I've been trying this line out against the computer and have won once already.
Its so simple and gives black an awful posistion;
I know it looks dumb, but... black can't take e4 I don't think, it actualy seems ok and its quite easy for white to build an attack. The computer lost to a slightly different line;
I've looked it up as the Reti opening, is sacrificing the knight ever part of this?

oh ye of little faith... I will post the game next time computer looses! 🙂
- just playing for the scholars mate causes trouble, and white can 0-0 and blacks king is in the firing line...
How about a game vs. me with this line? You get white, of course.
I can see moves like this working against a weak computer program
because they will take everything on offer and the idea of saccing back
material is not in their make up.
Against humans?
I looked through the RHP DB for this position.
A knight sac on f7 with nothing else developed.
I narrowed it down to three moves in case White played Nc3
so I'm looking for Nf3 - Ne5/g5 - Nf7
I found these three White wins all under 12 moves.

Is anybody going to pass these games onto Carlsen to use as a surprise
weapon v Anand.
And why not call it a Reti? White played Nf3 the move that
is the Reti trademark.
And Reti played Nf3 and Nxf7......once....and it was kind of delayed.
Witness this very interesting game involving an opening you would
not normally associate with these two great players.
Richard Reti - Akiba Rubinstein Germany 1922.
This is actually a very interesting game with quite a lot going on
behind the scenes. I've pointed a few Reti tricks but there is much
more in this game than that.
Thats a cool game, not sure whats going on around move 18 - 19
The computer lost to this on a high level - it plays at bcf 180 and had 30 sec per move and thinking in my time - was not on easy - and it still lost quite fast. But like you say greenpawn it did make some silly mistakes, tried to attack my king rather then defend the posistion... I will post a game soon, once the one against swissgambit is over.
Here is another early sac I'm trying in the Evans Gambit - it 'looks' good but the saitek defends meticulously against it;
And the atrocious Jerome Gambit is actualy an ok anti computer line;
One of the greatest games ever played by Blackburne had this line

Well that was an epic FAIL.
Maybe another truth-seeker will step to refute it.
see its not so easy, my computer is not crap, so if it looses...
I think with hindsite I should have played 2 Ne5 to stop you playing e5. And Nc3 gave you free development. Good game though, thanks!!
