Nov-09-04		themindset: 6...Nc6 and black would have been better.

Nov-09-04		Willem Wallekers: Nice puzzle for a tuesday.

Jan-31-07		micartouse: This is the same game as the well known Englund Gambit 8-move trap with reversed colors and an extra tempo used for 1. f4.

Oct-28-07		rhedrich: <themindset> after 6...Nc6 I have 7.Nb5 (intending Nxc7 of course) and either 7...Nd5 8.Bc4 or 7...Rc8 8.Nxa7 (8...Ra8 9.Nxc6; 8...Nxa7 9.Qxa7) and white comes out ahead a pawn at least. He's only 3 moves away from a king or queenside castle, and black's decimated queenside pawn structure and doubled e-pawns make it hard for him to mount any sort of a comeback. After 7.Nb5 what would you suggest for black, if there's anything I missed?

Oct-28-07		SwitchingQuylthulg: <rhedrich> 7.Nb5 Nd5 8.Bc4? Rb8 just loses for White. The only square for the queen is a6, so 9.Qa6 Ncb4 10.Qa4 a6 (the simplest) and the pin of Nb5 wins a piece for Black.

Oct-21-10		Monoceros: This game is hilarious. Basically someone figured out how to play the Englund Gambit mating trap (see Silbermann vs Honich, 1930) as White.
