RE: Gambit of Othello, the Moore of Venice!

There is a link at the bottom of the text with explanation, @gabotask, but I will put the key paragraph here for you:

It is called Schilling-Kostic Gambit. Kostić, because Serbian grandmaster Borislav Bora Kostić liked to play it, and Schilling because there is a story that Joseph Henry Blackburne (‘The Black Death’) used to play a games for a shilling, winning over repeatedly with this trap.

Did you hear for a Tennison Gambit? That one looks even more crazy, but not with so spectacular ending :)

Sort:  

Yes, of course. i read it is crazy... About the tennison gambit yes! my god hahahaha, that's worse than all (i think) hahahaha, no doubt that's why i love chess, it has so many possibilities for so many types of players, that makes it so great.
