It's called a blunder.

It's called a blunder.
Actually I'm in a very good position to win the game, wich is being trully weel disputed .. Latter on I'll post the complete game so you can comprove it !

the dumbass variation??? ... unless you have won with it i dont know... just doesn't seem like enough attacking power is gained by the sacrifice.

We live and learn, eh? I'm definitely gonna give it the odd run out at blitz.

I can't post the game right now because we haven't finished it yet .. But you will see how it allows me to take control of the game .. And my opponent is playing well and not making crushing mistakes nor something comparable to that ..
But like the site database show it tends to favor white xP

White: | Fedorov Alexei (2600) | ||
Black: | Adams Michael (2680) | ||
Event: | Ch Europe (team) | ||
Site: | Pula (Croatia) | ||
Score: | 1-0 | Date: | 1997 |
Opening: | King's Gambit: Accepted, Rosentreter-Testa Gambit (C37) |
There are plenty of other examples.

Interesting, but I'd be worried about heart failiour if I played that one too often. I'm scared of playing the initial KG as it is. It'll be interesting to see how you proceeded...

Reminds me slightly of the Halloween gambit, White gives up a whole Knight for a full pawn centre, and possibly a strong attack...

It also reminds me of the Muzio Gambit in the King's Gambit. The Muzio goes like this and gives white a strong attack that's difficult to defend against.

First four brave souls.
p.s. Unrated, one day a move.... just for fun.

On another chess site database (chessgames.com) the statistics are even better for white after 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.d4 g4 5.Bxf4 gxf3 6.Qxf3:
73.3% White wins
6.7% draw
20% black wins
But the sample is too small, only 15 games.
And I found no name for this opening, and no exclusive ECO code. It is classified as C37 - King Gambit Accepted.

It just seems that bringing a queen out so fast, without any other development or being able to catle, seems risky.

Here's a moving diagram of the game shown in post #11:

I'm not talking about the king's gambit .. I'm talking about what comes next to it when I give up my knight !
