Jul-01-16  deanman58: Dean Arond is known to like many dubious Gambits. But are they really dubious?

  offramp: Here's an oddity... I am sure that Ludek Pachman said that "the "Daring Damiano" Variation of Petroff's Defense 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 Nxe4!?" as the bio has it, is quite a playable gambit. What is also good about 3...Nxe4 is that it prevents White from playing his own short-circuiting gambit, the Cochrane Gambit (4.Nxf7). That <is> definitely playable, so why shouldn't 3...Nxe4 be?

  FSR: <offramp> Inspired by Dean's example, I have played the Daring Damiano in blitz, e.g. NN vs F Rhine, 2017. It does indeed avoid the Cochrane Gambit. Someone played it against me anyway: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 Nxe4 4.Nxf7?? Qe7! and White could resign.
