Okay... so I'm messing around playing a 5 min blitz game at midnight. I'm getting my a-- handed to me, down 2 pawns and facing a pair of dominant bishops in the middle of the board. So, I'm thinking "What would Greenpawn do? Yeah... set a cheesy trap and hope he's not paying attention."
So, GP, this swindle's dedicated to you...

I'm so pleased to have such a crass trap dedicated to my honour.
However, can I have the following variation named after me as well.
Instead of 10.Be3 White can play 10.Nd5 when 10...Qd8 seems forced.
(10...Qxf2 loses the Queen.)
White then does a pseudo Queen sac and nets a few pawns.

Originally posted by greenpawn34I don't see a trap here either... 8...Qb6 and 9...Ne8 just seem like blunders. Rather, 8...Nxg4 and 9...Bxc3 to create an exciting game! But 10.Nd5 and 11.Qxd6 is a beauty.
