The move order chosen by Swedish player Johh was 1. d4 f5 2. e4 fxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 c6 5. f3 e3. Johh only sports a 1525 USCF rating, but he has beaten IMs who are foolish enough to play ef allowing a strong initiative with no chances of losing the game!
So Black played 5. ... e3! which slows down the first players development and makes the e3 Bishop a cumbersomely placed BIG PAWN searching for a role! I will never forget Saved By Bell TV star Samuel "Screech" Powers(Dustin Diamond) who was a benefactor of the Royal Game and a nice guy who spoke at a tournament I played in many years ago. Screech loved the game and appreciated aspects of positional play!
From the diagrammed position, one can readily observe a piece configuration not pleasing to an attacking check mate the King player. Johh moved his f pawn twice to prevent the liberating pawn move e5. Again, note how awful the prelate on the e3 square is placed while White's development lags immensely!! Black played the freeing contest the center move c5 and won easily in the ending phase of the game.
A well known chess adage espoused by legends like Benjamin, Shirov, D. and M. Gurevich is to accept gambit pawn and then give it back if initiative reaches fever pitch.
Marco Antonio Tavares,
MatoJelic, Rūdolfs Nukševičs,Lucas Wind,Avery Church,Antonio Innocente love the Dutch defense and don't want to abandon cuz of some inebriated player who is homicidal about his King Pawn!
