In this video, IM Alex Astaneh is covering the Rousseau Gambit that arises out of the Italian Game. This variation is characterized by black's move 3...f5 and is quite risky for black as white already developed two pieces whereas black only developed the knight on c6. The Rousseau Gambit is in nowadays not a much played variant especially at the highest levels as it puts black into a weaker position.
The main focus of this video is on the best play in the Rousseau Gambit after black's last moves:
1:38 4...fxe4
4:18 4...exd4
