A2) 6.Bc4
Here play divides into the following, after 6...fxe4:
A2.1) 7.Nxe5
A2.2) 7.Bxg8
A2.3) 7.Ng5
A2.4) 7.Bg5
A2.5) 7.Nfd2
We now follow the games with the most popular move order, that being: 7.Nxe5 dxe5 8.Qh5+ Kd7.
The following game was played only five days after the invention of the Newark Gambit. Kedyk being a strong and ambitious master-level player, I figured my new gambit would surprise him. That is exactly what happened!! Here is the game.
