I think that double Muzio is amazing. Enough said Smile

Theres an amazing post on the first page about a double muzio game.

Your "!" key must be all worn out.

Not a Muzio as such, but similar ideas:

I know I'm rated 800 points below you and will get my butt kicked regardless of the opening, nevertheless I feel I must challenge you to back that up in a game.

The Muzio Gambit is very strong and gives white a slight advantage,

The reason modern day masters don't play it is because black is scared of the muzio and won't play g4!


Lol. I can't stop laughing.


 I'm 100% serious.

You're on dude.

The Muzio still shows up in master play (and I stress - master - not 2500 chess.com). Curiously, 6.d3 I can't find in master play ... perhaps someone could locate a few examples?

 Correction: "7.d3"

How is the game going with you two? Or is it already over?

pathfinder416

It's over: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 ... and Black resigned, upon realizing he was in zugswang.

Ahhh that sometimes happens when you are 900 points below your opponent =P...

FifthDimension

Oops only 800 points sorry =P

I think I am hearing excuses =P

Why don't you challenge me then, one game as White and one as Black (no thematics!) ... I could wipe that smirk off your face and whip you in both games, guaranteed! Then we'd see who'd still be laughing... you're the one who's a coward--moves speak louder than words, kid!


I think you are very anxious to challenge people...I just started playing chess a year ago so I am not that experienced. I looked at the game you played against XanatosGambit and you did not play very well. I think at the rate I am improving I could easily beat you in a year.

Should I post the game to embarrass you farther Gambitking ??

Good article.

Nothing that makes black sweat in a blitz game is unsound. Never underestimate the power of initiative and pressure.

I play the Double Muzio at the 1600 level and almost always win. But, yes, you need to attack intelligently or you go into the ending down at least one piece.
