There are no games found in the database though. 6. Bg5 is a blunder. Be2 and white is fine.
What is the name of this opening checkmate?
Sort:
Legal mate! a classical mate.
The first game played by Legal :
Here your game leads to mate with a bishop but its almost the same, with a queen sac and mate with a minor piece.
Yes similar to Legal
It's the Stafford gambit. I see some videos, articles about it
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 Nc6 4. Nxc6 dxc6 5. d3 Bc5 6. Bg5 Nxe4 7. Bxd8 Bxf2+ 8. Ke2 Bg4#
I saw it in an older book. Something so basic must have a name
Thanks
