A key symptom of Gambit Psychosis is the belief that chess played other than in gambit fashion is boring.
Well Sigmund Freud, thank you for your expert diagnosis but as I see it, besides not even saying this or even infering (so I really don't know where you got it from), there is a slight flaw in your rational, not all sharp openings are gambits. A couple that spring to mind are the Kere’s attack and the Najdorf variation, both from the Sicilian Defence and both which I have tried during my playing life time.
As for the rest of your self indulgent hubris driven diatribe, not interested in feeding trolls.

As opposed to the 'Esserman strategy' which is to beat people rated 2700 plus with their gambit ideas and then publish a book based upon their efforts, in which he states he hopes the gambit not being accepted becomes the main line as this itself is strong evidence of the gambit's viability.
Ooooook…..

As for using Google, I have tried this and have find out a number of things about Fyfe the man ( In that he was quite a strong player for his time) but nothing about his idea.
Try Google Books.
This is the only sensible suggestion I have received that has actually born fruit, I have managed to find some analysis in Chess Openings, Ancient and Modern by Freeborough. So again I thank you for your assistance.
