Pretty dumb trap and I'm sure it's already been posted but it does actually occur and  I've probably won 10 or more games in my life with this

Another very well known one, but just in case it isn't here yet.

what i just said in a diagram

White will capture the bishop with his pawn, black can't take the pawn with knight because of Qe1+. Instead, black will play d5 and the bishop will have to retreat to d3 and the game will go on. Another line is for white not to capture the bishop immediately and instead play d5.

Regardless, the Evans gambit is just better.

i know about both of those lines

[the evans gambit gets refuted too in fact this line is way more effective as i keep on losing  against players MUCH lower rated than me in this line

there are no other playable gambits in the Giuoco Piano. the other others I can think of are the Jerome gambit and Italian gambit, both of which are busted trash. I would switch openings if you want something aggressive to play lol

 

also as far as I'm aware, there are no known refuations for the evans gambit, there are just a lot of sharp lines that you need to know

Ever heard of the Greco gambit or the Mason Gambit? Both have been played hundreds of times by masters

Username matches up. This reply chain is literally discussing the Greco gambit. "Both have been played hundreds of times by masters" is a fallacy, just because something is played by a master doesn't inherently make it good (ex: the greco gambit).

Here's a fun one out of the London system:

Can you spot the winning combination?

It's not like black will fall into this all the time, but it's a good line to keep in your toolbox for all you London Players out there.

angryspacevoid said something like:

um usually I play Bd2 as white in the giouco piano main line.
