Came across this game where if white plays the Italian opening black could mate in 14. Could be useful in a bullet or blitz game.
lichess.org/ntukA5FA#1 Most Italian players play 4 d3 nowadays.
Most 4 Ng5 players play 5 Bxf7+
Most 4 Nxf7 players play 6 Kf1
8 Qe2 is stupid, it gives black the attacking move 8...Nd4 for free.
I‘ll play Estrin’s 4.d4!?!? against the regular Italian.
Putting the pawn en prise in three different ways is somewhat extravagant.
6. Kxf2 is wrong. People who are competent in the fried liver know damn well to move the king to f1 after the check from the bishop.
Dont premove if you play Traxler!
