5...Qe7 6.Nc3 c6 can be played with two ideas: 7.Qb3
A) 7...d5 (-+ according to Firnhaber) 8.Bxd5! cxd5 9.Nxd5
Qxe4+ 10.Ne2 and Black will have a hard time. A sample
line is Kd8 11.o-o-o Nd7 12.Qc3 Ne7 13.Qc7+ Ke8 14.Nef4.
B) 7...d6 and now White has a choice:
B1) 8.Nf3 Nd7! 9.o-o-o Nc5 10.Qc2 Firnhaber-Henningsen, Kiel 1979, b5 and I do not see compensation;
B2) so better 8.o-o-o Wysowsky-Rozman, corr 1951.
This also means that White must avoid 5...d6 6.Nf3 c6
7.Qb3 Qe7 8.Nc3 and try 6.Qb3 instead.

Hi, as a fellow occasional Danish gambit practioneer i feel obliged to add my comments here.   

I must admit when confronted with 3. Qe7 it made me uncomfortable.  It changes the position completly.  However, I believe with logical continuation white can gain an advantage(as is supported by a 63% rate for white) 

Also, another similar plan at black's disposal is 1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. c3 dxc3 4. Bc4 cxb2 5. Bxb2 Qe7!?  What does everyone think of this line?

In the Alekhine game 7...Bb4 is much better.
4.Qxd4 is a bad version of the Centre Game 3.Qxd4.

I seem to recall in a book on the Goring/Danish by Ken Smith that he recommended 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 Qe7 4.cxd4 Qxe4+ 5.Be2. I can't find too many games in this line, but according to the chessbase database it's been played 5 times, white winning 3 and drawing 2. Furthermore, it was the preferred move of Rudolf Spielmann, and Alekhine himself played it on one occassion.

If white doesn't want to continue in gambit style, 4.Bd3 looks good enough for an edge, and 4.Qxd4 looks okay for white too. But either 5.Be2 or 5.Be3 would be the gambiteer's preference, and they both look quite promising for white.

Danish Qe7

I wish every reader a pleasant chessyear.

In the category Daring Defenses against 1.d4 Craig
Evans asked about 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 Qe7.
I have played the Danish for 15 years or so, before
abandoning it, but I never have met this one.
But I have met 3...Qh4 which is a bit alike,
and I lost. So I am sure that 3...Qe7 is a great
weapon, as it is rather sound too. White's best
chance, I think is to stick to his gambit with 4.cxd4
Qxe4+ 5.Be3. See the example game with some
light comments:

Morais,V (2130) - Quadrio,A (2120) [C21]
Honra Honra (9), 1994

1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 De7 4.cxd4 Dxe4+ 5.Le3 Pf6
6.Pc3 Lb4 7.Pf3 Pd5 8.Dd2 Pxe3
Not necessary yet. 8...Qe7 is good.

9.fxe3 Lxc3
Again 9...Qe7 deserves attention.

10.bxc3 d5 11.Ld3 De7 12.0-0 0-0 13.Tae1 Dd6
13...f5 prevents White's next move, but Black has
a bad bishop.

14.e4 dxe4 15.Lxe4 Pd7 16.Lc2 Pf6 17.Pg5 g6
Not 17...h6 18.Qd3! or 17...Bg4 18.Rxf6!

18.Df2 Kg7
18...Ng4? 19.Qh4 h5 20.Rxf7! and White wins.

19.Lb3?
Better 19.Qxf6+ immediately.

19...Lf5 20.h3 h6 21.g4 Ld3 22.Dxf6+ Dxf6 23.Txf6
Kxf6 24.Ph7+ Kg7 25.Pxf8 Kxf8
White could have reached this endgame without the
Black h-pawn. Now it is about equal.
In this line there are some points to net for the well
prepared player, with either colour.

Any different views?
