It's surprising that no-one tried 4...a6 (by analogy with 4.a3!, which is the only serious threat to the soundness of the Fajarowicz).  Looking closely Black's problem is that White's f2-f4 protects the e5-knight so Black cannot chase it away with ...Qc7, and so 5.d3 is quite strong for White here.

Perhaps 4...Nd7 is best after all, e.g. 5.Nc3 Ngf6 6.Bc4 e6.

I am not sure what you exactly mean with quality games...


These are excellent.  I meant no offense to FICGS players -- only that thematic tournaments do not always produce the best results.   Smiley

And yes, I have found Shulz-Kievelitz, Berlin 1999, which is among the most interesting I have come across -- here is the PGN with some quick notes:

[Event "Berlin Eckbauer Open"]
[Site "Berlin, Germany"]
[Date "1999.10.18"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Schulz, Michael"]
[Black "Kievelitz, Bernd"]
[Result "1-0"]
[WhiteElo "2222"]
[BlackElo "2168"]
[PlyCount "49"]
[EventDate "1999.??.??"]

1. e4 c5 2. f4 d5 3. Nf3 dxe4 4. Ne5 Nf6 5. Nc3 (5. d3 Nbd7 (5... exd3 6. Bxd3 Nc6 (6... g6 $4 7. Nxf7 $18) 7. Nc3 $44) 6. dxe4 Nxe5 (6... Nxe4 7. Nxf7) 7. Qxd8+ Kxd8 8. fxe5 Nxe4 9. Bd3 f5 10. Bxe4 fxe4 11. Nc3 b6 12. O-O Bb7 13. Bf4 g6 14. Rad1+ Kc8 15. e6) 5... a6 6. Bc4 (6. d3 exd3 7. Bxd3 Nbd7) 6... e6 7. a4 b6 8. Qe2 Bb7 9. d3 exd3 10. cxd3 Qd6 $6 (10... Qc7 11. f5 (11. O-O Bd6) 11... Bd6) 11. O-O Be7 12. f5 O-O 13. Bf4 Qd4+ 14. Kh1 Nd5 15. Nxf7 Nxf4 (15... Qf6 16. Bd2 Qxf7 17. fxe6 Qe8 18. Rxf8+ Qxf8 19. Nxd5) 16. Rxf4 Qf6 $2 (16... Qxf4 $8 17. Qxe6 Bxg2+ $8 18. Kxg2 (18. Kg1 Qd4+ 19. Kxg2 Qg4+) 18... Qg4+ 19. Kf1 Qf3+ 20. Kg1 (20. Ke1 Bh4+) 20... Qg4+ $11) 17. Ne5 (17. Raf1 $1 Qxf7 (17... Rxf7 18. fxe6) 18. Bxe6 $18) 17... Bd6 $2 (17... Kh8 $13) 18. fxe6 Qe7 19. Rxf8+ Kxf8 20. Rf1+ Ke8 21. Qh5+ Kd8 22. Rf7 (22. Nf7+ $5 Kc8 23. Nd5 $40) 22... Qe8 23. Rxb7 $1 Qxh5 24. Nf7+ Ke8 25. Nxd6+ {and mate next move.} 1-0

Thomas Johansson mentions that GM Henrik Danielsen (famous around the internet for his work on the Polar Bear) has experimented with the line on ICC since at least 1998.  Here is one game I found:

[Event "ICC 5 0"]
[Site "Internet Chess Club"]
[Date "2002.02.05"]
[Round "-"]
[White "H-Danielsen"]
[Black "petur3"]
[Result "1-0"]
[ICCResult "Black resigns"]
[WhiteElo "2786"]
[BlackElo "2437"]
[Opening "Sicilian: Grand Prix attack"]
[ECO "B21"]
[NIC "VO.07"]
[Time "08:23:08"]
[TimeControl "300+0"]

1. f4 c5 2. e4 d5 3. Nf3 dxe4 4. Ne5 Nf6 5. Nc3 e6 6. Bb5+ Bd7 7. Qe2 Be7 8. b3 O-O 9. Bxd7 Nbxd7 10. Bb2 Nxe5 11. fxe5 Nd5 12. Nxe4 Qc7 13. O-O Nb4 14. d3 Nc6 15. Nf6+ Bxf6 16. exf6 g6 17. Qe3 {Black resigns} 1-0

I wrote Danielsen a note seeking more games ("nothing ventured, nothing gained"), to which he responded quite cordially but said he did not have time to dig any up.

How about calling it the Danielsen Gambit?

Using internet and database searches, I have managed to turn up nearly 20 rather poor-quality games (mostly from FICGS thematic tourneys).  But I was surprised by how few players have tried this natural idea on the model of the Fajarowicz (A51).  I would welcome any additional games -- including blitz -- from readers.

Noting the similarity to the Fajarowicz, a friend suggests calling this the "Sicili-wicz," though maybe better is the "Sicili-Faj" (though both sound a little si-silly -- even if better than "Toilet Variation").  I see many people calling 4.Ng5 the "Bryntse variation," after the correspondence player who played several early games with it -- though perhaps 3.Nf3 is already the Bryntse and this is just a sub-variation?  (Sort of like how some people insist on calling the Faj  the "Budapest Fajarowicz"). 

Suggestions, games, online or book resources, etc. welcome.



I normally consider FICGS games to be high quality myself...

I am not sure what you exactly mean with quality games, but here we go.

According to the current ratinglist of ICCF Barnard has a rating of 2400+ and Cooper of 2160. The games are probably corr. games. I am not sure about the rating of Bennett, as there are two H. Bennetts from New Zealand. One has a rating of 1950, the other of 2350.
I suppose you already have Schulz-Kievelitz, Berlin 1999.
  

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.
