Ok, maybe the Giraffe Attack is crap. The Steinitz gambit, however, is interesting, and as far as I know it hasn´t been refuted.

Any line that Mickey Adams has lost against is definitely playable!

I like chess.com but get along of disconnennets and the system makes me lose points and my rating is terrible because of it

I used to play and love the Steinitz gambit. Super underrated in my opinion.

However, I believe black get's a little too much counterplay, which is why I would rather go with the Nf3 line (instead of Steinitz's d4)
