THE ROUSSEAU GAMBIT
aka. Ponziani Counter Gambit
White is building an attack against Black's KB2(f7).
Black leaves the "Épine Dorsale" with a dubious gambit King's Bishop's Pawn to KB4(f5), hoping to tempt will drag White's KP off-centre. Similar to the (sound) Ponziani. Parisian Eugene Rousseau emigrated to New Orleans in the 1840s. B-Alt.
