[75] This is possible in case of a check with Queen, Rook, or Bishop, but not in case of check with a Knight or pawns.
[76] From the Italian Gambetto, "a trip up."
[77] With two Bishops checkmate can be forced, whilst with two Knights only checkmate cannot be given against the best defence.
[78] Intending to establish a centre at once.
[79] Considered the best reply. Black develops a piece and attacks a pawn.
[80] Or 8. ... Kt takes P; 9. Kt takes Kt, P to Q 4; 10. B to Q 3; P takes Kt; 11. B takes P, Kt to K 2, &c.
[81] If 11., Kt takes R, Black would proceed with 11. ... Q to K 2; 12. Kt to B 7, B takes P; ch.; 13. R takes B, P takes R; ch.; 14. K takes P, Kt to Kt 5; ch.; 15. K to Kt 3, Q to B 3; 16. Q to B 3, Q to Kt 2, &c., with a powerful attack.
[82] A safe defence, though troublesome for a time.
[83] The best move, White threatening with 11. P to Q 5 to win a piece.
[84] 12. B to K 2 is a sounder move.
