Calling Black's Bluff



ScottWeatherill - Hanjh
standard game, FICS, 2013

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4 




The Blackburne Shilling Gambit.


4.Bxf7+


The Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit.


4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Ke6 6.c3 




A topical line of play, generally continuing 6...Kxe5 7.cxd4 with a complex game.


6...Qg5


Instead, Black plays the thematic move from the Blackburne Shilling Gambit, usually seen at move 4 : 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4 4.Nxe5?! Qg5!?.


Is Black's threat to g2 real? White doesn't think so! Perhaps he has read "Reeling Sequel" and "Still A Bad Idea". (You're welcome.)


7.cxd4 Qxg2 8.Qb3+ Ke7 9.Qf7+ Kd6 10.Qd5+ Ke7 11.Qf7+ Kd6 12.Nc4+ Black resigned
