Feb-15-05		Elrathia Kingi: Nice variant on Legal's

Apr-14-05		Vischer: I'm curious. What about 6.Nxe5!? and if 6...dxe5 7.Bxf7+ Ke7 8.Bg5+ winning the queen. Against 6...Qe7 7.Bxf7+ Kd8 8.0-0 Qxe5 9.Re1 Q moves 10.Re8+ Kd7 11.Qxg4+ Kc6 12.Rxc8

Apr-16-05		Vischer: Ah I guess it doesn't matter because 6.Ng5 just wins immediately

Dec-20-06		Rubenus: <Vischer> 6. Nxe5 Qe7 wins the knight according to my analysis. Always watch out when you didn't castle yet!

Jan-03-07		Phony Benoni: I've played 6.Ng5 on occasion, and pulled this one off a couple of times: 6...Be6 7.Bxe6 fxe6 8.Qf3(!) Qd7 9.Qxb7 Qc6 10.Qc8+ Ke7 11.Qxe6+ Kd8 12.Nf7#

Jul-29-07		Infohunter: <Phony Benoni: I've played 6.Ng5 on occasion, and pulled this one off a couple of times: 6...Be6 7.Bxe6 fxe6 8.Qf3(!) Qd7 9.Qxb7 Qc6 10.Qc8+ Ke7 11.Qxe6+ Kd8 12.Nf7#> In your line, if 8...Qc8 then 9.Qf7+ Kd8 10.Nxe6+, winning Black's Queen. Fact is, I'm surprised to see that <cg> has no games in the database with the 6.Ng5 continuation; looking for one was what got me to this game in the first place.

Oct-10-07		Infohunter: <Rubenus: <Vischer> 6. Nxe5 Qe7 wins the knight according to my analysis.> 6.Nxe5 Qe7 7.Bxf7+ Kd8 8.O-O and if now Black proceeds to win the Knight with 8...Qxe5, then 9.Re1 gets Black into hot water right away, e.g. 9...Qf6 10.Re8+ Kd7 11.Qg4+ Kc6 12.Qa4+ etc.--the King hunt is on. Personally, I'd recommend that Black play the correct move at his fifth turn, to wit 5...f6, and not the stinker 5...d6.
