A chess cartoon I re-hashed from a non chess carton.
This weeks problem (I do not know the composer)
White to play and checkmate in three moves.
A brief look at the Goring Gambit 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. c3
And the three most common Black 4th move here. 4...dxc3, 4....d5 and 4...Nf6.
A good OTB game looks at 3...dxc3 and a couple of RHP games then follow.
Some RHP Goring Gambit states based on games under 25 moves.
4...dxc3 White wins 515 draws 3 Black wins 173
4...d5 White wins 57 draws 4 Black wins 56
4...Nf6 White wins 315 draws 9 Black wins 260
The low number of draws is because I used games finishing on or under move 25.
