FAVOURITE

This is my favourite opening.
Well, obviously, 4...Nc5 is a mistake, and not at all the correct line. Without looking it up, I'm pretty sure the "book" move for that position is 4...d5

This way black only loses a pawn instead of his queen! The mistake was 3...Nxe4. The book move was 3...d6
This is called the Tarrasch trap, by the way.
What a joke

I believe that is a Phillidor's defense? I used to play something like one but I forgot how
This is the same right?
Sorry, end is not completelly correct.
Chemicalchessman,
I have yet to see a game played like that.
This is called the Russian Game, you may want to check out http://www.chesskids.com/level3/cl7l5.htm#t12 but I'll insert a diagram that explains the correct course of action for both parts
The main line of the Petrov's Defence (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6) is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.d4 d5.
There is another way.
This is a game, me against sasha, showing it can be dangerous.
