    This Tennyson gambit looks interesting. Is there any reference to it that I can find online?

    Aw man, I'm sorry, it's just when I saw 1. Nf3 and then 2. e4, I just thought you were dyslexic. 😉

    You gave us 3 hours in between posting and calling us infidels 🙂
    Duly noted, I will be trying it on some poor unsuspecting opponent imminently... (I don't do blitz though, so expect me to come back in about a month)

    i bought a book from America by a little known chess player, John Lutes. Its in reality
    the Budapest gambit with reversed colours. Great as a surprise weapon in blitz
    although not entirely sound, so i am told. But when did that ever matter?

    even Van Gogh failed to sell a single painting during his lifetime, one can only
    empathise with these other great arteests! 😛

    Lol, i suspect its not entirely sound, but i cannot think why, the best results are when
    white tries to keep the pawn, the development one gets for a measly pawn is more
    than enough compensation. Tennison himself was a great guy, truly a swashbuckling
    hero! A true Southern gentleman! even though he was from the North, but that's
    another story!


    the best line actually in such a position is probably the surprising Nxh7
