Danish Gambit Accepted, Classical Defence
7. exf6
Black will lose castling rights and have to play around a protected White pawn on g7 if she captures on c4 immediately.
So instead she throws in 7...Bb4+. In responding to the check, White must either give up the dark-squared bishop, block the dark-squared bishop's diagonal, block the d-file, or forfeit castling rights herself. All of those are good things for Black!
