thanks, no.

That is SO AWESOME!! I LOVE any game with a big sacrificial trap.

It gets even better if black tries to hold onto the rook with na6

Nice!!!

 Thanks I thought so too :D .. this is actually a known trap its called the Wurzburger trap or something like that, but still its very useful to know.

Yes, and remember 8. ... Bg4 since that is what Black wil probably play.

I could well be wrong, but I think that line up to move 10 or so is known in the UK as the Milner-Barry gambit. M-B was one of the group of mathematicians and cryptanalysts (many of whom were chess players as well) who did the codebreaking at Bletchley Park.

Very nice. I saved the game for future study. I've never played the Vienna game, but will begin learning it. Again, thanks and high quality post.

Really? I might be wrong , but I thought the Milner-Barry Gambit was a gambit in the French Advance. Goes like this (with the order not necessarily being the same):

you're right iaeuy. I just googled M-B and openings, and the M-B gambit is a line in the French. He also has a line named after him in the Nimzo-Indian, and one in the Petrov. Everything but the Vienna!

With regards to the original game posted, Black has improvements around move 11 or 12.

12...Bxf3 is definitely just bad.

I know thats how white won the game , black took with the bishop on f3 because he thought that after the exchange he could take on d4, but then comes the deadly check :p
