My first game against zadox had several strange and unexpected moves – odd enough for me to humorously attribute them to some kind of "Jedi Mind Tricks."
I was ready in our rematch, however, and the Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit had enough "Force" to win handily.
perrypawnpusher - zadox
blitz 5 12, FICS, 2010
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4
The Blackburne Shilling Gambit. I have 15 wins, 2 losses and a draw against it, all with 4.Bxf7+.
4.Bxf7+ Ke7
Again with the mind tricks!
There is no "objective" reason to decline the sacrifice, but zadox has this all thought out. As soon as the White Bishop moves off of the f7 square along the a1-g8 diagonal, the Black King will move back to e8, freeing the Black Queen to go to g5 – should White play Nxe5.
Don't laugh. That's what I did in our first meeting: I took on e5.
5.Bc4
Or 5.Bxg8, as in perrypawnpusher - zadox, blitz FICS, 2010: 5...Ke8 6.Nxe5 Qg5 7.Nf3 Qxg2 8.Nxd4 Qxh1+ 9.Ke2 Qxd1+ 10.Kxd1 Rxg8 11.d3 d6 12.Nc3 Bg4+ 13.f3 Bh5 14.Bg5 c5 15.Nf5 Bxf3+ 16.Kd2 h6 17.Bf4 g6 18.Nxd6+ Bxd6 19.Bxd6 Kd7 20.Bxc5 b6 21.Be3 Rac8 22.Rf1 Bg4 23.Rf7+ Ke6 24.Rxa7 g5 25.Ra6 Rc6 26.Nd5 Rgc8 27.Rxb6 Kd7 28.Rxc6 Kxc6 29.Ne7+ Black resigned
5...Ke8
6.Nxd4 exd4
It is dire to note that after the game Rybka suggested that best for Black was not the recapture, but 6...Qh4. Since White has 7.Qf3, the result – 7...Nf6 8. Nb3 – is not much better an outcome for Black.
7.Qh5+ g6
8.Qe5+ Qe7 9.Qxh8 Qxe4+
At this point I realized that the position was oddly similar to one in a game (a Damiano Defense) that I had played against Dr. Andrew Hinkle, 40 years ago. Mind trick, indeed.
10.Kd1 Qxg2
Better is 10...Ne7, but after 11.Re1 Black has no compensation for the Rook.
11.Re1+ Kd8 12.Qxg8 Qg4+ 13.Be2
13...Qe6 14.Qxf8+ Black resigned
And not a midi-chlorian too soon.
