 | | Hanada: This is the Blackburne - Shilling opening, at least according to Eric Shiller's Unorthodox chess openings. |

| May-30-04 | | Cornwallis: When i was 1200 i fell into this same exact trap as it was played here. |
|
| Aug-15-04 | | TheGreatNN: I thought Blackburne used to play this trap in coffeehouses against amateurs such as myself(for a shilling a game - hence the name "Blackburne Shilling Gambit") years before this game was played. Why did somebody decide to label it this way instead of Blackburne vs. NN, 1880ish? Who dare deprive me of my glory? |
|
| Feb-09-05 | | aw1988: A well-known trap, widely known as the refutation of 4. Nxe5. |
|
| Jul-03-05 | | Whitehat1963: Hilarious game! |
|
| Jul-03-05 | | farrooj: Actually some masters fall for this trap. I find it quite sad that a lot of people don't know this. |
|
| Oct-26-05 | | Averageguy: Months ago my friend Tom Villiers tried this trap against me. The game went 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4 4.0-0 Nxf3 5.Qxf3 Nf6 6.d4 exd4 7.e5 (apparently winning a piece due to the mate threat at f7, however 7...d5 would save the piece)7...Nd5 (missing that move) 8.Bxd5 Qe7 9.Re1 c6 10.Bb3 d5 11.c3 dxc3 12.Nxc3 Qe6 13.Nxd5 cxd5 14.Bxd5 Qg6 15.Bg5 Bb4 16.Rad1 Bxe1 17.Bxf7+ Qxf7 18.Rd8# |

| Nov-04-05 | | cade: I've won so many internet blitz games with this trap that it is getting ridiculous. Definitely my favourite opening trap. |
|
| Mar-07-06 | | hayton3: 4.Nxe5 is playable, especially in internet Blitz. After 4...Qg5 White takes on f7 with the bishop 5.Bxf7+ Ke7 6.0-0 Qxe5 7.Bxg8 Rxg8 and White has 2 pawns for his piece, a dislodged Black King, and a looming central pawn storm. Psychologically interesting as Black will probably assume he has won after 4.Nxe5 but a few moves later he no longer has the initiative and has to start defending accurately. |
|
| Jan-25-07 | | Tactic101: Actually, white here should play Bxf7+!, Ke7 and then 0-0!. Although white loses a piece, black is still far from winning. White has an initiative and black's king is exposed. White also has 2 pawns for the bishop. The game can continue with Qxe5, Bxg8, Rxg8 and then c3!. After the knight retreats, white can continue with d4!. White has a lot of compensation for the knight with his lead in development and strong rolling pawn center. Black is in a very awkward position here. However, Nxf7?? loses on the spot, as shown here in this game. |
|
| Jan-25-07 | | Tactic101: It should be noted that Blackburne often won shillings from amateurs by playing this gambit. They would always take on f7 with the knight. |
|
| Jan-26-07 | | Tactic101: I once saw this game on Chessmaster and then I tried it out on my dad. It worked very well. But, if white knows the refutation, that is, by taking on f7 with the bishop, castling and playing c3, then the game is very interesting. However, I would definately advise just castling. White has a big advantage hereand black will have to play d6 to defend his pawn (of course, Qf6, f6 and Bd6 are bad). This is more of a cheap trap than anything else. Chessmaster told me only to set traps that improve your position. Nd4?! definately does not help. |

| Jun-28-08 | | ravel5184: This is in my introduction for Game Collection: 11 Miniature Games |
|
| Jul-01-08 | | 0o0o0o0o0: To reach the completely devastating checkmate, black needs to hope that white captures with the knight and 'nae' the bishop. For white to do this, black is hoping that they are good enough to see the knight fork, over the obvious pawn stealing Bf7+. However,they also hope white is not good enough to know this trap. So, it seems like a trap for a very particular player to me. Hope I get one! |
|
| Apr-22-09 | | JonathanJ: <tactic101> if white takes on f7 with the bishop, black plays Ke7 and either knight or bishop are lost. |
|
| May-14-09 | | WhiteRook48: 6 Nxh8 |

 | | tpstar: Unless anyone can identify Mr. Schilling, I am taking Bill Wall's reference as authoritative (link by <Hanada>) and calling this the Blackburne Shilling Gambit (aka Kostic Gambit). That is a cute story behind the eponym. =) |
