(a) This consultation, game was played to test the "Breyer Gambit," or rather the form of the K's Gambit resurrected by that great chess genius. The Idea Is that since Whitens attack Is to be made on the KBP, he will do well to seize the file at once and not obstruct the Q by Kt-KB3. (b) Black can also continue with 3 Q-R5ch; 4 P-Kt3. PxP; 5 PxP, Q-B3; 6 Kt-B3, with a better game as analyzed by Rett. Or can continue with 3 Kt-QB3. and on White replying PxP, Black should reply according to Tarta-kower with 4 QxP. Kt-B3; 5 Kt-QB3, Kt-QKt5, etc. c P-B3 Is belter here, offering a P for a promising attack.
