@sammy_boi, this is a rarity in that it's a gambit which is best not accepted. Black has other decent options like a6, c5, h6 etc. But a really crazy fun line is 6. h4 f6 7. Bd3!? with a massive mess

I have many wins accepting the pawn, but many losses as well. Black must defend precisely, while White's errors are usually less costly.

In any case, playing both O-O and h6 as Black cannot be recommended. When I accept the sacrifice, I try to castle queenside. Black can castle kingside only when the sacrifice is refused.

Here's an example of how White can go wrong and lose quickly when Black accepts the pawn.

Yeah awesome bishop mate!

15.Nxe6 was better, but that was my most significant error. 14...Qc8 was a blunder by Black.

Haven't posted here in a long time. Fun game. This was blitz, but I could totally see myself playing like this in a serious classical OTB game. happy.png

One of my first online team-match games.  I was returning to chess after years away and trying to be more aggressive than defensive.  Here's one where that worked perfectly:
