Max Lange Gambit: Cunningham setup
Black accepts the gambit and develops quietly with 4...Be7
Train full lineThe plan
White develops with tempo, protects the king, and recovers the f4 pawn with the active bishop.
- Develop Bc4 before recovering the pawn
- Use d3 to secure e4
- Let the bishop recapture on f4
Watch out
- Avoid an early d4 if ...Qh4+ leaves the king awkward
- Watch for ...Na5 hitting the active bishop
