An excellent question but i havent learned to post games only diagrams so far.However since its only a few moves you could try to guess what happened as a puzzle.

To post a game, just click the insert board from pgn button or type in the command like this...

Replace ( with [

(pgn)1.c3 e5(/pgn)

With the brackets you get this...

          I don`t see an insert board from pgn button though i did it by typing the moves in.
          Where do i find an insert board from pgn button?

          It should be near the bottom of your screen. There are four links:

          Insert smiley
          Insert link to a game
          Insert board from FEN
          Insert Board from PGN

          It should be just below the box that says this: Important : Posts on this board may be subject to moderation.

          It's more of a showcase of why you should not be playing 1. ... f5 😛

          This is a dutch nightmare. All of us, dutch player have the nightmare of getting mated like this, and a white dream.

          The solution is simple. Don't play the Dutch against 1.c3 😉

          But we are dutch devetee, we are goign to push the f5 pawn even if you think it is very bad or a crime agaisn't humanity.


          I believe a d5 should be good, why taking the pawn anyway ?

          it think you probably should take the pawn, but unless you're prepared for the consequences d5 seems safer, especially before Nf6 (like in the normal 1.d4 f5 2.g4? fxg4 3.h3 gambit). although d6 looks even better to me, as white doesn't have the c3-c4 break nor the follow-up Nc3 typical to most gambit lines against dutch, and black gets e5 in early which is usually very nice.

          it looks a bit tricky, but probably black should be fine. megadatabase 2007 doesn't have a single game for 1.c3 f5 2.h3 though, so I wonder if I'm missing something blindingly obvious which simply kills white?


          as a sidenote, I just love it when people play the e4 & g4 sacs against my leningrad. they're my bread & butter. often something like this happens:
