My opponent was a very promising young twelve-year-old boy who was regional champion in his category. He had been playing the Queen’s Gambit for a while, but was completely unaware of the Albin Countergambit.

1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 d4 4.e3?

The reply that all Albin Countergambit players hope for. It’s a natural move, to get rid of the advanced pawn, but it’s bad. White is now on the edge of the abyss.

4…♗b4+ 5.♗d2

5.♘d2 will hardly occur to a player who does not suspect what is hanging over his head. And he who does suspect it will obviously never play 4.e3. After 5…dxe3 6.fxe3 ♕h4+ 7.g3 ♕e4 8.♘gf3 ♘c6 Black has the same type of advantage as will be dealt with in the following game: namely a better pawn structure because of the two isolated and weak white e-pawns.

5…dxe3!
