|
| Jul-20-04 | | ArturoRivera: I think that is why we played 5.-Nf3 or even e3 in the from`s gambit! |
|
| Nov-15-05 | | JYMMI: AHH!THAT'S WORSE THAN RECIEVE A MATE IN 2 MOVES. THAT'S Y I DON'T PLAY THE BIRD'S OPENING ANYMORE IN MY OPINION IT WAS BETTER TO PLAY 5_g3 SO DO A FIANCHETTO AND AFTERMAKE A CASTLING.
THIS GAME IS CERTAINLY IN MY COLECTION OF NOOB'S GAMES. |

 | | FSR: I won identically to this in a tournament game against Peter Napetschnig in Chicago in 1977. It was a 40/2 tournament, and we had started the game with the clock set at 3:59 for each side. I mated him before my flag fell. Very amusing. Best is either 5.g3 g4 6.Nh4, which I think is generally considered better for White (although I've done very well in blitz games with 6...Ne7 and 7...Ng6), or 5.d4 g4 6.Ne5 (6.Ng5?! leads to a dubious knight sacrifice), when 6...Bxe5 7.dxe5 Qxd1+ leads to a drawish endgame. |

 | | kevin86: Barney played this one like DINO |
|
| Feb-21-06 | | McCool: Why is this game in here? They both only played one game, and they weren't even GM's. Could I send a game in so that it can be on here, oh and I will lose in four moves so I can be in more than six game collections. |

| Jan-13-07 | | Tactic101: Oh boy, oh boy, he sure didn't know something was up when he played h3????? |
|
| Mar-04-07 | | Rubenus: An interesting variation in the From's gambit is 1. f4 e5 2. g4!? with unclear play. |

 | | tpstar: An even more interesting variation in the From's Gambit is 1. f4 e5 2. g4?? Qh4# with clear play. ;>D I just caught someone in this trap too. 4 ... g5!? really freaks people out. :-) |
|
| Oct-21-07 | | Infohunter: Talk about capitalizing on a weak move! What could White have been thinking? Or was he thinking at all? |
|
| Feb-20-08 | | D.Observer: Barney, the dinosaur plays chess?! |

 | | WannaBe: <D.Observer> Incorrect, this is actually Barney from the Simpsons! |
|
| Dec-24-08 | | WhiteRook48: silly Barney play. He's even worse than NN! Or Cornelissen! Or even Alekhine drinking Alekwine! |

 | | Nightsurfer: Big Barney is not alone anymore, he's got a friend now, some lousy 36 years later! You do not believe it? You gonna believe it, folks, here's Barney's new buddy popping up: M Dragicevic vs R Gralla, 2005 ... :-) ... |

Classic. <....Best is either 5.g3 g4 6.Nh4, which I think is generally considered better for White (although I've done very well in blitz games with 6...Ne7 and 7...Ng6), or 5.d4 g4 6.Ne5 (6.Ng5?! leads to a dubious knight sacrifice), when 6...Bxe5 7.dxe5 Qxd1+ leads to a drawish endgame.> The only game I ever had in which my opponent accepted the From (instead of playing 2.e4 or 2.fxe5 d6 3.e4) was a blitz game against Rohde, where he played into 5.d4 etc. He won a long double-rook ending. |
