Mayhem in the Morra? I think not
Sort:
I am no expert, but the point must be to keep a clear lead in development, after move 7 white seems to be too slow coordinating an attack.
3...Nf6! causing your opponent to wonder if there will ever be a day when someone actually bothers to take the pawn. It's a real shame because I liked this gambit. It's pretty straight forward and leads to a lot of the usual sicilian pawn structures.
Anyway isn't 14.Na4 kind of a problem?

Good to see a stronng line against it!

The Morra is complicated and a lot of fun from both sides.
Almost everyone accepts it.
A good line for 1200s, 1300s, and 1400s to play to move above 1200, 1300, 1400.
If you don't feel it's power, you need to play it more and actually learn a bit about it.
The Morra is very moral morraaaa
Welcome all, Marc Esserman overestimates the "power" of the Morra all throughout his book. However I think you can force many murky positions where white can't clearly find compensation for his pawn(plus a piece in most cases) name the "Professional Choice" White has a lead in development, but black should be able to get his pieces and castle.
I reccommend you do some analysis on your own and have fun surprising your enemy gambiteer.
