[b]The contents of a series of PMs on z00ts claim the Morra Gambit is a mikey mouse opening.
DF > Then why did I win Game 3676033 against a player rated above 2000?
z00t > Because your opponent does not know how to play against the Smith Morra. I was playing it against a player now removed for 3(a) and black should not allow what ...[text shortened]... shed source to back your claims up?

In fact Wikipedia is not the only one. See http://www.jeremysilman.com/book_reviews_rb/rb_Smith_Mora_Finegold_Var.html
Where it says [b]"The fact that there is so little master level theory and practice on this line does give one pause, but perhaps it is not so hard to explain. For one thing, there are several playable black alternatives against the Smith-Mo ...[text shortened]... ."
Class what does given the lack of higher level contests with the gambit mean?[/b]
Originally posted by z00tAs you are have problems to read what I have wrote I`ll give you one more chance to read main questions:
The article says [b]"IM Ben Finegold was brought into the project to provide analytic support and positional evaluations. The authors also enlisted the help of other strong players, including FM Fred Lindsay, IM Jack Peters, and GM Dmitry Gurevich".
If that does not convince anyone the earlier statements are self-explanatory The fact that there is so other day so it would be someone who has lived on Mars who can disregard the above statements.[/b]

That in fact concurs with what I told Dragon Fire at the start It is not common in grandmaster games, but at club level chess it is an ex e have any sources to back himself up he has just contradicted the facts in the above article.

Originally posted by z00tThe Encyclopaedia Britannica, a well known reference source for all matters relating to chess. I had better throw away all my other books and stick to this definitive reference from now on..
If it isn't Mr Fire who claims that he does not disclose the contents of PMs in forums and then misquotes me. Well, well, well we all know that the Morra gambit is rare above club level.
Before I go any further has Mr Fire attached any evidence to support his claim or is he just making empty noise. If he can show me an entry on the Encyclopaedia Britannica I would accept that as evidence.
