It works very well in blitz games at a 1750 level, I almost always win using it. I gain rapid pawn, center, and piece development in exchange whilst chasing the queen and their developed peices.

  • U shouldn't take on e5. Correct move: 5. O-O.
  • The knight isn't sacrificed. Correct move: 6. Nf3.

Maybe in bullet bullet.png, your final position is 100% win for black in a regular game. grin.png
