Damiano - 2006/07/18 21:07
After reading article in Chesscafe about Damaino's gambit I became curoius if it was so bad after all. The line which I'm nervously talking about is this:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f6 3.Nxe5 (3.Bc4 is another story) Qe7 4.Nf3 d5 5.d3 dxe4 6.dxe4 Qxe4+ 7.Be2 Nc6 (I supose 7.-Bf5 is considered better but it looks more suspicious to me) 8.0-0 Bd7 9.Nc3 Qf5
Now as Tim McGrew wrote 10.Bd3 Qh5 11.Bf4 0-0-0 12.Nb5 (I suppose there must be clearly something better for white than this) a6 13.Nxc7 g5
14.Bg3 f5 and white doesn't seem to have more than a draw by 15.Nd5 f4
16.Nb6+ Kc7 17.Nd5+ Kc8 18.Nb6+
I violently plkayed few blitz games with this variuation and cheerfully scored quite well after black's ninth move. Of cuorse my opponents didn't really seem to know the position well. White certainly has some advantage but that's the case in all openings anyway. I think Damiano's defesne really has too bad reputatoin..
