So, can anyone tell me what this dubious little gambit might be called?
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Nc3 Nf6
4. Nxe5?!
Should be prettty easy....
Guess the Opening!
Greetings Cliff ...... ! I always enjoy having these old brain cells tested .....
I knew from reading the move-order, that this sounded to be some variation of The Four Knights Opening, but I couldn't remember the name of this particular gambit ...??.. So then it was off to my dusty copy of Firmian's MCO .... which didn't help ..... .... at which point I finally had to cheat and consult my mega ECO on disk ...... and alas ..........
The Four Knights Opening .... Schultze-Mueller Gambit, ECO C46-C47
So now, was my research all in vain .... or do I win the 'Grand Prize' .... And did you really mean to suggest that this should have been an easy opening question ...??? Ha, Ha, Ha ! I hope we haven't violated any forum rules by posting this here in the General Forum, as oppossed to the Games/Puzzles Forum..... either way, Nice Post My Friend ! ! !
