Train it in TheoriaAbout the Hartlaub Gambit Accepted
After 4...f5 White takes the pawn with 5. exf5, and Black answers 5...Nf6 rather than recapturing at once, leaving White a pawn up with doubled f-pawns. The knight develops toward e4 and g4, the bishop on b7 bears down the long diagonal, and the half-open e- and f-files give Black play against White's uncastled king. The alternative to accepting is 5. d5, the declined form.
