Anybody have any experience with the Cochrane Gambit on white side of Petrov? Have you every tried it on Rhp or other correspondence sites? I've used it in blitz a few times and it's well-suited for that sort of thing, but i wonder if anybody's dared to try it in correspondence. You don't see much analysis around.
The Cochrane gambit gave me trouble as black here: Game 103955
(although I was in trouble from the outset, given the strength of my opponent)
few GM use this system ... I only play it ( and I am an amateur player ! ) on blitz or bullet chess !
Cochrane gambit is very nice , it creates a real weakness at the Black's Kingside ...
see how Topalov fights against Kramnik on 1999 !
