Game 3599000
I just cant find anywhere it went wrong 😕
At the end, f6 was played to lose a pawn but keep better position and bishop pair, BxN would quickly fall apart and lose im pretty sure of that. So the game seems lost by then anyway, right?
My opponent is a GM and personally thinks that the gambit by black is unsound and white can with perfect play force a victory, though he isnt certain of it he is pretty convinced that black cannot draw if white plays perfectly.
I didnt know if anyone here would be able to disagree or offer any alternate moves etc for black, it would be appreciated.
And no i dont genuinely think this game is a refutation of the gambit, but can't see where i could have improved!

The post that was quoted here has been removedI am shocked you have not said "just kidding" yet. We all know you, 1900 RHP player, are not becoming GM. Also I am pretty sure you dont have any norms at all. They are extremely hard to achieve, especially if one is club player.
Oh and btw...whats your elo rating Smaug?

As for whether or not he is a GM, it doesnt really matter, he is the most knowledgable player i have faced on this site still, and so his claim that black has made no errors is still worth investigating.

The post that was quoted here has been removedI recall that many super-GM's have used it recently (including Leko, Anand, even Kramnik in blindfold), but an analysis of the game below would be very interesting.

- As someone who plays the white side of the Ruy, I feel that chess wouldn't be fair if white couldn't refute this gambit. 😉
