You know what, I'm just going to cut this at the bud and stop re-posting your last post with a question mark haha.

I see that I can't end this that easily.

Ok

I'm a genius. I just don't repost the previous comment and this little sherade halts to a stop

Aren’t two pieces worth more then a rook? Actually, white has 2 pawns as well. Could white have an attack here?

Hmmm, I don't know if I'm experienced enough to say. I'd just leave this one to the engine.

if only i had your opponents..

BSG is terrible to begin with. why drop a +1.7 advantage for a slim chance my opponent misses a fork?

Why don't you just give it a try before you call it out?

because its objectively bad.

hope chess basically

I can almost guarantee that in blitz games, even on your opponents, it will work 9/10 times.  

Here's some stats from lichess: Out of 49 games of the flintlock counter-gambit, only 9 accepted, for a rate 18.4%. Not very good. But, out of games where c4 was played after the flintlock position was achieved the win rate for white was 7/11, which is fairly good.

My computer says black is winning.

I also found that a Nimzowitsch Defense/Bishop's Opening can be transposed into a Blackburne Shilling by moves:1. e4 Nc6 2. Bc4 Nd4 3. Nf3 e5.

I see. I still do think it's a powerful weapon in shorter time controls though!
