The most surprising come back!

This was 10 min game in live chess

4...Nf6 and 4...Bc5 are the right moves.

4...Nf6 5.Ng5 is answered by 5...d5 6.exd5 Qe7+! and 4...Bc5 5.c3 is best answered by 5...Nf6 with direct transposition to old mainline Italian. Finally after 4...Bc5 5.0-0 safest and probably best is 5...d6!

I'm afraid all that are rather irrelevant, since the rest of the game is full of blunders, both sides involved. I will briefly mention the most serious ones in a following post.

Nice comeback. I too don't like playing e5 as black for the same reasons as you. Strangely enough, I just played an otb game just yesterday that was similar in the endgame but I had three pawns. I was also down a minor piece. I also managed to win it by promoting my a pawn.

Well done!

Yes, I am aware this game is fool of blunders both sides, or I wouldnt be able to come back and would lost in less than 10 moves. But since i had only 3-4 minutes left on the clock after 10th move and the game lasted more than 50 moves than lets say i was very lucky here amd the oponent had some 100 points more than me. If it was 30 min game that would be completly different story :) If you look theoreticly than this game is a bs lol but for me it is interesting because even i didnt believe I can have a draw here. And thank you for the anylise IM pfren.
