About the Baldwin Gambit

The Baldwin Gambit arises from the Bello Gambit, 7. Nc3, rather than the 7. e5 of the main Double Muzio. After 7...Qd4+ 8. Kh1 Qxc4, White has given up both the knight and the c4-bishop. The move 9. Nd5 sends the remaining knight toward c7 and f6 while the queen bears down on f4 and f7. Analysis judges the attack insufficient: after 9...d6, Black stays two pieces ahead, and White's compensation falls short.
