maybe white should try Bc4 instead of h4

That is a great way to lose without any fight (4...Bg7!- no Muzio nonsense).

Best thing is to refute the Muzio, which is not hard.

Not hard? In 400 years, no one has refuted it yet.

Ben_Dubuque

yeah the duoble Muzio... maybe.... actually probably by Qf5 but you still need serious tactical skill and knowledge of games played in that variation in order to survive.

This is the Muzio Gambit

For the correct sequence for Black see my game vs Porcelli which started this way:

Ben_Dubuque

and isn't Nc3 advisable that or d4 seem best.

Archerknight

In my analysis I found that  4... g4 is best.

Ben_Dubuque

that is very interesting. That does of course force (well sort of) 0-0 from white.

Please be more clear what position you refer to.

Disagree on this one. I do not think Black should allow the Muzio Gambit.

One of the few things that's been said so far that I agree with :). Black has a better option after 4.Bc4: the Hanstein Gambit.

Ben_Dubuque

after Nc6 sorry Ponz

Fiinally  a draw game!  Luft Waffles  1/2  ponz111  1/2

However, for fun I thought I would try 1. e4  e5  2. f4  exf4  3. Nf3  d5

rather than the 3. Nf3  g5 of the other games.  So here it is and I am sure Luft Waffles will post comments on this game.

ponz111

Right now of the 9 games I am playing [Centaur games] as Black against the Kings Gambit my score is 5 wins and 1 draw [vs Luft Waffles above] with 3 games still going on. I will give the 3 games...

and last the game Chess King Dreamer vs ponz111

Note it follows the game by RRM888 for several moves.

I guess that I should have at least applied for the KG challenge, if I were not qualified it would be ok, but I should at least have send my application file to ponzi Frown

Since, you are one of my good friends and since your chess has really improved lately, I would have accepted!  [but now it is too late, I have had enough Kings Gambits as Black]

Is your game against chesskingdreamer a centaur game?

ponz111

Yes, all the games are centaur games. 3 games left out of 9

guessing two draws and will try and win the 3rd.

Then this game is against the rules. It should be unrated.
