If anybody ever tries that on you again, see below! You might want to try this trick. Really, there are a lot of ways to make that sacrifice on f2 look silly. 6. Qe2, Bh3 as in the game which is quite strong (quite possibly best), Nf3, etc.

This game reminds me of a this blitz game played many years ago.

An interesting game with a blunder at the end but it seems like he was lost anyways.

Sacrificed my queen against "Boris", who Sparkchess describes as "fast and aggressive, good for more advanced players" he didn't show much aggression here though tongue.png There's a stronger one called Guru but you have to buy the full version to play "the old master who is slow, but deadly". grin.png

 @csayant2014 The Goering Gambit is one of my favorites as well. wink.png

@Robhad The right way to play the hillbilly attack is 1.e4 c6 2.Bc4 d5 3.Bb3!?

Now if black accepts the pawn, white gets pretty good compensation with 3...dxe4 4.Qh5 e6 (or 4...g6 5.Qh4 Nf6 6.Nc3) 5.Nc3 Nf6 6.Qh4. I won a bunch of blitz games here with this line.

But if black declines the pawn (e.g. 3...Nf6 or 3...e6), the bishop on b3 ends up being kind of stupid.

Robhad

@chuddog Interesting! As black, would you say it's best to take the pawn and force white to show proof of his compensation, or decline and take comfort in the fact that the bishop on b3 is a poorly placed piece with the pawn structure being as it is?

@chuddog: What do you think of the 6... g5!? line? Just curious.

chuddog

Declining is simpler and safer, IMHO. 5...g5 seems interesting, but I never really thought about it or had it played against me. In real tournaments I play 2.d4; the hillbilly is just for blitz fun.
