Why do you think

Avatar of wongroldan

I think it's the damiano defense, damiano gambit

It gives up a rook.

P.S. Nxe5 is a brilliant move.

Nxe5 isn’t a brilliant move. It isn’t even the best move in the position

Brilliant moves dont have to be the top engine move. A brilliancy is a great move involving a clever sacrifice of a piece to gain or maintain advantage. Not always the best move.

The description of a brilliant move is "The best move -- and hard to find"

no its the kings gambit

When the name you use does not describe the moves you offer, the name is the B.E.* Gambit. Certainly the worst, as it only seeks attention.

Damiano’s gambit was a knight sacrifice, not the stupid f-pawn advance. No one knows history.

I said nothing to the contrary. What I did say is that people get the name and history wrong. Please see http://chessskill.blogspot.com/2013/06/damianos-gambit.html

By that logic, almost every gambit ever is brilliant. The Damiano Gambit doesn't even win material, since after Qe7, there is no way to defend the e4 pawn that also doesn't lose the knight. You just end up with a centralized knight at the cost of a center pawn, with the only advantage white has is the extra tempo (which if Qxe4+ you waste your gained tempo blocking) and the potential for a kingside attack due to black’s own poor move. It's probably only a brilliant on extremely low depth
