Nice game, thanks for sharing that one with us all.

all tactics and attack. Have you been reviewing and studying Morphy's games????

As a matter of fact I have,but I'm far from trying those type of combinations on board,infact this game is the best I can do! that's all!

In the two knights 5....Nxd5 is simply bad for black but black has 3 replies that all score better than 50% for black and they are: 5...Nd4, 5...b5 and 3...Na5 , people who play black in this line should choose one of those 3.

5-...b5,6-Bf1! Nxd5,7-Bxb5 Bb7,8-d4 exd,9-0-0! Be7,10-Nf3 0-0,11-Bxc6 Bxc6,12-Nxd4 Bb,13-c3

and black scores more than 50% in this line???

No, after 6...Nxd5 black does very poorly with under 30% but after 6....h6! black is scoring 60% !! All of this is based on chess assistant btw.

I don't mind seeing b5 or Nd4 in this line. Na5 is the only thing I really prepare for.

You may not mind them but both 5....b5 and Nd4 score a higher percentage than 5....Na5 does. I have played all 3 myself and do well with all of them but usually against weaker players as stronger players dont tend to play this line.
