I know that is vague, but is it enough to jog anyone's memory?  Thanks.


Smiley You are trying to remember the Budapest Gambit ! Smiley

That is it - Budapest Gambit.
I knew this was the group to ask. Thx

Budapest was my first thought. Could it also apply to the Scotch (gambit/Murphy or regular)?

GeneM says ...Bc5 may be played before the knight moves from f6. I think that might be a novelty in the Budapest...

Except that there is no typical e2-e4-e5 in the Budapest... Huh


I thought the same thing at first, but even though there is no e2-e4, the pawn ends up on e5.

Yes, the Budapest Gambit was my guess as well.

That's an interesting puzzler. The opening that came to my mind was the Italian Two Knights, and Bc5 can feature in other Italian lines



  

Those who want to go by my perverse footsteps play such pawn structure with fuzzy atypical still strategic orientations

I have only a vague memory of certain opening, yet I want to recall its Name.  Can you recognize its Name from my following vague description of its moves?

  • The signature move is an early Black move of *either* Nf6-g4  OR  Nf6-e4, depending on Black's mood.
  • The opening might also involve an even earlier Bf8-c5.
  • White might have played e2-e4, and soon after e4-e5.


I know that is vague, but is it enough to jog anyone's memory?  Thanks.
