Brilliant attack!

[@charleshoward1591]

The rook sac on F1 to decoy the white queen from defending the bishop on E4 reminds me of Fischer’s rook and bishop sacrifices in Robert Byrne v Fischer 1964 US Championship.

I learnt chess with USRSS championship books. Simagin even a very creative player had to fight to avoid finishing in last position. A lot of monster players!

sounds like Owen's Defense

[@uguree]

Short castle would work, don't be afraid, be like Alpha zero! Also, alpha zero plays the Bishop to G2, Nobe of these happened

Yes, but Stockfish is rated 3500 so it doesn't really matter. You and I will be playing human beings and none have a rating over 2900...and most people we play are rated no more than 2000
