Hi guys,

The morra gambit had been a good servant to me. Inspired by a book, I picked up the Morra and played it in rapid and classical chess, with quite ok results.

The Morra bears some poison, some of this you can see in my video analysis below

LOVE the morra. I really miss my 90% stats from 10 years ago, but I still win more than I lose with it and can do better with homework.

here's a SUMMARY of the theory I was building before transpositions made it too cumbersome to be able to navigate back and forth and be able to find my place on either end of a transposition, but I hope this helps someone. some day, after I fix the lines that are REALLY broken in my repertoire, I'll revisit this

if you think THIS looks daunting, try adding a couple hundred plus lines of theory to it. it's possible there are errors too as my brain was so frazzled when I got half way through all of the theory, I could no longer navigate what I had with the tree editor I use
