Morra gambit ... I'm at home
Off topic , moving to another section if to be continued ?
Unfortunately, Stefan is wrong, or rather the Illustrated London News 1956
In fact, it's a game Tilliette, (FRA) - Giacomelli, (ITA), corr. 1955-56, annotated by Pierra Morra :
1. e4 c5 2. d4 cxd4 3. c3 dxc3 4. Nxc3 Nc6 5. Nf3 d6 6. Bc4 e6 7. O-O Be7 8. Qe2 a6 9. Rd1 Qc7 10. Bf4 Ne5 11. Bxe5 dxe5 12. Bb5+ axb5 13. Nxb5 Qa5 14. Rac1 f6 15. Rc7 Qa4 16. Qd3 b6 17. b3 1-0
Pierre Morra has played his gambit of course, for example :
