My current record on RHP with the Morra gambit:

Played:9
Won:8
Lost:0
Drawn:1

That's fairly respectable.
My score with the Morra Gambit

P 38

W 27
D 5
L 6

77.63%

Wins include Game 2204150, Game 2505381 and Game 2266665.

and while we are at it my score with Kings Gambit

P 84

W 70
D 8
L 6

88.09%

including Game 2492680, Game 2439096, Game 2376895, Game 2277252

So I conclude these openings aren't that bad.

Only 1. g4 stands better

P 16

W 15
D 1
L 0

Possibly the best opening ever.

Wouldn't the fact that the link is still in your post count as evidence? You'd better edit your post a fifth time. 🙂

Last season, I guess I'm living in the past then.

Funny that Squelch calls it last season, because I used to play it...Every once in a while I still throw it out there.

Then don't play it.

I'm just curious to see how things work out in extraordinary openings. (3.Bc4 in KG seems extraordinary to me) People play many weird openings. Few months ago one user at www.gameknot.com played 1.Na3 against me. I lost that game, though it had nothing to do with his opening knowledge, I just made a dumb mistake.

Why not try 3. d4 and see if you can win the game.

The grob will definitely help you to stay under 2000 for ever, its much quicker than tying millstones around your neck and jumping in the sea.

Like the highly dubious center-counter for black?
