard to see how this position could be good for White. 
  On the plus side - 
  
  White has a good center.
  Black's pawn on f4 is weak. 
  Black's kingside is a bit loose. 
  
  On the minus side - 
  
  White is a pawn down at the moment. 
  White's own kingside is weak. 
  
  Is a good center worth a pawn? Sometimes it is, sometimes it is not. In this position, it can be shown that at best White is only equal. There is no line that gives White an advantage. 
  B. Subjectively speaking...
  White played the King's Gambit because White wanted a sharp tactical game.
  On the plus side - 
  
  The White player has successfully achieved a complex tactical position which suits his/her style of play. 
  Complex tactical positions may not suit the Black player's style of play. Perhaps he/she played 1...e5 with the intention of getting a quieter position. 
  If the White player is better at tactical positions than the Black player, White has greater chances of winning the game. 
  The White player may be better prepared in the opening than Black player for this particular line. 
  
  One example - Nigel Short, a master of tactical positions, outplayed his strong Grandmaster opponent Vladimir Akopian in this position, playing White. 
  On the minus side - 
  
  Complex tactical positions may suit the Black player's style of play and Black might enjoy these complications. 
  Black might be as good as White in tactical positions or even better. Thus, White has good chances of losing the game.
  Black might be very good at defense and at best White will only manage a draw. 
  The Black player might be prepared just as well in the opening as the White player or even better in this particular line.

  I recommend you check the book "Winning with the King's Gambit", from Joe Gallagher (the book is a bit old, from early 90s, but is still a nice collection of games) he examines this line in the first 8 games of the book. Black replies include 6. ... f3, 6. ... Nf6, 6. ... Bh6, 6. ... Qf6.
  The general idea is, White has a strong centre, Black has space in king side, sometimes they get a strong f3 pawn passed & protected. But they also have several weaknesses (Black squares in king side (exchanging dark bishops is good for White)).
  White sometimes castle kingside, but more often queenside, or not castle at all. 
  The breakthrough e4-e5 is key in White's attack plan.

  > **Comments:**
  > **username_3**: In the most recent book, King's Gambit, from John Shaw (Quality Chess), author dismisses  the position as slightly better for Black, he doesn't like 4. Bc4 as premature (Bishop's best square is yet unknown), and instead proposes Quade style 4. d4 g5 4. g3.  
  > **username_3**: My advice? I think the line with 6. Ng1 at certain levels is good enough, even if not fully sound is full of a kind of "typical" king gambit games (no armonious development, both sides struggling with structural imbalances and neglecting typical development for more immediate concerns in attack/defense).
