Chess: Sicilian Defense: Morphy Gambit

I played white side, against Sicilian Defense with a "Morphy gambit". The "gambit" is on my side. So, instead of right away capturing the d4 pawn, the g1 knight moved to f3, that's the "Morphy gambit" line. They call it knight, but it is abbreviated as "n" (English). Because "k" is already used for king. Back then it was "kt" — it was two letters, therefore, "n".

If continued, it would be checkmate in "impending doom". 😂 You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board. Look at the image above, the pieces are mostly offence side. 🤣 So, a bit about Russian Game: Cozio (Lasker) Attack . Russian Game Also called the Petrov Defence, it starts: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 Symmetrical, solid, often heading into positional battles rather than wild tactics. It's called "Russian Game" because the first big theory work on it came from 19th-century Russian masters, notably from Alexander Petrov (hence Petrov Defence). Cozio Carlo Cozio was an 18th-century Italian nobleman and chess author. He'...
