I'm super proud of getting a RARE mini against a poodle, but even moreso that I did it with 92% accuracy in an advance line when I hate pawns on e5 which should either be open for my dark square bishop and/or a nice spot for a knight

Against the Winawer I really like playing this Winckelmann-Riemer gambit because alot of players foolishly take the pawn without realizing the difference between this and a regular BDG. This is one gambit where black really should decline.

For example, many of my opponents do this, which looks OK at first glance, but it turns out black is practically lost and getting mated in the next few moves after a white queen gets to h4.

MOST players accept the alapin diemer and ...c5 is next and so far, I'm 6 wins and 2 draws in the franco sicilian

New orthoschnapp is a statistical dog. Original performs better
