It's a good weapon! I should point out that unless your opponent plays c6 in the position shown above, it is better for black. There are definitely more solid options, and I would never play this in classical time formats. Blitz or bullet? hell yea! Me playing it in rapid is.... probably unwise. But a 1900 fell for it, so others will too!
It's a good line. U played well 🤓
I got bongclouded by a 2300 where I was white and managed to lose that game. Shame on me so don't be mad 😂

@rupam44 it’s nice to know I’m not alone in throwing away winning positions!
I was suffering from this problem for a while before overcoming it. You threw away one game like this,while it was my daily routine for a few months. I couldn't do anything and I was getting frustrated.

I have a 90% loss rate against hippo like random stuff in bullet lol. Honestly, just don't play traps, but it's fine. I'd just keep the queen safe and play carefully and slowly if I had this issue
Nice new profile pic

@hank01 don’t worry, not really angry. Just frustrated, I suppose.

Hey all! Thoroughly frustrating game for me. It's only recently that I've begun viewing 1900+ opponents as potentially beatable, and today I really had an opportunity. I've got a nasty weapon against the Scandinavian called the Leondhart Gambit. I've only had the chance to execute the trap successfully once, in person, and my opponent immediately resigned out of respect. Today, I had another chance to play it. But my opponent did not resign. It's an interesting gambit, as the particularly trappy line I played is objectively worse for white if your opponent knows their theory. If not, then we win a queen for two pieces. But I proceeded to COMPLETELY mishandle my attack. And then I got my queen trapped. I am unreasonably mad XD
In all seriousness, though, this is a great example of why you shouldn't resign when you have a lot of piece activity and an odd, rare, position. Let's see the game....
My nasty weapon against the Scandinavian is called the Tennison Gambit

@kyobir unfortunately the tennison gambit is so well known at this point (thanks to the ballistic missile) that it isn’t really worth attempting :(

11. Qc7+ I think breaks 2 principles: Don't attack with just one or 2 pieces or without development. Also when up significant material you usually will want to play safer moves. There's no need to risk in such a situation.

@fissionfowl perhaps! Though it was 21. Rae1 that was the real mistake.

@d4iscrazy well we’ve seen that enough with Hikaru’s “botez gambit” speedrun…

Ur first opponent must have been noob if he resigned
He's a 1740, so not too bad He resigned because he respected that I would probably beat him up a full piece over the board. It was a longer time control, too.

No way should anybody resign in that position
