      @vitovitovito4927 Рік тому +2

      This is the most accurate sequence for black most of the time, and leads to positions where black is comfortably better.
      The best sequence for white is to play e5, and after black retreats the knight, just try with white to play with lead in development with Bc5 and other natural moves.

    I have an idea for a sacrificial line in the Halloween gambit
    1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Nxe5 Nxe5, the Halloween gambit. then d4, attacking the knight, Ng6, knight retreats. You play e5, attacking the other knight, and if they play Qe7, thinking they have pinned the attacking pawn to the king, you could simply block with Be2. Ng8, the knight escapes the attack,
    O-O d6, challenging the pawn. Re1 dxe5 dxe5. Now here you traded pawns, but the e5 pawn is hanging. Most would play Qxe5, a blunder for we can reply with Bf4!! A brilliant sacrifice of the bishop. If they take with the queen, we go Bb5 checkmate. If they take with the knight, we still move our bishop to Bb5 check, a discovered attack, the bishop attacks the king and the rook attacks the queen. You would end up winning a queen for a bishop!
