Who thinks they know more about the muzio gambit than me?

Hmmm... me? I don't know. Perhaps you aren't as good as you think you are. What does this battle consist of?

did you invent the "muzio gambit" by any chance?

 Um, KillaBeez does. Check him out.

No, he didn't. It's a line in the King's Gambit that involves sacrificing more than a little material. Perhaps 'Muzio5' enjoys it. It's unlikely he's the site expert on it, though.

If he is however I would suggest he could have been spending his time learning more productively..

I play it, and it is almost sound. I did a study on it, and I have a pgn file with every line to 20 moves deep.

Hence 'Muzio5'

Sorry if I sounded bigheaded.

I was just saying that at your level in my opinion doing all that is not very productive when your games will usually as Nigel Short put it be decided in a far more "unsophisticated manner".

 Well, my chess.com rating is a lot lower than my real rating.

Anyway, let's start some theory.

I challenge all of you to a rated game in the muzio.

Thanks for the offer but I'll pass. I have no need to know anything about that particular opening for now. In any case read my profile.

Your real rating can't be so high that it was really that productive to do such an in depth study.. However I am quite impressed.

I did it because I liked the look of the openingv, and I had the time to waste...

I was going to write an article on it.

 Why didn't you?

I never had the time, and could never see the purpose of distributing what I spent a long time finding publicly. I wanted to keep it private.

Did you use part of the mountain of existing theory for it?

I'm going to open a new chess.com account and set my username to "Muzio6".  -Just joking:)

 Where can you find that?

Not in NCO.

No, I used a database, a strong engine and a lot of initiative.
