1.f4 e5 {Wiki says Bird's is a standard but never popular flank opening. White's strategic ideas involve control of the e5-square without occupying it, but his first move is also non-developing and slightly weakens his kingside. Black may challenge White's plan to control e5 immediately by playing From's Gambit (1...e5!?). However, the From's Gambit is notoriously double edged and should only be played after significant study. For me it was trial and error, no previous study...} 2.fxe5 d6 3.e6 Bxe6 4.Nf3 Nf6 5.Nc3 Be7 6.e4 c6 7.d4 O-O 8.Bd3 h6 9.Qe2 Re8 10.Bd2 Qb6 11.O-O-O Bf8 12.e5 Bd5 13.Na4 Qd8 14.c4 Bxc4 15.Bxc4 b5 16.Bxb5 cxb5 17.Qxb5 Qc8+ 18.Kb1 Ne4 19.Rc1 Qf5 20.Ka1 Nd7 21.Rhf1 Qe6 22.Qe2 Nxd2 {#d}
