it not only looks bad. it is bad. the refutation is not even that hard to find, even otb.if you want an opening that leaves you with a positional bad position in which you will be defending most of the time, please do.

I know this, but I'm just posting it here to see if anyone comes up with any new ideas, or those that do not know the series.

What's the refutation?
Sergei Kasparov, a 2484 rated player, lost to a 2284 player in this line! This shows how prone IMs and even GMs are prone to cheap traps.

Bb5 lines really take the fun out of the colorado. if you want analysis you can take alook at some of the other forum topics. theres no need for repetition
Very interesting, thanks for sharing with us :-)
I like to accept gambits but hate to give gambits

NM Aww-rats has also done much and great work on the Colorado gambit in his Nimzovitsch defense series on youtube. It's the unsoundness of it that attracts me. I love to win with it against players that criticise it.
I set out to try and learn this once. But white never did anything I needed him to do :( I would like a good gambit line as black, other than the insane Latvian gambit

good gambit lines for black are rare as tempi matter and black is already a tempo down. however there are of course exceptions such as the benko.

Good line for black. Black gives pawns free to gain a huge development advantage. It's a very good line to the players who are very aggresive and are not afraid to loose as first mistake may turn to last mistake of the game.

Check out these gambits. I'm not saying they're all unrefutable but they 're fun to play and may have a surprising effect on your opponents.

Two years later, no refutation, lol.
8. Nf5 seems much better(to play Ng7), though I don't know what normal person
would play like that.
I have found a new opening that is very suitable for aggresive players. It is called the Colorado gambit. It looks very bad, but it has many nice little traps. I will give you a few variatios.
