1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. g4
I'll have that.

You can murder people with the Smith-Morra, especially if they aren't prepared for it.

You still get all the early attacking chances & plenty of play for a measly pawn.

Hey Paul, still long is the fresh hot night at your warm fatherland, feel free to dive dep down in it!

My Scheveningen chessmen are afraid not them woosies c3 and/ or them S/M maniacs and ever ready they are to do or die, chanting loud all the way down:

"From Smithies and Morras
And long-leggedy beasties
And c3s that go bump in the night,
Good Schevvy deliver us!"

And you know the drillπŸ™‚

Best regards my friend
