A violent Two Knights

Sort:
Sleight

Hey y'all.  This was a particularly enjoyable tactical beatdown in a Scotch transposition to the Two Knights defense.


Thoughts?

4. Bc4 is unsound, but I"m sure that's not the point of this game =P

you deserve kudos for 15. Be3 - a forced move that preventes the rather treacherous 15... c5

you should post a possible continuation after 21.. Kxf7 22. Qxh7

well, here's mine xD

4. Bc4 is hardly unsound.  The Scotch Gambit scores very well in a number of databases I have examined.  In general, it transposes directly into favorable variations of the Giuoco Piano or the Two Knights defense.  I didn't think I needed to post a continuation, the play is practically forced.

12 ... f5 offers relatively equal play, but Black's positional weaknesses tend to offer White a small edge with accurate, sharp play, and the passed e-pawn can decide in some lines.
