Black sacrifices one or to pawns for a manual castle, but this does give White a better position and material ahead. (But White should play carefully to avoid big material loss.)

i like this i might try this out on yahoo

This doesn't seem very nice to me.  All black now has are minor pieces protecting the king.  And minor pieces should be used, not sitting back on guard detail.

yuck.

I would definitely play as White because I would have advantage. : )

you guys dont see the power this opening had.it is very strong and i can make it work anybody care for me to use it on them in a game

If I play Black I could win as long he makes a mistake, most people unfamiliar would make some mistakes and I would win as Black.

Maybe Caissa has a sense of humour after all.

The "terrorist attack" is easily defended against, once it is recognised for what it is.

if you say so but im just saying some opening were you lose material at first help you out in the long run. for example the danish gambit you lose 3 pawns to 1 but in the long run you could win

This is a game I played against this opening.  I am still very much a learner, so excuse the rough and readiness of the general gameplay, but I hope it is still instructive.

Apologies if I got it wrong, but I was referring specifically to the post by young_roy123, who was speaking about the power of the opening.  On that basis, I adjudged Black's opening response to E4 to be irrelevant.

huh?I cant understand well

This is almost as bad as the boungcloud attack.

The white side of this is the "Tumbleweed gambit" 1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Kf2 Qh4+ 4. g3 fxg3+ 5. Kg2 etc.

Its not as bad as you'd think (assuming you only play it for fun): white's only developed piece is a queen thats just waiting to be chased around, black has many open lines, a possible mobile center, and better development. Then there's the reason why I try it at times: white instinctively gets the feeling that he must mate black due to his open king (but will sometimes just waste clock time thinking or go for flawed cheapos), but its actually quite difficult without other pieces.

I think the Trompowsky Attack is better.

Fred's dead, Baby. Fred's dead. 

Beginners can play them, but I don't like to play it.
