This was before the Larsen variation of he Smith-Morra Gambit had a name.

Simultaneous exhibition New York August 1974

A high school kid's double Queen sacrifice against a top ten grandmaster.

Michael Sugrue - Bent Larsen

This was a bullet game, but still, 1600s play like this?

The analysis tool in the diagrams seems totally busted so may as well just post only the game with no secondary lines

    Yeah, it's annoying that they haven't fixed this bug yet. But if anyone wants to play through the whole game, with analysis and variations included, you can click on the analysis button in the lower left of the diagram, and view the game in that tab.

    BTW, black's 9...Ne5 was a real headscratcher. Maybe a case of chess blindness......

En route to getting my blitz rating back over 1900 for the first time since Cinco de Mayo 2021, I misplayed this thematic attack, but my opponent failed to find the defensive resources to meet the rabid dog I sent after his king.

Another genius playing an "unorthodox" opening. Or, how thinking outside the box can quickly land you INSIDE the box.

Funny game. Your opponent is over 2100 FIDE since 5 years ago, and apparently coffeehouse chess isn't his forte.

Crushing a NM in 18 moves. That's what you get for not playing the opening properly:

my gem, got a score of 100, does that mean a perfect game?  I never see 100 in my games.

Lol that's an interesting gambit, though I suppose White can play better like Bd2 instead of Nc3 or Qf3 instead of Qd3
