What’s more, it’s easy for black to go wrong if he is not familiar with it! You can watch a Youtube video on it HERE.
White’s play in the following miniature is a perfect example of the dangers black faces.
White is the forner Soviet, now Israeli, GM Boris Avrukh (born 1978). He was the World Under-12 champion in 1990. Black is the Moldovan-French WGM Almira Skripchenko (born1976), She won the European Women's Individual Championship in 2001 and is a seven-time French Women's Champion.

C24: Urusov Gambit 1.e4 e5 2.c4 f6 3.d4 exd4 The usual response. 3...xe4 is not recommended. 4.dxe5 Black has played a number of different moves here, but most often seen is g5 5.f4 e6 6.f3 and white is better. 3...xe4 4.dxe5 xf2 This is completely unsound, but it has been tried. 5.d5 5.xf2 h4+ with what should be a winning advantage. 5...e7 6.xf2 c5+ 7.e3 xd5 8.xd5 White gas a winning position. Chulis,A (2172) -Kanzlirsch,A Vienna 2003 4.f3 xe4 5.xd4 f6 Technically this position is evaluated as equal as black has no weaknesses, but white's huge lead in development must account for something. 6.c3 6.g5 is not as good as it looks., After c6 7.e3+ e7 8.xf6 gxf6 9.c3 xe3+ 10.fxe3 b4 Black is slightl better. 6.g5 e7 This looks logical and is the move most often played. After 7.c3 Black has 7...Nc6, 7...c6 and 7...O-O, all reasonable moves. 6...c6 7.g5 d5 8.0-0-0 e7 9.h4 bd7 10.he1 Black has made no errors and her position of free from weaknesses, but white is ready to undertake action against black's K. Black's best move is probably 10...O-O dxc4 10...f8 This odd move was played in Kreiman,B (2400) -Shirazi,K (2435) New York and it's not likely to be repeated. 11.xd5 cxd5 12.xe7 xe7 13.xd5 e4 14.f4 h6 15.d6+ and white went on to win. 11.xf6 This leaves lack's K-side is in shambles. gxf6 12.e4 0-0 13.g3 h8 This loses quickly. Her position was difficult, but gar from hopeless after 13...Re8 13...e8 14.e4 f5 15.xf5 c3 16.h5 f8 17.e5 g5+ 18.xg5+ xg5+ 19.xg5 cxb2+ 20.xb2 xe1 21.xe1 e6 Black has survived the attack and white is better, but his advantage is not a winning one, 14.f5 c5 15.h5 15.e4 at once was also good. g8 16.h6 g7 17.e5 f8 18.xd7 xd7 19.xd7 and white is winning. 15...c3 16.e4 b6 17.b3 White wants to mate with Rh4. g8 17...xf2 18.h6+- g8 19.xd7 xd7 20.xf6+ g7 21.xg7# 17...a5 18.a4 a3+ 19.b1 c7 20.h4 nates 18.xf7 a5 After this white has a mate, but her position was hopelessly lost no matter what she played. 19.xd7 a3+ 20.b1 xf5 White is clearly winning, but he has a mate in 5 with the following problem-like move. 21.e8 Black resigned. 21.e8 f8 22.xf8 g6 23.xg8+ xg8 24.xf6+ g7 25.xg7# 1–0
