QUEEN'S PAWN COUNTER-GAMBIT
The Maroczy or Elephant Gambit

White correctly refuted Black's gambit queen's pawn attack by capturing it with his king's pawn.
Black plays a second gambit no longer deemed playable, bringing his KB to Q3(d6) to support his KP. White replies 4.Kt-B3 for a good game. Also good is 4.P-Q4..P-K5, 5.Kt-K5..Kt-KB3, 6.Kt-B3. B-Alt.

	White	Black
 1.	P-K4	P-K4
 2.	Kt-KB3	P-Q4!?
 3.	PxP	B-Q3
