I want to talk about the" boring " line Ruy Lopez exchange variant with F6.


But for the blitz game and the bullet you have a big surprise for the opponent-KxE5



So it looks incredible - is it possible to play this way!? The answer is Yes, it is possible!
Of course, this sacrifice is not correct but to refute this sacrifice from black it requires an accurate game play.
So you can engoy seing some typical examples:

I only checked the first game, but I have to admit, this has more bite than I expected. It could probably work on longer time controls (I mainly play daily chess)...probably get lots of interesting if not winning games 😊

I faced this sacrifice OTB one time.   After 7.Qh5+ I played 7...Kd7 and won without difficulty.  It doesn't seem to me to be a good sacrifice.

KD7 is the strongest move, but sometimes I managed to defeat my opponent. I think that this sacrifice is not only a tactical idea, but also a positional sacrifice, whites do not get a quick attack, but they get a strong center better development and vice versa black has a bad king with limited space. So it would be interesting for me to play the match at this opening, if you want, I am ready to discuss the details.

I see this all the time in Blitz. It doesn't work because the King has more flight squares than in lines where this sacrifice works. You can lose to it when you get overconfident and know you obviously winning and don't play well, but I wouldn't expect it to be good for more than that, especially in slower time controls.

I only play blitz and bullet on this site.  I'd be willing to play you some 5 or 7 or 10 minute games,  We could alternate colors playing the position.  Let me point out your rating is about 450 points above mine so I don't know how much of a challenge I could provide, but we could gain insight on the position.

another example of the quick defeat of black:

 I continue posting examples of my games with this opening. The next game was played on a  Russian arena against an opponent with a  rating 2300 - it is equivalent to the chess.com raiting 1900-2000.

So watch and enjoy.
