Do you have a link to where it's been played, or can you post a diagram? (I'm not good at reading chess moves without seeing the board).
The tomato gambit
Sort:
For the tomato gambit, John actually resolves check by a queen move (not bishop). Their game started like this:
1.f4...g5
2.fxg5...Wg7+
3.Qf2...Nd6
I'm far from an expert, but I think the gambit may be sound. White gains the pawn, but it leaves his king exposed and he is immediately checked by ...Wg7+. It's easy to resolve this check, but by now White has a vulnerable pawn, and Black is better in development.
Other opinions? Fun to see some games being studied! (and not just played).

First up is the tomato gambit, which starts with 1. f4 g5
Is it sound, I think not, black gets some comp for the pawn after 2. fxg5 Wg7+ 3. Bf2 Nd6, but is it enough?
