Originally posted by SquelchbelchI recall going through the Hoogendorn analysis and also the first part of the IM Lenderman(?) video about the Smith-Morra (approx. 25 min. long) I think his name was.

Ng5 seems premature...
Originally posted by YugaIndeed, this defence is frequently mis-played by white.
...Black scores well with it (Nc6/e6/a6/Nge7/Ng6) defense because white usually doesn't know the correct plan for dealing with the Nc6/e6/a6/Nge7/Ng6 though...
Originally posted by SquelchbelchI actually do have that line in my analysis and I think it came from the chessville analysis.
Indeed, this defence is frequently mis-played by white.
Correct after:
1.e4...c5
2.d4...cxd4
3.c3...dxc3
4.Nxc3...Nc6
5.Nf3...e6
6.Bc4...a6
7.0-0...N(g)e7
is the crucial
8.Bg5! then ...f6
9.Be3
when white (who actually knows what he's doing) scores well.

Nice game.
Do you have any particular book reccommendations for playing (as or against) the Smith-Morra?
