Gambit Tiger is indeed fun to play.
I disabled book (yes, I know, I shouldn't) and ended up with this game in which
it immediately goes for a gambit indeed.
It is a blitz 10' game, in which I'm very bad, but I noticed some moves where I
think Gambit's play really is va banque.
It bluffed me off, though.
A game with some annotations as lousy as my moves.
