Nakhmanson Gambit

Hi everyone, I find the gambit very interesting. Is it solid/should I try play this? And if they decline, is the scotch game still good? 

Thanks

can you post the moves for this gambit

Is it solid? no, of course not, but that's not what White is looking for when White plays this way. Re: declining, Nd6 is just a safe, relatively easy response which gives Black the better position, right? People who play this are hoping Black has never seen it before and will try taking the Knight without realizing just how hard the resulting position is to play (though that may be the best move if Black can defend like a computer.)

Nakhmanson gambit :

Really, I've never seen someone played this.

Maybe not as stupid as Jerome gambit but indeed, black can decline with an easy life.

Accepting probably refutes but OTB defence is very difficult and no need to enter what opponent wants!

I don't like Nd6, when development is a bit cramped, so simply Nxc3 followed by d5.

Well at least white might be able to pressure the opponent into imploding in this gambit.

A couple of example OTB Master games for this surprise blitz weapon:

Checkmate in 12 against a 2487:

Black (2448) resigns in 19:

Well I don't think Nd6 is so hard to play and Black should emerge a pawn ahead there, but sure, poucin's line looks even easier.

Looking at those games it is pretty amazing a 2487 didn't take on c4, maybe it's not so easy as it looks over the board, but yeah, normal people would have taken the bishop and then not gone in for that weird computer-looking line in the analysis, just Be7 and castled and been up a pawn for nothing.

oh yes, it is good

After the Nxc3 line, and white eventually emerges down a pawn, isn't the position still okay?

Well, if u don't mind playing a pawn down for no compensation, then your position is ok!

Oh, I'd guess that's what got many of us here. I know it's what got me here (though I think the opening was played again me once in Blitz; I just didn't know it was 'a thing' before Kevin's vid.)

I just stalk the openings section in the forums

what is the problem with dxc3

The problem is that the engines claim a slight advantage to Black, and yet, only an idiot would love to defend such a position.

so you're saying i'm an idiot because i asked what the problem is?

i dont understand what the use of saccing a knight on an enpty square is

So difficult to watch previous posts when u can see analysis answering your question
