King's Gambit Demolished

Bobby Fisher used the King's Gambit many times during his illustrious career... however he would have not been happy with the ignorant post-gambit pawn moves of Mr. Seghers... ignoring 4. ...Be7 which set up the Bishop cannon deep into white's territory and spelling ultimate destruction. Only the first few moves are shown here. Mr. Seghers was able to hold off checkmate for 30 moves and force black to castle, but it was over after this exchange.
Mr. Feder, a 1500+ player, showed me how one mistake in the opening can lead to destruction.
