in post #17 5...Nxd5 isn't the main line. It's mainly 5...Na5 (or 5...b5) 6.Bb5+ c6 7.dxc6 bxc6 8.Be2 h6 9.Nf3 (Nh3?!)

Reasonable doubt, that was an immortal game astonishingly beautiful, and it was one of the more beautiful mates i have seen in a while

This game was in a tournament, he beat me surprisingly convincingly in the first round and his low rating jumped up from about 1500 to 1800! I managed to exact my revenge ...

@winnersp, your opponent was completely winning after 10. Nxd5?? Qxd5, you blundered a whole piece.  If you played 10. Bxf6 first you could win a pawn.

3... Nxe4 is always a mistake.  I usually follow up with 4. Qe2.
