Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-04-04   mack: odd game this one...
Mar-04-04   GoodKnight: Nice. I also play the Smith-Morra Gambit as white.
Apr-13-04   think13: What the heck was black thinking? Don't move to e5, and especially dont take the knight. If he would have held his two pawns, this is a won game for black.
Aug-19-04   Peter Trujillo: an interesting game. very similar to some I have seen before in the danish gambit. However,I don't think that the pawn sacrifices are justified. black blundered away this game.
Feb-27-05   soberknight: Obviously, Black should play 5...e6 and can at some point give back a pawn with ...d5.
Mar-17-05   peanut: Are there any discussion boards here regarding the smith-morra? am doing some research on it. Please advice, Amateure here! thanks.
Jan-01-06   DeepBlade: 9. ...Kxf7 10. Qxd8, and the Black Queen falls into the wooden box.

Ive seen many games, with the open d file, White is throwing pieces at the f7 square, often with check, to take the Queen.

How do you like my miniature?

Jan-01-06   Holden: Wow. This is like the Smith-Morra on steriods. White serves up the c pawn in normal Smith-Morra style, but doesn't stop there, playing Bc4 and recapturing on b2 with the bishop...looking more like a Danish than the Smith-Morra.
Mar-17-06   McCool: All those sacrafices for positional advantage. Impressive, for a Wall.
