cool line for fork on f7

Beautiful...

whatttt?

Na5 or Nxd5 are both playable for black

Whoa! Anybody else notice how this line above is so very reminiscent of the OMG trap in the Blackburne-Shilling Gambit?

If you compare the lines:

The above: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 (Italian) Nf6 (Two Knights Defense) 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 (the diagram picks it up from here...) 5...Nd4 (the Fritz) (also common are Nxd5 - usually leading to the Fried Liver Attack or the Lolli Attack, Na5 - main line, Nb4 - the Kloss, b5 - the Ulvestad) 6. d6 Qxd6 7. Nxf7? Qc6 8. Nxh8? Qxg2!

with the OMG Trap: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 (Italian) Nd4?! (this is the Blackburne-Shilling Gambit, risky but fun for black against a novice; now say: "OMG! I left my e-pawn hanging - hope they fall for the bait...) 4. Nxe5 Qg5 ("Whoops! My bad, look at that nice fork on f7!") 5. Nxf7 Qxg2!

The OMG Trap continues: 6. Rf1 Qxe4+ followed by the loss of the game or the white queen: 7. Qe2 Nxe2 or 7. Be2? Nf3#.

White would do well to remember one of the important opening principles: Castle early and safeguard the king!  He can do so on move 7 in the above diagram instead of 7. Nxf7?

Let's not forget b5, the Ulvestad. Nb4, Bg4 hmmm, maybe not...
