The fegatello is theoretically unsound, but, perhaps because of this, is often unknown to young players who are otherwise well-prepared. Once shell-shocked by such a virulent attack seeming to come from nowhere in a sound, quiet opening, they are quite capable of overlooking a one-move mate as they scramble for counter-attack.

I played this exact game against the first board player of a rival high school. When other players saw that our game was over, they all assumed that the inner-city high school kid (me) had lost. Doubtless, the gentleman from the better part of town had won many games before to merit such faith. Probably he won many more thereafter. Almost certainly, he familiarized himself, for the first time in his life, with the fegatello after the game.
