In recent Albin Counter Gambit games with Ken,

Ken usually places his King Bishop on g2. I usually

advance my queen pawn deep into Ken's side of the

board, and Ken eventually moves his Queen to b3.

I'm not sure the placement of the White Bishop on g2

really helps Ken that much.

-10- P x P Q x P

Because Ken's dark squared bishop is gone,

I can capture with the Queen.
