Black has a better position here, even though this famous game produced great attacking themes by white.  Sort of makes you think, does it really matter if your plan does not have the approval of the computer, as long as the idea is powerful?

Chess is not about playing correct (= the engine), but about winning. So it is not of real importance if the engine does or does not like an opening. The important thing is, if the opening gives you good practical winning chances at your level.

The Trompovsky is a legitimate opening.
