Mar-10-03   Rookpawn: 4. Nxe5 Nxe5 5. d4 is an example of the "Center Fork Trick".
Mar-11-03   skakmiv: 4..Bxf2 looks interesting.

  Honza Cervenka: 4...Bxf2+?! 5.Kxf2 Nxe5 6.d4 is clearly better for white, who has bishop pair and strong center. 4...Nxe5 is better move.
Mar-11-03   drukenknight: the fork trick is often seen for black in the Philidors defense. In this case, it doesnt make sense to retreat does it?: 5...Bxd4 6 Qxd4 Qf6

  Honza Cervenka: If 5...Bxd4 6.Qxd4 Qf6, then what about 7.Nb5?
Mar-11-03   drukenknight: I have no idea, here is the fork trick in the philidors, in this case white could not decide to retreat or to capture the pawn, so he does something else! its a good game worth checking:
