I have won a few games with 1. e4 e5 2 Nc3 Nf6 3. Bc4 NxP  4. BxP+ KxB 5. NxN d5 6. Qf3+ Kg8? 7. Ne2 ( a swindle ) PxN 8. Qb3+  Resigns. Is this new?

Did they actually play an unpopular variation such as the Frankenstein Dracula?

Can you give me a link?

Book rejects 4. BxP+ Did they actually play it?

Avatar of fischerman_bob

OK you went to my link. But no where is 4. BxP+ explored.

Book does not refer to a particular book. It means in this context accepted moves.

Of course with perfect play traps are impossible. All I am asking is, has my trap been seen before?

Avatar of fischerman_bob

That is why I gave black's Kg8 a question mark and why I called  my Ne2 a "swindle". However, even if black does not move Kg8 I believe my sacrificing the center for an attack against an uncastled king worth it.

You would be surprised! I have won against 1900 players with that swindle!

Avatar of fischerman_bob

Perhaps my "trap" isn't sound. All I am asking is if it has been seen before.

Avatar of fischerman_bob

Do you think that sacrificing the center for a vulnerable enemy king is worth it?

Avatar of fischerman_bob

I will never be a grandmaster. Winning chess.com points is superfluous to me. However, creating something new ( art ) is important to me!

BTW calling me "skippy" seems rude and implies that you are not interested in a serious discussion.

Avatar of fischerman_bob

OK, you are a troll. BTW what is your rating at chess.com? It says 1200. Is that accurate?

Avatar of fischerman_bob

I'm 1802. Are you rated more then that?

Avatar of fischerman_bob

Even if you are rated more that does not mean that my points are not valid, or that I deserve to be insulted.

Some people get their kicks stomping on a dream.

I sense that Morticia would step in & call it a draw.

Avatar of fischerman_bob

Could you actually say something relevant? Is the OP variation sound?
