This is an excellent video because unlike most videos on this gambit it shows the moves that are best for black AND white ... not just black.

At 14:41 pawn to...g5!? is an intriguing option, although probably still in white's favor.

[@humanaesthetic]

I see 3 black responses. Pawn to g6, Kd8, or Qf7, but the Qf7 would lead to mate in 2. Kd8 would yield either loss of the rook or the Queen. So g6 is the best move for black. White may respond with Bxc6+, but I don’t see a good continuation after pawn takes back so white may move the queen back to e2 to defend the knight, but white may lose the g pawn. So white is down a pawn in the variation I calculated but black has a damaged pawn structure with the bishop pair; I’d probably lean toward black having a slight edge despite being a little behind in development.

At 14:15 Instead of ...Ng4 why not ...Ba6!? followed by castling long and then discovering an attack on the queen from the rook to gain even more time for the attack?

Very logical

[@Chessfactor]

Of course 😉
