Nakhmanson Gambit, Ke8 Defence

[edit | edit source]

8...Ke8

[edit | edit source]

The immediate 9.Qxe4+ would be a blunder allowing the Black queen to start chasing the White one around threatening to trade.

But since the e4-knight has to be captured before it retreats to f6, the only move here is 9. Re1.
