The Brilliant Knight Sacrifice!!
Missed mate in one in the second game (move 11).
In the first game, 6.Nxf7 is not brilliant- just a good move (about equally good to 6.d4). It turned out to be bad though after 7.Nxh8? and outright losing after 8.Qf3?
White won easily, but this is completely irrelevant to the soundness of the opening: It was a series of blunders, and Black made the more serious ones.
But in any case, this should be a very instructive game if you care to analyse it yourself (which means: no external aid, including engines and the Chessdot analyser).
Hello, I am Fintan. I would like to show you two of my games where the brilliant Knight sacrifice move helped me win. Since my elo is only around 700-800, I often make mistakes, please forgive me.
Below are two of my games.
