About the Bronstein Gambit

The Bronstein Gambit comes out of the old main line 3. Nxe5 Qf6 4. d4, where 4...d6 drives the knight off and shuts in the f8-bishop. After 5. Nc4 fxe4, the check 6. Qh5+ makes Black weaken the kingside with 6...g6, and 7. Qe2 then turns on the advanced e4-pawn. In return the d4-pawn has no defender against the queen on f6, so the play is tactical.
