Chess: I hate this opening

Albin Counter-Gambit

Theme:

„I hate this opening”

I really shouldn't hate, but the Albin Counter-Gambit really is annoyingly sharp. Maybe it's just how I play, but bear with me. maybe this next game will show you why it really annoys me.

I also played white against the AC gambit on RedHotPawn and eventually lost. For a player who likes to play more strategically and nurture his pawn structures like me this is totally like a spanner in the works.

I'm trying to upload the PGN but so far no good.
