About the Anderssen-Cordel Gambit

This line branches from the Anderssen Defense of the Kieseritzky Gambit. After 7...Bd6 White plays 8. d4, and when Black replies 8...Nh5, White answers 9. Bxf4 Nxf4. This returns the bishop for the f4-pawn, so White is down two pawn units. In return, White gets open central files, doubled d-pawns that clamp the center, and a half-open f-file against Black's loosened kingside. Play is highly tactical.
