1.d4,Nf6 2.Bg5,d5 3.Bxf6, gxf6 4.e3,c5 5.c4,cxd4

Bill jumps straight into a home cooked novelty which he demonstrates that White will struggle against his idea of a good Pawn Gambit versus the 3.Bxf6 gf6 Trompowski. Bill looks in detail at many of the 3…gf6 positions, attempts to use the Bishop Pair, and strives to get Black active – even at the cost of a pawn or of maintaining a good pawn structure.

5c3 is also considered, but Black is able to play 5…e5 and asks some questions of White. Bill pushes the merits of 3…gf6 to trump the Tromp.
